This is going to be unpopular, and I will accept the down votes. Also, I will never support Trump or any of his lackies. However, those on this forum believe that she is writing that as "finish them" towards the Palestinians, when in actuality I bet she's writing that as "finish them" towards hamas. That doesn't excuse anything. Just stating that they believe they are killing terrorists. They are just ignoring the innocent. Good intentions don't justify this though let me make that very clear.

I have no interest in downvoting you, but I would like to say that on priors, I would be surprised to learn that she saw "Hamas" and "Palestinians" as anything other than a distinction without a difference. She's electively of a set with Lindsey "Nuke Gaza" Graham, and she's voting for Trump apparently now, who has been very vocal about his support for the "kill them all" perspective.

Do you have specific evidence that leads you to believe otherwise, or is it more of a charity in humanity thing?

Nikki plainly said word by word "Palestinians came, robbed, and killed Israelis."

She recieved over a million dollar from AIPAC during last year alone and has been Israeli's right-wing puppet for over a decade. She also previously supported and made numerous genocidal statements including nuking Gaza.

Do you know who has the highest percent of immegrants in the whole world? Palestinians. Go look it up.

Israel before Oct-7 is an apartied state. They are land colonizers occupying, starving and continuely bombing and killing Palestinian people.

How can you pretend that was the best democracy in the middle east and most moral army when the treatment, evictions, land stealing, long and unjustified random imprisonmemt without charge, killings, and oppression the Palestinians were living, before Oct-7, was worse than living in the worst oppressive dictatorships of the middleeast? More than 90% of Israel prisoners are Palestinians. An Israeli can just kill any Palesinian kid and wouldn't get a week in jail. Go look up the 100000 of times that happened before Oct-7.

How do you pretend the way Israel was besieging Gaza and continuely "mowing the lawn" was acceptable? Palestinians have the right to just fucking live like Israelis. Is this statement unreasonable for you? If not, then they have the right to free themselves, and the whole western world must stop the hypocracy and pretend it's acceptable for Israel to exist the way it is. They muat sanction and isolate Israel's government like they did to Russia until it gets it act together and just be a normal country that does not colonize and kill people from different race or religion.

Unbelievable that you can see all this carnage, deliberate use of non surgical engagement, calling Palestinians animals, calling leveling entire population centers "mowing the lawn", and think they are fighting Hamas.

They know exactly what they're doing, they'll tell you themselves even.

Nimrata Nikki Randhawa just forgot she was brown.

I would argue that someone who writes "finish them" on weapons of war has absolutely no ability to comprehend nuances like the ones you described. That or she wants to be likened to people who lack that ability. Anyway, it's equally abysmal and she doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt you are trying to give her.

They were never fighting hamas to begin with

They were just happy to have an opportunity to make it look as though they were.

It would be of no surprise to me if Netanyahu orchestrated Hamas' attack.

At a minimum they certainly knew it was coming and reduced the number of IDF near the border and sent in their own helicopters to shoot civilians so they could pump the civilian numbers up and blame Hamas.

It would be surprising to me

Why? Israel has been trying to take that land since 1917.

They haven’t taken it yet because of Hamas.

And why is Hamas there if we follow the entire timeline?

They’re there as resistance to the occupation. I’m not sure where these questions are going.
