"Ethnic cleansing isn't an act of peace."

Aren't you part of the "From the River to the Sea" crowd?

That's literally a call to arms in support of genocide.

FWIW, I don't think it will work out. Hamas can agree to something, the PA can agree to something, but at the end of the day, Palestinians don't want peace with Israel. They want to destroy it.

In 2024, 65% of Palestinians opposed a two-state solution.

63% support the continuation of confrontation and intifada.

62% believe the PA should be dissolved.

67% support Hamas's actions on 10/7. In the west bank, it's 73%.

Palestinians have spent the last eight decades being indoctrinated into a belief that something was taken from them. That Palestine has some unique right to exist while Israel does not. I don't think there will be a state of Palestine until Palestinians care more about creating their own state than they do about destroying Israel.

"Stating the obvious that you idiot cheerleaders will refuse to see isn't "spin."

You're not a cheerleader of some sort of peace???? That's odd.

I would have thought pretty much everyone would be hoping this works out.

"Innocent civilians have become targets of ICE."

OK, I'll bite.

Link?

"Targets of what?"

People like you.

Zed has stated several times that ICE Officers are fair game.

"Like Trump deporting protesters against ethnic cleansing in Palestine?"

Like when Trump deported protesters advocating for ethnic cleansing of the Jews who currently reside in the region sometimes referred to as Palestine?

I tell ya, this is the golden years of Islamism. If ISIS is smart, they're taking notes.

Never before has the west looked so favorably on Islamism, or been so tolerant of ethnic cleansing in the name of the religion.

"You're saying everywhere ICE goes is a riot?"

ICE Officers have become targets. You never know when some whack-job protester is going to cross the line and attempt to use violence.

"So you support a senile maniac making war on the American people because his wittle feelings are hurt. Got it."

I'm not sure what you're referencing. ICE is simply enforcing policy. If there is a war, it's a war defending US policy against those who would defy it. No different than any other Federal Law Enforcement agency.

"Like all MAGA, ICE are nothing but fascist cowards."

Has that always been the case? Even when Obama was the president?

Remember, between 2009 and 2017, they were enforcing his immigration and customs policies.

"Which pictures do you have in mind?"

Google "Portland Riot 2020."

It's all right there at your fingertips.

Much better than supporting protesters being anonymous. Especially when some are rioting.

You do remember that, prior to the COVID catastrophe, many areas prohibited the wearing of masks in public.

"You have no problems with police being anonymous."

I don't really care. The way I see it, it's no different than when US aviators at overseas bases used to cover their faces and remove any sort of identifying features. Let you wind up on an ISIS or Al-qaeda hit list, which many of my friends and co-workers did.

"Yes."

Link?

"Who would know?"

12. Or was 12.

Infants and young children born to mothers who were in the country illegally.

"The Israelis went far beyond even revenge on this thing."

I don't know what Israel's objective was, but presumably it was the unconditional surrender of Hamas.

Remember what the US did to Japan, when Japan refused to surrender?

Other than the 1200 Jews on 10/7, you mean.

Remember how this whole thing started.

"For the people of Gaza I hope this deal lasts."

Why for the people of Gaza?

Why not for everyone? Why not for the world?

"So why aren't other police masked?"

I guess you've never seen pictures of Portland Police during the 2020 riots, have you?

"They raid citizens homes without a warrant."

Really?

They just randomly bust into the houses of US citizens?

How many US citizens have been deported?

"The argument has been laid out clearly above."

Have you always been anti-ICE, or is this a new thing?

A better question is have you always been against the US having an immigration policy?

"So they can shoot pastors in the head with pepper balls?"

Pastors, truck drivers, NFL players, mobsters, or anyone else who interferes with their assigned missions.

"It's a question of community protection."

Protecting whom?

Whom is at risk from ICE.

When I go back to the US, ICE is the least of my worries.

They are federal agents doing the work of the federal government. They are enforcing federal policy. If you don't like the policy, don't blame ICE, blame the people who creates the policy.

The anti-ICE stance is just baffling to me. Would it better if the agency was simply ignoring US policy?

"What do you progressives think about this? I just want to see how you guys will spin this."

I think you got your answer.
