Meanwhile Biden is uncapping his pen to sign a deal to sell more bombs to Israel.
Also meanwhile, the one truly selfless hero and patriot that could save us all lies bleeding, possibly even earless, in Pennsylvania. WWIII* could be just a heartbeat away.
*Actually World War 1, since the first two wars mis-using that title weren't truly worldwide.
I tell you, every knee will bend at the sound of my name. Every mouth confess that I am Lord and King over all. My reign shall come and to some by surprise. I am the thief that no one knows the hour of my coming. I am the Lord God of Israel and of things here and below and of things unseen too many. I am the Eternal God and the only God who creates. I am the one all should seek and want to be with. Draw closer to me. Come closer and you shall see the face of God. I am true and living one with the Father Almighty. Seek my face and live. I am the Eternal King of all, do not wait to come to me, I AM. Seek me and you will find all you need in me.
In your hypothetical example of a sniper in a house, are you supporting the IDF tactic of simply bombing the entire street until you can't see anything moving?
As much as the US/UK invasion of Iraq was diabolical and resulted in 1 million+ deaths in total, even the US military (not exactly known for being clinical) managed to invade and capture cities without nearly the level of civilian death or displacement that the IDF is causing in Gaza.
The ruthlessness of the Hamas terrorist attack on civilians which included torture, rape, murdering babies and the elderly on October 7th, was sickening....what did you expect? Ceasefire negotiations the following day?
The savagery resulted in a retaliation of revenge! What did the people of Gaza expected? Hamas and their followers got their just desserts. To bad so many civilians had to pay with their lives.
Ruthless terrorists? Just desserts? So... what's the difference? I guess all killers have there reasons... and no victim is ever innocent, ...just dead.
When you put that way, it does almost sound like justice...
Who knows, maybe such virtue will come your way some time soon? Keep your fingers crossed.
German and Japanese civilians received their just desserts during World War II. They supported the massacre of civilians when they invaded their neighbors.
You reap what you sow
Then I will presume you also apply that same logic to every murder, rape, disfigurement, abortion, torture, genocide, holocaust, and enslavement in history. The only logical alternative would be some form of double-standard bias, bigotry, and hypocrisy.
I'm giving this post a bump because it should not be forgotten. This exchange fully displays P-Rat's fundamental nature composed of equal parts hypocrisy and sadism.
The UN's top court has ruled that Israel's occupation of East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza is illegal and must cease:
The ICJ, based at The Hague in the Netherlands, has been examining the issue since the beginning of last year, at the request of the UN General Assembly, external.
The court was specifically asked to give its view on Israel's policies and practices towards the Palestinians, and on the legal status of the occupation.
Delivering the court's findings, ICJ President Nawaf Salam said it had found that "Israel's... continued presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory is illegal."
"The State of Israel is under the obligation to bring an end to its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory as rapidly as possible," he said.
Ongoing Israeli bombardments have today killed at least 39 people, including 10 killed in a bombing run on a refugee camp and the family of a journalist killed after their home was bombed:
An Israeli bombing run on a school has killed 30+ people last night.
The Israeli military has declared that it did nothing wrong because just before it started bombing it told civilians to flee to al-Mawadi humanitarian zone, a zone that Israel recently bombed killing over 90 civilians and that no right-thinking person would consider safe:

The bombing of the journalist's house means 161 Palestinian journalists have now been killed by the Israeli military during their invasion.
How about this ralf. HAMAS asks for a truce and tells the world it will recognize Israel right to exist and will release all Israeli and American hostages immediately.
The alternative is continued bombardment of Gaza. This war will continue and HAMAS will hide behind civilians as they always has.
Neither Netanyahu or HAMAS are interested in peace. They might as well kill each other and let God sort them out. The Palestinians need to rise up against HAMAS or watch the lives of their children and grandchildren being extinguished for some stupid ideology. Israel will eventually rid itself of Netanyahu and his idiotic policies which led to HAMAS to go on a inhuman rampage of rapes and murders.
Kamala Harris keeps moving in this direction I might consider voting for her. Even a slight adjustment in U.S. policy could be enough to end Israel as we know it, so dependent has it become.
Harrisā forceful remarks on Thursday, which were sharp and serious in tone, reflected what might mark a departure from Biden in how she deals with Netanyahu. Some noted the significance of Harris being the one to give public remarks after both she and Biden had separately met the prime minister.
During the meeting, Harris brought up the repeated displacement of Palestinians since the start of the war, sparked by Hamasās attack on southern Israel on 7 October in which 1,200 people, mostly civilians, were killed and 250 hostages were taken.

Are you arguing the US should get involved in overthrowing yet another democratically elected leader of a foreign country?

Israeli terror troops are now attacking True Jews. The Zionist state unleashed club-swinging ogres on horseback to attack hundreds of Haredi protesting outside an IDF base. The Haredi are the Jews of the Bible and they oppose the entity that is pretending to be the Biblical Israel.

Japan have also barred the Israeli ambassador from attending an upcoming ceremony marking the anniversary of Nagasaki's bombing.
Even a country whose leaders still regularly honour war criminals (at the Yasukuni Shrine) draw the line at spending time in the company of Israel's genocidal officials.
Palestinians murdered by Israel during its ongoing illegal invasion of Gaza: 52,535*
Today the Israeli military has bombed a school being used as a shelter for displaced people, while morning prayers were taking place. At least 100 people have been confirmed dead already:

Are these the crappy Jews that Trump mentions?
No, Trump is a Zionist, unfortunately, like most Republicans. He supports Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, arms to Israel, and the existence of Israel.
Haredi Jews oppose Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, oppose the IDF, and oppose the very existence of the State of Israel.
This is one reason I'm enthusiastic about either U.S. election outcome. While I want Trump to win, the shifting sympathies of the Democratic base - more support the Palestinians than the Zionists than at any time in history - means that a Harris win will likely start the stopwatch to the eventual extinction of the Israeli state.
Not right away, but within a decade we will have at least one of the two major parties openly Anti-Zionist as part of its platform if Harris wins. Indeed, I will probably, personally, switch back to the Democrats if Harris wins for this one reason since I'm basically a two-issue voter and one of those issues is the end of Israel.
