mets, you don't see the logical flaws in absolving Israel of all civilian casualties because "other countries give them no place to escape to"

I don't know what you are saying. What I am saying is that if a tiny asteroid gets through the atmosphere and lands on Trumps head it significantly increases the chances that someone has the ability to control asteroids. You seemed to be saying that it doesn't.

"Ahmed Abu Zeid, a spokesman for Egypt’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, pinned the blame on “Israel’s targeted attacks & refusal of aid entry” "

"The United Nations has offered up their inspectors, who have conducted similar checks on aid entering northwest Syria. But a key sticking point has been that the Israelis want “direct eyes” on the crossing"

Right now israel is blocking some trucks in

But it is Egypt that is not allowing people to leave through the rafah border

The hundreds of millions of Muslims (and some far left Westerners) who have been flooding the streets chanting "Death to the Jews" and "From the River to the Sea..." would be understandably very aggrieved if their leaders tried to make peace with Jews now.

The size of recent protests would suggest this is not the case. There has been a big shift in the perception of Hamas in the past 10-15 years. Nowadays they are viewed as much Iranian lackeys as Arabic resistance.

Did you notice that I bolded one line and it wasn't the one about Egypt not letting people out?

Victor's not an antisemite. There are lots of antisemites and lots of the anti-Israel stuff in the world is anti-Semitic, but stop making that thing true where someone gets called anti-Semitic *just* because they criticize Israel.

Egypt generally controls that border. At this time Israel is blocking some trucks from coming in. My point was israel would be okay with people leaving Gaza. They are not the ones preventing that

Correct. They seem to be trying to expel people. They are restricting aid though...partially controlling the border, and being somewhere near the border. Did you notice how I bolded that one line? Do you understand how that works?

It's offensive, but still, Victor's not an antisemite. It's very easy to understand his position on Israel from his politics generally.

I like Victor and have no obligation to be fair to you in particular.

Aren't you a Trumpstain? Talk about antisemites.

Gets my goat that some Jews pal around with these rwnj Republicans and Jew hating evangelicals just because they support Israel so much. They'd be happy to expel you from the US and send you to Jew country the same as some people think the Palestinians should be expelled to live in an Arab country.

If i did get expelled at least i would have Israel to go to. Why will nobody accept the Palestinians?

If you don't want to be called a holocaust denier you should probably stop saying Ukrainians who volunteered for the Nazis and served as concentration camp guards were the same as Jewish concentration camp inmates forced to punish other prisoners.

Amazing statement from Turkish President Erdogan.
Paraphrasing, ' Hamas is a liberation group fighting to protect the people of Gaza'.
