Sorry if this is going to be controversial…but in light of all the events a key question has to be asked that should hopefully have only 1 right answer. Do you think a country has a right to defend itself? Well if it does and there is collateral damage, it’s clearly after the country has done it’s best. So can we relax a bit?

Let me ask you this. Do I have a right to defend my home? The answer is absolutely yes. But let's say my neighbor did something that necessitated the need to defend my home. Can I then go attack the neighbor's home by eradicating the inhabitants and potentially their neighbors in the process?

Israel has the right to defend itself - it will be stronger when Bibi leaves but the real win will be when the Iran regime is ousted. Iran has funded and coordinated terrorist proxy groups to attack Israel from all sides for decades, not sure why people would accept this.

If terrorists in Canada or Mexico were consistently launching attacks on the US I’m not sure we would be so chill about it…

smart

When the terrorists stop terrorizing and embrace peace. Tens of thousands of gazans had permits to work in Israel, that number increased every year, now it has gone to 0. This is the result of declaring war on your neighbor.

By the way, Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon want nothing to do with Palestinians due to prior terrorism there as well.

Palestine was under a belligerent occupation prior to October 7th and, per international law, had a right to defend itself.

In response to October 7th, Israel did not act with moderation. They actually destroyed more than 80% of the buildings in Gaza.

Like, you're trying to only hit the bad guys, but accidentally destroy every building in the entire city? That's not believable. We're not as stupid as you think we are.

64 “The Lord will scatter you among all the nations, from one end of the earth to the other, and there you will serve gods made of wood and stone, gods that neither you nor your ancestors have ever worshiped before.
65 You will find no peace anywhere, no place to call your own …

The difference in price is substantial – 2.5k for the traditional course vs 6k for the extended one. Any thoughts/recommendations on which one I should take? In case it is helpful, I come from a civil law country. Thanks!
