Yet here you are equivocating.
Even if they WERE all guilty, torture would still be cruel and dehumanizing treatment that is never acceptable under any circumstances.
So take hostages is your conclusion?
This is literally the playbook definition of an autocracy. He should be judged by the actions he took and shouldn’t be above the law like the supreme court decided but judging the voters is crazy
He's not above the law. Congress Impeached him for it and 57 Senators (less than the 67 needed) voted to convict (including 7 Republicans). But the Democrats rushed it for political reasons. The Nixon Impeachement process took 9 months and it had several hearings evidentiary and others that gave Republicans who didn't and couldn't support impeachment at the start of the process justify impeachment to their constituents. Impeachment is a political process, and Dems politicked like morons.
Almost like Fascism was a branch of Italian Socialism.
Evaluating groups based on their goals rather than their methods is a problem. The Far Left wants everyone's needs met, but historically (and even today in places like China) end up putting a bunch of people in camps and gulags to achieve that goal, squashing dissents to meet that goal, and banning the practicing of religions to meet that goal, kill political dissidents to meet that goal.
If the Left wants to win those Centrists they need to assert their belief in individual rights; they need to disavow the Socialists and Communists of the past and present who implemented those horrible things. When you have prominent American leftists like Bernie on record praising Venezuela; praising the USSR etc... it makes them appear equivalent.
We're not morons. We don't have to pretend that people held by Israel are universally innocent. I'm sure there's an innocence rate just like any justice system; but a significant portion of those people did criminal things.
They chose to raise an army and surprise they lost.
Significantly worse than this. They raised an army and stole $11b or more dollars of potential military funding. They invested $0 in defensive technologies for their citizens like bomb shelters. They started a war against one of the best equipped and trained militaries in the world and then didn't defend themselves at all.
Yes, this poll, even if the pollster doesn't want it to show this, largely shows that Palestinians want war and violence.
People forget that California is massive. It has more R voters than most red states. It just has more D voters in the aggregate.
You can't tell the side you're negotiating with to give you what you want and offer nothing
Several deals have offered pullouts back to the '67 borders contingent upon return of the hostages. We (the US) strong-armed Israel into offering these deals. They've been categorically rejected.
Hamas has demanded the right to keep hostages indefinitely a.k.a. slavery. If one side is demanding the right to own slaves, maybe they're the bad side.
Florida used to be a legitimate swing state just a couple elections ago. If Georgia can have a Blue election Florida most certainly can.
I don't know if listening to prominent politicians like Bernie Sanders who is the defacto leader of the left wing movement in the US qualifies as talking to someone who is "far left". He seems pretty representative of that movement.
