Waiting for the “Jewish space weather lasers”
rumors to start.
The Fact those idiots across the colleges support these animals is upsetting as hellI visited Nahal Oz, one of the locations hit by Hamas on Oct 7th, briefly last year when I was on our annual Yale/West Point trip to Israel and Palestine. Between that, and having two teenage-ish daughters, this was a particularly difficult read.
Horrifying new footage shows Hamas kidnappers threatening women
I think the answer is yes, but there is a big "BUT."Question . . . (Genuine, no sarcasm)
Can you support the Palestinian people without being in support of Hammas?
The primary issue with the Palestinians is that they, currently, do not want a lasting peace with Israel, period. And the primary victims of this ethno-nationalism are the Palestinian children.
I think the answer is yes, but there is a big "BUT."
A recent poll showed that 71% of polled Palestinians think that Hamas attacking Israel on 10/7 was the correct thing to do. That's an issue that needs some heavy "de-nazi-fication" post WW2 treatment.
And, for the record, Fatah isn't that much better than Hamas and needs the same treatment.

Peace will come to Israel and the Palestinians when the Palestinians love their own children more than they hate the Israeli's.
Concur with one exception... rather than saying "yes, but...", I'd frame it as "mostly, no, but..."I think the answer is yes, but there is a big "BUT."

"And even then, you can't kill an idea."
This seems to be a very slippery slope. The invasion of Iraq could easily earn the US, and Bush Jr, an indictment. Hell all of us could be guilty of something.With the ICC decision I am now officially fascinated. Correct me here but I think it was Bush jnr. Who didn’t sign up as the rationale was not to put US personnel in the dock. Looks like the right call.
As for the Court itself, I don’t know how relevant it is anymore. As Israel is a non-signatory would they recognize the jurisdiction of the court?
Exactly. That’s why Pres Bush said “we’re not signing on to this, and if you take any of our people, we will come get them.” AKA Hague Invasion Act.This seems to be a very slippery slope.

Without the common united hatred for Israel by the surrounding Arab countries and current Tribes that make up "Palestine", they would probably kill each other.
