A Chicago-area landlord was arrested and charged with murder and hate crimes after authorities said he stabbed and killed a 6-year-old boy and seriously wounded his mother, allegedly because the tenants are Muslim.
The enthouisam of those Americans to see Palestinian children die in Gaza is just vile and disgusting.
The real irony is many of those same folks are anti-Jewish in nearly every other context.
I really hope that the more progressive and enlightened Americans can figure out how to get rid of it.
I thought a lot of this shit was settled already when I was a kid. Turns out it not only wasn’t, but we’ve managed to roll some things backwards since then. I waffle between being sure we’ve got the critical mass to make lasting change now and beingg sure my great grandkids are going to be fighting and arguing over all these same issues.

Yep. It’s not that conservatives give a shit about Jews; they very much don’t. What they care about is Israel existing as a precondition for Armageddon so that they can get Raptured. In other words, they’re psychopathic doomsday cultists and their support of Israel is purely selfish.
And that’s a pretty dumb caricature, too. People who don’t care about the world become hermits or monks, not terrorists. Do you think Hamas is just evil for no reason? They obviously care a great deal about what happens in the world, and it’s pretty obvious what their grievances are. I’m not excusing their actions, but I’m also not sympathetic to the people who’ve been running Israel, because Hamas is a problem they created through their own cruelty.
Thanks Republican party! Your rhetoric, bullshit, and gaslighting of your voters caused this.
Also Fox News.
And to be honest, the problem is much deeper.
America was founded on racism and slavery. The belief that white people are superior to brown and black people sits very deep with many Americans.

War is hell and Israel is teaching Palestine why it is.
Peace is also hell if you live in Palestine. Israel isn’t teaching them anything they didn’t already know.
Nothing that happens in this world matters if you’re Hamas, so anything goes.
Israel is attacking Gaza, not Hamas.

Oh no. They’re evil because they have selected an extraordinarily evil set of religious beliefs as basis.

They can declare all the war they want. What they are actually doing is cowardly murder.
You’re right. Unfortunately it wasn’t Palestine that attacked Israel, it was Hamas.
That’s like saying Germany didn’t attack Poland, only the Nazis did.
Say, if Palestine is being ruled by someone they don’t like then doesn’t that mean Israel are the liberators?
Hamas is the ruling party of Palestine, or at least the Gaza Strip. Therefore Palestine (or Gaza Strip at least) attacked Israel.
… And have been for over 60 years while they occupy their land.
Forgot that part. No biggie though, sure it was an honest mistake.
He’s 71 and obviously mentally ill. And yes, rightwing stochastic terrorism led him to this path.
