I assume for a stupid publicity win. 
Publicity? What about freeing 5 Americans who were wrongly imprisoned?

Hamas is using other countries as well as it's own civilians as shields,
As well as targeting civilians of other nations for slaughter.

How is one to 'avoid collateral damage?


. . .

You know, one of the things I like about Russians, in response to terrorists taking hostages,
Is I thought Russian government response is to go in hard and heavy anyhow,
Don't negotiate with terrorists.

Don't let terrorists think taking hostages will work.
. . .

Besides, hostages ought kill the terrorists themselves, and not 'let themselves be taken hostage, not 'let themselves be used.

A combatant is basically a person that engages in combat.

Could be anyone, including a civilian.
Yes, finally you understand.  Good job

Correct. He saved 5 Americans but the money he spent has now caused more American deaths as many Americans were in Israel during this attack and taken hostage.

I would urge future world leaders to do what is right, not do what gets you positive media coverage.

I would have freed them by strong arming the terrorist nation. 

Ideally when you make a trade you want to get the best deal possible. 

Not sure why stupid Americans don't understand this concept. Once again for the slow Americans reading this. When making a deal, you should aim for the best deal possible not he first thing offered.

War is not such an ideal situation as that.

I knew this anyway.

The point I was making was that when push comes to shove all human masses are equally as squidgy.

The label is irrelevant when the bomb or bullet hits.

  Let's see, the Saudi's give Jared $2 billion, he gets Matt Gaetz  to shut down Congress and then Hamas attacks Israel.

  Brillant Plan.

Iran clearly took 2 out of the 6 billion dollars and gave it to Saudi Arabia.

There is no connection between the money and the attack. The attack was planned for the 50 year anniversary of the Yom Kippur War

Iran has been providing support to Hamas, a Palestinian militant organization, for several decades. The exact duration of Iran's support for Hamas can be traced back to the early 1990s when Hamas emerged as a significant player in the Palestinian territories. Iran has provided financial, military, and political support to Hamas over the years, and this support has continued to evolve and fluctuate in response to regional dynamics and Iran's foreign policy objectives.

Right, so the 6 billion in frozen funds had nothing to do with the attack this weekend

This talking point reminds me of a joke:

A man was strolling down Las Vegas Boulevard when a panhandler came up to him. “Excuse me, sir— my Mom is in the hospital right now, and my family needs all the help we can get in order to cover her hospital bills. Can you spare anything at all?”
“Hey, don’t try and fool me. You’re just going to gamble away anything I give you, aren’t you?”
“No, sir, you don’t understand!” *pats his hip pocket* “See, I’ve GOT gambling money.”

Israel must be wiped off the face of the Earth and no Zionist caught in the crossfire deserves mercy.

Destroy Zionism and free Palestine.
