It's why the ceasefire negotiations continued to be sabotaged by Netanyahu. A ceasefire would have prevented the ethnic cleansing, the completion of the destruction and deaths by war and pestilence.

October 7th presented the opportunity to create Greater Israel. As you say, just like 9/11 and PNAC. I think the results will be just as dire.

It dismays me not just that this was easily foreseen and could have been prevented, but also that I suspect that it was in fact likely foreseen and tolerated - even indirectly facilitated by the West. It also bothers me that even saying that makes me a terrorist supporter in the eyes of some.

So I just want to say I condemn Hamas!! Human shields!! Effing terrorist scum!!
