Re: A very depressing video from Gaza
If you're able to ignore the limbs blown off babies and look at the "war" as an intellectual exercise, Hamas were smart as hell unleashing the attack. They absolutely knew Israel would go all America on their arse and massacre thousands of people, and Israel promptly did exactly what they...

Re: A very depressing video from Gaza
But hey, it's growing a whole new generation of terrorists, so it's all good - we gotta have forever wars. Indeed. And that was predictable. I look at October 7, and I see a truly disgusting event. Really, really, bad. A massive, coordinated attack against primarily civilian targets. The people on ...

Re: A very depressing video from Gaza
We shuttle about; get conquered; explore; exploit...why get zealous about one spot in time? Because it's a religious thing. "God gave this land to me" as the song goes. Israelis believe that they not only have a right to that piece of the world, they have a literal God-given right to it. ...

Re: A very depressing video from Gaza
Maybe we could give a state to the Israelis. A Dakota. Call it Zion. Hitler wanted to give them Madagascar, but he couldn't work out the details, so he killed them instead. Well, not quite all of them. But no one wanted the survivors. My fantasy solution to the problem would be, instead of giving t...

Re: A very depressing video from Gaza

Re: A very depressing video from Gaza
I'm no fan of Joe Biden, in general, but at least he is saying the right things about the settler problem. Or, at least he is saying something. I don't know if any previous president actually openly criticized settler policy, except maybe in slight, mamby pamby, "We need to find a solution"...

Re: A very depressing video from Gaza
When you think that you´ve lost everything you find out you can always lose a little more. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/02/world/middleeast/west-bank-palestinians-israel-settlers.html Paywall. But since it includes the word "settlers", I assume it's about Jews doing something stupid. H...

Re: A very depressing video from Gaza
The thing I find so depressing about it, is that I don't see a good course of action. I don't see things exactly like you expressed. I don't think the Israeli side wants to kill all the Arabs. At least, the people in charge of Israel don't want to kill all the Arabs. I think they're indifferent to k...

Re: A very depressing video from Gaza
So.....what's so depressing about it? If you didn't watch it, she describes a very hard life. She didn't mention anyone in her family killed, so that's a plus. She lost her three cats, but saved the dog. She's living, along with several family members, in the south of the Gaza Strip, in an area with...

A very depressing video from Gaza
This board is mostly lightweight stuff, but this just struck me. It's a bit depressing. Well.....more than a bit, really. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wtdO2e5vwU It's a young woman, 23 years old, describing her life in Gaza right now. It's not good. But I must confess, what truly depressed me wa...
