It's a real simple question.

Why can't Jews live there?

Come at me.

I believe that the current Hamas claim is 22,000 to 24,000 "civilian" dead.

With no breakdown by age or gender and no admittance of any fighters killed at all.

Out of a population estimated at 2.3 million last year with an annual population growth rate of 1.99%, the 39th-highest in the world.

Most recent IDF estimate is between 9000 and 10,000 fighters killed so far.

All of these (from both sides) are estimates. Literally just guessing.

Not a genocide, by any possible definition.

Bless her heart....

@th3j35t3r Four score and seven years ago... tremendous years, folks. The best years, believe me. We had this great nation, and it was doing so well. But then, there was this tremendous, I mean really tremendous, conflict - a big conflict, folks. And it was all about whether this nation, under the tremendous God, could endure, could really, truly endure. We are now engaged in a tremendous civil war, folks. It's a tremendous war, let me tell you. And we have these brave, incredible people fighting. Incredible people, I've met some of them, they're just tremendous. They're fighting here, in Gettysburg. And we've come to dedicate a tremendous portion of this field, folks. A tremendous portion, believe me. To these incredible people who gave everything so that this nation could be great, folks. But, folks, in a larger sense, it's all about making America great again. We can't let their tremendous sacrifice be in vain. We have to win this war, folks. We have to win it big-league. So that government of the people, by the people, and for the people - my people, the American people - shall not perish from this earth. Because let me tell you, folks, we're going to make America great again. Thank you, thank you very much.
