“The war?” says Tucholsky’s diplomat, “I cannot find it to be so bad! The death of one man: this is a catastrophe. Hundreds of thousands of deaths: that is a statistic!”
You’d think that if groups of people had fought over territory for millennia that it would be the most fertile desirable land on the planet. Instead, they been convinced by their religions that fighting for that particular piece of virtual desert is required of them. There are vast regions of good land, even more so right after WWll where an Israeli homeland could have been established with much less effort and without the threat of war into the unforeseen future.
Gorrell got the headline wrong on the second panel. It should read Israel attacks innocent Palestinians. Over ten dead Palestinian civilians, mostly women and children, for every Israeli killed by Hamas! The Israelis say they have killed some Hamas fighters, but they won’t give a number because it’s pitifully few.
Actually, Bob, the world was not silent at the 10/7 attack. There were messages of sympathy, horror and shock from all quarters. However, the world is equally shocked and horrified by Israel’s retaliation.
Last night pro Palestinians started a riot at DNC Headquarters demanding a ceasefire in the War in Israel. They have lost their minds and need to understand Hamas wants Israel and the Jewish people eliminated. They’re fighting for their survival as a nation and Hamas will not honor a ceasefire and attack Israel again when they get the chance
You must be blissful. Because my gosh, the ignorance runs deep. I don’t support terrorism OR genocide. I don’t know why that concept is so difficult for conservatives to grasp. Oh, yeah I do. They haven’t had it force fed to them by RWNJ media.
NO, it’s NOT the Hamas terrorists that we’re getting upset about getting killed. It’s the fact that for every Hamas lowlife that dies, fifty civilians are killed at the same time. The solution? I don’t know. Hamas planned it this way. They are monsters. But if you’re not upset at cutting power to hospitals and letting premature babies die, you’re also a monster. There seems to be a whole lot of “anything not compulsory is forbidden” logic going on around here, particularly from Mr Gorrell.
somewhere in the middle is the truth….( many, many have condemned hamas…and not the Palestinian people…and this is not the first time Israel has killed many non-combatants while trying to clean out terrorists…) war is always horrible…vicious….innocent do dies…but the numbers of innocents dying on both sides is staggering…
I saw and continue to see cries of ‘terrorism’, ‘murder’, ‘war crimes’, kidnapping and the rest about Hamas. There was no silence of cover up of what was done.
No question Hamas is a terrorist group that committed an atrocious attack on Israeli civilians and must be destroyed BUT should it be at the cost of killing a reported mostly innocent 12,000 Gaza civilians and endangering the lives of newly born babies?

This is moronic, written by a tone-deaf $hithead who chooses to block out what he doesn’t want to hear. You’re disgusting, Gorrell.

What Hamas did was a criminal terrorist act. What Israel is doing ventured on to thin ice when the body count went over 2,500.

A small improvement to the toon, would be the sound of crickets around the planet in the first panel. Otherwise great toon Mr. Gorrell.

That’s odd; Mr Gorrell must have dozed off during the international outcry of horror, shock, and disgust after the Hamas terrorist attack.

Sounds pretty close to me. Except for the march in Washington D.C. 290, thousands strong supporting Israel.

I’ve found Israelis to be terrible neighbors. Very unpleasant. And I am Jewish, the religion. Israel is a country. Not the same thing.
