      • Israel Military is still bad.
      • Hamas is still bad.

      That meta hasn’t changed.

      Hamas holding a selection of world citizens as hostages puts a interesting spin on international support and responses.

      Russia in particular has a history of hostages be damned, we’re going to hurt the hostage takers…

        Israel Military is still bad. Hamas is still bad. That meta hasn’t changed.

        This is not the meta I encountered here but a normal persons view on the conflict that I totally agree and share with you!

          Yeah… Lots of people have vested interests, or are just responding emotionally… so we get lots of drive by outrage posting.

          Hard to have a civil discussion on the news topics that actually has a real thoughtful back and forth debate. (Repeating talking points at each other isn’t a debate, it’s just noise)

          I still try, every once in a while we find it, and it’s worth while…

      No, Israel is not bad. The entire country is in shock after a devastating terror attack that killed thousands. They have a right to defend themselves. What can and should be criticized and questioned is the current government and how they act in Gaza. On the other side, any form of anti-semitism that hides as criticism should not be tolerated.
