The deliberate targeting of civilians in the 1940s was an act of desperation, and should not be used to justify total war in Gaza or elsewhere.  It’s more than a little alarming to see politicians calling for something that will turn Israel into a pariah state.
I doubt Israel is waging total war on Gaza. It's just that the Muslim terrorist types (in this case, Hamas) seem to routinely site their offensive equipment in schools, hospitals, etc. and in this instance burrow beneath such civilian sites likely to cause outcry when the underlying forces and facilities are destroyed. Hamas is not the first to use human shields (even their own people) to try to deflect offensive operations directed toward the combatants. The Chinese troops in Korea marched entire village populations ahead of their wave attacks on US positions. No doubt, they were neither the first, nor certainly, will be the last to do so.

If Gaza wants fewer civilian casualties, they need to get out of the way.
If the civilians are there of their own volition, they are screens for the combatants and are not innocents.

War is Hell, especially for the civilian population in contested areas. This is no exception. That said, I seriously doubt no one saw anything, no one heard anything...we just know no one said anything. As such, that population is part of the picture.

The same logic was used to conventionally bomb much of Europe to ruins, and to firebomb most of the cities in Japan to ashes. 
How much evil does it take to justify some 'collateral damage'?
How bad does your enemy have to be before you can risk killing civilians to get the enemy?

The organizers hand out thousands of condoms. If they really  want no schtupping, they might want to rethink the goodie bags.
But that isn't for real schtupping, it's to prevent AIDS.

Wesa gonna dieee!

In just 10 more years....

Again.

Yeah, no. Kids are often just done with the panic. There is a point with fear where the system overloads and the breakers trip and you just say "F*** it.  I'm just not going to be afraid any more. What happens, will."

Frankly, after 4000+ miles of interstate and even relatively ordinary highway driving, from what I have seen people do on the highways, they just don't care any more--about tomorrow or an hour from now, much less ten years. I saw 2 EVs in five weeks on the road, none in the mountains, and only one on the interstates.

Why is it of any business to the committee who boinks who?
They earned their way there, if they want to boink, let them boink.

Don't know what they did to pry his penny-slot eyes actually open without blinking, whatever they did to him is some Frankenstein weird stuff.
Also, the irises don't seem to be the usual color.

It is already easy to deport illegals.  It's just that no one in the current regime is willing to do it.

Adding a new law does no good when existing laws are being ignored.

Instead, House Democrat leader Hakeem Jeffries did not rule out that the U.S. would have to send troops to the Ukrainian conflict zone if Kyiv is defeated.  “We can’t let Ukraine fall because if that happens, there is a significant possibility that America will have to get involved in the conflict, not just with our money, but with our troops,” Jeffries said.

Maybe you should have thought of that when Biden was diverting tens of billions in Ukraine aid money to the State Department while they were blocking MiG-29 transfers to Kyiv.  With the amount of money earmarked for 'the defense of Ukraine' so far, if that money had been spent on actual weapons instead, this war would be over by now.
