@jensorensen And "we" (the American public discourse) don't seem to care about these crises, which all dwarf the Gaza crisis, at all.

@jensorensen there's nothing peaceful about these encampments. Destruction of property aside, they actively bar peaceful students from spaces they have the right to use and go around calling for the genocide of Jews. They took over a building and *held a staffer hostage inside*. They were not peaceful.Gaza has not been destroyed, and Rafah has obviously not been flattened.But yes, there's a humanitarian crisis in Gaza. I sure hope Hamas stops firing rockets at aid crossings and docks.

@DanHakimi @jensorensen Have you ever follow Gaza's situation? Hundreds of thousands injured or died from the war, and both Gaza and Rafah is facing a serious food crisis, aka famine, in the area, with Israel authority reluctantly let any aid comes into Gaza (even went so far to assassinate them). These protesters have any justification to escalate their actions.

@littleclover @jensorensen I've been following quite closely. Israel recently closed an aid crossing... Because Hamas fired a barrage of rockets at it. Hamas also fired on a dock the US was building to facilitate aid shipments last month. Hamas is working very hard to make this situation worse for Palestinians.Not sure why this justifies violent protests of Israel's right to exist.

@jensorensen Has any media reported about the gas and oil fields on Palestinian territory yet? You know, the one US (media) investors have interest in and might be the reason they're trying to justify a war?Just raising a little point here.https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/israel-gives-nod-gaza-marine-gas-development-wants-security-assurances-2023-06-18/

@littleclover @jensorensen and here's another: https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/04/25/gaza-floating-pier/To clarify they didn't hit the pier itself, they were targeting the marshaling area for the pier, and, presumably, scare off those who want to see it in place.It's also not clear from various sources if it was Hamas or another group of terrorists--it could have been PIJ or an independent terrorist group.

@stupidjim @jensorensen the subject was the justification for the war in Gaza. I explained the justification for the war in Gaza.Zelenskyy isn't willing to give up land to Russia. I stand with him on that. Putin is the one who is not being reasonable.

@stupidjim @jensorensen I hope for peace and safety for innocent civilians as well. I suppose we have different ideas about how to get there, but I appreciate the ultimate goal.

@jensorensen You rock. Sad to this day this still prompts replies from the standard self appointed very rational supporters of a f genocide.

@stupidjim @jensorensen I don't doubt the existence of the gas reserves. Just that this current conflict is *caused by* this.

@stupidjim @jensorensen People keep sharing this as if there's some vast Israeli conspiracy to start this war to get natural gas.

@stupidjim @jensorensen Basically, I don't doubt the facts of Reuters' reporting. I doubt the insinuation behind your choice to share this article.
