GOP still hasn’t found a Speaker of the House in the United States. Jim Jordan fails to secure a majority on the first vote.

 

The lack of a Speaker will likely continue to complicate foreign policy for the time being.

OK, I'm going to try my best  now to get banned by Totallympics here because of politics.

 

Hamas are a group of evil bastards whose only purpose for existence is to kill Jews.

 

The current Israeli government exists only to get cruel  revenge of the Palestinians, both the ones who are innocent of war crimes and those who guilty of war crimes.

 

The end.

Yup, there is so much blood on the hands of the leaders of both Hamas and Israel (not just this month, of course). It would be typical Hamas and their human shield tactics if this hospital, for example, was also hosting munition storage or dozens of Hamas terrorists, technically making it a 'military target', but with so many potential civilians in there also making it a very ethically questionable target, so yeah....

 

There's also still the (somewhat smaller) chance of Hamas themselves being behind this. Normally they have those little rockets that genuinely cause less damage than some fireworks we see here at the end of December (with the damage coming from Hamas having thousands and thousands of them), but theoretically they could have gotten their hands on something bigger and either aimed it at the hospital or failed massively in firing it at all.

Yeah, I don't think anyone's getting cancelled for reasonable takes 

 

This is pretty much the attitude in California at the moment.

Question: Hezbollah is attacking israel with rockets and they already have their own state (the excuse for palestinians-hamas). So whats the justification for them?
