Democratic Staffers Told To Let Constant Calls For Cease-Fire ‘Go To Voicemail’
Congressional staff say the mood inside the Capitol is tense, stifling and bewildering as members brush off their constituents’ outrage.
Have they opened their borders to accept Palestinian refugees yet?No doubt the Arab nations will hold another talking shop within the next month or so, and tell us all again how terrible everyone but Hamas is.
WARNING: LOTS OF NSFW Language!

Oliver absolutely nails this from one end to the other.
Hmmm. Still works for me. It's Last Week Tonight entitled "Israel-Hamas War" on youtube.Link doesn't work...
Despite John Oliver being a Brit, the video isn't available here 'cos geoblocked.Hmmm. Still works for me. It's Last Week Tonight entitled "Israel-Hamas War" on youtube.
A case of the Brexits? Cause I can see it.Despite John Oliver being a Brit, the video isn't available here 'cos geoblocked.
More likely because it's yet to air on a channel over here.A case of the Brexits? Cause I can see it.
Ah. It seems that HBO streams it over here.More likely because it's yet to air on a channel over here.
Can you name one? Did you just confuse Iran with Arab countries?it's frankly appalling that the Arab nations can actually praise Hamas, and, far from advocating for peace, are actually calling for Hamas to be re-armed.![]()
Why would people be forced to vacate their lands and homes? If we're doing that, why don't you take back Israelis? I hear Hitler's not around anymore.Have they opened their borders to accept Palestinian refugees yet?
If you are forcing out all Israelis, then does that include all of the Jews that were driven out of their homes in the Middle East outside of Israel as a result of the 1948 war? Do they get to go back to their old homes and live peacefully?Can you name one? Did you just confuse Iran with Arab countries?

I'm not the one suggesting anybody should be forced out.If you are forcing out all Israelis, then does that include all of the Jews that were driven out of their homes in the Middle East outside of Israel as a result of the 1948 war? Do they get to go back to their old homes and live peacefully?
Countries who supported Iran's proposals include Syria, Algeria, Tunisia, Iraq, Lebanon, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Libya and Yemen, but they have at least not gone as far as Iran in explicitly naming or praising Hamas directly.Can you name one?
Yes, my bad. I should have said the states that attended the emergency summit in Saudi Arabia last week where Iran openly praised Hamas and put forward their proposals, which include arming Hamas.Did you just confuse Iran with Arab countries?
Uhh that's not what you said but okay. Can you at least edit your original post with a clarification at the end?

@Danoff I'll look out for the John Oliver bit when it becomes available here.

That's great but you never know when someone's going to stop scrolling. They could read your original post, think it's factual, stop, then go spread it around. It's quite a serious thing to say and have someone believe it to be true. Even accidentally.I admited the error in my next post,
Thanks.but I've amended my post in any case.
Just as there's plenty of Israelis who wish to see all Arabs dead. Just as there's plenty of Americans who wish to see all non-whites non-Christians dead. There's crazy and evil people everywhere. Be careful which voices you amplify and which ones you leave out.The fact is, however, that there are plenty of Arab people and even leaders who wish to see Hamas and other anti-Israeli groups to be armed
I don't want to get sidelined by the Hamas nonsense, but can I ask something? Have you ever wondered why? Do you want to take any guess other than thinking they're terrorists or Jew haters who want to see civilians dead?However, they also neglected to criticise Hamas for their murderous assault on Israel
FTFY.Unfortunately, however, right now the Palestinian people are caught between a disgusting and barbarous Hamas regime that actively wants them to suffer and die in order to weaken the standing of their opponents, and an Israeli regime thathas run out of patience with Hamas and who have scant regard for the safety of innocent Palestiniansfrothes at the mouth at any given opportunity to "defend itself" by doing some ethnic cleansing for more land.
I think very few people see Israel, particularly the current Netanyahu regime, as entirely innocent in provoking this conflict, but the fact remains that operation Al-aqsa flood, as it's been called, was aimed at killing as many civilians as possible to provoke a return invasion by Israel. It doesn't matter which side you are looking at it from, that's text book terrorism, plain and simple.I don't want to get sidelined by the Hamas nonsense, but can I ask something? Have you ever wondered why? Do you want to take any guess other than thinking they're terrorists or Jew haters who want to see civilians dead?
Of course, and I've always accepted that the Palestinian cause and their grievances against Israel are justified, but I've never accepted that murderous violence (on either side) is acceptable.Have you ever wondered why? Do you want to take any guess other than thinking they're terrorists or Jew haters who want to see civilians dead?
That's not the narrative they spread here. Believe it or not, they say exactly the same thing Israel is saying. "Palestine has the right defend itself" and they only targeted the military on October 7th. They claim the civilians deaths (which they allege were few) were caused some "crazy people" from within Gaza who took advantage of the border being open for hours, got inside and went to town.was aimed at killing as many civilians as possible
See above. Most Arabs you'll meet who don't "condemn Hamas", who aren't as many as you think anyway, are operating with a completely different set of facts. What makes Hamas' claims ring true is Israel's long history of crying wolf, exaggerating civilian deaths and flat out lying about some of the atrocities they've committed. It becomes to some, a matter of credibility. Israel has none in the Arab world. Not with Iran's sheeple or the average person.but I've never accepted that murderous violence (on either side) is acceptable
I'm going to hell because I immediately thought of this...![]()
