      Also wild that Douglas Murray was already a public intellectual in 2009. I was only finishing high school that year and had no idea who he was at the time.

    the fact that this debate (israel-gaza) is still relevant to this day goes to show ho hamas should have been handled years ago, and what israel is doing now is long overdue. hamas is now more embedded within the civilian population and civilian casualties are higher as a result

      @@timothydebono2825 Well for one, the codification of Hamas as the official government of the Gaza Strip didn't occur until their split with Fatah in 2012, three years after this debate took place. The Gaza strip has seen changes of government, valiant attempts by Palestinians to actually build up their infrastructure in the past two decades, but the Israeli policy of 'mowing the lawn' continues. They have remained the persecuting monolith for the past half century and even longer.
      "what israel is doing now is long overdue"
      The fact that you say this is truly sickening. The slaughter of more than 20,000 women and children is 'long overdue'? People like you are the reason the western world has such a poor reputation and one of hypocrisy when it comes to the upholding of so called 'human rights' among the other nations of the globe.

    Israel's civilian-to-combat ratio is 1.3 civilians for every combat killed. The average civilian and combatant ratio is between eight and nine civilians for every combat killed. This is disproportionate but not in the direction that you are arguing! Israel has been disproportionately careful not to kill civilians.

    Let me just say this at the end of the day I’m not for violence I do not like people attacking each other over bullshit. The one thing I will say is I think it’s interesting how when people look at the situation now it’s currently going on they don’t take into the fact that this has been going on for sometime, so now that Israel is actually fighting back now all of a sudden they are the enemy when they’ve been putting up with this shit for fucking far too long I mean the fact that this was a debate in 2009 which is almost 20 years old shows that people standing with Palestine are ridiculousbecause when you’re constantly beaten and abused for years and then you decide you know what fuck this shit I’m fighting back and you fight back now all of a sudden you’re the bad guy. This is the reason why I can’t have a debate with anybody on this topic in modern day because a lot of them don’t care about what happened in the past they’re only looking at what’s going on.

      Hitchens is another fool spouting nonsense, pandering to terrorism of their own kind & can't see the forest for the tree's. Israel wiil NOT pander to no one. Nothing or nobody quite like Murray to call out the BS of left principles who play the victim card and refuse to acknowledge terrorism and propagate anti seimitism, it's absolutely dispicable.
