  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hamas militants and their allies raped, assaulted and sexually tortured their victims during and after the October 7, 2023 terror attack on southern Israel “to maximize pain and suffering,” a landmark new report has concluded.

Shared first with CNN, the report presents the most comprehensive body of evidence yet of sexual and gender-based violence against women, men and children, which it describes as “systematic, widespread, and integral to” the assault.

The report was publicly endorsed by a number of high-profile experts and campaigners, including Sheryl Sandberg and Hillary Clinton.

The Iranian leaders and officials supported this!!! They openly celebrated it, including the now deceased Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

I'll pay the extra money at the pump to extinguish everyone, who played any supportive role whatsoever, in any of that. Even if it was indirect.

This is Sodom and Gomorrah type behavior.

This is Sodom and Gomorrah type behavior.
So are pride and haughtiness, being wealthy while neglecting the poor and needy, being dishonest, and "strengthening the hand of the evil-doer" - all of which have been core facets of Trump's public persona and governing philosophy, particularly in his second administration.

I'm for the rest of you (i.e. his supporters) standing up against pure evil like you should, just like I do.

I would not dare to take that opportunity from you to offer double, or more, support for our “ally”.

I'm sorry, the October 7 card ran out of credit with me somewhere into the second year of the Gaza genocide.
So innocent young girls at a concert, being passed around, gang raped, screaming in pain for mercy and then being shot in the head, is just "a card" to you?

...Wow. That seems like a morally 'wrong' POV if I've ever heard one.

That’s how the Israeli government has chosen to use it. Hence this report coming out on the heels of support for Israel collapsing in the US.

It's not a card though. It's reality.

...A reality some people are choosing to dismiss, over politics. Which is immoral on any given level.

So here too, the politics of the president, and 'who's side he's on' will dictate whether we dismiss the report from the OP or not.

That's a disgrace to humanity, IMO.

it doesn't matter what your politics are, or how you feel about what I've said so far... if anyone doesn't feel empathy for the woman in the OP, then they are just as psychologically deranged, or worse than any dictator or authoritarian tyrant that has ever lived... And that's not an opinion!!!

...A monster is a monster. It's just that simple.

You can't say that the topic of the OP is a "card", because of X, Y and Z.

It is what it is... It's reality.

Than the Israeli government should stop using it as such.

It doesn't have 4 corners, and it's not made out of paper, or plastic, so it can't be "a card"... what it is, is a detailed report on an event that occurred, that has been presented to the public after more facts have been collected, and it has been endorsed by high ranking, bipartisan public officials.

Your imaginary claims of this being a reaction to "collapsing support for Israel", is your own invention, rooted in the realm of conspiracy theories and myths.

Yep, the Israeli government would never try to influence the US . Pure insanity to think they spend billions doing so.

Not billions. Your information appears to be dis-information.

...But the United State does spend Billions, in foreign aid, to buy influence.

Oh, only hundreds of millions. Chump change that couldn’t buy any influence.

The largest recipient being Israel every year and the largest cumulative recipient.

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones...

But no, not even "hundreds of millions":
"The United States spends drastically more on influencing foreign nations through foreign aid—roughly $60–$70+ billion annually—compared to the roughly $14 million in reported lobbying expenditure spent by Israel to influence U.S. policy in 2024."

Also, what country doesn't want to gain American influence? They all do, if they're smart.

The largest recipient being Israel every year and the largest cumulative recipient.
..America does what's in America's best interest.
