Did you not read the comment of mine you previously replied to? Where I quoted from a Politico article?

The 500 number isn't volunteers, but "political appointees and staff members from 40 government agencies".

Yes, and states that the authenticity of those behind it were confirmed. So it's not "claims to be from 17 staffers", we know for a fact that it IS from 17 staffers. It is only anonymous to protect them from getting attacked from AIPAC and related groups, as they have been doing to anyone that criticizes Israel and has any prominence.

The letter is the latest example of internal rifts not just within the Democratic Party but within the Biden operation over how to approach the conflict. Since the fall, a flurry of protest letters — often written without names attached — have urged the president to support a ceasefire. In November, 500 political appointees and staff members from 40 government agencies anonymously signed one letter, while another letter included the names of over 500 alumni of Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign. White House interns also sent a letter to the president and staffers on Capitol Hill have also sent similar letters to their bosses. Biden supporters have raised questions about the veracity of those numbers, noting that the anonymity makes it impossible to confirm.

How about 500 people? Is that number more significant?

0.0044% of Gazans have been killed.

?????

The population of the Gaza Strip is just over 2 million (2.048). The amount of Gazans killed in the past three months is 22600, as of today. That is, by my math, 1.13% of the population that has been killed in those three months, or 1 out of every 100 people.

The letter was organized by campaign staffers. Five of them confirmed the authenticity of the letter to West Wing Playbook. Those staffers, who were granted anonymity because of their concern of backlash, said they were motivated to organize their letter out of a sense of moral responsibility.

Nice try though to ignore the issue.

So is the IDF Amalek in this case, killing all the women, children, and elderly by targeting the civilian safe areas?

Maybe it’s the same for legal name changes, I don’t know.

It is, I've done it. Any form of name change is just as easy to look up as marriage records, since changing your last name in the latter uses the same legal process as the former. Since it's still just a name change.

If the reason for this law is to not have someone change their name to hide some negative past from voters, a marriage name change is still just as concealing. Sally Smith to Sally Michaels when there are thousands of Sally's out there is just as much hiding as anything else.

Way more than two people. Nice try though to ignore the issue.

The leaders of Hamas aren't in Gaza and they never have been, so they really don't care or have any intention of surrendering. Furthermore, Hamas wasn't the only one involved in the kidnappings. A dozen other unrelated groups also kidnapped people on October 7th and Hamas has no control or knowledge of the whereabouts of those individuals.

here they were martyred anyway, in this 'safe' place, in the tent that my brother set up in this field."

At least 14 Palestinians, including nine children, were killed in strikes on al-Mawasi early on Thursday, according to the Hamas-run ministry of health in Gaza.

Um...the IDF has been actively bombing all the refugee camps and safe zones they've been telling everyone to go to for weeks,

Have you not been hearing about any of that?

I'm sorry that pushing for Biden to be a better person is such a problem for you. Trump is a monster, but that doesn't mean we should ignore everything Biden does and pretend he's perfect.

So, basically, you're saying we ignore everything Biden does, no matter how terrible, and not bring up that maybe he should be better?

I'm sorry that reporting factual information is such a problem for you. Disliking Trump and Republicans in general is not a reason for me to be purposefully blind to the actions of those I do support.

They actively claim all Palestinians are Hamas because they refuse to acknowledge that they're supporting active ethnic cleansing.

It's kind of like how conservative voters pretend they aren't supporting very open and blatant bigots.

The best result would be Hamas and the IDF disappearing from the world, but I doubt either of those things will happen.

The latter for obvious reasons, the former because the many orphaned children now have good (and, honestly, legitimate) reason to hate Israel.
