i think we should stay out of it

 @9H8YRG5Republican from Idaho  commented…2yrs2Y

Its kind of sad to think that people are starting to get drafted to war once again.

 @9H92X7J from Tennessee  commented…2yrs2Y

i think they should be trained highly for this

 @9H8YZJ6commented…2yrs2Y

I believe there is no reason for Americans to be placed in a one-sided genocide.

 @9H976WJLibertarian from Wyoming  commented…2yrs2Y

Where drafting people for a war that will never end

 @9H995ZH from California  commented…2yrs2Y

The U.S. should not stand with Israel, they should not be sending troops and murdering innocent people in Gaza and the West Bank.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What are the ethical implications of sending American citizens to fight in a war that may not align with their personal beliefs?

 @9H8TK54 from Georgia  answered…2yrs2Y

that people that would never kill or don't want to kill are most likely going to be forced now, and with the country we are in supporting Israel, we will most likely add to the innocent civilian deaths.

 @9H8TXLVDemocrat from Washington  answered…2yrs2Y

A war might be ethical but the means unethical, for instance, using landmines, torture, chemicals and current debate is concerned with drones.

 @9H8TN5Y from Arkansas  answered…2yrs2Y

I have no idea if this applies for natural citizens of the US, but new citizens have to accept to go into war whenever the US calls them up. It has to do with the Oath Of Allegiance and maybe more.

 @UnstoppableConstitutionfrom Kansas  answered…2yrs2Y

I have my own personal opinion on this but tiny Israel represents a disproportionate amount of overseas usa voting there's even a dem and gop Israel branch.

 @T4riffJosh from California  commented…2yrs2Y

Well theyre also Israeli citizens, plenty of which live in the USA. They have dual citizenship. Israel has mandatory service. Theyve been called to the draft, but this obviously doesnt necessarily mean theyll necessarily go all fight. Just there could be consequences if they dont

 @9H8Z8VW from California  commented…2yrs2Y

America is getting directly involved in war that associates with US allies.

 @9H8V55V from Illinois  commented…2yrs2Y

Its a war in a different country and we are killing a lot of Americans for it, yes i think its an important cause but also these are Americans being forced to go

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Can you justify a situation where American lives are risked for a war that the US is not directly involved in?

 @9H8TYTD from Alabama  answered…2yrs2Y

No, This war is not only wasting are money and American lives but also putting us in danger for a World War.

 @9H8TXLVDemocrat from Washington  answered…2yrs2Y

Isolationists believed that World War II was ultimately a dispute between foreign nations and that the United States had no good reason to get involved.

 @9H8TN5Y from Arkansas  answered…2yrs2Y

I feel like one of the only ways the US can be harmed or at risk is if World War III happens. Other from that I don't know why we would be at risk when other countries are in conflict.

 @9H8TYLD from Arkansas  commented…2yrs2Y

Press is a freedom and there should be more news sources that are more down the middle instead of being so split

 @9H8W2PFRepublican from Virginia  commented…2yrs2Y

American's, under no circumstance, should be drafted into a war that wasn't voted on by congress.

 @9H8YLNP from Nebraska  commented…2yrs2Y

I think its good that we are helping them fight in the war.

 @9H8YFV8 from Kentucky  commented…2yrs2Y

I understand people are needed to help but not young men that are 18 and leaving their families

 @9H97XYY from Iowa  commented…2yrs2Y

I am now 18 so, I am able to be drafted now.

 @9H8XVLK from North Carolina  commented…2yrs2Y

i think that israel should keep its land and palestine should keep its land, there is no reason to still be fighting over land

 @9H92N9F from South Carolina  commented…2yrs2Y

I think that we are getting ready for war

 @9H9FDQVPeace and Freedom from Illinois  commented…2yrs2Y

It’s important that we help whoever we can

 @9H9CKKZ from Florida  commented…2yrs2Y

Because it is a big war that is happening today and affecting the world around us

 @9H9BTP7 from Georgia  commented…2yrs2Y

I feel like it's more important than the others. Probably because people are dying.

