The Israeli army has lost 292 troops in the offensive in total as of today while +36000 palastinians have died. I’d also note that quite a few of those deaths are from friendly fire.
There is a balance to be had between valuing your soldiers lives and the lives of the civilian population, and that balance is completely lost here. I don’t know how anyone can have any doubts about this.

I agree with everything you said. I do not agree with indiscriminate killing though or destroying infrastructure that civilians rely on. I do not agree with the idf overlooking any negligence or intentional breach of their own policies.
There have been many seriously wrong actions taken by members of the IDF with little to no accountability.

Hamas fights in civilian clothes and not in proper uniforms, operates within civilian neighborhoods, schools, mosques and hospitals, steals aid from Gazans and hides it in their tunnels, fires at people crossing through humanitarian corridors, shoots rockets from safe zones and uses human shields to protect its military assets.
And people still wonder why so many civilians die. Israel is subjected to the world's most blatant double standard when it comes to fighting terrorists. It's not like this is a new problem. Every army that has ever had to pacify guerrilla resistance in an urban battlefield has incurred civilian casualties, and Israel appears to be incurring them at a considerably lower than average ratio.
Of course, this double standard has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that Israel is home to the world's most persecuted and irrationally despised minority. Nothing whatsoever. Perish the thought, and how dare I think it.
Hamas has cynical abuse and disregard of their own population. Hamas literally thrive on dead Palestinians where Israel gains nothing from accidentally killing them. And people seem so blind to this that it's sick.

Well jews had already been emigrating (legally) to mandatory Palestine since the 1890s, and drafts for a Jewish nation date back to WW1 times (Balfour declaration). WW2 and the holocaust was certainly empowered the sentiment for a Jewish state, but I have a feeling it would have happened anyway.
>To pretend that Israel isn't a superior and oppressive military power with backing of the biggest bully on Earth (the US) is also dishonest.
Superior certainly. Backed by the US yes, although for less time than one might imagine (at least when it comes to material aid).
>To pretend that Israel hasn't consistently and systematically ignored treaties on where the borders should be is also dishonest.
You mean west bank and settlements? Yeah.
Although reading into the history of that is another quagmire in and of itself. I didn't know half of this myself until recently and it gets my head spinning.
>I will condemn October 7 until the cows come home, they should have been targetting military establishments such as barracks or airfields not civilians.
I mean they're terrorists. They're mostly in it to create terror (and spin negative PR against Israel I suppose) because they have no real way to inflict meaningful military casualties against Israel. And well, by their own words, killing jews is the point.
>Civilians should not have ever been involved in this war and both sides have committed war crimes by breaching those requirements.
Civilians are always involved in a war (and just them being involved is not a war crime). Especially in modern asymmetric warfare, fought in a dense city with guerilla tactics. That's basically the worst form of warfare for civilians.
It's terrible, but thinking that war, especially a war like this could be anything else is idealistic.

I'm working in the US on a TN visa and that was a breeze. Employer's immigration lawyers just assembled a package for me to give to the border officers when I crossed and I got my TN after paying the processing fee.

If you are a high earner is the problem. I was a teacher in the US and so was my bf at the time (professors to be exact). My bf made 35k at a state university in the US with a master's degree. He came to Toronto and now is on the Sunshine list. His quality of life as well as mine has increased dramatically. I cannot imagine going back to the US and being dependent on a husband for quality healthcare--and god forbid they want to change jobs.

80 % of those who qualify. That's not 80% of Canadians , and you do not get back more than you pay in. It's added in every purchase , farm to table and with in all manufacturing and shipping. People have no concept of supply chain.
I for one get nothing and I'm a single person living in an unfinished basement 1800 a month. Everything sounds right on paper and policy until you live it. It also costs me 1400 a month in gas to tend to my clients in their homes and I recieve no mileage or fuel allowance. Oh the government fack us alright. You just don't hear about it. Yes you can claim a portion of expenses and with receipts, nd on doing so I've been fighting cra for 3 yrs. So after costs to go provide care averaged and deducted /my wage is 6$ an hour. But yet I make to much money according to the government. I live on my credit.. people spew numbers, but have no clue how the other half of us live. My hospital coworkers attend food banks as do I. Prior to the liberal government i was middle class, now I am not. Waiting on attack from the so called wise who defend policy I pay for but don't receive .

