Israel vs Hamas (2 Viewers)

Looks like the fight is on with Israeli soldiers and civilians amongst the dead already. Question becomes, how long before we get dragged into this?

Netanyahu says Israel is ‘at war’ after Hamas launches surprise attack, takes hostages | CNN

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that the country was “at war” on Saturday, after Palestinian militants in Gaza fired a deadly barrage of rockets and sent gunmen into Israeli territory in a major escalation of the long running conflict between the two sides.

Maybe I missed it, but where did Massie blame Biden and Democrats for Netanyahu's visit?

Does the undertaking of "political theatre on the behalf of the State Dept" ring any bells?

I wish Massie was my Congressman

Maybe I missed it, but where did Massie blame Biden and Democrats for Netanyahu's visit?

So the State Department only has Democrats? He's criticized the Republicans many times for their support and idiotic bills they have passed like the one about antisemitism. He said Republicans in the House all have AIPAC guys they talk to. He's voted against all the money going to Israel.

State Department is run by the Secretary of State which is part of the executive branch. He didn’t say because congressional leaders asked him to speak. He said state department.

It's not just "useful idiots" that have an issue with Netanyahu. A group of former Israeli leadership and other prominent Israelis who are most certainly not idiots criticized Netanyahu. Why worry about what Americans did or didn't show up to listen to Netanyahu speak when Israel is no where near united behind Netanyahu?

Israeli former national security officials and business leaders blast Netanyahu ahead of his speech to Congress | CNN Politics

A group of senior Israeli figures including former national security officials, academics and business leaders have sent US congressional leadership a blistering letter accusing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is set to speak to Congress on Wednesday, of threatening both Israeli...

Yeah I get that. He specified the State Department and DJ claimed he said Biden and Democrats.

He should have never been invited to speak after the genocide in Gaza.

Netanyahu is now the representation of wokeness? But wait, isn't it always left leaning protesters that are woke?

Lee Fang gets dumber and dumber with every tweet.

I could agree with the 2nd Tweet but the 1st asinine tweet compels me to ignore anything he has to say on any subject.

It's amazing how similar his speech was to some of the characteristics of wokeness although I understand that comparison might seem odd.

It’s testimonials like this and from other aid workers that makes me incredulous about Israeli and IDF assertions that they are not targeting civilians. Is the US investigating any of these assertions from independent observers? We should be demanding that before sending them more weapons.

It seems Israel is doing to the Palestinians what the Nazis did to them.. Israel had the right to attack Hamas in response, but they have gone way past their right. Surely Israel can put up defenses to prevent another Oct 7th without continuing the massacre. If they agreed that they wouldn’t restart the attacks after getting the hostages back, I think Hamas would agree to return the hostages. That goal is achievable, but they have created so much hatred that it will be impossible to eliminate Hamas. They need to accept controlling them, not eliminating them, and then make it known that they will punish future attacks. Palestinians will still want death to Israel more than ever because of Israel’s brutality, but Israel can prevent them from acting on that hatred that they exacerbated.

I'm not a fan of hers, but good for her to make her displeasure known. I'm not a fan of Bibi and I'm not at all thrilled he's speaking from the floor of Congress. Whoever invited him here needs to do some serious self-reflection.

I still view Israel as an ally, but that relationship is strained imo.

"Useful Idiots"

^ so based on those two words, I did a google search and came across this: During an address to Congress Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called out Iran for “funding and promoting anti-Israel protest in America.” Netanyahu went on to call protesters, “Iran’s useful idiots.”

weird he should make such accusations, considering AIPAC exists, but I guess (as with many republicans as well) it is only okay when his side does it

It's funny/terrifying how easily some people can be manipulated into repeating the thoughts of others. I expect this phrase to populate all right-wing media sources much like their other recent favorite, "lawfare".

It's also ignoring the fact that Netanyahu specifically and Israeli right wingers in general are known to have their people infiltrate and agitate groups they want to discredit into vandalism and violence.

It's possible that some of those people in those photos and that some of those who did some of the stuff in those photos were working for Netanyahu and Israeli right wingers.

[MOD EDIT: Simply prefacing your post with "Useful Idiots" does not provide good context. Please add sufficient context, for example, your opinion, to posts containing media. -Andrus"]

Hey Andrus - I figured the context was fairly obvious given the events and comments by BN.... And I am by no means some big supporter of BN or all his actions...

That said, when you have people attacking LEOs, defacing / destroying property (Hamas is coming? / Abolish the USA?), touting a "final solution" for Jews, and flying the banner of a terrorist organization (Hamas)... all while American citizens and other innocents are still being held hostage by said terrorist organization... I think his characterization of "useful idiots" referencing those specific people... is more than apt... and didn't think it required a lot of context.
