Another calm rational explanation of what is happening and the probable reasons why. The video details of the clear attempt of Israel to reclaim the land for its own use, removing all Palestinians from Gaza. Hugs. Scottie
Fox News host Sean Hannity reacted to the news that Issue 1, the Ohio abortion ballot measure was adopted. Hannity said that Democrats are “…trying to scare women into thinking Republicans don’t want abortion legal under any circumstances.”
In 2008, GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson said in a radio interview that the fall of Rome, per some historians, was attributed to “…not only the deprivation of the society and the loss of morals, but also to the rampant homosexual behavior that was condoned by the society.”
Sam Seder and Emma Vigeland examine the absurdity of recent attempts to paint the US as having a lack of leverage over Israel, walk through the practicalities of a ceasefire and what an attempt to actually dismantle Hamas would look like (if Israel or Biden cared).
Counterpoints’ Ryan Grim and Emily Jashinsky asked Rand Paul for his response to the israel/Gaza conflict after the October 7th attack by Hamas. Paul acknowledges that Israel’s response could potentially radicalize more people to resist violently and resist coming to a diplomatic conclusion.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau almost, accidentally, voiced support for a ceasefire while answering a question during a leader’s summit in Washington DC. This while marches took place worldwide in support of ceasefire.
I want to thank Ten Bears for the link to this article. Look Israel is destroying entire city blocks full of people, civilians, children just to get one or two people they don’t even know are there. How is that in any way justifiable? The police suspect a criminal in an apartment building so they bomb the entire building killing everyone in the complex? Do you support that? How many civilian Palestinians need to die to equal the harm that was done by Hamas? 10,000 civilian Palestinians dead to the Israeli 1,400 dead. And the Palestinian death toll keeps rising. Bibi says no cease fire or humanitarian pause is because Israel might lose the world’s support to keep destroying Gaza and taking the land. Hugs. Scottie

The Israeli air force says it has once again attacked hundreds of targets in the Gaza Strip and killed several Hamas commanders.
Around 450 targets were bombed from the air in the past 24 hours, the army said on Monday morning. These included tunnels, military installations and launching pads for anti-tank missiles.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) also said troops had taken over a military complex on the ground. According to the military, “several Hamas terrorists” were killed during the operation.
Observation posts, training areas and tunnels are said to have been located on the site. The information could not be verified independently.
The Islamist Hamas movement, which has ruled Gaza since 2007, is classified as a terrorist organization by the EU and the US.
The military also reported attacks by the Israeli navy on command centres, anti-tank missile launching posts and other Hamas observation posts.
Hamas member Jamal Mussa was killed during the operations. He is said to have been responsible for “special security operations” and to have “carried out a shooting attack” on Israeli soldiers in the border area in 1993. The statement did not specify whether any soldiers were killed.
The current fighting started after the Palestinian Islamist Hamas movement launched a terrorist attack from the Gaza Strip against Israel on October 7, killing 1,400 mainly civilians and taking some 240 people hostage.
Israel then launched a retaliatory bombing campaign to eliminate Hamas that has killed at least 9,770 Palestinians in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run Health Ministry there.

23-year-old Democratic voter Atong Chan got into a heated exchange after she challenged Democratic primary candidate Dean Phillips on his opposition to a ceasefire.
During an appearance on CNN with Wolf Blitzer, an IDF official admitted to intentionally striking the Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza where hundreds of civilians were located. I discuss the details of that event, the response from Democratic leadership, how Biden’s position is affecting his poll numbers, a reaction from Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, and a lot more.
A clear rational straight forward description of what Israeli military is doing. Please look at the before and after photos of entire cities, or entire city blocks flattened. Remember all the buildings had children, half the population of Gaza is children! One of the Israeli government claims there are no civilians in Gaza, just terrorists. All the people are dehumanized so that the military has support to kill all the people. Why is Israel attacking the West Bank, where there is no Hamas in charge? Simply because they can kill Palestinians with world support and get more of the land. The world, the US must stop this, must use all pressure to stop Israel. Please listen to the video. Hugs.

While countless human rights groups call for a ceasefire between Israel and Gaza, Hillary Clinton, and many in power like her, are on the wrong side of history.
The republicans are on a non-stop attack on her, but she is correct. They just don’t like that her message is the truth, and it is correct. Hugs. Scottie
