Israel has been nice in the past. They've agreed to the 2 state solution several times. I'm not sure Arab terror organizations understand niceness as anything other than weakness.

Unlike Hamas leadership, I don't know what an acceptable ratio of death is. Bare numbers don't tell the whole story, when you are talking about Hamas going house to house killing peaceful families, raping women in front of their families, and killing children in front of their parents, and killing parents in front of their children...as the main goal of their attack, not as unintended byproduct of combat. Remember also that they are fighting genocide, something they suffered not too long ago. I'm glad I didn't have to make the decision to do what Israel did, but I also have a hard time condemning Israel for their reaction.

Evil preaches tolerance until it is dominant, then it tries to silence good.

I’m concerned DJT’s Nobel Peace prize is in jeopardy because of Israel’s bad behavior. [NT] - jimbasil - 1:47pm 10/29/25 (21) [View All]
- For those keeping score at home, it is 68K to 700. - iairishcheeks - 3:32pm 10/29/25
  - That is the usual exchange rate - NedoftheHill - 5:42pm 10/29/25
    - Dear God, Hamas made me kill all of those innocent children. [NT] - iairishcheeks - 7:59pm 10/29/25
      - Hmmm. - NedoftheHill - 8:55pm 10/29/25
        What are the numbers? Hamas vs non-hamas? Women and children? [NT] - iairishcheeks - 9:29pm 10/29/25
        BTW, if you don't like basing morality on sheer numbers, I also mentioned another option: Intent. - NedoftheHill - 9:55pm 10/29/25
        Hamas is to blame for all of it, so we can set that issue aside [LINK] - iairishcheeks - 4:57am 10/30/25

        I don't think we should have killed 1M Iraqis in response to 9/11. - iairishcheeks - 3:57pm 10/30/25
        
        You said 68k Gazans. If allowed, Hamas would eliminate over 7 million jews in Israel. - NedoftheHill - 9:49pm 10/29/25
  - So no Nobel Peace prize for the guy who stopped 8 wars? [NT] - jimbasil - 4:20pm 10/29/25
    - The Trump Peace Prize will be the new gold standard of self-flatulation. [NT] - iairishcheeks - 4:28pm 10/29/25
- Jim thinks Jews defending themselves is bad behavior. - NedoftheHill - 2:13pm 10/29/25
  - It was mostly offense, not defense - iairishcheeks - 3:35pm 10/29/25
    - Retaliation is defense against the next attack. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 4:59pm 10/29/25
  - Neddie the nutty creates his own narrative without regard for truth or fact. You’re like a zit. [NT] - jimbasil - 2:25pm 10/29/25
    - Ha! As if "Israel's bad behavior" isn't you creating a false narrative. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 2:47pm 10/29/25
      - Because there really wasn’t an agreed to peace deal. - jimbasil - 2:51pm 10/29/25
        Got a link? [NT] - NedoftheHill - 4:59pm 10/29/25
        Don’t watch FOXTV, newsmax or any other extremist right wing media. [NT] - jimbasil - 5:17pm 10/29/25
