And most are not, so we just chalk up the majority, most women and childern, as collateral damage... brush May 9 #58

Hamas did not agree to a ceasefire. They tendered a counter proposal lapucelle May 9 #73

My point still exists. Further negotiations are closer to agreement on both side that ever before. brush May 9 #75

My resistance is to misinformation being repeated to the point where it becomes disinformation. lapucelle May 10 #76

Is a deal closer than ever now or not. It's certainly not time to star fighting/surging into Rafah again. brush May 10 #77

Hamas's propaganda concerning a ceasefire was called out by the US Department of State. lapucelle May 10 #78

Oh, please. Not a repeat of the same stuff you posted before to me. brush May 10 #79

Israeli spokesman on civilian casualties. David__77 May 9 #52

First statement says they don't target. But thanks for playing. AZLD4Candidate May 9 #57

He said he's not allowed to say how many civilians were killed. David__77 May 9 #64

Because there are no exact numbers. . .but if you trust Hamas to tell you accurate numbers, you do you. AZLD4Candidate May 9 #72

It's NOT genocide. More innocents than that dead in Ukraine. And Hamas' numbers include their own fighters... AnrothElf May 9 #43

We support Ukraine when they got attacked. AZLD4Candidate May 9 #56

DING DING DING DING DING!! AnrothElf May 9 #59

Joe had walked a tight rope with this war Johnny2X2X May 9 #40

Getting rid of their weapons smuggling tunnels is the key. (Heck Hamas is likely eating smuggled steak ) LeftInTX May 9 #65

The tunnels have been degraded a ton Johnny2X2X May 9 #66

The smuggling tunnels from Egypt are still intact. IDF just got into the Philadelphi Corridor on Tuesday. LeftInTX May 9 #67
