But can those shelters house the ridiculous amount of civilians in Gaza? I don't see how they could build these things at a large enough scale to house Gazan civilians, not to mention they'd be bombed first thing because they're "Hamas headquarters". At least Israel can't use bunker busters on hospitals and UN schools (hopefully).

How do you expect Hamas to build bomb shelters? Setting aside how Israel has bunker busters and has been using them in Gaza, because of Israel's blockade things that you'd normally need to make a bomb shelter (or any decent structure) are unavailable. It's to the point UNRWA is teaching Gazans how to build houses using mud.

Adding to the other guy, it's usually used to mean "may Allah enact justice on this person".

It doesn't but it doesn't cause harm either.

The IDF was created by merging a few pre-existent Zionist militias. The people who did the Nakba didn't come out of thin air; they were just busy terrorizing Arabs and the British.

Also I mentioned 1917 because Israel was a settler colonialist project from the start. They didn't just go "Oh no I accidentally ethnically cleansed Palestine"; they knew that the only way to have a Jewish state with "as many Jews and as few Palestinians as possible" (actually quoting early Zionist/Israeli leadership here) was to steal Palestinian land and kick them out, so that's what they did.

I’m sure they are, along with every other nation that does trade on the Red Sea.

Israel particularly is dependent on red sea trade, since it's literally next to them. Again, I do acknowledge they're too indiscriminate, but you can't deny the results.

Uh... There was an ongoing US-Saudi genocide against Yemen in 2016.

They're too indiscriminate, that's for sure, but to say none of the ships they're attacking have anything to do with Israel is just wrong. Israel is currently freaking out over the lack of Red Sea trade.

Not really. They've always (for more than 100 years) been like this. This nonsense didn't start now.

Israelis overwhelmingly support this "war", though. Not to mention the Israeli right is growing, not shrinking.

Before they can defeat Hamas wipe out Gaza.

Israel has become its own Golem.

Always has been.

I'm not with the communist crowd, but a significant fraction of the global population would be better off with China in control of world affairs. I sure as hell wouldn't want to be an East Asian in that world, but the Middle East and Africa for starters would definitely be better than they are now.

That's true but that's not stopping Muslims (particularly in Michigan) from running dropping Biden, or even voting for Trump, campaigns. The idea is to show Biden that they're not all talk, but either way his reaction tells us he doesn't "know" anything.

“he’s to blame for funding Hamas, causing suffering and devastation to an entire peoples allowing them to become so desperate they act radically”.

The order of operations here is a bit wrong (he funded Hamas and caused suffering and devastation. Not that Hamas is a good government, but he did a whole lot more than just fund Hamas).

That's the biggest copium I've seen today.

You want 1917 and yes, at least in the Middle East anti-Semitism soared after that.

Jews are victims of genocide but that doesn’t seem to stop anyone from accusing them of it when it’s far less than what they’ve done is far less than what the Houthis have done.

You're disgusting.

A recent U.S. intelligence estimate indicated that Israel’s current weapons stockpiles only enables it to wage war against Gaza for an additional 19 weeks

Literally from the article.

Also maybe other countries would help Palestine if it wasn't for America's meddling in the region. They put aircraft carriers there specifically so nobody comes to the Palestinians' aid.

Sure but calling them genocidal is downright wrong and in very poor taste given that they're actual victims of genocide.
