Israeli Cabinet ministers approved the plan in an early morning vote, hours after the Israeli military chief said the army was calling up tens of thousands of reserve soldiers.
The United Nations and major groups currently running aid operations in Gaza, briefed by Israel on the plans, said they would not cooperate with the plans.

As if this is a surprise to anyone but the Palestinian terrorists who orchestrated the October 7th attacks targeting, raping, and murdering 1,200 Israeli civilians.
Because they thought that they would be able to provoke a strong reaction from Israel and then force the Dems to abandon Israel. Which the Dems sort of did. (As if 8 million nuclear-armed Jews are going anywhere.)
But the pro-Hamas folks also screwed up our country enough with their college occupations, shutting down bridges, highways, and airports, that they helped the GOP win the presidency. And now they have no leverage at all, since the Dems are completely powerless and the GOP would be perfectly OK with Israel taking a page out of the Palestinian's book and pushing the Palestinians into the sea.
Arab and Muslim voters helped deliver Michigan to Trump. They're not all happy so farStrange how the pro-Hamas protesters have been mum since they helped elect Trump to office. Almost like they were clueless dupes being exploited by foreign entities to help the GOP win.

I abhor religious wars. They are so shameful to say the least.

But not a peep when the Palestinians swear to eradicate the infidels and complete the Muslim Conquest that they started over a thousand years ago?

#4: Hi Laura: Ukraine and Russia are fighting a "war." Pakistan and India may soon be in a "war" if cooler heads don't prevail. The Palestinians have no army to fight back with. What we are eye-witnessing is not a "war" but vicious ethnic cleansing.
BTW: I can't recall ever reading about a "religious war" on the Asian landmass. China had warlords, Japan had shogunates, etc, but the Asians never fought a war over religion. This is a uniquely Christian concept.

LOL! C0RI0LANUS is nothing if not consistent in his willful blindness of Muslims slaughtering unbelievers:
Early Muslim conquests
The early Muslim conquests or early Islamic conquests also known as the Arab conquests, were initiated in the 7th century by Muhammad, the founder of Islam. He established the first Islamic state in Medina, Arabia that expanded rapidly under the Rashidun Caliphate and the Umayyad Caliphate, culminating in Muslim rule being established on three continents (Asia, Africa, and Europe) over the next century.

Terrorized, maimed and hopeless Palestinian children starving to death makes zero impact on you.

Sure I care, but children often pay the price for the bad decisions of their parents. And you honestly think Palestinians would be treating Jews any better if they stopped defending themselves?
Don't start a fight you can't finish. And don't target 1,200 civilians for rape and murder and expect my sympathy.
I bet the Oslo Accords look pretty good to many Palestinians right about now, even though they roundly rejected it when it counted. Or the first offer of statehood when the British offered 80% of what is now Israel. But the Palestinians didn't want it, because they preferred not to share, despite the fact that they lacked the wherewithal to keep the land that they stole from the Jews (who took it from someone else, yada yada yada ...).
How Palestine rejected offer to have its own state 5 times in the past

About 25% of Israel is Arab/Muslim with full rights of citizenship. And far more rights than they would enjoy in any of the neighboring Arab nations. I bet we can guess how many Jews would be permitted to even be alive under Palestinian rule.
Maybe the Palestinians need to grow up, put on their big boy pants, and learn to accept defeat. And coexist with the people who have kicked their butts repeatedly, but refrained from genociding them, unlike what the Palestinians would do to the Jews if the shoe were on the other foot.
The Shia Houthis are retaliating in defense of the Sunni Palestinians who are being slaughtered in Gaza. Watch the video of Israelis at Ben Gurion Airport terrified by a missile strike which penetrated their "Iron Dome" air defense system. Gee, what have Palestinians felt for the past several decades?

Yup, and all paid for by the hardworking American taxpayer: cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net
Let's just agree, all abrahamic religions are a blight on humanity.

Maybe the Palestinians should have accepted those statehood offers. But then they would have had to accept Israel's right to exist.
So the Palestinians repeatedly lost the wars that they started (to take back the land which they stole from others) and now they cry that they are the victims. And lament the incidental loss of Palestinian lives despite the fact that the Palestinians deliberately target civilians for rape and murder as their M.O. So much hypocrisy, and the world goes along with it.
