Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

Israel "most likely" killed Hamas leader Mohammed Sinwar in Gaza, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday. Sinwar was among those targeted last Tuesday by Israeli strikes on a Gaza hospital in the city of Khan Younis. Israel claimed that Sinwar was hiding in an underground bunker.

Cue the Useful Idiot outrage that Israel would dare to attack the ground next to a hospital.

One that coincidentally Hamas had accidentally buried a tunnel under and that their leader was using to take a nap. Which definitely isn't a Palestinian war crime.

Good stuff man! Remember when you posted that article about the hospital attack, trying to make it look like Israel was targeting a hospital for the sake of killing Palestinian civilians. Instead of being a precision attack aimed at the war criminal Palestinians using a hospital full of civilians to shield a military target?

Israel Celebrates Holiday By Killing 60 Palestinians

As if Israelis have adopted the civilian -murdering ethos of the Palestians.

I look forward to your next pro-Hamas propoganda post. Maybe try to get better talking points from your Hamas handlers.

Not all Israelis.
Not all Jews.

Just the Zionists.

Israelis have killed 30 Palestinians, for every Israeli killed by a Palestinian.

So, Israel has not only adopted the civilian murdering ethos of the Palestinians, they have embraced and extended it. With the goal of extinguishing the Palestinians.

Probably hiding out with the Israeli hostages. Guess he didn't realize no amount of Israeli civilian deaths will deter IDF from ethnically cleansing Palestine.

In fact, no amount of IDF soldier deaths will deter IDF from ethnically cleansing Palestine. Something like 25% of IDF casualties are friendly fire. With a self-own ratio like that, you can imagine how indiscriminately IDF is killing civilians.

I'm on neither side, but I generally root for an underdog when there is no moral side.

Well, one of those sides lets 25% of their population who practice a different religion than the majority exist in peace with full rights of citizenship, and more rights than they would enjoy anywhere else in the Arab world.

The other would have no qualms, if left to their own devices, about eliminating every infidel that they could lay their hands on. Including many of the Useful Idiots who march in protests for that side.

Personally, I root for the folks who are less likely to force their religion upon me and murder me and my family while shouting "Aloha Snackbar!" with all their might. But I'm funny that way. Count me on Team-Not ISIS.

Just an anti Islamc Bigot... Being Bigoted.

Israel was built on Murder and Theft. They claim to have rightful title to Palestine but their only currency is Violence.

Israel is a parasite on the US. Like a parasitoid wasp with a much larger caterpillar.

---- Israel.

And ---- you too.

Israel IS pretty bad... almost as bad as Russia.

Not quite, though. Hamas is just a try-hard evil. Vlad is the King of Evil; him and Prince Donald.

Donald trump is the enemy. American fascism is the issue that affects me and my kids' future the most. And on top of the indiscriminate killing, Israel also aligned themselves with trump. Their brutality in palestine may have been done as a favor to split the left and re elect trump. BOTH countries run by corrupt men who had to get elected to stay out of jail and are now crippling the justice system to give themselves more power. Muslim extremists are bad too. But it's the israeli and american fascists that are ruining life where I live. It's not muslims who have made america unrecognizable from how it was pre fox news.

The Palestinians' attack was timed about a year before the election to get maximum effect before voters cast their ballots. Notice how the useful idiots stopped their pro-Hamas protests on campuses, highways, bridges, airports, etc. after Trump won? The election that Muslims bragged about helping him win. I guess Palestine must be free, since barely a peep can be heard nowadays.

Putin must laugh himself to sleep on how easy Americans are to manipulate, as he suppresses the vote election after election.

Buttery Males, Free Palestine. It's all the same nonsense that means nothing, changes nothing, but steals elections from Dems to hand power to the GOP.

Which points to the fact that the REAL issue is RUSSIA not hamas. And the trump/republicans are an arm of russia.

It can be both.

Hamas had their own objectives that complemented Russia and Iran's goals. Hamas wouldn't have pulled the trigger on October 7th without Russia/Iran's orders/permission, but that doesn't relieve the Pro-Hamas Muslims of their own responsibility for the natural results of their actions.

And if you don't think they'll go for a repeat next chance they get to hold sway over a Dem in power, I certainly won't be able to convince you otherwise. But they will, and it will cost the Dems either way they come out on it, for being too hard on the Palestinians (by the small but vocal pro-Hamas community), or for being terrorist sympathizers (by the vast majority of Americans that are anti-Hamas/Muslim).

Lots of people responsible for the election results, from pro-Trans insisting on biological males participating in women's sport and alienating the majority of Americans, to pro-Hamas and Muslims making Dems look like useless idiots.

I blame them all, just like Jill Stein/Ralph Nader voters don't get off scot-free because they are easily-duped fools taken advantage of by others.

And that's not even getting into the fact of what the Muslims would do to me, my nation, and those I care about if they were free to enact their policies like they have in other countries where they hold control. Best of luck being an atheist, talking religion, letting your woman drive/hold a job, dress how they choose, etc. in many of those nations.

Here's an example:
Sharia in the USA: Christians Jailed for Preaching to Muslims - Dearborn, MI Officials Sued
Sharia law makes it a crime to preach the Gospel to Muslims.
www.thomasmore.org

Is there more to the story? Probably, but I have no doubt that some devout Muslims can be problematic to the American way of life if they had the opportunity.

I care about the religious extremists that have seized control of MY country, not the religious extremists who have been screwing up the desert on the other side of the world for thousands of years.

Morally speaking, I know which one side is clearly more troubling for me. You differ.

And then you said:

The Muslims helped cost Dems the election by throw in with the other set of extremists. And would do it again. In the process helping making our nation unrecognizable.

Not caring about the extremists on the other side of the world is good way of coming across as sympathizing with terrorists, which will likely cost Dems elections. So Dems need to figure out how to thread that needle, since the party is a herd of cats while Republicans come across as strong and united.

Personally, I think that Dems calling it how it is and publicly hammering on Palestinian war crimes would be a good way of threading that needle, since it would show them to be rational, resolute, and effective leaders. Instead of just ineffectual, clueless idiots.

It's the religious fanatic European colonists who decided to embark on a 19th century war of territorial conquest and ethnic cleansing, in the middle of the 20th century.

They were a century too late.

In another century they will have finished the job and expanded to occupy all of Eretz Yisrael.

Frankly I don't quite see what they think they get out of designing a state to be permanently at war. Seems very antiquated for the world we're living in. Doesn't really feel like a viable long term approach.

Peace in the Middle East will never come to fruition with Hamass cave dwellers running roughshod over the people of Gaza. Nor, will Israel ever be secure as long as that fascist is leading them. The state of Israel needs to smack down the ultra orthodox Jews, who start these wars by picking on the peaceful neighbors in Israel while they cowardly refuse to serve in the army to fight the wars they help start.
