The released hostages are saying they were more scared of being killed by IDF than Hamas.

Serve in new ways means either paid corporate board position or lobbyist. That is the norm. And nobody is shocked he is leaving.

I think you are over reacting and almost no illegals will actually join the military.

I am sympathetic towards the Palestinain people. But why in the world protest for their cause at a Christmas tree lighting? I fail to see the connection or relevence? It just pisses off people who might be sympathetic.

I can see the airline tags on their luggage. They obviously flew into mexico and took a cab to the border. I seriously doubt the Chinese came here to join the military, they probably aleady have jobs lined up and waiting for them. Foreign criminals would have no interest in joining the military. The pay isn't nearly as good.

Well I have always thought we can end the illegal immigration problem by just giving anyone who wants one a green card but no entitlements. If they want to serve in the military I think it is fine. It puts them to work instead of getting a handout.

That seems unwise. Isn't Guyana still a commonwealth member? Argentina tried something similar and go their ass handed to them by the brits.

I don't think this is anything new. Citizenship for miltary service already exists.

I don't believe for one minute that the church of satan members do not worship satan.

Isreal has not been able to back up the whole command center claim. So far they have show pictures of maybe a dozen rifles, an A/C unit, sink and a crapper.

Typically petty crimes, rock throwing etc. The west bank is controlled by military courts, not civilian courts and the laws are different for Palestinians and Israeli citizens.

Even if you don't deem the Palestinians "good", what is happening to them is still genocide.

I would think that is possible. I think the quote by the Pope was "If you have good will who am I to judge?" The official church doctorine is that it is not a sin to have homosexual thoughts, it's only a sin if you act on them.

The vast majority of Palestinians in Gaza could not suport Hamas. It is impossible. The majority of the population was not even of voting age the last time an election was held in Gaza.

That has been known for a while. IDF pilots shot at fleeing festival attendees and IDF tanks shot at houses where Hamas was holding hostages. It's obvious when you look at the level of damage to the cars and houses. Hamas crossed the wall with small arms and RPG at most. The cars and houses were hit with heavy weapons.

It's possible, there will never be any way to prove or disprove that. The attack by Hamas was well planned but also very basic. My own theory is that IRGCQ provided intelligence and trained them for it. The Palestinians are not just refugees, but stateless and have been so for 3 generations.

This was the "proof" of a Hamas "command center" that justifies bombing a hospital. 10 rifles. In a place like gaza that could have just been the security guards. Plenty of American homes have more than 10 rifles in them. https://www.yahoo.com/news/israeli-military-says-weapons-found-114604915.html

I'm hoping our government will butt out of it.

Nobody has evidence. We are all speculating and will never know the truth.

I don't think that is the case at all. I think the attack worked because it was low tech but well planned. I'd bet money that IRGCQ planned the whole thing and trained Hamas for it.

In the past they traded one IDF soldier for I think 1,000 or so Palestinian prisoners. It may have been a reasonable assumption they could do so again.

That 1,200 was revised down from 1,400. If you are referring to the reports that IDF killed some of their own citizens while trying to kill Hamas fighters, that could very well be true. The Israelis have a long history of not caring about civilian casualties. I do not and will not ever support or make excuses for Hamas, they are terrorists.

So far 1,200 Israelis killed by Hamas. 12,000 Palestinians killed by IDF and more than 1.5 million driven from their homes. Every hospital in northern Gaza bombed, shut down and raided on IDF claims they are being used by Hamas as command centers. IDF has found a few AK47s.

Bundy was guilty. He knows he is breaking the law when he does what he does. I tend to agree with him and am happy he got a favorable jury, but that doesn't change the fact he broke laws. So was Bundy staging an insurrection or was it just a protest then? You can't claim these people are staging an insurrection, then claim Bundy did the same thing and it was just a protest.

DeSantis has been going all in on Iowa and igonoring NH. I guess it makes sense for him as his platform plays better in the midwest than new england. The governor of Iowa endorsed DeSantis.

Looks like your normal protest to me. Arrest the lot of them, fines or a few days in jail. They were not trying to subvert the result of an election, it's not an insurection. I'm getting tired of every stupid leftist protest being compared to January 6th. If Biden loses and they try what the Trumpkins did, then we can talk. I can't believe they are still wearing masks?

I don't doubt that babies are dying in the hospitals in Gaza. Even if Hamas really does have some sort of tunnel under the hospital, it is still a war crime to attack the hospital.

Surprised Ireland doesn't.
