do you support the Israeli war in gaza?

[Dr. MB]

Black or white. Yes or no. If so, why? If not, why not?

[TheReckoning]

I can see the arguments for and against.

[Antonio the Sixth]

No (not a ghoul)

[lfromnj]

I morally support it but oppose aid.

[Sir Mohamed]

Didn't vote, a black and white answer is too simple.

Do I support crushing Hamas? Yup, absolutely.
Do I support killing Palestinian civilians? Absolutely not.
Do I support Israel going in? They have a right to self defense, though some actions and strikes are way over the top.
Do I support Bibi? Hell, no. He needs to go.

Truth is, for this conflict to be resolved non-militarily, both Hamas and Bibi need to go.

[Pheurton Skeurto]

I don't support any war ever.

[All Along The Watchtower]

What war?

[Vosem]

Of course; it's in the best interests of everyone on the planet.

[jamestroll]

No I do not.

But I am very perplexed at the liberal defense of Palestine.

The only country with any LGBTQ rights in the Middle East, central Asia, etc is…… Israel.

The only country with any sort of LGBT rights in the middle east is ISRAEL.  Gays can service in the armed forces, Tel Aviv as a gay pride event, one of the largest in the world in fact.

MUSLIM countries as a whole have governments and policies very similar to what Republicans with to implement.

I do not understand these so-called progressives who defend Palestine to the end, and oppose any criticism of it.

here in the US, MUSLIM voters are both socially and often economically right wing.

[dead0man]

I support their moral right to do what they want while Hamas has hostages.

[SnowLabrador]

No, even if my government insists on being the only government to support it.

Well good luck crushing Hamas then, both sides kill civilians in virtually every war that has been fought, certainly in modern times. We certainly killed plenty of German and Japanese civilians in the course of crushing the Axis which most people don't have a problem with.

[President Johnson]

I reject the framing "Israel's war". Israel is conducting a military opertation to defend itsself from the Hamas terrorists. I support that. However, some of their individual military actions are over the top and are rightfully criticized. So I support the original objective but have deep reservations over the execution.

It's not an invasion, just a special military operation

Some civilians dying is inevitable in war, especially when the goal is to overthrow a terrorist regime like Hamas, and doubly so when said regime is more than willing to use their civilians as human shields. The question is, how many civilian casualties are acceptable?

[Progressive Pessimist]

Not anymore. But I don't like that the hostages and October 7 attack seem to be forgotten about.

Netanyahu has been going overboard for months, but the retaliation was not completely unprovoked, which it might seem as of now to any who weren't paying attention back in October and November.
