Sedona, AZ –How could they be so stupid? Didn’t Hamas know that by doing what they did they gave Israel the moral green light to go in and destroy their country?
Raping women, killing children beheading babies. What the heck were they thinking?
They had to know that they would be annihilated for such heinous acts. Yet, they went ahead with them anyway.
It just doesn’t make sense. They forced the hand of their most bitter enemy and handed their heads over to them on a silver platter.
The images of the destruction of Northern Gaza, paint picture of utter and complete obliteration.
One broken building after another, entire blocks reduced to rubble. What used to be homes, restaurants, stores, schools, offices, all gone — and it isn’t over yet.
What a price the people of Palestine now pay thanks to the stupidity and arrogance of their leaders.
They should rise up and drag those responsible for what happened to the Israeli army where Hamas could be paid back for the pain they caused to their own and Israel.
But still, why the beheadings and killing of babies? What did they expect the Israelis to do? What chance did they think they had against an ultra-modern army equipped with the best weapons in the world? Did they believe hang gliders could go against F16s, precision guided missiles and drones straight out of the future?
There has to be an even more sinister reason for the initial attack, the atrocities and the taking of the hostages.
Was there an invisible hand behind it all? Were the atrocities committed in order to justify the annihilation of Palestine?
Was the Israeli counterattack, sparked by Iranian manipulation, a bloody ruse to get the world to hate Jews?
Or was it basically a land grab by the U.S. and Israel, as some conspiracy believers postulate?
And then there are the pro-Palestinian demonstrations on campuses and cities across the country that are baffling the pundits as to why.
What news are these demonstrators reading that the general public is not?
Suffering consumes the people of Israel and Palestine. Sorrow is served in great goblets of pain and despair.
And now we sit in front of our devices watching the release of the hostages and the trade-offs, hoping for a lasting truce, one that might never happen.
But how deep of an immensurable betrayal of their own people did Hamas commit. Inhuman. Barbaric. Their people, displaced, no homes left for them to return to.
Their people are now living in crowded tents or any shelter they can find; without sanitation, toilet paper, showers, food, medicine, water, cooking oil and shelter, all because Hamas, or, those behind them, decided to attack Israel in a most hideous way.
We could ask who is profiting most from the expenditure of munitions in this war. The same people profiting from the Ukraine war, perhaps?
What is truth and what is fiction? Who is evil and who is not?
The innocent never know. They just bleed.

First of all Hamas does not have a country. Secondly neither they nor Israel cares about Palestinian civilian life as is made clear from the flattening of entire high rise ghetto style apartment buildings, refugee camps, ambulances and hospitals.
I am of Jewish descent and fully disavow the war crimes and Terrorism committed both by Hamas and the IDF.
The Jewish settlers who were attacked in Oct were deliberately placed in harms way on Palestinian territory in a land grab for “Israeli Settlers” to farm and build factories on in an effort to deprive fertile valuable land to Palestinian farmers and industry.
Until Israel ceases to land grab and imprison Palestinians for minor offenses such as rock throwing against armed Israeli troops they will spawn more and more ethnic divide, hatred and violence. It’s not a good look for a nation founded in the wake of the Holocaust to act the same as the Nazi regime they fled!
If you want to see Hamas punished you would have to address those who supply and back their insurgents from multiple countries outside of Gaza such as Russia, North Korea, Iran, Syria, Yemen and I suspect many others who we consider to be Allies but have proven time and time again that they are anything but such as Saudi Arabia!
They knew it was going to happen. They let it happen. Now they have an excuse to obliterate Palestine.
The Israeli government clearly knew but not Israel’s citizens. Just as the vast majority of Palestinians are not in anyway affiliated with any terror organizations and had little or no knowledge of what Hamas had planned to do on October 7th.
Netanyahu is just another idiot dictator wannabe like Trump who strives to be the hero his brother was but he can only dream of being. Just as I’m certain those pulling the strings of the terror groups in the region are dictators and haters of their fellow man with religion as an excuse for both sides.
…while the US Gov’t and Corporate Media support and assist in that obliteration.
That’s a given like the annual aid budgeted to Israel since it’s inception but don’t give a bloody dime to Ukraine anymore because we had so much fun with WWI, WWII and the Cold War with Russia’s shenanigans.
Putin and his band of DICKtator thugs around the globe are inflaming things in the Middle East, East China Sea, Korea, Africa, South America and even Antarctica in order to detract from his crimes against humanity in Ukraine! And the MAGA morons are pushing to help Putin’s agenda in order to please the Orange Idgit Manchurian Candidate that has them in his Herr Goebels Magic spell!
