It is SO complex. No solution has been achieved in 100+ years.

Lots of people have slaughtered lots of other people since time began. This current attack isn’t particularly complex—terrorists killed civilians. Liberals don’t support that sort of thing, even if “Jews” did something similar in the past. And I haven’t seen anything suggesting, for instance, that the 300 or so folks killed at a music festival had slaughtered anyone recently.

On edit, you should remove your post. It’s unbecoming.

As long as people are willing to kill and die for having a homeland, this will continue. One side, then the other.

“One side, then the other.” Not today. When have Israeli’s kidnapped children and paraded them through the street while being physically abused, or surrounded civilians at a music festival and raped and slaughtered hundreds? That isn’t an errant bomb, that’s dozens and dozens of Hamas terrorists actively deciding to rape and/or shoot unarmed men, women and children. It’s literally no different than the Nazi Einsatzgruppen during the Holocaust or ISIS beheading captives. It’s indefensible.

Israeli choking off food supply, in latest retaliation, which is a war crime! Best I can tell, both sides extremely guilty!

Absolutely appalled to see someone on a liberal website excusing indiscriminate rape and slaughter.
