    One article so much misinformation. I know that you did not write the article, but you did chose to use that article to start the thread.

    First the Reuters makes it look like Israel started this situation. That is not true. It was started by Palestine Protesters clashing with the police that left 300 injured. It was then escalated when Hamas shot 7 rockets into Jerusalem, and announced that they were going to attack Tel Aviv. In return, Israel staged air attacks against Hamas positions in Gaza. That 13 story building was being used as a Hamas headquarters. Among the dead was 7 Hamas leaders. If Hamas was not hiding behind families, women and children, then they would be alive today. Their deaths are on Hamas, not Israel;

    Yet they control the only strip of land in the region where it is safe to be Jewish, Christian, Muslim, atheist, gay, non-Muslim, critical of religion/government, or have an opinion.

    I don't understand what you're trying to prove, even Satan can quote Scripture.

    Again, war is hell, **** happens. Most of those poor schlemiels were so sure they’d be back into their homes in a few days, they have left completely voluntarily and happily.

    Tough luck. But at least, they still have keys to their old ancestral homes.

    Why am I being so heartless? My heart is not big enough to accommodate both Israelis hiding from the rain of Iranian-built Palestinian -fired rockets, and Palestinians, launching those rockets.

    There.

    If you want to start at the very beginning, who are the Palestinians? They did not exist until Israel declared independence. The region was known as Palestine, but it never was self ruled. The people that lived in the area were known as Syrians.

    Arabs have manufactured the name Palestinians to give them a cause to fight Israel about.

    This latest confrontation began ahead of a case that was going to heard by the Israeli Supreme Court on Monday. The case dealt with the ownership of land that four families had lived on for decades. The land was originally owned by Jews until 1948. The Israelis had chosen the land to build a new settlement. It was believed that the Supreme Court, which does have the legal authority in Israel just as the US Supreme court does here, was about to evict these four families. (Conflicting articles exist claiming that the number of families are four, six and 12 families. Yet most articles written during the time between the protests and the Hamas attacks all say that it is four families.) The major escalation of the tensions began when the Israeli government changed the route of a protest march to steer it away from tension hot spots. The Israel Arabs decided to attack Israeli police and then barricade themselves at the Al Aqsa Mosque.

    So, this conflict happened when Palestinians disagreed with the laws in the country that they live, staged protests and it escalated from there to another Israel-Palestinian civil war. This is on the Palestinians. The Israeli Arabs do not even live in an area controlled by Hamas. They were looking to start a war because of the political vacuums in both the Israel and Palestinian Governments. This is the terrorist elements of Hamas asserting control over the weakened Hamas Leadership, and with an unclear picture in the Israeli Prime Minister picture.

    Schlemiel sleepy Joe whom you’ve undoubtedly helped to erect into the White House, is responsible for this escalation. With Trump in the White House, there was peace and prosperity and Palestinians knew their place and there was Abraham accord and everybody was happy.

    Look what the idiot whom you’ve erected into the White House has done in just 30 days! Everything is going to hell!

    Palestinians still have too much land. They should be deported east of Jordan river, where they belong.

    Ah yes, Jordanians once gave Palestinians safe harbor and regretted it.

    I wasn't posting to you... nor did I quote Scripture.

    I said Jesus gave the final solution in parable form in Luke 19.

    Aye .. you should know better than to label my good nature with the Blue Brush - for shame - Biden is a moron .who can't remember what he had for lunch .. . but those who think Trump did Peace with the Palestinians and prosperity for these folks is well .. I wont say as bad as Biden ..
    I didn't elect this moron into the White house - you did - by having flawed vision -- running with the sheep - like this continued BS in the region is helping us in some way .. off the rocker that would be .. Targeted assassination now the norm . can't really say much about Russia without big log in own eye now can we.

    The ME is a cluster buck - and while Trump walked into the tail end of a massive mess - he works for the same establishment "Elect" as Biden at the end of the day Establishment wonk .. through and through .. just one with a bit more attitude than heir Bidinsky - who just does what folks whisper in his ear these days - a little more often than Trump did.

    Jordan kicked out the Palestinians because they were supposed to fight to restore the holy Palestinian lands back to Islam. It was their fate in life. No Muslim nation would take them in for that reason, so they went to Lebanon a Christian nation and destroyed it.

    I feel bad for the Palestinians, they certainly deserve better, but if they were to get their right to return, then what about all the other refugees? Shouldn't they have the same right? Also how far back should people go for the right to return?

    The West, Russia, China, India--none of them are willing to put up with aggressive Islam. The latter is the only one where religion has much importance.
    That was then. Most people in the West are opposed to organized religion pushing dogma on society.
    The evidence for your "Christ" is what?

    Christians have historically been no better about how they treat non-believers. They dominated the hell out of the Americas after dominating the hell out of Europe and trying to dominate Jerusalem in the Crusades, for instance.

    Islam is not more of a problem by itself than Christianity, though. Muslims outside of Muslim-majority countries don't try to dominate anyone any more than any other religious minority. Methinks you like to attack Islam because, as a Christian, it offends and frightens you. On top of that, we've seen quite a lot of propaganda online about how bad Islam is. The Obama years in particular were full of it, but it's been an issue ever since 9/11, really.

    "Israel" tries to mimic western countries because they need their support.
    Hamas is trying to break this link by forcing the Zionists to show their true colors.

    So what? Israelis aren't mass murderers and everyone knows it.
    Why are you raising the issue?
    Israel is using collective punishment and should be careful how and when applied.
    Once again, Hamas is being reminded the world won't pressure Israel as long as Palestinians are attacking Israeli civilians.
    You made some intemperate remarks about Palestinians being "subhuman."
    Of course, I don't excuse terrorism. And you went to far with the "subhuman" stuff.

    Reckless. Unnecessary. Provocative without purpose. Beside the point. Potentially self-destructive.

    Palestinians started it, it's the Palestinians who just cancelled an election and are using this to drum up support and look tough compared to Hamas.

    Why don't you explain why they had to leave their homes? Why don't you tell us what happened to those who decided to stay?