Who’d have thunk that the flawed but greatest nation on earth because of our decision to destroy totalitarianism and Nazism threatening the sanctity of the entire planet would turn around and Cow Tow to it here in the US under Dump and globally at an unprecedented scale.
I’ll never forget watching Romanian DICKtator Nicolae Ceaușescu getting dragged out into the streets with his wife by a mob of Romanian civilians and soldiers and shot multiple times as he whined that he “didn’t recognize the court” that had him on trial at gun point. Then there was Saddam, Qaddafi and a few others who met similar fates in recent years like Mussolini who got strung up, spat upon, stabbed, choked and ultimately shot with his lovely Fascist wife. That’s what they all deserved and got. Sad when people like Hitler, Mao, Stalin etc. got away without facing a jury of their peers like the aforementioned DICKtators did. Perhaps todays wannabe DICKtators like Dump face a similar fate should they succeed in continuing their complete destruction of our Government, History (as in books and movies) and Freedoms they aspire to take from all but themselves. They want to be the Bond Barons, Oligarchs and Kings of the world while eliminating all of those they despise and driving the rest back into pre-Civil War Slavery.
The incomprehensibleness of evil defies all explanation, as does the pure evil of Hamas hatred. Even the other Arab states (other than Iran) want Israel to finish the job with Hamas before stopping military action. Only the truly ignorant can support that level of hatred, chaos and evil, and the loss of innocent life on both sides is shocking and heart breaking. People can trot out their pet theories, but no one can justify or explain the depth of evil that is Hamas. This tragedy didn’t need to happen. But Hamas will brag about taking two years to plan their inhuman massacre, two years of unexplainable hatred and evil, with the lowly cowardice of hiding behind human shields of women and children, schools and hospitals. There is simply no justification for the evil of Hamas.
Yep Hamas = evil but the Israeli government known for leveling entire apartment complex’s and homes in retaliation for terror strikes by a single person/terrorist and their “individual actions”, imprisoning minors for throwing stones at or in the direction of heavily armed police and or military, bulldozing over and killing an unarmed juvenile protesters.
So the Israeli government needs to be addressed for its reign of terror against the Palestinian civilians just as Hamas must be addressed for it’s reign of terror against Israeli citizens (of which there are few because military service is obligatory for Israeli’s where hatred of Palestinians is part of their indoctrination into the military.
It is NOT anti Semitic nor anti Muslim/Palestinian (many of which are Christians and not Muslim) to call out the criminals on both sides of this senseless war that will only lead to more crimes, criminals and casualties on both sides.
Hamas is funded and armed by Russia, Iran, North Korea, China, likely Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Even Netanyahu himself if the reporting is true of his government providing Hamas leadership with truck loads of cash to Hamas in order to have Hamas continue its campaign of terror against Israel as an excuse to flatten Gaza (which is exactly what it is in the process of doing now).
Have Palestinian children been indoctrinated to hate Israeli’s? You betcha and it’s not even necessary because most of them have lost family by Israel’s hand but Israeli kids are taught the same about their Palestinian neighbors because of Hamas and other regional terror organizations actions against Israel just as Serbian children are still taught to hate Bosniak Muslim’s, Americans are still taught to hate foreigners, Koreans from the North are taught about South Koreans and vice versa. The world is full of these examples which stem from wars past and present because man is a vengeful evil being, always has been and always will be!
You have a very dark perspective, JB.
The actual historical fact is that Palestinians have a history of Jewish hatred and genocide before the Jewish state was even created – they were great pals with Hitlers crowd in killing as many Jews as possible. So, yes, they indoctrinate their children – with the crimes of their fathers, but it has nothing to do with the Jewish state itself (other than its existence), they just use that to rationalize their evil. The Jewish state doesn’t attack first, but it does respond to finish the fight.
I may be dark but it stems from seeing the real world first hand and not on Fox Fake News.
Does their Tora tell them that like our fable book the Bible tells us things it doesn’t.
What you state is akin to saying Anglo’s were the first to discover and populate the United States and that the indigenous peoples that somehow were already here living in large population centers antagonized the Anglos with hatred long before we took their lands from them.
I am of Jewish descent but I don’t have a worldview based on faith. It is based upon direct observation of various governments and their war crimes regardless of which faith they “CLAIM” to be but not practice just as our government has in various ways and means both domestically and internationally. Alledged CLAIMS of wars being based upon faith is BS!
Wars as I have stated multiple times is a land grab, a steal and a war crime between the haves and have nots and those with the most ability to silence those with whom they almost always wrongfully perceive as the true cause of stupid conflict and brutality which never ends because it becomes a generational hatred between oppressor and victim. Hence guerrilla warfare and terrorism are spawn as a means to avenge perceived war crimes committed against a population by an unwanted, and un justified bully in their neighborhoods.
