Hamas strike on Israel - mod warning in OP updated 19/10/23

If Gaza was ruled by peace lovers with Hamas terrorists gone would Israel be bombing it?

Worth a try?

What happened on Saturday was legimate?

Israeli baby murdering apologist scumbag.

Two can play this stupid game.

US intelligence confirm Israel were warned.

Unbelievable from an attorney. There is only one answer and they are scared to say it.

Predictably, another glib response.

An eye witness who was there, who testified about it to a reputable media outlet. You have absolutely no information that they were there as a soldier - this is disinformation on your part, purely your own fabrication. This is something you have jumped on to avoid engaging with the evidence. It was a music festival attended by civilians where Hamas raped and executed at will. Or are all the deaths of civilians at the festival an invention too?

Do you dispute that entire families were executed by Hamas?

Or are you trying to discredit that also?

Do you accept it is possible, given such a horrific attack, that rapes and mutilations also occurred? It must be considered a serious and realistic possibility in such a sequence of horrific attacks.

Why is it every such claim is therefore met by default by you with automatic attempts to discredit or glib responses therefore? Reserving judgment is one thing, but that is not what you are doing.

What kind of evidence do you think would be forthcoming from such an attack, when victims are executed or abducted as hostages? Well?

You won't accept any evidence provided by reputable outlets so if you want more evidence - as you seem to do - you can go looking for it in the dregs of the internet to satisfy yourself. It seems to be the only proof you will accept because any claims made by the victims themselves you will no doubt try to discredit also, as you have already done so with eye witness testimony.

It is plain to see any excuse will be deployed in your posts to avoid condemning Hamas atrocities.

Well well.

Yeah what’s that again?

Going to over react? What would you call denying a civilian population water electricity and fuel? How is that targeting hamas military targets or infrastructure?

Where or when did I ever justify the wholesale slaughter of any group?

Will people please please stop twisting my words.

All I have said is that you cannot compare people being caught in crossfire or being killed during bombing campaigns to a terrorist group rampaging around butchering babies and doing unspeakable things to women.

I don’t want to see innocent Palestinians killed wholesale but surely you can agree Hamas should wiped off the face of the earth?

Disgusting to see ppl attempt to justify the barbarity of what Hamas did.

I wouldn’t insult gorillas by comparing them to Hamas.

I understand what you're saying but the fact that you speak about any group being "wiped off the face of the earth " shows how little you understand about why people join militant or paramilitary groups. BTW this is not a criticism of you, you are in "good" company with a lot of government powers. The bottom line is if you treat people like **** and deny them equality there will be repercussions. And of course add in a dollop of religious nonsense and it gets even worse.
