Ron DeSantis is offering an unambiguous take on the Israel-Hamas war and civilian casualties on the Gaza Strip.
“Israel is telling people in the Gaza Strip to leave the areas that they’re telling them they’re going to go in and conduct operations on,” DeSantis said Saturday. “Hamas is telling those people to stay so that they’re used as human shields.”
“That is Hamas’ fault if they’re killed,” he added. “It is not Israel’s fault if they are killed.”
DeSantis made the comments during a town hall event in Council Bluffs, Iowa, which was hosted by his supportive Never Back Down super PAC.
The Governor, who made seven stops in Iowa on Saturday, has made a strong defense of the Israeli position central to those remarks. As he had already said on Saturday, he told Council Bluffs supporters that he did not want people from Gaza brought to this country, and drew parallels between security gaps at the Mexican border and issues in the Middle East.
CNN reports a total of 29 confirmed American deaths in the wake of Hamas’ attacks last weekend and the subsequent Israeli response, with 16 American citizens and residents still missing.
Meanwhile, 1,300 Israelis are confirmed dead, with 150 more taken hostage by Hamas. And 2,000 Palestinians have also perished since Hamas escalated hostilities with their attacks on Israeli civilians earlier this month.

Israelis are reportedly blood-lusting for revenge.
They are a bit prone to that.
Too Old Testament.
Like many conservatives.

I had it just as an idle crazy idea for these deranged times.
But it just was announced.
Israel claimes to have found thè “PROTOCOL” of Hamas!!
That’s the actual word used.
Could the title be, Protocols of the Learned Eldeŕs of Hamas?
What next, the Blood Libel?

Geeze. First, some Jews decided to create Israel by seizing Palestine’s land and resources and killing hundreds of thousands of residents, then after more wars, Israel decided to allow some of those who survived to live in two camps including Gaza. Next, some of the unhappy refugees banded together to attack Israel, some not all, mind you. After that, Israel ordered a million or so refugees to leave North Gaza, without anyplace to go and with no food, water or fuel. Now, Israel is going to level Gaza and kill as many people as possible. Heartless Rona is a big cheerleader for this genocide and doesn’t even think that any of these poor refugees should be allowed in our Country even if they are anti-Hamas. Lovely. WTF

People forget that it was Zionist terrorist groups that helpèd create and shape Israel. Irgun and Sfern Gamgs and others. Irģun I believe became Likud, Netanyahoo’s party.
Peoplè also forget that Israel helped support and buiĺd Hamas., as a counter to the Palastinian Authority

Let’s recall, for a moment, how Bush&Cheney took the US into wars on two fronts. Which many of us did not support.
And how there was the occasional(!) collateral damage.
In short, there are many sheep to be shorn by the violent, unscrupulous, and arrogant among us.
