I don't spend every minute of my life on here like you do. I didn't see those questions.

Huh?

Saying Israel should surrender does not support Hamas. Both sides should surrender and go through a peace process.

I found this analysis from a medical professional to be helpful.

Israel controls Gaza right now. That's why they're legally required to supply food. What are you talking about?

No, that is not a positive support for Hamas, which is what I asked you to show.

Is it being distributed? The existence of food available for Gaza is not in question. Whether it's being allowed to be distributed is.

I do not. Can you explain what makes it a genocide?

"Twice" needs to be emphasized because it's a deliberate tactic called "double-tapping." The first strike is bait to lure in healthcare workers and journalists, both of whom Israel deliberately targets.

In the midst of the oncoming starvation crisis, Israel struck the last functioning hospital in Southern Gaza this morning. They are claiming they were targeting a "camera" Hamas was using for surveillance. 20 civilians were killed in the "double-tap" strike. Israel is famous for its "double-taps." A double-tap strike is when a first strike is fired, followed by a second several minutes later once help for the wounded arrives on the scene of the first strike.

Can you explain what makes 10/7 a genocide? It was certainly a horrific war crime.

It's likely a combination of things, none of which are uncommon for a 79 year old man. Likely on blood thinners for heart issues (see his swollen lower legs), which could be anything from your typical high blood pressure to congestive heart failure. Probably getting blood drawn or some sort of injection in his hand because they have trouble with the vein in his elbow (also pretty common). He could die tomorrow or in 15 years. In other words, he's an average 80-year old American man.

probably because of dolts like you who look for every reason to deny genocide.

incredibly racist as usual. we don't know what the state of the brother's health is. he's clothed. you wouldn't know how skinny the girl was just by her face.

Yes, @Offthemat should be included too. But it is the opposite of a logical/factual statement. Children starving faster than adults is verified scientific fact. That fact completely undercuts your proposed analysis of [paraphrasing] "the only way that could happen is if the mother kept all the food for herself and therefore she's pure evil." And then @Bigbrog cosigned that analysis as logical, when it is the very opposite.

I'll start responding to you again when you actually address any part of my position using logically coherent arguments.

That's not a statement of support for Hamas over Israel. Try again.

I repeated it because it's the answer to his question. He asked a question. I answered it. "I called Caveria's post?? Like on the phone? Is that possible??" You really think you're clever, huh? This is not how language works. "calling you out for TRYING to sound smart" Extremely obvious case of projection. You think you have all these clever comments and they're just nonsensical and further demonstrate that you're just stupid.

Find one post where I say that and you can have a $1000. I explicitly say the way to *defeat Hamas* is to have a peace process. It's one of the foundational tenets of my position that I've said over and over again on this forum. Happy hunting for your $1000!

You called Caveira's post asking how it's possible for a child to starve before an adult logical, thus showing your support for his position. You could end this now by just admitting you were wrong about biology.

If you can find one post on this entire forum where I say Hamas is good, I will give you $1000.

You wouldn't have to ask those questions if you were able to read.

You want me to write a book length history of the entire conflict? I never said there wouldn't be conflict. That's why there would be an extensive peace-keeping force to oversee the transition. None of you want to acknowledge that reality because it eliminates the boogeyman possibility that you rely on. Believing there would ever be a scenario where Israel is abandoned and unprotected from Muslim recrimination is the definition of naive. Any solution - two state or one state - will involve overwhelming military protection from the West for Israel - just like we've been doing for the past 70 years. Nor would I endorse anything that didn't include that. Speaking of Lebanon, why didn't you mention Sabra and Shatila? That was worse than October 7th by every measure. What about the Nakba? Deir Yassin? What about the documented (by the IDF) 450 attacks by West Bank settlers on Palestinian villagers this year? The only thing dumb is your constant tallying of the score without proposing or engaging with any sort of solution to the actual problem.

Damn, I wonder why?

1) Israel has a significant amount of extremists in their country who believe all Arabs should be killed. 2) Again ignoring that the Western World and Russia would never let anything like that happen. Ever. There is a 100x more chance of Jewish massacres of Muslims in that scenario, than vice-versa.
