    Attacking civilians is also plain and simple terrorism

    So we’re in agreement that this is essentially two terrorist states fighting each other? And the biggest losers in all of this will be the innocent Israeli and Palestinian citizens who just want to live their lives in peace. Meanwhile Hamas and the Israeli state get to go back and forth playing the their sick game of race-to-the-bottom-of-the-morality-barrel trying to blow each other to smithereens.

      If you’re 93 today, then you were about 18 years old when Israel became an autonomous nation (in 1948). Before that time, the Jews in the area were simply terrorists without a state.

        I’m glad you know that Israel was formed in 1948 but your grasp on the rest of the history is poor.

          Feel terror, make counter terror…

          Wait, isn’t this a popular valve game that is about to get a 3?

          I was talking about before that, but in general, I’ll just say that whatever the truth is, you should simply accept as the truth. There were certainly refugees from the holocaust who became literal terrorists, and the idea that your faux outrage is more important than truth is repugnant.

      Yup.

      But don’t forget. They are deploying 1 time use type armament, so they are also getting subsidized to keep weapon makers profitable.
