Wolf Blitzer's interview with Isaeli spokesman is an embarrassment in softball lobs. They are

fighting the war of optics. It is not working. They are more powerful and have more weapons therefore they need to be
the bigger person in this fight. Instead they are trying to annihilate Gaza. Now they are threatening to take over Gaza. Israel is
hellbent on all out war with the middle east. Not popular to say but this is just gross retaliation.

The people of Gaza are at the mercy of terrorists on both sides.

"Blitzer began his career in journalism in the early 1970s in the Tel Aviv bureau of the Reuters news agency. In 1973 he caught the eye of Jerusalem Post editor Ari Rath, who hired Blitzer as a Washington correspondent for the English language Israeli newspaper. Blitzer remained with the Jerusalem Post until 1990, covering both American politics and developments in the Middle East.[11]

In the mid-1970s, Blitzer also contributed to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) as the editor of their monthly publication, the Near East Report.[12][13] While at AIPAC, Blitzer's writing focused on Middle East affairs as they relate to United States foreign policy."

brunt of the responsibility since they are the most powerful. Nothing will be accomplished between these 2 factions
because no one is willing to let past injury go. This is not something that America can understand. We don't have our children
dying before our eyes. I guarantee we would be out of minds unreasonable if this were occurring.

Soldiers dying in a war conflict is different from children dying as unintended collateral.

The news media or our congress.
Both of them do whatever Netanyahu tells them to.
