  - Should we consider that in asshole vs asshole war, that asshole.Trump is the one calling for peace? - iairishcheeks - 1:32am 7/30/25
    - Yes. But calling for ethnic cleansing does not help. - Chris94 - 8:27am 7/30/25

      - Thank you Lt Calley. [NT] - conorlarkin - 3:59pm 7/29/25
        Uncalled for. Everything und67 said was true. [NT] - Hensou - 4:32pm 7/29/25
        67’s post clearly suggests that the suffering and starvation is justified. - conorlarkin - 4:37pm 7/29/25
        it most certainly does not infer anything of the kind. - und67 - 8:02pm 7/29/25
        This thread addresses the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. - conorlarkin - 9:15pm 7/29/25
        october 7th was cited because it is the root cause of the humanitarian crisis. - und67 - 8:01am 7/30/25
        
        You think Hamas is irrelevant to this crisis? - Hensou - 1:42am 7/30/25
        Who here has ever suggested that Hamas is not at the core of crisis? - conorlarkin - 8:29am 7/30/25
        "What is the relevance to the immediate humanitarian crisis?" - Hensou - 10:22am 7/30/25

        He does not. Your inference is absurd. [NT] - Hensou - 4:44pm 7/29/25
        
        Obviously he thinks the Palestinians deserve everything Israel gives rhem - Chris94 - 4:39pm 7/29/25
        It’s a shit sandwich no matter how you look at it… - Domer From Hell - 4:56pm 7/29/25
        No one should ever have anything good to say about Hamas - Chris94 - 5:09pm 7/29/25
        Disagree regarding your claimed recklessness… - Domer From Hell - 8:00pm 7/29/25
        
        Where does he explicitly state that? In your imagination? [NT] - Hensou - 4:46pm 7/29/25
        Where does he explicitly state anything different? - Chris94 - 4:49pm 7/29/25
        Being argumentative is putting your words in his mouth. - Hensou - 4:55pm 7/29/25
    - Perhaps you should realize that the USA is not at War. - Hensou - 3:20pm 7/29/25
      - Perhaps I simply recall every other US President playing an active role in Israel Palestine conflict [NT] [IMAGE] - conorlarkin - 3:33pm 7/29/25
        The current conflict began under Biden's watch. He was asleep at the wheel of Peace. - Hensou - 3:38pm 7/29/25
        Biden failed to resolve the war, in large part because Netanyahu sabotaged any peace efforts. - conorlarkin - 3:57pm 7/29/25
        You had me at Biden failed. [NT] - Hensou - 4:30pm 7/29/25
