Gaza is literally surrounded by walls, except for their coastline which is heavily policed and any boat straying out of the approved waters gets immediately fired upon by the IDF. There are only two active crossings, one controlled by Egypt, the other Israel. The people of Gaza cannot leave. Israel controls everything…

I would generally say a nation state has more of a responsibility to midigate innocents being harmed than a terrorist group. Seems a lot of people don’t agree.

Or are you just fine turning a blind eye to Jewish babies being butchered in their homes?

Well, not before the US stops blocking the UN from doing anything about it (I think the UK and France do occasionally as well).

That is a total mischaracterization of what she did.  She condemned killing of innocents by anyone.  How on earth is that a controversial take?

When the UN gets an army, maybe. 

Those are perfectly reasonable takes she’s expressing, they are deliberately making them into something they are not. I guess they need another way to justify killing Palestinian babies, all of whom are apparently card carrying members of Hamas.

Um, anything less is clearly anti-semitism and Hadid is clearly a code name for Hitler.  I mean right?  That’s certainly what I hear and read whenever I say anything or see anything remotely negative towards Israel in any way.

As a Palestinian-American who’s father’s family was forced to flee the country in 1948, I am not sure how they anticipated she would react? Full throated endorsement of the IDF planning an invasion of Gaza?

Israel is an Apartheid state.

This is the same Israeli government that equates periodically slaughtering thousands of innocent Gazans to some moderate yardwork, right? Despicable.

Oh I think it’s very clear why they are doing this. Old Benji wants a genocide and the Israeli government can’t let all these high visibility celebrities influence their followers with things like reason and empathy. It unmuddies the water they’ve worked so hard to keep dirty. I can’t begin to tell you how many people…

“I remember my heart piercing, my heart cracking, and I remember my feelings being so hurt. And then I remember being able to smile and wish him well at the same time.”

The issue is not the separation but the lies.

Re Mr. Hamel’s sentiments: My late husband and I used to muse that we’re both embarrassed about how we each thought we loved someone else before we met. We both agreed that the ease of loving was what made a huge difference.

I’ll say it again....Jada seems like an eternal shitpot stirrer. It’s been month after month of ‘I don’t see myself in the rags, better say something....’

Jada has spent the last few years reinventing herself as some kind of self-help/therapy/lifestyle/relationship podcaster which is wholly predicated on her being open and honest in her frank discussions about real topics. We now learn that all of her relationship talk has been founded on a gigantic lie. Why should we…

Will sounds like a cult member reading a letter to their parents saying “I’m safe”.

I agree that iSrael has contributed to the cycle of violence, but iSrael isn’t targeting civilians

If a person purposely fails to understand that “Israel as a people” are different than “Israel as a government” then it becomes easy to lie about someone like Tlaib and then misconstrue what she said for a gotcha sound bite.
