@HenMazzig I can't ever unsee that savagery on Oct 7th. I'm amazed at the restraint Israelis have in their response. ... We hope that Hamas is defeated & the hostages saved. No one wants to imagine less.

@HenMazzig This tends to occur when an army lacks training & discipline. Hamas' rape, torture & mutilation were central to their plan. Gazan day workers reported exactly who lived where, names & ages; detailed plans targetted these individuals. Hamas proudly streamed their "achievement."

@garybkatz Arab nations ethnically cleansed all their Jews in the 1950s, most to that tiny sliver. Yet, Arab rulers blame Jews for all their problems. Even if all the Jews moved to Brooklyn, they'd still hold Jewish conspiracy theories. If there're no Jews they'd have to invent some.
