| Thank you for taking the trouble to post these in full, Quirt. I don't think I saw PD's link, and this information is very useful. But I am appalled to discover that no matter how well armed one is with the facts, there are still people clinging more firmly to their false narratives than ever. People who should know better. I think it is shocking how large a swath of the U.S. population, regardless of their politics, prefers ignorance over enlightenment.

Well, I'm glad nobody has a problem with this.  |

| I don’t put a lot of stock in literal interpretation of Bible verses.
I don’t think anyone else should either.
But, if someone is looking for support for an existing viewpoint, Bible verses can be a great help. |

I remember the Netanyahu quote re Amalek, though in context it seemed to be about Hamas. Some others in the government have said things far more insidious. But what matters is what they do. Clearly, there is no intention of genocide. Do you have any idea how easy it would be for them to kill 10,000 people an hour, around the clock? They dropped 6,000 bombs in the first week of fighting. Each of those could have killed many hundreds had that been their intention.

| Oh, certainly. It would have been pretty easy to leave no Gazan alive in the strip had they wanted to. But they're human beings.
