Of course. Why? Hamas says 30000 casualties you said 300000 buildings destroyed. Aren't you surprised the casualty numbers aren't even higher?

Battles rage around Rafah after US halts some weapons to Israel

They are obviously not shooting at the air and the air firing back. Hamas is there, in Rafah. So that should answer the question of why are you attacking us?!

Rafah is Harboring Hamas.
And not one peep of objection from there or on campus.

I am not even mad that Biden is withholding sending big bombs.

It will come down to Boots/tanks on the ground to root out the rats hiding amongst the civilians. Less collateral, though admittedly more dangerous to Israeli soldiers.

Home stretch! Godspeed!

Default US Senator Graham says delaying arms to Israel akin to 'Hiroshima and Nagasaki on steroids'

GOP lawmaker says US ‘will pay a price’ for ‘obscene’ decision to stop weapons to Israel ‘at a time of great peril’; State Department says considering delaying further weapon shipments to Israel in response to Rafah operation

“If we stop weapons necessary to destroy the enemies of the State of Israel at a time of great peril, we will pay a price. This is obscene. It is absurd. Give Israel what they need to fight the war they can’t afford to lose,” Graham added.
I agree 100%. Israel MUST end Hamas now or face more Oct 7ths in the near future.

Israel should’ve ripped off this band aid months ago.

Israel lacks the moral courage to do what needs to be done.

My thought is that we shouldn't be giving things to Israel or Palestine. If we agreed to sell the weapons to Israel, we need to abide by our own contracts.

Let me guess, Ukraine is getting all the aid they want. Johnson was a fool to trust Biden on this or any other issue.

I read somewhere that the $1.8 billion in annual US military aid to Israel must be spent in the United States. This means it provides jobs for 50,000 US workers. The $1.2 billion in annual economic aid goes for repayment of debt to the United States, incurred from military purchases dating back many years. This debt is now close to being liquidated.

I agree with you that America needs to take care of her own. But I do believe Israel is our most important ally. A friend in need is a friend indeed. I think we need to support them.

The late senator Daniel Inouye said Israeli information regarding Soviet arms saved the US billions of dollars.

in 2009, Israel shares with the US its battle tested experience in combating Palestinian and Hizbullah terrorism, which are the role model of anti us islamic terrorism in Iraq.

During the first Gulf war 1991, Israel provided invaluable intelligence, an umbrella of air cover for military cargo, and had personael planted in the Iraqi desert to pick up downed American pilots.

I think we need to support Israel, they are our most important ally in my opinion.

This said, I don't have any answers. I hope Bibi knows what he's doing.
