Yet another lie from the Netan-yayhoo gang.

 On the Turning Away, by Pink Floyd:

On the turning away

From the pale and downtrodden

And the words they say

Which we won’t understand

Don’t accept that what’s happening

Is just a case of others’ suffering

Or you’ll find that you’re joining in

The turning away

It’s a sin that somehow

Light is changing to shadow

And casting its shroud

Over all we have known

Unaware how the ranks have grown

Driven on by a heart of stone

We could find that we’re all alone

In the dream of the proud

On the wings of the night

As the daytime is stirring

Where the speechless unite in a silent accord

Using words, you will find, are strange

Mesmerised as they light the flame

Feel the new wind of change

On the wings of the night

No more turning away

From the weak and the weary

No more turning away

From the coldness inside

Just a world that we all must share

It’s not enough just to stand and stare

Is it only a dream that there’ll be

No more turning away?

Collateral damage?

House fascists support Naziyahoo and enable Putin to destroy a struggling democracy. From HCR (October 30th 2023):

“ After three weeks without a speaker, the House today tackled one of the key items on its agenda: providing additional funding for Israel and Ukraine. Immediately, the majority under Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) made it clear that they have every intention of pushing their extremist agenda. Despite pressure from Republican Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), they have split funding for Israel away from the funding for Ukraine and funding for humanitarian assistance for Ukraine, Israel, and Gaza that President Biden has requested.”

BTW, as usual the House fascists take good care of the 1% as HCR lays out simply and understandably in the same column.

Who does he think he’s fooling?

Israel provided warning and time for innocents to leave and told them to head south. Don’t recall anyone ever giving the innocents in Israel that option before they attack.

So knowing the bombs and rockets are coming, why do they stay?

Hamas started this sh*t. They have a right to wipe Hamas off the map.

Problem being that hamas is hiding behind the mother and her children

“War is not healthy for children and other living creatures”.

Israel provided warning and time for innocents to leave

absolute rubbish…

It it a tactic of Hamas to purposely hide behind civilian women and children so that public opinion will go against the ones who are retaliating in self defense. Obviously, it is quite effective.

Whether you’re shot by accident or shot on purpose the result is the same.

There is no nuance in the conversation. There is only “my side is right” and the other side is completely wrong. The cartoon depicts a reality. The safety of civilians should be paramount. But, it’s also true that Hamas launches 1000s of rockets at Israeli cities. Are they “less evil” because Israel has a better defense system? I’ve asked some of my left-leaning friends what would Hamas do if they had the access to Israel’s arsenal? I ask my right leaning friends why did Israel fund Hamas, to make a two-state solution less likely? How ‘bout a bit of introspection regarding "your side’s" role in the problem?

I am sickened by both side’s extremists who put politics and property over people.

Apparently, there is no Hebrew term for “collateral damage.”

Interesting how the folks who claim “Biden will fight Russia down to the last Ukrainian”, don’t see Hamas is doing exactly that with Palestinians.

Collateral damage. A time honored excuse.

Maybe hamas shouldn’t hide behind the skirts of women…

Does anyone know why Hamas would be stupid enough to start a war they cannot win? Do they hope the rest of the Arab community will come to their aid?

You are a Hamas enabler

What bothers me about the whole thing, is that the Jewish people have suffered so much in their history-there was far more than just the Holocaust.

Why are they now bringing the same pain that they suffered thru to the Palestinians?

There would be no Hamas if the Israelites had treated the Palestinians with more respect when they arrived, instead of starting idiotic holy wars.

The Israelites need to get their heads together and get over the childish biblical mythological nonsense. Grow up, people.

An interesting side note: After either WWI or WWII an American General (whose name I no longer remember) suggested that we should give the Isrealist Arizona in which to live. If we had listened to him trouble solved toot sweet.

“Nothing personal; we just want to steal your land. We learned that from the Americans….”

I don’t think that they want them to relax, they want them to turn on the individuals that caused this.

Just revenge. Making a bunch more terrorists out of who’s left standing.

If only Hamas did not keep them in and keep out aid.
