39. Why are you holding Netanyahu to the same standard as Hamas?

May 8

Do we demand no better from our lavishly-funded allies?

The reality is that the hostages are indeed likely dead, some of them even through IDF action. So what then? Does Netanyahu continue killing civilians until the hostages are no longer dead?

Hamas must be destroyed, but no one has explained how killing Palestinian children will achieve that.

It's a shame that Netanyahu is totally under Hamas control, then Orrex May 8 #32

A good question to ask JustAnotherGen May 8 #33

Why are you holding Netanyahu to the same standard as Hamas? Orrex May 8 #39

Wait - I've read on this board JustAnotherGen May 8 #47

Hamas is endlessly blamed for every death in this conflict Orrex May 8 #69

They killed some of the hostages before they took them into Gaza LeftInTX May 8 #71

I'm sure that they did, and I'm sure that they killed more in the weeks following Orrex May 8 #74

IDF has retrieved/exhumed these bodies from Gaza themselves. My hunch is, they have informants pointing to graves. LeftInTX May 8 #75

Then that might be the best path forward Orrex May 8 #83

Not at all. Can you see however supporters of Palestinians use Gaza as an EXCUSE to piss on the HOLOCAUST? sarisataka May 8 #26