 @9H9BRFCPeace and Freedom from Texas  commented…2yrs2Y

cool that they help a country they like

 @9H93DZDcommented…2yrs2Y

Its stupid knowing that these young men are going out to fight a war where innocent children and families are being slaughtered by bombings. It would make the matter worse, we should focus on our own nation instead of get into other nations problems.

 @9H8YNDV from Georgia  commented…2yrs2Y

I believe Hamas needs to be abolished and Isreal needs all the help that they can get to do so.

 @9H953HX from Georgia  commented…2yrs2Y

because some people dont wanna risk there lives for war but they still get drafted

Horror in Northern Gaza: U.S. Questions Israel After Civilians Slaughtered in Residential Attack

An Israeli strike on a residential building in northern Gaza killed dozens of people early Tuesday, the territory’s emergency service said, in the latest attack to cause mass casualties in the area since Israel renewed its offensive against Hamas in the north.The Palestinian Civil Defense, the emergency service, said at least 55 people were killed in the strike in the town of Beit Lahia. Gaza’s health ministry said at least 93 people were dead, including 25 children. The Israeli military said in a statement that it was “aware of reports that civilians were harmed” in the town and was looking into the details.Matt Miller, a U.S. State Department spokesman, called the strike “a horrifying incident with a horrifying result” and said the Biden administration had contacted the Israeli government to ask what happened.Israeli forces renewed their offensive in northern Gaza this month, saying they were trying to stem a regrouping of Hamas, the militant group that attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, sparking the war in Gaza.The strike comes days after another Israeli attack on a residential block in Beit Lahia that left dozens of people killed or wounded, according to the Palestinian Civil Defense. The Israeli military confirmed the strike on Sunday, saying that the air force had “conducted a precise strike” targeting Hamas fighters.An overnight Israeli airstrike hit another residential building in the town on Oct. 20, killing dozens of people, Palestinian officials and emergency workers said.Roughly 400,000 people remain in northern Gaza, according to the United Nations, and many have been trapped in their ruined neighborhoods.

Death, Denial, and Silence: Inside China’s Push to Bury Zhuhai’s Devastating SUV Attack

Outside the sports center in the southern city of Zhuhai where a 62-year-old man had plowed an S.U.V. into a crowd, killing at least 35 people, workers on Wednesday quickly removed bouquets of flowers left by grieving residents. Uniformed police officers and officials in plainclothes shooed away bystanders and warned them not to take photos. At hospitals where patients were taken after the attack — at least 43 more people were injured — local officials sat outside the intensive care units, blocking journalists from speaking with family members.On the Chinese internet, censors were mobilized to delete videos, news articles and commentaries about the attack. Almost 24 hours had passed before officials divulged details about the assault, which happened on Monday, including the death toll. Their statement offered limited details, and they have held no news conferences.The response was a precise enactment of the Chinese government’s usual playbook after mass tragedies: Prevent any nonofficial voices, including eyewitnesses and survivors, from speaking about the event. Spread assurances of stability. Minimize public displays of grief.The goal is to stifle potential questions and criticism of the authorities, and force the public to move on as quickly as possible. And to a large degree, it appeared to be working.Though many residents of Zhuhai, the city of 2.4 million where the attack happened, were clearly shaken, they said on Wednesday they had not questioned the delay in information, attributing it to the government’s need to first sort out what had happened. A steady stream of people arrived by foot or taxi to lay flowers at the sports center’s entrance, but when officials took away the flowers and told the people not to linger, they quickly complied.Local governments have also vowed in recent months to spend more time screening for people who have experienced “failures,” after a spate of violent attacks, including several cases in which schoolchildren were stabbed.But officials were also clearly on the lookout for any deeper scrutiny of the Zhuhai killings. Videos and photos of the scene of the attack showed only as grayed-out squares on Weibo, a social media platform. Blog posts urging people not to treat violent attacks as isolated incidents, but rather to look deeper for potential social causes, disappeared.
