Biden has made multiple questionable comments. And he should be checked for them, he isn't however, at least not by anyone around him.

The last 2 paragraphs since this is in the transcript are all important points. Many people have lost themselves in numbers, and fighting over who has the right to do what, when in fact innocent people are being bombed, and places full of non-combatants who have nothing to do with any attacks are ending up as collateral. And the ones who are surviving and living through it are also losing everything, living their lives subjected to only war.

Both had laws that made mobility and freedom something that was not promised.

This is not true, antisemitism is something that should never happen and it refers to a hatred of a much wider group, whereas anti-Zionism refers to a different belief system.

Why not install easy routes to travel for Palestinians?

It could be due to hatred, or we could just be missing parts of the story.

Whatever plan Israel may have had with this strategy did not go as planned, as many families were killed during this move. Israel is to blame because they may have tried to trick Hamas, but they ended up bombing civilians anyway.

Mon, 20 Nov 2023 18:51:12 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3190964 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3190964 I agree and I have been saying this. Media and many people are portraying this as a completely random attack, when in reality it's the years of violence being taught to Palestinians due to Israel's tactics. Even Israelis are taught to live with violence, as every able person has to serve 2 years in the military.

No matter if it is a child, an old person, or women.

Mon, 20 Nov 2023 18:32:16 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3190864 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3190864 I agree, a ceasefire would be the best thing to happen right now. Israel doesn't seem to come to any sort of compromise, so the best form to bring a peace treaty.

Also countries are sending lots of medical support to Palestine, that could count as getting involved.

So that could mean more problems coming, however it has been a month and little reaction has happened.

Including India, which has been a long time supporter of Palestine due to the high population of Muslims. However the new government changed that norm.

Many Hamas leaders are out of the country so what Israel is doing doesn't have much reason.

Fri, 17 Nov 2023 23:30:38 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3188396 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3188396 Israel is completely destrotying the Gaza strip. They have bombed refugee camps, hospitals, and other residential homes all with the same excuse that these places are "being used by Hamas." However, I'm not sure how much damage Hamas could really do in apartment buildings full of children and families. Thu, 16 Nov 2023 21:31:22 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3188395 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3188395 Israel has cut off all resources for Gaza and is bombing any place that civilians can go. Since a "genocide" hasn't been declared, other countries can't get involved. So due to the legality of the term, we and the media cannot call it that. However, it is an ethnic cleansing which is basically the same thing without the legal aspects. Thu, 16 Nov 2023 21:28:37 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3188389 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3188389 It is very sad to see so many innocent lives being taken due to an attack that most Palestinian civilians had no role or even knowledge of. We see these people suffer the consequences of someone else's actions. My own Palestinian friends with family in Gaza have said that they don't care about Hamas, as Hamas leaders are not even in the country. Palestinian people just want to get safety for the civilians including women and children being bombarded by Israel. Sat, 30 Dec 2023 13:45:42 -0500 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3188384 https://nowcomment.com/documents/360800?scroll_to=3188384 After so much oppression from the Israeli side, we see Hamas reach its limit and attack out of anger to maybe try to be heard around the world. However, with multiple reports of children and civilians being caught in the crossfire, it is very sad to see how the attack was executed. Although there is no justification for taking innocent lives, there is no one else who stood up to Israeli forces, it shouldn't have been done this way though. However Israel is also to blame for this attack, when they are subjecting so many Palestinians to violence, eventually that will be the only way Palestinian people will know how to react with.

As well as taking hundreds of civilians and soldiers captive. Thu, 16 Nov 2023 21:05:54 -0500
