Re: Israel declares state of war

You live in some sort of leftist alternative reality. That's pretty unlikely now given the atrocities committed by Hamas. Butcher civilians and we'll negotiate with the terrorists? Why would you negotiate with the terrorists? There are plenty of other Palestinians groups that could be negotiated wi...

Re: Israel declares state of war

That’s the hamas charter in place when you claimed they offered a better outcome with Israel. It’s perfectly in context. You’re seriously misunderstanding everything about hamas. It’s in context and relevant to your claim of how they were viewed. Feel free to post some links to how that's what they...

Re: Israel declares state of war

In the unlikely event Isreal stopped and even dismantled the settlements , I think there’s a very good chance that rocket attacks might cease in exchange.
