Actually, it's easy to see what happened here, there's a lot of bad reporting. The UN had been reporting the number of dead that Hamas claimed. They switched to reporting what the Ministry of Health listed, instead. As you say, this is not half. It is, however, approximately how many...

Wolf! After the first mass grave "discovered" was shown to have been dug by the Palestinians I haven't dug into whether the rest are equally deceptive but I see no reason to think otherwise.

And what incident are you referring to? I recall some claims of strikes on aid, some of which is clearly faked. I do not recall any convoy being hit car by car.

And what's your answer to that poll showing 57% of the population says 10/7 was the right choice.

And they aren't targeting civilian populations. You minimize civilian casualties but when Hamas puts everything of importance next to or under civilians they're going to get hit. And you continue to search for your keys under the streetlight.

Every hospital in Gaza is a Hamas base, but I do not recall any being bombed. They have been taken by ground assault. The one "bombing" of a hospital was that IJ rocket malfunction, probably touching off more rockets in the process. And you continue to think that proportionate is relevant...

It is not realistically possible to defend the border against all threats. The only defense possible is to remove the source of the threat. Try a mirror. You claim Israel should have the right to defend itself but only in some fantasyland perfect way.

An awful lot of the settler violence does not add up.

We are talking about Islamists, not merely Muslims. You say "balanced"--in other words, you admit the first two are true. And what's unbalanced about them?

It isn't a matter of might makes right. I choose the side that is defending itself. I choose the side that isn't trying to engage in genocide. A majority of those million Gazans still think it was the right course of action. What are you smoking?! What Arab nation would touch that with a...

Your "nuanced" is a faith based position. You are sure there must be a better answer so you blame Israel for not finding it. If nobody else has found one why do you think Israel can?

Replace "hard core Zionists" with "average Israeli citizen". War is expensive, they would prefer peace, but they see war as preferable to 10/7. Their extremists would like to gobble up Gaza and the West Bank but that's not worthwhile to the average Israeli.

Since nobody has better answers I don't feel that criticism is appropriate. It's always the faith-based belief that there must be a better answer--the lack of anyone suggesting one should be recognized as significant.

Huh? Ethnic cleansing is genocide targeted at a specific ethnic group. (Although I have also seen the term applied when the distinction is religious.) Showing genocide (which isn't happening) doesn't show ethnic cleansing.

Huh? Have they not already basically done that? The more destitute the people the less money is required to dominate the economy. And the more domination of the economy the easier it is to make people into cannon fodder. Except it's even more so. Trump et al don't seek the destruction of...

Hamas is attempting to commit ethnic cleansing. The fact that they aren't very successful at it doesn't change that.

Standard leftist faith based error detected. Automatically assuming there must be a good solution and therefore a bad outcome is the fault of the side with more power failing to find said solution. If there's a better answer why has nobody suggested it? Plenty of ways they could put it out there.

It's not that it's "ok", it's that it's a regrettable necessity. If you refuse to kill children in Gaza you let Hamas massacre the Jews. While this is obviously a cartoon what should Israel do if faced with the depicted situation? Because this is just a simplified version of what's actually...

If you keep protecting them from being hit for committing massacres you are giving them the ability to commit ethnic cleansing.

I wonder how they are making the comparison between forces. Israel has nothing in the realm of the Vanguard submarines.
