Not everyone is on the payroll but the professional agitators and organizers are. The fact that Soros is hardly mentioned in mainstream news narratives leads me to believe that we are all being manipulated.

I get it. There's no debate in my eyes - the Palestinian people are oppressed. They face oppression from the Israeli government, but also from Hamas and every sponsor of terrorism. They were previously oppressed by the PLO, etc.going4roses said:

I don't think the colonizer model fits what's happened at all though - if the middle eastern terrorists got what they wanted (all jewish people killed, state of Israel destroyed), the Palestinian people will continue to be oppressed since they face it from all sides. The Jewish people obviously faced persecution throughout history, including by people who colonized Israel and committed genocide. That's not an excuse for what's happened, I just don't think it's reasonable or fair for anyone to claim that Israel is the sole source of Palestinian oppression. The Palestinian people have been leveraged for generations by powers in the middle east as a weapon against Israel and the Jewish people.
Unfortunately, oppression is endemic throughout the middle east with groups in every single country facing oppression. If Israel falls, I can guarantee you it will not be replaced with a democratic state governed by, for and of the Palestinian people but rather one that continues to oppress them to the advantage of some other authoritarian regime.

Israel open to discussing "sustainable calm" in Gaza after initial hostage release: officials
https://www.axios.com/2024/04/27/israel-gaza-ceasefire-humanitarian-hostage-release
Question
Netanyahu at one point justified the severity of Israel's response to the October 7 terror attack by stating that 1200 Israelis being murdered is equivalent, proportion wise, to 30,000 Americans being murdered on 9/11.
His logic has a problem when applied to the invasion of Gaza. Killing 34,000 residents of Gaza, proportionally, is equivalent to over 140,000 Israelis being killed.
Couldn't have Netanyahu returned Israel to the pre October 7 security status quo without this disproportionate response?
*An eye for an eye proportional response would have been 300 Gaza resident's deaths. Regardless of how firm you think the retaliation should have been, 300 deaths to 34,000 deaths is a large gap for any argument to bridge.

Sorry B, but this is a bizarre lens through which to evaluate the response. Palestine engaged in a terrorist and militarist attack on Israel. It's not like they stole $5 and Israel stole $300 back. Palestine's "government" (whatever you want to call Hamas along with its foreign backers) aims to destroy Israel and 10/7 wasn't meant to be a one time thing. It wasn't an accident or mistake.bearister said:

Israel's not just looking for 'justice" whatever that could mean - their goal is to dismantle Hamas and Palestine's military capabilities so that they no longer pose a threat to Israel or its population. It turns out that because Hamas hides among civilians, this can't be fought like a normal war. Hamas isn't complying with the Geneva Convention and it would be impossible for Israel to protect its sovereignty without disproportional civilian casualties.
Any comparison between the number dead in Gaza (whatever it is, I put no faith in Hamas' made up numbers) and the civilians killed on 10/7 is pointless. Hamas continues to wage war against Israel. They (along with Iran, Hezbollah and others) continue to launch offensive attacks against Israel. They remain committed to destroying Israel, so why would Israel just stop because some arbitrary made up number is publicized?
Everyone who cares about the Palestinian people should see that they have been failed by their militant leaders (and foreign enablers). Pretending like Israel is entitled to kill x people because y people were raped and killed is not consistent with international law or any other moral code.
Israel can and should do a much better job protecting Palestinian civilians from the war with Hamas (and others). Obviously that's complicated by the way Hamas (and others) operate, but it's clear that Israel has made too many mistakes and that they continue to happen. I don't know what the number is but I know it would be a hell of a lot lower if Hamas wasn't intentionally endangering Palestinians. But that won't change because Hamas DGAF what happens to Palestinians and never has. They got what they wanted - a war that Russia, Iran and others could use to distract from Ukraine and help turn the tide against Israel and Jewish people.
The USA lost around 2,500 people at Pearl Harbor and around 3,000 on 9/11. How many people did we kill in fighting the resulting wars? Literally hundreds of thousands.bearister said:

This is a war, not a video game. In a war, you win when the other side surrenders or, at a minimum, when your security has been restored.
Israel has blundered by not just finishing the job weeks ago. Had Biden given his full support, they would have. But instead, with all the constraints he has placed on tactics and weaponry, Biden refuses to let Israel or Ukraine win.
Well one of you is basically saying there is no limit to how many civilians you can kill in the quest to destroy Hamas, and the other views October 7 as equivalent to one of the Axis Powers making it's first move on America in its quest for world domination.
You're entitled to your opinions.
*BTW, the countless thousands killed in the pretextual Iraq Invasion had nothing to do with 9/11 and everything to do with the Neocon (Dick Cheney/Paul Wofowitz) wet dream of controlling the Middle East.

Because I believe in the idea of the state of Israel and I want to be on their side on this, but c'mon, man.
Unclear to me how Israel can actually "win" this war at this point. Hamas maintains high levels of support among the "civilian" population in Gaza and still has its foreign leaders and sovereign supporters, all of whom would rather score points against Israel than spare civilian Palestinians. And given that Israel has less than zero support from other Middle Eastern nations despite the fake and meaningless peace treaties it signed, it's got to do it alone.BearGoggles said:

Alan Dershowitz was on Maria Baritomo's show and he said there have been "fewer civilian casualties in proportion to combatants than any country in modern history." I don't know what the real casualty numbers are but do you think the U.S. did a much better job when we were bombing and drone striking the Middle East?

The northern/arctic route is emerging as an alternative for maritime trade between Asia and Europe, it is roughly one third shorter than through the Red Sea.
This being said, what we are seeing now is that it is Israel that is destabilizing the region. The Houthis' main condition for stopping their disruption on Bab-al-Mandab traffic is for Israel to lift its medieval starvation blockade on Gaza.