Something has happened. There’s been a tone shift in Europe and North America. In the US, speaker of the house did a 180 after a pentagon intelligence briefing and put Ukraine aid up for vote. In France, macron proposed French troops deployed to Ukraine. Eastern European countries have increased their military preparedness and rhetoric. Germany has been ramping up military production and Ukraine aid. And all these countries are now letting Ukraine launch their weapons into Russia itself.

What essentially made the difference is the recent attempt at reopening the northern front by Russia. Russia was able to amass forces right up at the border with Ukraine because a lot of the indirect fire weapons Ukraine had to counter such moves were under restrictions to not fire on Russian territory. This allowed Russia to make some 'free' gains with their initial push since Ukraine were never in a position to create effective defensive lines right at the border (you can't build proper defenses within firing range of an enemy you're not allowed to fire back at).
All of this happened exactly as expected by any expert who looked at the situation in the past year, but seeing it actually play out is probably what pushed politicians to either realise that the restrictions were bullshit and needed to be loosened, or gave them enough justification to do it if they had already realised it.

According to the danish foreign minister's official statement, there's never actually been any specific stipulation in place that danish-supplied F-16s could only be used in strikes against targets on Ukrainian territory. As such, the recent statement does not reflect a decision being made, and is just a clarification of how things have always been.

I'm not sure they will fly higher. On the other hand maybe radars are taken out to allow them to fly higher and still surprise Russians.

Because the last time they did, Israel went to war with them and the Palestiniansit caused civil wars in those countries.
It might be because the Palestinians were extreme even for them but what do you expect of a population born into a prison where it is literally like you are born and die without any future. They are not the people that will develop empathy or reasoning beyond survival.
This whole situation is fucked up but russia and Israel are the aggressors here. Israel went to far and pretty early on it was clear that they give no fuck about innocent human lives or their rights.
While russia was condemned and sanctioned for it (rightfully so), we see Israel not even thinking about slowing down and when the world asked not to continue with Rafah they didnt listen. How many innocent children and women are dead now because of that. Where are the sanctions an condemnation from leaders now?

He will let Israel strike Palestinian refugee camps with our weapons so I think this would be a no brainer.

They did prosecute a war, they have been bombing Ukraine for 2 years now, they got 5 million Ukrainians to join Russia since 2014, Ukraine lost 9 million people as refugees, countless settlements, cities, power plants, infrastructures destroyed, their second biggest city is constant bombardment, Russia took 20% of Ukraine, 80% of their coastline, Ukraine is the poorest country in Europe even before Russia took Crimea and Donbas in 2014, it is the most corrupt and have the lowest birthrate, and most dangerous country in the world, there are zero tourism and no flights, their currency is useless, their coal industry is under Russia, most of their fertile lands is occupied, many of their men dead, their women already marrying Western Europeans and will never come back, Putin took 700,000 Ukrainian children, everyday there’s drone and cruise missile stikes, MLRS are being used non-stop to level entire Ukrainian towns and villages, 500,000 artillery shells are being used by both side to destroy Ukranian lands, millions of landmines and unexplode ordinance littered the land. Western Ukraine is the poorest part of their country and Donbas, Kharkov is one of the richest now it’s been taken away from them, Ukraine looks like a post-apocalyptic warzone it’s a perfect weapon testing ground and a graveyard until the last Ukrainian falls. They can’t even take back small villages and has been retreating for 6 months, their last biggest offensive last year they only manage to take 10 small villages even with the help of their western armed divisions. Ukraine is so depressing man should just nuke the whole place to stop their suffering. They are perfect sacrifice for the Western world and the rest of the world doesn’t care about them only Europeans and American does while 6 billion people will continue to trade with Russia.

You can only write a single sentence because you have a brain capacity of an autistic 5 year old, even those can spell better than you.
