I 100% agree. They probably thought the hostages would help them.

Both sides…lol. It’s progressive Democrats aka The Squad. It’s a minority for sure,, but Democrats have and have always had an Israel problem within their own party. I’m not aware of any Republicans standing with Hamas. You’re kinda acting like Trump when he said there are very fine people on both sides in reference to what happened in Charlottesville.

I was stating, not 100% of Republicans support Israel, same on the left.

Empathy for those that aren’t involved, that are being bombed etc etc. They don’t really have a choice, I feel bad for them, Not the terrorist.

I feel like they don’t really support them, just don’t like Israel.

Ok. I’m not aware of any Republicans that don’t support Israel, but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt. The statement itself sounds disingenuous and this is why my political peers criticize you. The two parties are not equal in that regard. One party has several members that are outspoken against Israel and calling for a cessation of hostilities (and not because they just love peace).

I’m sure there are good innocent Palestinians caught up in this, and I do have empathy for those folks. That being said, I totally understand & support Israel’s response & taking every measure to make certain Hamas never attacks their people again.

If Egypt or Iran won’t take them in, I fear they are about to be fed to the Leviathan. Gaza is about to be gonzo.

I can see why, I just did a quick search and found my information. I wasn’t talking strictly about politicians.

Don't let Solkern get you twisted.

Yes there are some Republicans who don't support Israel (no outspoken Republican politicians I can think of though), but the Republicans who don't support Israel also don't support Hamas or the inhabitants of Gaza.

There ARE Democrats who openly oppose Israel AND support Hamas/Gaza and some of them even sit in the US Congress.

Only 5% of Republicans say their sympathies lie more with the Palestinians.
