    If you're going to be technical about it, on this very page you can kind find mention of political leaders and elected governments along with their policies.

    The politics of the Vikings will not be silenced!

    I mean, I'm sitting here arguing with a complete moron. It's a moment of introspection for me and not something I'm proud of.

    Then go back to your safe space where people will make you feel smart again.

    Hamas is celebrating the murder of innocent people through terrorism.

    The Israeli that started this lovely exchange celebrated the murder of people through terrorism.

    Are those facts helpful at all for you?

    Both sides FTW.

    "Israel started it" is the biggest rewrite of history I've seen in quite a while. Well done!

    No my comment was about a far-right, ultra nationalist that deifies Jewish terrorists and has stated that Palestinians should be removed from Gaza and that his family's right to live in freedom trumps that of Palestinians' rights to live in freedom.

    I was hopeful we might find common ground in condemning him as the piece of shit he is, but your brain can't get there and still make sense of anything.

    Are you able to process anything here in any other capacity beyond 'Israel good, Palestine bad'?

    This isn't about Palestine. This is about Hamas. And yeah, it's pretty fucking binary at this point. But keep on doing what you do to "muh both sides" this.

    Sounds like he's the Jewish version of Hamas. Good thing he was put in a position of power.

    So he has beheaded and raped innocent civilians? Stop trying to equate things that don't equate.

  7. Hamas' armed wing issues hostage threat over Israeli air strikes

    The armed wing of Hamas, the Al-Qassam brigades, has announced it will "begin executing an Israeli civilian captive in return for any new Israeli bombing of civilian houses without pre-warning".

    Al Qassam spokesman Abu Obaida, in a post on Telegram, blamed the move on "Israel's stepped-up bombing and killing of children, women, and the elderly inside their homes".

    He added that "the ball is in their [Israel's] court from now on."

    The Israeli government believes dozens of Israelis are being held captive in Gaza after Hamas fighters infiltrated the country on Saturday.

    Israel sends alerts warning Palestinians if they are in an area due to be targeted in an attack.

    Since Israel began striking Gaza in response to the large-scale attacks by Hamas, nearly 600 people have died.

    No, it's not. Go back and listen to some of the things Israeli hardliners have said. It's terrifying. I'm all for Israel doing what's necessary to defend itself, but I'm not naive about what this hardliner government wants. 

    Source? Because I've been hearing about the elimination of Israel for my whole life, not just a few Twitter morons.

    Minimally, to demoralize and wage of a war of attrition. Or to remove as many Palestinians as possible so they can completely take over the area. They want all of them gone. 

    Bullshit propaganda.

    or are we already at a point where the pain to correct the problem is just so great that no one will be able to support that change?

    My fear is that this is the answer. We have crossed the Rubicon in elections (probably when Bush Sr. said "no new taxes" and lost an election when he raised taxes). No one will get reelected for making sound fiscal policy and no one wants to lose a job that makes you millions per year.

    Does Israel negotiate with hostage takers? I feel like I’ve always heard that they do not, but that could just be lore.

    If you count "If you don't let them go we are going to shoot everyone" as negotiation, then sure.

    Entebbe is a great historical example.
