  • November 13–22, 2023: Additional 1000 rockets and mortar shells launched at Israel, amounting to more than 10,500 since the beginning of October, with the rate of failed launches that fell in the Gaza Strip and the sea back to 10%.
10,500 rocket attacks on Israel in less than 60 days. Rocket launch sites based in schools, Hospitals and neighborhoods -

Read here additionally -


Every one of those attacks were on civilian population centers - hospitals, homes, schools, market places -

The Palestinians have been offered and rejected a two state solution

They do not want peace - they want the destruction and elimination of the Jews -


Since its creation in December 1987, Hamas has invoked militant interpretations of Islam to spearhead a Sunni extremist movement committed to destroying Israel
“The state will come from resistance, not negotiation. Liberation first, then statehood. Palestine is ours from the river to the sea and from the south to the north,” he said in a speech. “There will be no concession on any inch of the land. We will never recognize the legitimacy of the Israeli occupation, and therefore there is no legitimacy for Israel… We will free Jerusalem inch by inch, stone by stone. Israel has no right to be in Jerusalem.”​

“Hamas rejects any alternative to the full and complete liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea. (that is the whole of Israel)​

They have been offered a two state solution numerous times - always rejected - they don't want compromise - they don't want peace - they want the destruction of Israel.

How much damage was done? Why were we not shown pictures?) Have they continued?

Did the damage done justify cities leveled and over 30,000 killed?

We realize Israel's response was justified. It's the proportionality that concerns us.

There are hundreds of photos of the over 10,000 rockets fired into Israel.

There is historical proof of the Palestinians, through their leadership calling for the destruction of the Jews - there are multiple statements from the Palestinian leadership stating they will never negotiate - there is historical documents showing the Palestinians turning down two state solutions time after time.

This one, Getty Images May 20 appears to be in Gaza, a present from Israel:
The date of the image is May 20 which is way before the Oct 7 attack.

There are hundreds of photos of the over 10,000 rockets fired into Israel.
And vice versa.

There is historical proof of the Palestinians, through their leadership calling for the destruction of the Jews - there are multiple statements from the Palestinian leadership stating they will never negotiate - there is historical documents showing the Palestinians turning down two state solutions time after time.
If all Gazans and Palestinians, including the children, are responsible for Hamas leadership, then aren't all Jews equally responsible for Zionist terrorism and settler attacks?

Show me evidence that the majority of Palestinians don't want genocide against the Jews, and that they actually like the Jews, and then maybe I'll feel sorry for them.

...In the meantime, I'm going to carry on supporting Israel's bombing campaign.

Do you think the Palestinians will think twice next time they get the urge to commit a terrorist attack against innocent Israeli citizens?

...That's why the proportionality factor is so important. If 1,000 dead Jews equals 30,000 dead Palestinians, maybe they won't do it next time.

In everything hamas does, Israel should return it 30× worse. At least.

This is different from a slap.
No kidding. Already the famine and disease are setting in, with food-laden trucks kept at bay by Israeli soldiers.

The cruelty is astounding.

It's best to turn away and not watch while Hamas commits suicide. They're "martyring" themselves by not surrendering, and that's their own choice. Nobody can talk them out of it.

Those are people. It is not suicide, it is genocide and we are all watching it happen.

Since we're all watching, does anyone want anything from the fridge?

Can you give me a Biblical reference justifying such carnage?

Netanyahu believes extinction of 3.2 million is the only way yo stop 30,000 Hamas.

And 30,000 Hamas, supported by and put in authority by Palestinians, believes extinction of 9.8 million is the only way to handle Israel.
