Discussion: Thousands Wounded, 58 Dead After Monday's Fighting At The Gaza Border

The word ā€œfightingā€ usually implies some equal footing between the capacity of each side to engage in conflict.

I read that the Palestinians lit a kite on fire and sent it over the wall. In the eyes of the media I think that counts.

I thought Jared was going to fix that.

Howā€™s the whole ā€˜move the Embassy to Jerusalem thingā€™ working out so far?
Add dropping out of the Iran nuclear deal and weā€™re talking real Middle East peace.

But, thereā€™s always North Korea ā€¦ where you can give Kim everything he has wanted.

ā€œNow, I have to tell you, itā€™s an unbelievably complex subject. Nobody knew (middle east politics) could be so complicated.ā€

Ditto ā€œborder clashes.ā€ Thereā€™s no way that doesnā€™t mean two-way fighting. But it was strictly one-way, as far as I can tell - last time I checked, Israeli casualties were zero.

Shoot thousands, kill dozens, just to make sure no Palestinian gets close enough to throw a rock at an Israeli soldier.

When I was in Hebrew school, we were force-fed propaganda, so that we could engage in the rhetorical self-pleasuring of defending Israelā€™s behavior toward the Palestinians. Iā€™m glad I donā€™t have to play that game any more.

You canā€™t have biblical prophesies fulfilled without at least some blood spilled. Read the book of Joshua for some ethnic cleansing motivation.

Well, this makes me feel so good to see that Kushner has done such a fabulous job of solving the Middle East problem and bringing lasting peace to the region.

Yup. Heck of a job, Jared. Oh, yeah, Dotard deserves some of the credit too ā€“ this will surely count towards his Noble Peace nomination.

(Excuse me, gotta go take some painkillers for my jaw aching from grinding my teeth and for my head from banging it on the tableā€¦)

Yeah it seems a lot of the reasons why Israel said they had to shoot people could of been solved with a fire truck. Oh noā€¦ a flaming tire, spray with water and your done. But instead it seems like they have been sniping people in the leg (my guess is they are told to aim for the legs to keep the body count down but cripple protesters).

We can expect peace in the Middle East about as soon as we can expect Jared to fill out his security clearance form without ā€œerrors.ā€

At least they were able to scoop up another bag oā€™cash from Sheldon Adelson and slap another Trump plaque on a new building. Thatā€™s what really counts, isnā€™t it?

Yeah, well with those precision weapons they managed to cripple women, children, journalists, and medics, too.

Not really a humanitarian gesture, I guess.

So Trump sends step son to middle east to negotiate real estate deals and calls it ā€˜peace negotiationsā€™.

Pulls out of nuclear deal saying Iran is violating it even though no allies or intel service believes that but conservative media will support and repeat the narrative to the base.

Move embassy to Jerusalem thus causing Palestinians to rise up.

Then watchā€¦ Blame Iran for Palestinian uprising?

Step five? Get war with Iranā€¦ Make Bolton happyā€¦Become war time presidentā€¦

And he would have gotten away with it, if it wasnā€™t for those pesky dems whoā€¦ Oh wait heā€™ll completely get away with it because liberals gave up on messaging decades ago and Dem leadership is either inept or like Schumer completely supports antagonizing Palestinians and arabs just like Trump.
