Like Bob and jarnon, I happen to be one of "their people." So it's especially upsetting for me to see Netanyahu using this war as a political tool to boost the standing of his party and to take an attitude that's liable to make even more enemies for Israel and lead to even more of a spike in worldwide anti-semitism. And that's something that does affect me. The US was there for Israel when Iran launched its major attack a couple of weeks ago. And they're there for Israel with the passage of the aid package. But we shouldn't turn a blind eye to a government that doesn't seem to have any plan for resolving this war. My guess is that a lot of Hamas fighters, especially the higher ups, have already headed for the hills in other countries. And they'll return, or others just like them will return once things have died down until the next time.flockofseagulls104 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2024 9:06 pmYou have no right to judge how Israel or Netanyahu is waging this war. Especially based on their remembrance of what was done to their people a mere 75 years ago.
And it's ironic you talk about what would happen if my daughter were taken. Because the people whose sons and daughters were taken are among those most upset with how little Netanyahu is doing to get the hostages back.
