    That’s such wonderful news.

    Of course Joe Biden won’t get a lick of credit for it from “progressives”, Hamas apologists and Israel bashers because he didn’t try to force an immediate ceasefire on Bibi. He knows how diplomacy works and got it done.

    Hamas still needs to be obliterated.

        Just because someone calls themselves progressive doesn’t make them one. Sometimes they are just trying to sell bad ideas, like you are now.

          What Idea did I sell? That people who put quotes around a word to point out something is fake?

          You’re the one selling the idea that Hamas is a bunch of tagged enemies in a video game quest that blares out “Mission success” when you kill enough people.

          Hamas; like the Taliban, is an idea. Trying to put this flame out with indiscriminate violence is like fanning the coal in a kiln. Fanning with more intensity only going to strengthen the fire.

          You and people who don’t get this are calling progressives fake. Whereas the reality is that Israel either doesn’t understand this, or they simply don’t care about collateral because Netanyahu just wants to empty the contents of his closet into the rubble created by the IDF in gaza when everyone is distracted. (I am holding out hope as apparently, bibi’s approval is down).

          The only idea that any conservative of any religion is selling around the world right now is that Muslims are procreating faster than any other demographic and this is a cause for others to scrutinize and curtail this.

          Be warned: Fear is one of the main things that causes men to commit atrocities.

            Centrists found their equivalent of GWB apologists’ “terrorist sympathizer” and they’re gonna keep using it against progressives until it stops working.

            FFS. Hamas are terrorist assholes who rape and murder in the most vile ways. They represent no one and especially no ideas.

      I’ll credit him, provided this turns out to be what it says on the tin.

      But hey, you’ll keep calling anyone to the left of Joe Manchin a hamas apologist.
