USA had a terribly unfair system till 1964. Still the economy was strongest. By constantly focusing on 'fairness' forever, there won't be any progress on any other front. We have a saying that growing a pie is more important that fighting over who is getting a larger slice of the pie. Right now...

Is a reign of fear prevalent? At least the print media seem to be quite frank and fearless in discussing all issues. The gentleman should encourage ideas on how to revive the economy and make Pakistan a productive country.

The picture seems to suggest they are trying to take out tunnels using high pressure explosions. The yellow color indicates high temperature to create air blasts.

I am guessing these are for tunnel busting?

I think their plan, if one chooses to call it so, is to remove all structures that may give cover to the tunnels. Once all structures are removed it will be easy to spot anyone moving around and tackle them from the ground. Basically, if you can't destroy tunnels, remove all inlets and outlets...

Their stated objective is complete routing of Hamas so that they will not be a threat for a long time, (no more rockets, no more raids). Unfortunately, it looks like they are unable to figure a way to do that without destroying Gaza. So, a prisoner exchange and/or ceasefire does not serve them...

I will posit that this is due to rivalry with Saudis than any natural love and affection with Gazans. If they truly had welfare of Gazans in their hearts, they might have dissuaded Hamas from executing October 7. If I love you as my brother, I will do my darndest to stop you from murdering...

Even if true, they don't have to advertise it with blinking neon lights. Sometimes, Political Correctness is good. After 30 days of intense bombing, it is rather obvious that Hamas/Gaza does not have political support from anybody, but why also start urinating on their heads?

People do it all the time. Their love for life usually exceeds love for house and land. You watched 11 million Ukrainians leave Ukraine to escape death from Russia. You may have seen some of them in U.K. too.

Well, this may be an unpopular opinion; When Jordan merged West Bank with Jordan and gave Jordanian citizenship to all Palestinians who were stateless at that time, Jordan ended up with lot of, shall we say, 'difficulties'. That is unlikely to happen with a couple of million Gazans in a nation...

I felt the same way when I saw: 140 avenue des Champs Elysees, 75008 Paris France People go all the way to Paris to east fast food!

Was the border closed in previous Gaza-Israel wars? If not, why did they not leave Gaza then?

Yes, Support for Israel does not equate join a war lightly. President alone can't decide. Congress has to support the decision. How many wars has U.S. started in the Middle East? Kuwait war of 1990 was started after Iraq attacked Kuwait, with an alliance of many countries, including most...

As someone who votes for the President, don't you think I know something about our foreign policy? At least a little better than someone who lives on the other side of the planet? The reason for sending two carrier groups is to deter any attack. It is like a security guy carrying a gun. His...

Wrong; USA has no interest in joining any war; If a war has to involve U.S. in this conflict, it should be a direct, substantial attack by Iran on Israel. Closest analogy I can think of is Kuwait war of 1990, when the whole world supported U.S.

But if they had done nothing, why would Hamas not like to repeat their raid again and again? When did you put your hand in a cookie jar and take out just one cookie?

While the protests and demonstrations are important, one should not place excessive trust in them. I very well remember intense opposition against Iraq war in 2003. Many people felt all the stories about yellow cake, aluminum tubes, trailer full of 'chemicals' a bit too absurd as evidence of...

True; but isn't there a delicate balance where once too many hostages have died, Israel loses all incentive to be careful and make an effort to rescue them and just become a bombing machine? They don't need risky ground operations to destroy the tunnels.

isn't it disadvantageous for Hamas to disclose the hostages have died?

I am by no means envious, but it does feel weird that Indians, who didn't send even a peashooter to Israel, get to 'enjoy' being the target of much hate while we have to pay the tab for this tragedy.
