just like if it was your family going through apartheid, your home taken or destroyed, depriving you of political and civil rights, you might understand...or if your family were living in Gaza and being evacuated and denied water, food, electricity, or even killed you would feel different about these innocents, blah, blah, blah...

"save the innocents, blah, blah, blah." wow, your compassionate nature is off the charts! (but it also doesn't surprise me...)

As far as I know there’s one of us in this little quote fest that has any relation to a group in this mess. They’ve got the right to defend themselves

You’ve made your point. You have the right. It’s an ugly mess. Everyone plays the victim card today, it’s the popular thing to do. Peace be upon you . Try to chill. Or as the mods tell me “you might want to take a break for a couple of days”. To each his own.

N=1 isnt a consensus, nor do you speak for others that share your ethnicity. Here is a a pretty extensive poll done back in 2021 on what American Jews think about politics including the Israel/Palestine situation. I am curious what it would look like now:

Its always a fascinating phenomenon when the right tries to identity politic after all of the grief they give the left on the topic. Your comments are stunningly similar to Ben Shapiro. Identity politics are only bad when other people do it, right?

My, my do I feel chastised. How can I be so wrong and misguided? I have no clue who or WTF a Ben Shapiro is. I have openly praised Biden in this mess, I don’t believe he is right wing. While you’re at it do I have to give back my tribal tag or is that not ok now?
 

Summary (BBC)​

  1. Trucks carrying aid, and one loaded with coffins, have entered Gaza for the first time since the Israel-Hamas war erupted
  2. The BBC counted 20 vehicles with white flags moving through the Rafah crossing into Gaza from Egypt - the UN called it a "drop in the ocean" of what's needed
  3. Yesterday, Hamas released its first hostages since its major surprise attack on Israel two weeks ago
  4. Mother and daughter Judith and Natalie Raanan were among about 200 people abducted; Natalie's half-brother has told the BBC of his "overwhelming" joy at their release
  5. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel is trying to free more hostages, though his forces will also "fight till victory". Israel continues to bombard Gaza
  6. It's two weeks since Hamas launched its assault on Israel, killing more than 1,400 people. Palestinian officials say more than 4,000 people have died in Gaza since then
  7. And the leaders of Arab and European countries are meeting in Egypt to discuss the crisis, but expectations are low because key players like Iran - and Israel itself - aren't attending
 

Summary (BBC)​

  1. Israel's military has vowed to intensify air strikes on Gaza and has warned Palestinians still in the north of the territory to flee south
  2. A military spokesman said this would allow Israel to "minimise the risks to our forces in the next stages of the war" - which is expected to be a ground invasion
  3. Photos from a central Gaza hospital show lines of bodies, including at least 12 children. It is not clear when or where they died
  4. One member of staff at the hospital told the BBC they're running out of shrouds for the dead
  5. Hamas says 266 Palestinians have been killed in the past 24 hours, including 117 children. Israel says it killed "dozens of terrorists" overnight
  6. There are signs that more aid might reach Gaza today - 17 aid trucks have been seen lining up on the Egypt side of the border
  7. It's two weeks since Hamas launched its assault on Israel, killing more than 1,400 people. Palestinian officials in Gaza say more than 4,600 have been killed since then

This does not sound legitimate at all and fails the sniff test.

So a terrorist happens to be carrying a usb drive with chemical weapons plans on them while committing the October 7th attack?

This is way less believable than the Saddam has WMDs trope we as the american public fell for. We know how legit that ended up being.
