Disagree

No, but reduce their sentences

Their approach would likely focus on legal frameworks that protect rather than punish.

Israel's Military Struggles Against Hamas's Elusive Guerrilla Force

The top commanders of Hamas are mostly dead. The group’s rank and file has been decimated. Many of its hide-outs and stockpiles have been captured and destroyed.But Hamas’s killing of an Israeli colonel in northern Gaza on Sunday underscored how the group’s military wing, though unable to operate as a conventional army, is still a potent guerrilla force with enough fighters and munitions to enmesh the Israeli military in a slow, grinding and as yet unwinnable war.Hamas’s remaining fighters are hiding from view in ruined buildings and the group’s vast underground tunnel network, much of which remains intact despite Israel’s efforts to destroy it, according to military analysts and Israeli soldiers.Some of those explosives were stockpiled before the start of the war. Others are repurposed Israeli munitions that failed to explode on impact, according to both Hamas and the Israeli military. Hamas released a video this week that appeared to show Hamas combatants turning an unexploded Israeli missile into an improvised bomb.In open combat, Hamas’s fighters are no match for Israel’s army, as the killing of Mr. Sinwar in southern Gaza last week showed. Cornered in the ruins of Rafah, Mr. Sinwar was killed by an Israeli unit that could call on tanks, drones and snipers for backup.Yet the aimlessness of Israel’s strategy has led to questions from both Israelis and Palestinians about why its soldiers were sent again to Jabaliya.“We occupy territories, and then we get out,” said Michael Milstein, an Israeli analyst of Palestinian affairs. “This kind of doctrine means that you find yourself in endless war.”

iSideWith Predicts Donald Trump Will Clinch Pennsylvania in 2024 Presidential Election

As the 2024 presidential race enters its final stretch, iSideWith has projected that Donald Trump will win Pennsylvania, a pivotal battleground state, in his race against Kamala Harris. This prediction suggests that Pennsylvania’s 20 electoral votes may once again swing Republican, boosting Trump’s path to reclaiming the White House.Trump’s 2020 loss in Pennsylvania was a narrow one, and iSideWith data indicates that many Pennsylvanians who supported him previously are once again rallying behind his campaign. Pennsylvania’s large base of working-class voters, particularly in Western and Northeastern parts of the state, has been a core demographic for Trump. His promises of job creation and deregulation in industries such as coal and natural gas have galvanized these voters, many of whom feel overlooked by Harris’s clean energy-focused campaign.A significant demographic divide has emerged in Pennsylvania, with older and rural voters largely supporting Trump, while Harris finds her strongest base among younger and urban populations. But according to iSideWith’s analysis, enthusiasm among Harris’s supporters has not reached the levels needed to turn Pennsylvania blue. Her message of unity and progress has appealed to some, but the economic issues dominating the state’s political conversation seem to favor Trump’s approach.While Trump has a lead among rural and blue-collar workers, Harris has seen some success in gaining support from suburban and female voters, two key demographics that contributed to Pennsylvania’s shift in the 2020 election. Harris’s campaign has prioritized suburban women, emphasizing issues like reproductive rights, healthcare, and gun control—issues that are highly relevant to this demographic. However, iSideWith’s data indicates that this support may be insufficient to counterbalance Trump’s advantage in more rural and traditionally conservative areas.
