    Cool that our tax dollars are being spent on blowing up Christian churches, children and journalists

      Dude, I fucking hate it too. Imagine graduating as an engineer, you keep getting offers to work for Raytheon et Al… The temptation is so great when nobody else will respond, but you know what those fuckers are going to do with your work.

    “A statement from the Israel Defense Forces said the strike targeted a nearby Hamas control centre and “damaged the wall of a church in the area”.” The audacity…

      Wonder when US Christians will start giving a shit about their Palestinian counterparts?

      Or does that not fit into their death cult endtime fantasies? Are they even aware that there are Christians there too?

      Yeah. When I read that I flipped. Israel made this a nightmare for these people that they may never be able to fully recover from and all they can do is say “woops sorry”.

    I really would like to see that all Americans have been evacuated from Gaza. And also helping Americans get out of the west Bank / Israel that want to leave.

      Are American lives worth inherently more than Palestinian lives? The fuck do comments like this get upvoted?

        The comment isn’t suggesting that one nation’s lives have more value than another’s. America has more than 500 citizens trapped in Gaza, unable to leave. Egypt won’t let them enter, Israel won’t let them enter. No Palestinians should be required to flee their homeland if they don’t want to. America should help Americans get home during this crisis.

      The lives of Palestinians are far less important than our boys in blue. Instead of I don’t know? stopping Israel directly, we’ll just save our people and get out of there.

        It would be easier for America to have tough negotiations with Israel, if American lives couldn’t be used as leverage.
