Journalist kidnapped in Iraq

So they’ve really passed it…The Knesset represents all political tendencies. If a majority in this parliament can be mean and ugly enough to pass such an abomination, then the whole country must be morally bankrupt and beyond repair.

This goes way beyond a small group of extremists holding the country to hostage. It’s actually the whole country which is rotten to the core I’m afraid.

A regime change in Tel Aviv is not just long overdue, it has become an existential issue.

Read it. Reaching for conclusions in some places.

Iran keeps attacking UAE and UAE isn’t supposed to fight back. Poorly written article on the whole. Both the Saudi and the UAE along with the other Gulf states want the war to continue.

It would be nice if alongside stopping the destruction of religious symbols, they could also stop killing Christian and Muslim civilians. Is that too much to ask?

Whoa, whoa, easy there, cowboy. They said destroying religious symbols went against their values.

Schools are a legitimate target if intelligence tells us there might be someone of interest in the general area.

It’s outrageous to damage a statue!
Flattening a region, killing people, men, women and children is just fine.
Priorities!

True,seems all the rage lately,killing people,particularly women and kids must be a breeze,statues clearly not so much,is it any coincidence that those who are reluctant to destroy statues aspire to having a fleet of them around.

Apparently when they went on their ten minute wrecking spree in downtown Beirut a couple of weeks ago (100 bombs dropped in ten minutes) they were so desperate for ‘legitimate’ targets that they were hitting suspected Hezbollah hideouts , in broad fucking daylight no less , when innocents were going about their everyday business.

I wonder if that ludicrous phrase of ‘most moral army in the world’ will ever be used again once their maniacal actions of the past three years are fully and freely reported on.
