It’s a defense of Hamas to say you’re @pro-Palestinian,” to label Israelis “occupiers” or to use use rhetoric like “genocide,” “ethnic cleaning.” “apartheid.” This rhetoric fans the flame of anger and hatred. Biden is trying to calm the situation, provide humanitarian aid to 1/2

Hamas should provide water, power and food for Gaza. They get money from Qatar and other places.
Why is Cori Bush riding hard for Palestinians? They imprison same gender sexual activity up to 10 years and anti-equality. I thought homophobic misogynists were called fascists?

What is Israel supposed to do? Hamas murdered thousands of their people. Their goal is to eliminate Jews from the earth. Anyone curious as to why no Arab neighbors want the refugees from Gaza?? They elected Hamas. Israel must protect themselves

Why not call Hamas attacks a power move? It was an attack on festival goers & people peacefully at home? Hamas wanted to gain power, kill for it, gain the world’s attention & hold them hostage. It was an act of aggression & war crimes. A ceasefire with Hamas still in place? No.

Hasan asked her would she accept that a ceasefire would leave Hamas in place as a cost of saving lives in Gaza. She answered “take a pause.” Did Hamas take a pause?

The ceasefire poll sampled only 1329 of likely voters with a rather broad question. It should have been a larger sample size with a simple question.
NEW POLL: 66% of likely voters agree that the U.S. should call for a ceasefire and de-escalation of violence in Gaza to prevent civilian deaths. dataforprogress.org/blog/202…

It’s called war .. war is violent and indiscriminate. Good Lord what kind of snowflakes are making it into Congress these days. AOC would’ve been useless or worse .. disruptive .. as a government official in WWII. Allies won by being brutal which was unfortunately necessary 🤷🏻‍♀️

The Hamas savages raped women and children with such force they broke their pelvic bones. Imagine this being your daughter or mother or grandmother?
