I've always been an isolationist. I don't support the war in Ukraine. I really want the US to broker a peace deal there. And yet my first reaction to this attack, when the death toll was at 200, I told my husband "they need to kill 1000 Palestinians to teach them a lesson". I'm not Jewish and I feel bad that my reaction was so bloodthirsty but there is something seriously wrong with these terrorist ideologies and I think that most Palestinians support terrorism. I used to think a two state solution was desirable but the last 40 years has made me believe that is not possible. Terrorists do not want peace and we are all just fooling ourselves if we keep thinking there is a way to make peace with the Palestinians. They need to be forcibly moved to Arab lands and the international community needs to move on. The idea that there are "refugee camps" for 75 years with multi-story structures is laughable. The UN has funded this farce for years. Billions of dollars are spent on UN employees and services which are then funneled into the terrorists. The Palestinians have rejected every opportunity for peace. If Iran or Ethiopia or the UK or Nicaragua or even the US thinks that the Palestinians need a homeland then they can provide it to them. Don't think they would be as keen.

Not the US. But otherwise I agree. We probably already have many through the wide open southern border. Everyone with a conscience needs to proclaim loudly terrorism is wrong, we will not subjourn terrorism, terrorism cannot cloak itself in virtue. At some level the Palestinians in Gaza need to clean their own house or suffer the consequences. Instead the UN is pleading to send humanitarian aid to Gaza. It seems some 1,000,000 Gaza said ate dependent on the UN for food. Half the population.

You are not blood thirsty. You are sick of innocent people paying the price for allowing thugs and murders to gain power everywhere and we help fund them. Sudan massacres thousands seeking a homeland and our government looks the other way. But not to worry, good people had signs that said, Not on our watch! The UN has never been competent or useful for anyone that seeks to prevent evil from rising.
