TEL AVIV — In the worst flare-up of violence in seven years, (Israel launched airstrikes and Palestinian militants launched hundreds of missiles) overnight into Wednesday, killing more than 50 people and injuring hundreds more amid rising fears the conflict could spiral into all-out war.

[snip] U.S. State Department spokesman Ned Price told a briefing Tuesday, "Israel has the right to defend itself" and "the Palestinian people also have the right to safety and security, just as Israelis do."

Climate change? Yup. From Trump climate to biden climate.

Article is BS. Makes it look like Israel started it.

They are going to have to drive them out of Gaza to Sinai.

And settle the Gaza.

There is no other answer short of killing them all.

Everything is falling apart without Trump. Chaos abounds under JoeBama.
The occupying regime needs to GO.

[Hambone 1934]

The one positive that comes out of all this...No way the hippy dippy liberal Jews are getting rid of “Benji”....They may hate him, but they are stuck with him...Annnd after he wins this war,he will be even more popular for saving Israel.....

[Puppage]

And they never have. The Palestinians ALWAYS start it. They ALWAYS break the peace agreements.

[SoCal Pubbie]

It’s like Pearl Harbor, where the Imperial Japanese Navy and the Pacific Fleet exchanged violence.

[gattaca]

AND Biden is sending money to the Palestinians. Hamas is funded by Iran. Don’t tell John Kerry.

Fix bayonets!

Thanks, Joe! President Trump had it all set up FOR you. For the first time in many decades, the ME could SEE peace, prosperity and new hope aligned before them ... and YOU found a way to “f” it up!

Absolutely amazing!

Just a hunch of mine is, that eventually one side loses and the other side wins then there will be quiet at least for a while. This is how it usually ends up. Otherwise these attacks will be an ongoing never ending event, with some people or factions any negotiations are just an exercise in futility.

Meanwhile back at the White House Biden has his pudding and the cartoon channel on nap to ensue.

A brilliant example of how the news is manipulated by what likes to think of itself as the ‘Mainstream Press’. “Israel launched airstrikes and Palestinian militants launched hundreds of missiles” is factually quite true, yet deceptive nonetheless. By naming Israel first it implies that Israel started the violence and makes the Palis look like victims.

This tactic is nearly 100 years old.

Here’s some historical background dating into the 1920’s:
