There’s a thread somewhere about this story.Hate Crime With An Ironic Twist
"A woman was arrested after intentionally driving her car into what she thought was a Jewish school in Indiana, authorities said."
"One adult, a 7-month-old baby, and three children under age 3 were inside the school when the crash occurred, according to court records. None were injured."
"further stated that she had “passed by a couple times and saw the ‘Israel school’,” police said, and also told police, “Yes. I did it on purpose.”"

Turns out the structure is associated with Radical Hebrew Israelites, a group the Southern Poverty Law Center designated as an anti-Israel and anti-Semitic extremist organization.
"The Anti-Defamation League said that the Israelite School of Universal and Practical Knowledge is in fact an extremist organization that is anti-Israel. The Southern Poverty Law Center has also designated the organization a hate group."
Curb your antisemitism.
Wasn't Yitzhak Rabin killed by an Israeli?Yep...can't say that one surprises me a whole lot.
For all the talk of the "Cruelty of Israel's actions", people forget that the lion's share of cruelty against Muslims, typically comes from other Muslims. I forget which stand-up comedian said it, but they said "It's the only religion that operates like the Mafia...where you get whacked if you do something that offends one of the other families"
The same is true across a wide variety of other facets of daily life in those areas.
When the handwringing from pro-Hamas propaganda leads to complaints about Israel's operations resulting in the deaths and injuries of women, it's important to keep this in mind:
The Deadly Toll for Palestinian Women
Videos that circulated on social media in August appearing to show a hospital corridor with a woman heard pleading and screaming, and sounds of intermittent thuds, have sparked protests and outrage at the lethal cost that Palestinian women pay because of a lack of protections and discriminatory...www.hrw.org
So if Israel accidentally kills women as a result of collateral damage in a military operation, other international players in the Muslim world will get absolutely outraged about it. When their own men beat & kill women because "they dishonored me in public", that never seems to come up in the conversation...funny how that works out.

Not surprising, considering that the misfired rocket that hit that hospital was fired from a cemetery.
I'm sure everyone will have anecdotal examples of people they know who are good or bad.That sounds like somebody with no actual real familiarity with Muslims.
The Muslims I have know have been more humane people than many Christians I have known.

Not to mention it's anti-Semetic to do so. When you put more pressure on Jews to put up with the attacks and have no response to the blatant killing of their people while at the same time blaming them for the attacks on their people and refusing to call for the end of the attacks is blatantly anti-Semitic."Shouldn't the Israelis at least be killing random Lebanese and Yemeni citizens?"... That's illogical thinking. It's also illogical to keep quiet about Hezbollah and Hamas firing rockets randomly into Iarael, targeting civilians, but then complain about Israel.
...People act like the terrorists get a free pass because it's expected, while Israel is held to the standard of Right Hand of God.
I think it's anti-semitic to hold Jews to a higher standard, as if they're more culpable than regular people because of their status as Jews. But no, they're normal people.

They should just flood the tunnels for a few months.As I wrote in a prior thread:
"To destroy Hamas, Isreal is aiming to destroy the underground tunnel network that covers the entirety of Gaza. Given how extensive the network is and Hamas' propensity to locate their high value military targets near mosque, hospitals etc, Israel is faced with the challenge of how to destroy the tunnels while minimizing human life. It also appears Israel has no inention of sending it's troops into the tunnels given the high risk factor. In the case of the Jabaliya neighborhood, at least two 2,000-pound bombs were used in a densely populated area. The human toll from such a decion would be obvious to the Israeli government.
Israel state's it was targetting a high level Hamas commander as well as tunnel infrastrcure.
Is killing so many civilians justfified? I'm not convinced it is.
Once more, given the situation, we'll see many more Jabaliya like bombings in the days and weeks ahead. Thousands of civilians will die as a result."
The law of armed conflict says the incidental killing of and harm to civilians and damage to objects must not exceed the direct military advantage to be gained. The Geneva Conventions, the widely accepted basis for international humanitarian law and codes of warfare, were adopted in 1949 with the aim of preventing governments from inflicting the level of mass casualties of World War II.
Is that because the population is diverse?This conflation of Israel with Jews is just as erroneous as the conflation of Hamas with Palestinians.
What are you talking about? Qatar said Hamas wasn't building these tunnels by hospitals etc. IDF has not confirmed that is correct. Qatar supports Hamas which means they are a terrorist supporter.Why was there any doubt that the “supporters of terroists’ (just happened) to be correct in this instance, since it was confirmed by the IDF
I disagree. First, there is no such thing as a "Palestinian", other than to describe a region in which someone lives. But that doesn't even work today because there is no region called Palestine. Second, Conflating Gazans with Hamas is like, in the early 1940's, conflating Germans with Nazis. Which is why we bombed Berlin, Hamburg, Dresden, etc. And yes, a lot of children died. War is hell. It's why Captain Kirk said, "War is a thing to be avoided."This conflation of Israel with Jews is just as erroneous as the conflation of Hamas with Palestinians.
Which means I don't believe a word Qatar sez.What are you talking about? Qatar said Hamas wasn't building these tunnels by hospitals etc. IDF has not confirmed that is correct. Qatar supports Hamas which means they are a terrorist supporter.
The pressure of all the communities of the world could do it. Stop funding them, stop encouraging them. The incentive would be a ceasing of support including material support.And who has leverage with Hamas to apply this pressure? Iran?
What incentive would there be for Hamas to surrender?

So your answer is we can't do anything about it so instead we need to tell Israel they have to stop, which further encourages Hamas?
In other words you have no answer.
They are not punishing Gazans. If Israel was really doing that they could actually do that. Israel literally could kill every Gazan if they wanted to. But the truth is they are not and they are trying to prevent the death of civilians.You are conflating the residents of Gaza with Hamas. The people of Gaza are not responsible for Hamas's attacks, and most are too young to have ever voted for Hamas. Hamas doesn't allow democratic elections in Gaza.
Collective punishment of civilians for military atrocities or terrorist attacks is against international law.
