Killings of Palestinian children are soaring in the West Bank.

Murder is not an emotional word.
They have been murdered.

That is you using emotional loaded language.
They are casualties of war.
A war started by Hamas and the 'palestinians'
A war that Hamas and the 'palestinians' could have ended and none of this would be happening.

You actually have to see what the President of Brazil said.

Don't care.
Brazil is a crap hole country with massive human rights abuses and problems.
He can take care of his own country first before pointing fingers at someone
on the other side of the globe.

The thing with this den is not all the rattlesnakes are going to die. The surviving rattlesnakes are going to be gathered up and let loose in your backyard where they'll thrive and continue to populate. So now the den isn't thousands of miles away across land and sea. You can see it right from your kitchen window.

Is blowing up that den really serving the purpose it was meant to?

No, it just slows them down to keep them from killing everything in their path, kind of like why farmers use pesticides on their crops. You can't kill them all, but you can mitigate the damage they cause.

I agree with you to a degree but all it really means is we're going to have to exert more time & energy and funnel more money on "pesticides". We can spend all kinds of money on pesticides but eventually, pesticides will become the poison instead of the cure.

Economic-wise, we are already at a breaking point. What's going to send us straight over the cliff?Who really knows. I guess that's what they call a Black Swan event.

The problem with ideologies is they don't die inside a physical body. It's just like liberals and the gun issue. Liberals have the simplified idea if we just take all the guns, that will solve the gun problem. No it won't. Guns are more than physical structures of metal. Guns are an idea. A concept that's already been birthed, it's out in the world, now. Like the Genie out of the bottle, there's no putting it back. You can destroy every gun in the world but as long as there's a human alive who has the mental concept of a gun, then guns will always exist. And so will the problems. It's no different with any other ideology or concept. You can kill every Palestinian or every Muslim but as long as humanity exists, the idea of Islam will still remain along with all the problems.

I think we passed the breaking point awhile back, myself; we just don't realize it yet.

What you've said makes a lot of sense. As long as there are humans there will be differences that will cause people to fight each other for dominance. Throw a little money and privilege into the mix and you have another cause to start a war over.

I think you're right. They're just keeping the economy on life support until someone decides to pull the plug.

I'm wonder if the plug will be pulled around November, no matter what the outcome of the election. It seems the Obiden plan to 'fundamentally change America' is going forward at mach 5 these days.

Recently the ICC may be looking to take action against what is happening, and seems to be facing an opposition, people trying to prevent them from doing their job:

"ICC demands end to threats against court amid Gaza war probe

The prosecutor’s office at the International Criminal Court (ICC) has appealed for an end to what it calls intimidation of its staff, saying such threats could constitute an offence against the “administration of justice” by the world’s permanent war crimes court.
The Hague-based office of ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan said in a statement on Friday that all attempts to impede, intimidate or improperly influence its officials must cease immediately.
While the prosecutor’s statement did not mention Israel, it was issued after Israeli and US officials have warned of consequences against the ICC if it issues arrest warrants over Israel’s war on Gaza.
“The Office seeks to engage constructively with all stakeholders whenever such dialogue is consistent with its mandate under the Rome Statute to act independently and impartially,” Khan’s office said.
“That independence and impartiality is undermined, however, when individuals threaten to retaliate against the Court or against Court personnel should the Office, in fulfillment of its mandate, make decisions about investigations or cases falling within its jurisdiction.”
It added that the Rome Statute, which outlines the ICC’s structure and areas of jurisdiction, prohibits threats against the court and its officials."

Israel continues to interfere with attempts to get aid to the people of Gaza:

"Israel has attacked aid workers and relief convoys ‘over and over again’, says Human Rights Watch report

Israeli forces have mounted repeated strikes on humanitarian aid workers’ residences and relief convoys in Gaza since October, according to a report by Human Rights Watch (HRW).
Eight attacks investigated by HRW took place even after the United Nations and international aid groups provided co-ordinates for housing locations and convoy routes. Israel’s military “did not issue advanced warnings to any of the aid organisations”, HRW said. At least 15 people were killed, including two children, and 15 injured in the cases cited.
President Michael D Higgins said the HRW report demonstrated “how these are not isolated incidents”.
The United Nations has said that more than 250 aid workers have been killed in Gaza over the course of the conflict, he pointed out.
“On a matter like this there can be no equivocation, it must be condemned by all those who believe in humanitarian principles. Silence on this matter would reflect badly on any member of the European Union.”
The most publicised incident was the co-ordinated attack on April 1st by three Israeli drones on a three-vehicle convoy of the US-based World Central Kitchen (WCK) which killed British, Polish, Australian, US-Canadian and Palestinian staff. HRW associate director Belkis Wille said it “was shocking and should never have happened under international law”."

More propaganda, Israel took responsibility for 7 aid workers and injured, that is no doubt about it, the rest is speculation paid by sponsored terrorist and hamas backers like Iran. Is a war zone and all the propaganda is to take away the fact that barbarian Inhumans took the life of many of the hostages taken by hamas.

More propaganda.

You sound ignorant on the logistics of aid in a war zone. Aid workers historically have sought permission to enter a major conflict zone to render aid. There is no ceasefire unless it’s agreed upon by both sides to allow aid workers into conflict zones. Entering into a conflict zone to deliver aid without permission from both sides is not advisable, keyword being “permission”. You can tell them what you want to do all day long but until you receive “permission”, you enter at your own peril. Word of advise… maybe not a good idea for aid workers to be in a conflict zone with on going active military exercises.

WCK learned the hard way, they have since ceased aid operations.
