  1.  @mcb00  This is not the case.

  3.  @brandonllwyd  The fatalities are only disproportionate because Lebanon does not have as good a missile defense structure. If Israel was similarly "offense only," then far more people would have died there over the last year than in Lebanon. You can't let someone just keep taking shots at you because you have a bullet proof vest on.

  4.  @GlenAllen76  Lebanon lost that territory when they attacked Israel in the 60s. It is no longer theirs.

  5. If you want any of those things in America, you should vote Harris.

  6. That sounds propagandish.

  7.  @maxrinehart4177  They should at least take their country back from Hezbollah if they want to live in a safe country.

  8.  @mcb00  They were not.

  9.  @bbcpfghs  But it was self defense, because Lebanon attacked Israel first. You can't blame the victim here.

  10.  @bbcpfghs  They fired rockets across the Lebanese border into Israel. Of course Lebanon would claim that land they lost in a war decades ago still belongs to them, that's the same excuse Germany used, but I'm sure we're all smarter than to buy that.

  11.  @mcb00  If there were no Hezbollah there, then Israel did not attack it.

  13. The election system is updated with every election. There are constant improvements to how it works, or in some cases steps back if it's working too efficiently for Republicans to accept.

  14. she might win by a landslide, but it's likely at least some of the states will be close.

  15. Yeah, this is why so many of Trump's lawyers get disbarred.

  16. It's because Republicans in those states passed laws that made it harder for votes to be counted.

  17. It's funny that Republicans consider "the people vote, and their votes get counted." to be "cheating."

  18. The police that actively support and coordinate with these groups are trash and should be removed from the force, but I can't criticize police for not actively confronting them either, since in most cases they do have a tacit right to be there and to be armed, and confronting them only increases the odds that violence will escalate and that people will be hurt. That aspect is not the fault of police, it is the fault of local laws that allow open carrying of firearms during protests, and the fault of SCOTUS that seems increasingly wiling to condone such practices.

  19. Yeah, Trump is incapable of accepting it when voters don't like him.

  20.  Kroh13  Yes, we know what happened. Biden won.

  21.  @kaischmidt8030  That's not how elections work. Trump tried, but failed.

  23. Headline: "Liberals are hypocrites!" Actual story of the video: "Liberals do much better than Republicans, but are not quite perfect. How dare they?!"

  24. What is the number of people killed during peaceful protests?
    1
  25. So basically, not all that many people died during the protests relative to how many people die under general circumstances (roughly 40 people are murdered using a gun every day), and those that did die mostly died to someone with a gun, and in many cases were either killed by one of these armed "counter protesters" or were one of those "counter protesters" themselves?

  26.  @XxSTGgamingxX  I read the things you posted. The numbers added up to a drop in the bucket when compared to the normal amount of people who die each day from gun violence, so it's really not a big deal. And the deaths that did occur mostly had to do with the people who came armed to the protests, either being shot by police or shooting at protesters. Maybe you should read what you posted.

  27.  @XxSTGgamingxX  You said it was 43 victims, over like six months of protests. over 40 people die EVERY DAY to guns alone under normal circumstances, not even counting other types of violent crime. So while these specific areas might have seen an uptick in violence, in the grand scheme of things it's not remotely a big deal. A "100% increase in shooting" is not some great catastrophe, it just means that it doubled. That's what 100% means. That means that if they average 2 shootings per week, it doubled to 4. Big deal. You're hysterical over nothing here. Now it's true that America has a gun problem in general, and we definitely need to get guns off the street as best the laws will allow, but the protests really aren't the problem there.

  28.  @GlenAllen76  It was Palestinian territory, many many decades ago, but they lost it when the various Arab states invaded Israel in the 60s. There's no sense in continuing to pretend otherwise. Germany used that excuse in WWII, and nobody bought it then either.

  29. ​ @GlenAllen76  You do realize that over 2/3 of the Israeli people were born within Israel, right? They aren't from "someplace else," they are native to that land.
    1
  30.  @GlenAllen76  So, how many of those people are still alive today? People who were born in Israel are no more "immigrants" than those you call "Palestinian."
    1
  31.  @GlenAllen76  How many people who moved there before 1950 do you believe are still living there today? Again, most of the people who live there were born there, they are as native to that land as any Palestinian.
    1
  32.  @GlenAllen76  It means they have equal claim to the land as other people living there at the time. Again though, you go back over 100 years, what does that matter to the present? Do you believe someone who never lived within the borders of the Palestinian mandate should have more say in the future of Israel than people who were born there and have lived there for fifty years or more?

  33. What is the distinction?
