  1. The Old Testament says, “An eye for an eye.” I’ve always thought that meant proportionality. Israel has a right to defend itself, but their response to the Hamas attack has crossed the line of proortionality. It’s hard to say exactly where that line is, but it’s obvious that the IDF has gone far beyond it. At the same time, the Israeli government didn’t arbitrarily choose to attack the urban areas of Gaza. Hamas chose this battleground because they knew there would be a lot of civilian death and suffering. And we know Iran put them up to it. Both Hamas and Iran share responsibility for the deaths of Palestinian civilians along with Israel. The point is that Hamas is intentionally killing its own people for propaganda reasons. That is closer to genocide than what Israel is doing. If the student protestors were not ignorant of this, they would protest both Hamas and Israel. And they’re in college where they have the resources to study the conflict and the history of Israel’s conflict with its neighbors.

  2. No lies detected. Bibi is really in a class of his own, as tempting as it is to make comparisons.

  3. Nah. The majority of Republicans in Congress want to get things done. That means they will have to negotiate with Democrats.

  4. @RocketScientist1 I disagree with that. I wouldn’t say either one is “better”. I also disagree with the original comment. It’s in the interest of the Democrats to cancel out the clownery of the MTGs. Johnson had shown a willingness to negotiate and compromise so that the work of government gets done.

  5. I said the same thing. An eye for an eye is the law of proportionality. I don’t know exactly where that line is, but the IDF has gone past it. At the same time, Israel didn’t choose this Urban battleground. Hamas did because they knew the killing of civilians would turn the world away from Israel. They are just as culpable for the civilian deaths.

  6. We get the potential for a functional House.
