Completely terrifying.

Israel is absolutely committing war crimes.
Targeting homes is a violation of international law.

Israel Condemned for 'Unambiguous War Crime' After Destroying Gaza Apartment Tower - Antiwar.com Blog

Israel’s military faced war crime accusations Tuesday after carrying out an airstrike that completely destroyed a high-rise apartment building in densely populated Gaza City, prompting a massive barrage of retaliatory rocket fire as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to further...

Please understand that Israelis are forcing Palestinians out of their homes (also a violation). Palestinian's retaliate and then Israel retaliates.
Israel does not seem to be interested in peace here.

Netanyahu is in danger of losing his govt...next thing you know mosques are raided (knowing that a response will quickly happen)
then israel gets to launch weapons and pretend it's playing defense
dude's been in power 20 years too long

And so we can dismiss the fact, the radical extremist faction of the Hamas (using the shield of civilian neighborhoods) launching hundreds/thousands of missiles across the Israeli border, is what you would call acceptable? Just wondering. If so, then I suppose the Israeli’s can feel free to lob strategic smart missiles into those areas, where the indiscrement rockets are coming from. In case you are not educated, the Hamas are launching very unsophisticated rockets into Israel.

It is unfortinate that people will die. Many that are innocent citizens, that simply want peace, regardless of who their neighbor may be. But when you have waring religious cults, there is NEVER going to be peace. Why is it, only do we see it within the Islamic cult, where they fight and kill each other for rule? It is not seen in Judaism. Not in Catholicism. So how can those religious cults, expect those in the extremist side of the Islamist religious cult, to live in peace with other religious cults?

yes, chauvinism, xenophobia and islamophobia will solve everything - surprised no one thought of that before

Middle East politics are far out of my knowledge base. What I know of it is very rudimentary, but this seems wildly inaccurate. Are you saying Isreal is uprooting and bombing Palestinians because of Palestinian infighting? Also are you saying that all religions are cults or just Islamic religions?

no, he asked why intrafighting only happened in Islam and not Judaism and Catholicism - like, that's what he actually said

I'm surprised it took him this long to post.

You do realize that Iran has a medieval styled Islamic theocracy that has ruled the country while allowing "democratic" styled elections to elect mostly symbolic, secular rulers like President who in reality have little real power. Women can't leave their homes without a male escort, can't buy liquor, are totally under the thumbs of their husbands economically at home. LGBT people have no rights, and are a far greater taboo in Iranian society than gays and lesbians were here in US, UK and other Western countries in 1960's and 70's or even the Soviet Union or its Warsaw Bloc-allied Eastern European communist regimes. Anyone found converting to another religion like Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, or Judaism can be jailed for accusations of apostasy until they "repent", in some extreme cases, those who have refused to renounce their new faith were killed.

And don't even get me started on Saudi Arabia.

so...Israel gets to bomb all of them?

I'm seriously curious how you came to that conclusion but no, I'm just saying that both sides of this equation aren't innocent or far from blameless, and filled with extremists, who push radical conspiracy theories or for aggressive, violent solutions. This whole affair strikes me as a desperate power play by a PM who knows he probably will lose the upcoming elections, he's a wannabe autocrat similar to Trump in some respects, but his policies and those of his political party, have soured on many Isrealis and these attacks probably won't help Israel's international image, and he doesn't have as quite a friendly voice or administration listening to him in Washington anymore who probably were taken by surprise by this escalation of attacks from the Isrealis on Gaza. Biden's foreign policies are mostly focused on stopping expansion of Chinese aggression in the South China Sea, into one day invading Taiwan, and being a nuisance towards its neighbors in territorial disputes over access towards disputed islands with Vietnam, Philippines, Japan, and South Korea and of course ultra-nationalist Russia led by a man Biden cannot trust, can't work with or depend upon, neither can our allies in NATO or Europe plus what we know Putin's Kremlin intelligence agencies, operatives and cyber-hackers have done and continue to do to our country and our political process, economy (Colonial oil pipeline). But, unfortunately, due to Russia's large geopolitical size and scope, and their history, there too big to just be ignored so Biden has to deal with them all the same knowing just how ruthless, authoritarian, and seditious they are. The FSB did a great job learning from their NKVD/KGB predecessors how to keep a tight reign on controlling the streets of Moscow, St. Petersburg, imprisoning and poisoning dissidents, political opponents, even an obnoxious, stupid mediocre all-female Russian hardcore punk band.

And so far, and while I'm sure IDF and Netanyahu would love to and have been almost desperate to try it, Isreal hasn't attacked or bombed Iranian nuclear facilities, testing sites, or homes of ordinary Iranians in their cities. If they ever did, it would probably inflame this region more so then what it is now with Iranian-supported militias in Hezbollah and Hamas joining in. And they also likely know with a less-overtly friendly Democratic administration in office now, they'd be on their own more then likely.

So Israelis are literally taking land, houses, property from Palestinians. This is ethnic cleansing. The Palestinians revolt because of this and groups are launching rockets. This is not a battle of "religious cults." This is people fighting for their homes where the Israeli government is giving cover to Israelis stealing from Palestinians. The Israelis are openly saying they don't want a cease fire or peace.

It was the part where you...well all of it. If I was having a conversation about how poorly the federal government responded to New Orleans efforts to rebuild after Katrina and a poster started spouting BS about how sinful the city is, that it allows drinking in the streets and has an openly celebrating gay community...I'd kinnnnda think they were saying this in support of the mistreatment the city received.

Sheldon Richman's, "Coming to Palestine" is a good read on the situation in Israel.
