About Stormy's salacious testimony, well, I have negative interest in the details of her brief encounter with Trump. Disgusting. However! I think if I were a juror, heaven forbid, one question I would have is, did the alleged encounter really occur? And I think that giving so many details bolsters her claim that, yes, the encounter really did occur. I know that is not the crux of the case - adultery is not a crime - but if the encounter really occurred, Trump has an obvious reason to want to shut her up. Also, he has been accusing her of being a liar ever since the story broke, so I wonder whether some of her performance had to do with her own pride in saying, no, I am not a liar; here are all these details to prove it! I have heard she stood up very well in cross, out thought and outfoxed the defense.
It's not a bimodal choice - Israel vs Hamas. Why is Israel bombing so indiscriminately, and why are they not letting aid into Gaza? Can still pursue Hamas without killing and starving so many citizens.
Also, Gaza needs to be offered a better choice than Hamas.
I can't remember who (probably Bill G), but one of them said it would have resulted in more IDF casualties to use more precise weapons; that makes the most sense to me as a reason. My low opinion of Netanyahu leads me to wonder if it's the only reason, but I'm sure it's an important one.
