"Tribal?" A lot of Democrats supported this, it seems like a rare example of bipartisan cooperation to me. Why do you think it's an example of tribalism?
Can you share some links to these posts that support Hamas? Are they generally up-voted, or down-voted? There are trolls on every platform.
But you don't really care about Palestinian civilians, you only care about hating Israel.
Making these kinds of strawman, ad-hominem attacks against me makes me very hesitant to engage in any kind of serious conversation with you, but maybe that's your intent? I am certain I haven't said anything that would make anyone think I hate Isreal.
What are you talking about? No one is defending Hamas.
maximizing your own civilian casualties to dissuade attack
The civilians do not belong to Hamas. What exactly do you mean by "your own civilian casualties?"
So by Hamas operating out of schools, mosques, refugee camps, hospitals, and other civilian areas, they are the ones responsible for those civilian deaths, because they are putting civilians in harms way.
No. Whoever killed the innocent people is responsible.
Yes, it is. That’s how POTUS decides how to proceed in international affairs. It’s not just some shot from the hip.
Are you saying all US presidents react to intelligence reports in the same way? That's ridiculous. When candidates are campaigning for the office of POTUS they normally publicize the international policy that they intend to enforce. And each candidate has a unique view on international politics, even within the same party.
You don't honestly believe both Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump would act the same as Joe Biden in response to Blinkens' intelligence reports, do you?
The evidence that makes the difference between conclusive and inconclusive could easily be classified. In which case it wouldn't be shared with the public.
I don't think you're being downvoted because anyone disagrees with you. Of course the terrorist organization should stop terrorizing people. But your comment really comes across as apologizing for the civilian deaths.
And if you don't want to cook for yourself, at least go to a local take-out restaurant that probably costs less than the shitty fast food, even if you have to wait a few more minutes for it.
If freedom of speech only applies to "acceptable" speech, then it isn't really freedom of speech.
