CNN’s Wolf Blitzer seemed at a lost of words at the justification being used to bomb a refugee camp in Gaza.

    “But even if that Hamas commander was there amidst all those Palestinian refugees who are in that Jabalya refugee camp, Israel still went ahead and dropped a bomb there attempting to kill this Hamas commander knowing that a lot of innocent civilians—men, women, and children—presumably would be killed?” Blitzer asked. “Is that what I’m hearing?”

    Dude, Wolf Blitzer gets it. Don’t let yourself seem like the less reasonable party when Wolf Blitzer’s involved.

      I feel like we’re already at the bottom of the barrel when serial teleprompter reader Wolf Blitzer gets it.

        It’s unreal right? It’s like some body snatcher type shit and it’s everyday. Tomorrow some even more baffling combination of sorrows will somehow make this look tame. We are living the curse of “may you live in interesting times.”

      I don’t think the Israeli government cares anymore than the Iranian government cared about killing its people. Any government based on religion is going to be intolerant of nonconforming behaviors and other religious beliefs. Separation of church and state is a requirement for successful societies.

        This is not a religious conflict. It’s imperialist and settler colonial. This headass take needs to stop.

            If I’m a Palestinian, and I am / convert to Judaism. Can I join Israel? (no)

            Also, how many Israelis have a Jewish religion? (they are the minority, it’s mostly non believers)

            How does this fit in it being religious instead of ethnic you think?

                They killed the people outside of their prison cell. The ones that have them locked in there under horrifying conditions. They targeted anyone on the outside.

        Iran killing it’s own people or the Israelis? For sure on religion being a blight to the progress of humanity. I’d say I’m still perplexed, but honestly just meh. I’ve read enough weird shit today.

          Ive witnessed too much of it in the last 20 years. I’m tried of seeing innocent people killed to defend a religion.
