Entirely the fault of Hamas and the Palestinians that elected them.

All 51 of 'em ?

PLEASE Freepers . . . talk this shit up.

Israel is probably the most careful of ANY nation EVER, responding to ... THEY WERE ATTACKED FIRST !

Israel is conducting their retaliation with surgical precision and the Satanic wing (of the world) keeps trying to make Israel the bad guy in this.

ISRAEL WAS ATTACKED AND THEY ARE NOW KICKIN' HAMAS' ASS INTO OBLIVION !

“Israel’s military campaign in Gaza seen as among the most destructive in history”

It’s a good start. Also, there are no “civilians” in Gaza.

The headline says “in history”.

I guess these “experts” have never heard of Carthage.

Israeli military campaign in Gaza, experts say, now sits among the deadliest and most destructive in history.

I wish. More, please.

These are clearly no experts. So what are they really?

More destructive than what happened in Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Nanking? Ok, then Gaza should be nuked and IDF soldiers should bayonet babies to be less destructive. Drama queens.

Hamas must be destroyed.

"I guess the nuking of Hiroshima, and the fire bombing of Tokyo and Dresden no longer count."

You don't expect "journalists" to actually know any history, do you? According to them, those were "mostly peaceful, but fiery" protests.

Guess Hamas shouldn’t have attacked Israel on October 7. But the destruction will end when Hamas surrenders. Is AP calling on Hamas to surrender? I didn’t think so.

World War II, the last war we really won, showed that if you beat the everlasting snot out of the enemy, he tends to behave afterwards. Hasn’t been much trouble out of Japan, Germany, Italy, Romania, Bulgaria or Hungary since 1945.

It didn’t even take nukes in WW2. General LeMay and the 8th Air Force probably turned more acres of German cities into rubble than all the acres in Gaza, period. Then he started on Japan.

This news article is sheer antisemitic propaganda aimed at ignorant rubes.

I want to see them take back Solomon’s empire, from the River Euphrates to the Mediterranean Sea.
