A lot of the usual subjects have gone to ground, wonder what PETA are going to say?

Especially considering they even shot dogs

How's it going fellas. Recent events have reminded me of the good Ole times we used to have here with some libs who appear to be all but extinct in here now lol

 

I agree with most of what's been said. Hamas (and Islamic jihad) need to be destroyed. And they're going to be. Gaza will become a tent city inshallah.

 

Also the filthy mob taking over the streets of the west should be sent the middle east

 

 

 

 

Welcome back.  Am to new and must have missed the “ fun”. ..but it looks like zero engagement from “ libs” for over a year . 
Some have said toxic and oxygen sucking ,..so definitely not fun

 

 

Internal politics aside , I stand with Israel

I do not know the details but there was a clear out. I personally prefer a wide variety of views.

 

Somehow I survived. How I have no idea.

Sounds like a Microaggression? Interesting that my spell check has no issues with this term.

I completely forgot visajourney has a politics forum, I never frequented it before.

I'm in Israel. I've been staying here on a (very) extended visit since March 2020 (with plans to make aliyah, eventually). Since March 2020, I believe this is my 3rd or 4th time that rockets are being fired from Gaza in bigger numbers - or at least I thought it will be just a "routine" occurrence like that....

Until I read about the massacres.

Although I live in a religious community, I myself am not 100% observant and so I went online after I was woken up by faint sirens (at the time it was not ours but the next sector's over from us) and explosions on Saturday morning.

 

I don't have words. I love Israel with all my heart, since the first time I set foot in this beautiful country, over 15 years ago and while walking towards passport control still inside the airport, I looked out the window, saw palm trees and the thought just hit me: "That's it, I'm home, one day I'll move to this country!" I cannot rightly explain it, other than it was like falling in love with a person except it was falling in love with a country, instead.

 

Now, Israel fights for its very survival, once again. It crossed my mind for a hot second to leave but I could not forgive myself. I'd betray who I am at the core. I converted to Judaism over 10 years ago. I knowingly accepted the Jewish people's fate as my own fate. There's no turning back now.

It's heartening to see this thread. It's disheartening to see social media.

Hamas supporters denying & celebrating the atrocities at the same time. (How does that work?).....

The false equivalency ("both sides are just as bad as each other")... What utter nonsense (I'd use a different word if it wasn't for the rules about profanity)!

 

I'm in a relatively safe area (in Judea, south of Jerusalem, in Gush Etzion, in a so-called settlement). We had sirens on the first day, 7/10 and one on 9/10. The rockets are not a major concern for this area. Possible infiltration from our neighboring Arab villages, however, is what I'm more worried about. There were gunshots nearby tonight and we had a notification that there was disturbance in the neighboring village which the army quickly took care of.

We hear faint rumblings day and night, that's Gaza being bombed. I hope each and every Hamas member is killed including the leaders who are safely in their palaces abroad. They deserve it. I hope for the least possible amount of civilian deaths in Gaza. It's war. War is horrible. Israel didn't start this war but Israel will finish it.

 

Anyway, thank you for reading my rant.

An extraordinary decision ..sounds like you have found that forever Home. ..
 

I am by nature a bleeding heart and always root for the underdog …but this  attack was by a blood thirsty pack of hyenas . 
 

There is NOTHING I am willing to listen to or hear that can excuse this terrorist attack . So yes, I hope  Halas for Hamas. 
 

Then maybe there will be time to analyze how IDF missed all those training camps for the last 2 years..brrr
