The only people who really want this violence are the religious fanatics in Hamas, Hezbollah and the numerous other Islamic fundamentalist terrorist organisations around the world, many of whom are backed by the religious fanatics back in Tehran.
Unfortunately, acolytes of this death cult are spreading the world over like cancer. In a few more generations, many Western nations will cease to resemble their current selves. Of particular worry is what this will mean for countries like France and Britain, who may conceivably have Islamist leadership drooling over their newly found control of a thermonuclear arsenal.

I don't think France or Britain are any where near that type of scenario, although I do agree that immigration thrughout the West needs to be tightly controlled.
Parts of Russia are however heavily Islamic, and Russia has over 15 million Muslims, and was recently the subject of a terrible Islamic terrorist attack.
Whilst China might back countries such as Iran, in reality they don't tolerate Islam in China, and Muslims are sent to re-education camps.
There are 22 Arab countries in the world. There are 49 muslim countries in the world.
Yet somehow we (Jews) are trying to take over the world, and one tiny little country in the middle east (without any oil) is too many?
And many of those Muslim nations use to have a large population of Christian’s and Jews. However they were forced to convert to Islam, flee the country, or die. Those non-Muslims still living within Islamic countries are like second or third class citizens. Meanwhile in Israel, Christian’s and Muslims are not only citizens, they’re also allowed to vote in elections and hold public elected office. While homosexuals in Islamic countries must hide their sexuality for fear of prison or execution, these same homosexuals have rights of protection in Israel.
The Israeli's have to endure numerous rocket and missile attacks as part of every day life, as well as suicide bombings, however the 7th October was just a step to far, and I don't blame the Israeli's for trying to destroy Islamic fundamentalist groups.
Very true. The Israeli's have been pushed to the edge by being attacked for having one country to call home.
Then there's all the antisemitism at University protests. It's funny how despite Russia being at war with Ukraine or the condition of Uyghur Muslims in China, I never hear about hate towards Russians or the Chinese on University campuses and other places. But yet when it comes to the Jewish, it's like open season.
I realize that there is a lot of racism towards Muslims but the Jewish have it much worst.
This is a perfect Example of 'Joining the Crowd to BELONG to something' --- its classic Rebel without a Cause. 90% of these kids don't even know the Facts --- they are just 'Lemmings' going along with the Crowd !
The people worked up about civilian casualties in the Gaza war couldn't care less about civilian casualties in the Ukrainian war or a hundred other war zones. They never complain about those civilian deaths, they just want to complain about deaths they can pin on Jews.
Not true of me. Use this argument on someone who it applies to but that's not what I believe at all. And I've already said that I think it's tragic no matter what civilian bystander ends up as a casualty.

You are obviously a compassionate, kind person. However, I think most people (including myself) do not really understand how a war should be fought. My late boyfriend told me, not all Muslims were terrorists when he was a Marine. He STILL lost his life in his very early 20s and I will never "get over" it. He is a very kind soul, but he's also an exceptionally great Marine.
To me, proportionality is an illusion. There is nothing proportional in most conflicts. Many times, you need to act in a way that will discourage any further aggression, especially when your back is against the wall.
The fact that civilians should be protected has nothing to do with proportionality. Targeting civilians is forbidden, however, collateral damage is very difficult to avoid.
I don't believe Palestinian children deserve to die , but I also understand it is a question of legitimate use of means to achieve ends.
As the casualty difference between the two sides became greater, the concept started being used as a propaganda tool by pro Palestinian press. There is absolutely no historical precedent for that concept applied or talked about in any war prior to this.
The low Israeli death rate is due to Israel's massive expenditure of resources to protect its civilian population, with shelters for all, an efficient early warning system, and the iron dome rocket shield.
I think the debate on war has in the recent decade broken down to "good/bad", "right/wrong", "even "left/right". This is not an appropriate way of viewing one of the most important elements of humanity.
War is not a yes or no, always or never decision or circumstance. It is never the same, and always totally dependent on the people involved, the cultures and history of the region as well as the resources in contention.
The point should be that war is a FINAL option. War is not a game.
I lost childhood friend and my first love because of this horrible war on terror. My personal opinion is that you fight to survive. no more/no less.
When Jewish people say, "Never again". They really mean it. Never again.
The same Blood Libel which was used in the Middle Ages has taken hold in the GOP. Rep. Greene said:
“Antisemitism is wrong, but I will not be voting for the Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2023 (H.R. 6090) today that could convict Christians of antisemitism for believing the Gospel that says Jesus was handed over to Herod to be crucified by the Jews,” she said. “Read the bill text and contemporary examples of antisemitism like #9.”
In short, she embraces anti-semitic tropes, and yet, no one in the GOP calls her out.

the bills name/title sucks
EVERYONE from the middle-east is a semite
why not actually title bills correctly...... title it: We (the people of the USA) will not stand for the terrorism of Hamas and the trespassing Jordanians who call themselves Palestinians calling for the extermination of all of Israel. The We stand with Israel bill
