Sorry, I wasn't being clear I guess. I meant that they have the weaponry to make the number of casuaties on both sides more even but are not using that weaponry. I'm not saying it would be a good idea to do so or anything of the sort, just saying they could. I was not saying that a...

I think the methods of violent protesting being employed pretty much guarantees a severe imbalance of casualties on one side versus the other. I think any violent protest presumes that there will be one or more casualties. Hell, peaceful protests have yielded casuaties in the past.

There is a power imbalance, but Hamas could send a bunch of soldiers armed to the teeth to the front lines to create a lot of Israeli casualties. They haven't because they employ methods of violent protesting that create the maximum appearance of oppression and desperation. Burning tires to...

I apologize if I offended you. Nonetheless, Hamas has been creating sympathy around the world by firing rockets at Israel from areas using human shields before these protests, hoping for retalliation and civilian casualties that they could broadcast to the world. I could go on and on about...

I actually believe the move emboldened Hamas to craft the narrative it wants in front of more cameras to get more sympathy from people like you. Do you ever contemplate the fact that Hamas is a terrorist group? Do you ever sit back and think "hey, maybe this group deserves more scrutiny?"...

We were going back and forth about this exact thing on page 1 of this thread. Weird.

They have been crowing about the meeting and I think that's stupid. Just don't understand the need for everyone to call it some huge foreign policy failure before the terms of the meeting have even been set.

I don't need to try to give Trump a pass, this conflict has been around for what, 70 years. I don't understand why you can't look beyond what's right in front of you or what's convenient for you. I don't like Trump, didn't vote for him and generally think he's out of his depth. I am...

The Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 authorized the embassy to move from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Every president since it became a law has paid lip service to it, scoring whatever "cheap political points" you think are out there. Something like 2% of this country is Jewish, where is the worthwhile...

Other stuff doesn't apply here, explain how Trump's getting rolled by Kim.

I've already stated that I don't think a deal is gonna happen here, but they could surprise me. At this point, how has Kim owned Trump? Yes, it was easy to get out of the Iran deal because it was very unpopular 3 years ago. The people didn't like it and Congress didn't like it. If it had...

Wasn't aware Kim cancelled the meeting, link?

Yeah RJ, it's not like Isreal didn't fire a bunch of rockets at an Iranian base in Syria in the last few days, a chemical bomb wasn't dropped on civilians causing the US, UK and France to fire a lot of rockets at Assad's assets in Syria recently, or we haven't been finishing off ISIS in the...

I've been saying this whole thing doesn't make sense when taken to it's logical conclusion, but I have yet to see how Trump has been owned by Kim up to this point. Not trying to be combative, just looking for some proof here.

The move accomplishes recognition that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel by the US, which means a lot to the Jewish people and their continuing advocacy for Zionism. Whether you're for or against it, the move accomplished that at least. Otherwise, instability in the region may have a lot to...
