Chuck Schumer supports Israel because he visited a year ago? Chuck Schumer in July 2024: "Schumer points to ‘serious disagreements’ as reason for not shaking Netanyahu’s hand"

Kamala supports Israel? Kamala skips Netanyahu's speech, instead she was in Indianapolis at that time to speak at the Zeta Phi Beta Soriority Inc. national convention.

Biden supports Israel.? Biden Blames Bibi After Hostages Are Murdered by Hamas. Says Neganyahu needs to do more (not terrorists have to do more?)

Public outrage for Israili reaction for kidnaping and the inevitable Gaza civilian casualties only incourages militaries to engage in future kidnapings and to hide behind civilians. Is this what you want?

Even the most brutal wars, like the German-Russian front in WWII, did not engage in said activity on a large scale. Why not? Because they knew such actions would not inhibit the enemy.

Do you think the members of Western Civilization would resort to kidnaping and using civilian shields?

Name the civilized Western nations who get bombed daily, for months on end.

In WW I, both the Gremans and the French fought bitterly with high casualties on both sides. In WW II, Britian was subject to intense bombing for a short period and Germany was subject to intense bombing for a long period. None of the participants resorted to kidnapping on a large scale or used civilians as a shield.

Richard and Marcia, you don't seem to realize that you're on the same side of this issue. That's the problem talking only in abstractions.

I was thinking the same thing.

And not one word about the thousands of Palestinians slaughtered over the past year. Nobody ever writes about both sides of the issue. Each writer cherry-picks the injustices done against one side , and ignores the injustices done against the other. No wonder this issue hasn't ever been resolved.

That's all our local rag presents. The word "terrorist" seemingly doesn't exist any more.

That's my complaint. Each writer presents only one side of the story. I'd like to see stories which denounce the abuses and atrocities on both sides. (And maybe even suggest some solutions?) That is what Harris is trying to do. I just finish a long facebook debate with someone who claims that Harris never does anything for the Palestinian side. And then I come over here, and all you talk about is how biased she is in favor of the Palestinians.

Are you referring to me? I was talking about the media, not Harris.

From your post above. No mention of the media here: "Kamala supports Israel? Kamala skips Netanyahu's speech, instead she was in Indianapolis at that time to speak at the Zeta Phi Beta Soriority Inc. national convention.
