    Israel’s actions are a direct consequence of what Hamas did," Borrell’s spokesman had said in Brussels earlier the same day.

    Uhh, I think you meant to say “Hamas’ actions are a direct consequence of what Israel has been doing to Gaza”

      You really wouldn’t gather this by looking at the media churn. It’s pro Israel to with it’s foot to the floor. If you dare voice distention, you are labeled to be an anti Semite. This successful tactic has been a go to for years. For Israel to know true peace, they need to dump its current leadership. I won’t see this happen in my lifetime.

        I don’t know what media you read, but this has not been my experience with The Intercept, Aljazera, and Democracy Now

          I think you answered your own question… None of those are “media churn” AKA mainstream media, but are instead alternative independent media outlets.

      It both is the case. But it should be really obvious to anyone that even a horrific terrorist attack doesn’t just absolve Israel from international law.

        Hamas is Gaza’s government and military. Yes, they’ve committed war crimes and many call them terrorists.

        The IOF is Israel’s military. Yes, they’ve committed war crimes and many call them terrorists.

        I’m all for open discussions. But… shouldn’t one know the basic facts on a topic before seemingly expressing an opinion on the matter? You clearly need to take an unbiased look at the situation.

        You do not kill hundreds of innocent people and blame it on oppression.

        The oblivious irony of such a statement.

            Why do you expect an argument? I’m pointing out what seems to me as a flaw in reasoning based on what seems to be a lack of understanding of the situation.

                I doubt I’m anything like you, and I also doubt I think like you. I’ve spent my life always critical of what I think, always allowing myself to be wrong. So I don’t look at this situation with the gut feeling and emotion you seem to have. I look at humans, and human behavior. I’m skeptical of any news and media, especially if there is reason to suspect an agenda.

                This is literally collateral damage that is inevitable… Israel is doing the right thing Hamas is a terrorist organization Land is not owned by any society. It is owned by the power of the society at the time

                Each of those sentences combined, paints such a strong picture, that I’m surprised you cannot see it for what it is.
