Not going to dispute that what happened on October 7th was horrific, but let’s not water down the holocaust. This as horrible as it was, was more like an old medieval era raid but worse with the level of hatred that was had for the people it was against. The holocaust was a combination of slavery and forced human experimentation and all kinds of other horrible things that also happened on October 7th all culminating with the plan of extermination. Which yes that may be what Hamas says their goal is but that obviously wasn't the goal of the attack, it was to perpetuate the cycle of violence and gain hostages for leverage. If anything they were too successful, they were like a dog chasing a car and they accidentally caught it, now they're hanging on to the bumper as the car speeds down the highway at 80 mph.

I can’t really follow your thought process here.  The innocent victims of the horrors of 10/7–men, women, children, infants deserve no less consideration for the atrocities visited upon them than do victims of the holocaust.  The way I look it, if you string together multiple instances of exactly this type of savagery, violence and degradation—and I’d suggest Hamas gleefully embraces just such a plan—it’s not long before hundreds become thousands, thousands become tens of thousands, and tens of thousands become hundreds of thousands.

If I had to guess the reason why, it's that right now the U.S. is pretty useful pushing for the negotiations for the hostages and the ceasefire, so they want to keep us engaged in that which becomes less likely if our hostages are released.

Obama-era deal to allow Hamas office in
Qatar backfired on US: experts

by Peter Aitken

 

The U.S. played a direct role in helping set up the Hamas office in Qatar during the Obama administration, seeking appeasement and soft diplomacy but ultimately failing to control the terrorist group as it festered in Gaza.

 

"For many years now, both the United States and Israel have been living in a policy fantasy world where we have tolerated Hamas' existence in Doha and believed that Doha would be a moderating influence," Richard Goldberg, the coordinator for the Trump administration’s maximum pressure campaign on Iran, told Fox News Digital. "That thesis was disproven on Oct. 7, so whatever has happened in the last few years

I'd love to see where you found I'd said that all, not to mention how would you not apply that logic to this statement?

It makes the holocaust look minor.

My issue was this statement, I went out of my way to point out that October 7th was ***** terrible, but if you're going to say that you can even rate human atrocities which the above statement essentially does then no it's not on the same level. It's ***** horrible but the holocaust is the ***** holocaust, they industrialized murder it is what is.

My comment was based on the contrition, or shame of the perpetrators.

Of course the holocaust was many times worse in scope.

But at least the Nazis understood the perfidy of their actions, as they tried to hide it.

That suggests some kind of conscience; some awareness that the actions were horrific.

 

This Hamas group videoed their atrocities, expressing pride in their slaughter.

Publicized them. Were proud of them. Sent the murder tapes to their families.

That is a very dangerous difference, which cannot be allowed to exist.

 

I have never seen anything like that, and it cannot be allowed to exist.

I would love to see where I said what you said I said about what you said.  I said, quite clearly, that I didn’t follow the thought process you laid out.  In civilized conversation, this is often viewed as attempt to understand the perspective of another.  The risk of course is that the other party may nor wish to engage in dialogue, may misconstrue the attempt as condescending or hyper-aggressive, may misunderstand the context as offered, or in some cases,  flip their lid.

Lid, flipped. 

I read what you wrote, understand that you felt the 10/7 attacks were horrific, and replied as I did.  Nothing you’ve shared here changes anything.   It happens.

You're either purposely implying I think differently than this, or somehow tripped into the sentence structure that does like some sort of grammatical Mr. Magoo.

Released Female Hamas Terrorist's Chilling Response Shows Exactly Why Israel Can't Stop

 

 

She was originally imprisoned for stabbing someone in Israel. 

 

Yeah, it doesn't soothe the sensibilities of your average MSNBC or Sky News host to say that, but that is the world as it is. Israel can only react to what's actually happening, not to some pie-in-the-sky idea of what Palestinians "really want." They are telling you what they want, and it's to continue to commit genocide against the Jews. There's only one viable response to that.

I like a good Magoo reference as much as anyone, but I'd be remiss if I didn't point out you've gone from suggesting I said something, then suggested I was implying something, then introduced the notion that perhaps I tripped into making you think I said or implied something.  This was after unleashing a string of censored obscenities over whatever perceived slight or misunderstanding you felt may have been visited upon you. 

 

Sometimes, words are just words, delivered as intended, with no hidden meaning behind them.

The sole avenue of coexistence that became a Hamas killing field

Gaza workers used to pass through Erez. So did medical patients, diplomats, UN personnel. Then terrorists struck.

 

The Erez Border Crossing, at the northern end of the Gaza Strip, was the sole civilian crossing point from Hamas-run Gaza into Israel. Every day, thousands of Gazans with permits to work in Israel would proceed through the modern terminal complex; others came in for medical treatment; diplomats, UN officials and others could drive through.

 

It was the only avenue of Israel-Gaza coexistence.

 

Now, it’s a war zone.

 

On the morning of October 7, Hamas terrorists blew up and burst through the barriers separating Erez from the Gaza Strip, and poured into the complex. Unwatchable footage shows them killing some of the utterly unprepared, hopelessly outnumbered complement of soldiers on duty, and abducting others into Gaza.

None of this has anything to do with Trump or events 2000 years ago.

Asinine red herrings.

Earlier today you stated that Biden messed up the Ukraine disaster. He’s an 81 yo buffoon that’s in over his head. It’s ok to admit it as you did earlier today. 

He's doing a better job than the fascist Trump would do against Putin. He loves Putin, thinks his invasion is "genius." 

 

Biden is a good one!

Update: Truce Extended Two Days

https://uk.news.yahoo.com/israel-hamas-latest-updates-ceasefire-deadline-101517447.html

18 minutes ago — "An agreement has been reached to extend the humanitarian truce for an additional two days in the Gaza Strip," a foreign ministry spokesperson ...

Good 

 

Now if the House GOP would pass a serious aid package, but they played games instead. Such a serious issue, yet they screw around. Is Trump mad at Netanyahoo? 

 

That's what drives our response to a crisis?
