Those human shields have no where to go.

Back in October the Hamas supporters here in America were chanting "By whatever means necessary" to justify the horrors of Oct.7. Now that slogan fits very well for Israel's move to eliminate the Hamas terrorists in Rafah, although any deaths of non-combatants will not be deliberate, unlike the Hamas attrocities.

A poll by an Arab pollster found that an overwhelming majority of Gaza residents support Hamas and support what they did on Oct.7, so they are evil like Hamas. The ones who don't support Hamas are probably mostly out of Rafah by now. If they stay to try to provide cover for Hamas, they deserve whatever happens to them.

I saw where Israel has even set up a field hospital to care for civilians in Gaza. Any conscientious Gazan would already be out of Rafah.

North Carolina has something worse than the EU's Green Deal facing us, and it is all the fault of liberal "Republican" Senate boss Phil Berger and his radical left last minute rewrite of HB951. The EU's Green Deal calls for reducing "greenhouse emissions" by 50% by 2030 while NC's HB951 calls for a much bigger 70% reduction. That will send our electric rates into the stratosphere. Thanks a whole heck of a lot, traitor Phil Berger! Here is the whole sordid story of how HB951 was hijacked and passed: www.beaufortcountynow.com

If the only media you consume are dishonest, your viewpoint will likely be dishonest, too. The American MSM stopped doing real journalism, and moved to what they call "advocacu journalism" some time ago, and that amounts to being propagandists for a particular side instead of journalists. The more liberal media of some foreign countries still do real journalism to a point. And, Bobbie, you only cite the leftwing sources if you cite any sources at all.

Let me give you an example of the difference in US media. The New York Times has never been anything but a propaganda sheet. Before Bezos bought it, the Washington Post on the other hand, while it had a recognizable liberal bias, it still did real journalism where you could get accurate information and a semblbance of both sides. When I travelled to DC, I always bought both the more conservative Washington Times and the Washington Post, but I never bothered with pickiing up even a free copy (as on international flights) of the New York Times. Sadly, since Bezos bought the Washington Post, it has become like the New York Times, so I don't bother with it anymore. On the other hand, when I am in an airport lounge in the UK, I read all of the newspapers across the spectrum that are available, because all of them, in spite of their slant, all still do real journalism.

If you only consume media you agree with, you cannot consider yourself an informed individual.

What we really need is to get out deporter-in-chief, Donald Trump back in the White House to deport all these illegal aliens back to where they came from.

There is no moral equivalency between the Oct. 7 civilian victims of Hamas terrorism and pro-Hamas civilians in Gaza who are willing human shields for those terrorists. Israel has set up a safe tent camp for any Gaza civialians who do not want to be human shields for Hamas to go to, with food and other supplies. Egypt is sending militia to create a zone in Sinai where Gazan civlians can go temporarily to be safe. Those in Rafah have had plenty of time to leave to a place of safety. If they decide to stay and help the Hamas terrorists by being human shields for them, they are hardly innocent.

Israel should be given all the military assistance Congress voted for so that the campaign can be run efficiently to root out the Hamas terrorists and destroy Hamas once and for all, with the least collateral damage as possible. Not providing that military assistance is going to require Israel to have to use more blunt force leading to more Gaza human shields as well as more Israeli soldiers dying.

Hamas needs to be finished off, and after what they did to innocent civilians on Oct. 7, I have no sympathy whatsoever for anyone who decides they want to be a human shielf for those terrorists.

Even worse Biden's motive for what he is doing on this issue have nothing to do with Israelis or Gazans, but only has to do with Biden trying to get back the Muslim vote in Deerborn, Michigan, which today is more like Dearbornistan.

Oh! The liberal MSM website Newsweek, that used to be a magazine? That link shows that they, too, are in the "fact check" spin game. So, you did get this from one of the phoney "fact check" spin sites. And they set up a similar straw man to knock down as I predicted. The legislation IS about whether illegal aliens will be represented in Congress, and the Democrats DID vote in favor of that.

Still backing the HAmas terrorists, I see, Bigot Bob. You are a sick puppy. You used the line to justify the Oct. 7 terrorism against women, children, and other civilians that "things don't happen in a vacuum". Now those terrorists who raped, tortured, murdered those Oct. 7 victims, including babies baked in ovens. Those are the monsters you want to defend. Those monsters try to escape by using human shields, and anyone agreeing to be human shields for such monsters is putting themselves at risk. Israel has created a place for them to go where they will be safe if they choose.

It is not the human shields who have to be dealth with, it is the Hamas terrorist monsters who have to be destroyed for what they did to innocent civilians including many women and children on Oct. 7.
