British Petroleum (BP) wanted access to Iranian oil for the war effort. Dude. It's OK to stand down on that one. The shah of Iran isn't running against Biden. 🤣

Pretty much everyone has a strong stance on one side or the other. Dr Philly? Care to weigh in as the resident expert? 12 hours ago, Phillyterp85 said: There's a 3rd side that's pretty sizable that I think you are ignoring. The side that thinks Israel should wipe Hamas out while taking precautions to mitigate civilian deaths but also understanding that civilian deaths are a tragic reality of war. And also understanding that the way Hamas embeds themselves into the civilian population and into the civilian infrastructure makes it that much harder to minimize civilian deaths. I think PhillyTerp has pretty much covers it here. I'd just add that I believe Israel should ensure that they commit to an improved situation for civilian Palestinians post Hamas and they should be actively involved in open discussions on the topic. I get that they want full focus on destroying Hamas but they do need to look forward with both the optics and the actual practical improvements. Sadly, it would seem that Netanyahu isn't the least bit interested. btw - We have full on arctic paradise type weather over here right now and Taylor Swift is in town for three crazy concerts (no, not going and not interested but it is quite a circus).
