This is the only time I'll be referencing a Hannity video. :)
When even the united front of FNC is fraying over Israel's conduct in
Gaza, you know the conflict has turned a page. Geraldo, a
self-proclaimed Zionist who "would die for Israel" and apparently has a
Star of David tattoo, said that the excessive carnage caused by the IDF
is counter-productive to the interests of the Jewish State. It's
increasing anti-Semitism (or at least reducing support for Israel), and
not getting any closer to their stated goal of disarming/destroying
Hamas.
Israel has air superiority. Why can't they have gunships and
drones circling 24-7 to shoot at potential missile sites BEFORE they
launch? Returning fire on a site where fighters may have already vacated
seems stupid - especially when that site is a humanitarian one. And
shelling is the worst military response - lower accuracy and higher
chance of collateral damage. That is the lazy man's approach (which also
shows a lack of caring, especially when they have other options at
their disposal). Bullets may also hit the wrong people, but at least it
won't level buildings and crush kids. I am not sure if Hamas has
surface-to-air missiles, but it seems to me that Israel is not making
all reasonable efforts to minimize risk to noncombatants. This is
possibly due to the perception among some in Israel that all Gazans are
fair game because they dislike Israel and tolerate/support Hamas. 16 When the men got up to leave, they looked down toward Sodom, and Abraham walked along with them to see them on their way. 17 Then the LORD said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do? 18 Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him. 19 For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just, so that the LORD will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him." 20 Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous 21 that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know." 22 The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the LORD. 23 Then Abraham approached him and said: "Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? 24 What if there are fifty righteous people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it? 25 Far be it from you to do such a thing--to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?" 26 The LORD said, "If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake." 27 Then Abraham spoke up again: "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, though I am nothing but dust and ashes, 28 what if the number of the righteous is five less than fifty? Will you destroy the whole city because of five people?" "If I find forty-five there," he said, "I will not destroy it." 29 Once again he spoke to him, "What if only forty are found there?" He said, "For the sake of forty, I will not do it." 30 Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak. What if only thirty can be found there?" He answered, "I will not do it if I find thirty there." 31 Abraham said, "Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty can be found there?" He said, "For the sake of twenty, I will not destroy it." 32 Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there?" He answered, "For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it." 33 When the LORD had finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home.
