again - this is nonsense from misunderstanding how is it to live under rockets, constantly.

Gaza is not a country, your comparison to Ukraine is irrelevant.
our country not being in a existential crisis by Gaza is also irrelevant.

a proportional response by the standards you seek is something you can't grasp if you are unfamiliar with Gaza and the bank, inexperienced and never was a soldier on an active level..

it's o.k and i don't mean to bash you, some politicians in my country are the same thing.. they are posting nonsense like "just nuke Gaza" , just "conquer it" and the other side is "use proportions"..

seems to me there is a meaningful gap ( i see it over and over ) for outsiders and their brilliant irrelevant to the reality in here ideas.

that's gotta suck if true

Seeing reports that the IDF bombed the Al-Ahly Arab Hospital. 1000+ reported dead, 600+ reported injured.

Seems IDF rationale is that Hamas was operating from within the hospital.

Edit: But also hearing claims that it was actually a Hamas bombing as a result of a misfiring rocket. Lots of misinformation circling around online. Difficult to make sense of what exactly happened.

Me, waiting for dust to settle and fog of war to dissipate so we can get a decent idea of what actually happened with the hospital that blew up before jumping to some conclusion about it:

it's not that i like to repeat myself, but it's not the question of truth, it's a question of understanding the difference between an Israeli air-strike and a failed-missile from a barrage of missiles.

in this case, it's the second option. mainly out of checking the facts, the timing, and.. i watched i several times over and over. it's a fucking missile, simply as that.

If there's only 168 million taxpayers and only about half of them are a net positive income for the state, that's about $1200 extra per person we're each forking over

probably no added tax, just more printing which destroys those without assets the hardest

Well that clears that up.

You said so, so thats it :wacko:

On one hand you can argue that money printing is a flat tax across the board in the long run as we saw with inflation finally catching up to the M2
but on the other hand who winds up paying for those without assets? the taxpayers

yeah, both sides engage in blatant war propaganda. very difficult to tell who actually bombed the hospitals and also the "evacuation" /ethnic cleansing routes.

only one thing seems certain: thousands of innocent palestinians have already died, and thousands more will, vastly outnumbering the death toll of what israel's apartheid government likes to call the largest terror attack since the yom kippur war.
my guess is that the IDF will keep slaughtering, starving, and terrorising women and children at least until they reached their usual rate of over twenty to one...
