W. Niederhut Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Israel hasn't taken any hostages, as Matt points out. Instead, they've simply opted to bury Palestinian bodies under piles of rubble. Thousands of bodies lie buried in rubble in Gaza. Families dig to retrieve them, often by hand apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-gaza-buried-rubble-airstrikes-89c0e8d0934d573d94d2fbfeba44d933 Updated 1:45 PM EST, November 17, 2023 DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — The wreckage goes on for block after devastated block. The smell is sickening. Every day, hundreds of people claw through tons of rubble with shovels and iron bars and their bare hands. They are looking for the bodies of their children. Their parents. Their neighbors. All of them killed in Israeli missile strikes. The corpses are there, somewhere in the endless acres of destruction. More than five weeks into Israel’s war against Hamas, some streets are more like graveyards. Officials in Gaza say they don’t have the equipment, manpower or fuel to search properly for the living, let alone the dead. Israel says its strikes target fighters and the infrastructure of Hamas, the militant group behind the deadly Oct. 7 attack that killed about 1,200 people in Israel. Hamas often operates in residential areas, and Israel accuses it of using the civilian population as human shields, though it does not explain specific targeting reasons for most strikes.

Kirk Gallaway Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Yeah that makes a lot of sense! Only the Office of the Presidency is exempt from guilt for leading an insurrection! Other countries have to think we're crazy. to design a legal loophole so only the most powerful people can also be the most destructive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niederhut said: Netanyahu declares a Holy War of Annihilation on Civilians of Gaza, Citing the Bible (juancole.com) I'm pretty sure that the title of that article is a lie. Netanyahu hasn't declared a war on the civilians of Gaza... he has declared a war on Hamas. Hamas just happens to live and operate in Gaza. They use the civilians there as human shields. 18 hours ago, W. Niederhut said: 2) In his recent criticism of Obama, Bill Maher inaccurately referred to Israel's serious war crimes in Gaza as "collateral damage." I agree with Bill Maher. It's an exceedingly sad state of affairs in Gaza, with all the deaths and suffering going on. In retrospect, something should have been done years ago to eradicate Hamas from Gaza. And the Palestinians should have been given U.S. aid decades ago. (Not to mention aid from other rich nations, and from Arab countries.) But it's too late now and we are left with Israel experiencing their 911 equivalent and responding to it by declaring war on Hamas. My hope is that once this is over, the U.S. and other countries will rebuild Gaza and then do everything possible to imperilment the two state solution.

Yes, that's a fair assessment of the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
