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

You can post it when I post saying that Hamas should continue their objective, as you have done. Or do you not get how this works?

No one is supporting Hamas, you, and plenty others are most definitely supporting Israel. They are the ones who have killed probably 15K+ people.

Despite countless public claims that show Israel wishes to destroy Gaza, it is in fact Hamas who is committing genocide. Surely they must understand that this conflict has been going on for decades and did not start on the 7th of October

Breakthrough News would disagree with that.

No just that its no surprise the likes of you would be getting "news" from there. The views line up seamlessly.

I'm sure given your very strong opinions on the subject you must know the history of the region, so you must be aware that the map you posed is incorrect.

Why are you not acknowledging that it was Egypt, Jordan and Syria that invaded Arab Mandated Palestinian and Egypt and Jordan occupied and annexed Gaza and the West Bank respectively?

I'm sure you are aware of the fact that it was Jordan and Egypt that denied the Palestinian Arabs a homeland, not the Israelis.

I'm sure you know that in 1948 Israel had accepted the UN plan for the partition of Palestine.

I'm sure you know all about the Great Arab Revolt, Hussein bin Ali, the unified Arab State which the British promised to support and how artificial and recent the concept of ethno-nationalism is in the region.

So, again, why are posting what you must know are totally false maps?

There has been quite a few posters supporting or defending Hamas over the course of the thread. Those who won't condemn them for their atrocities, the "just asking questions" brigade. Those who insinuate the entire operation was some sort of Israeli false flag operation. There were even some posts in the early stages of the thread with posts virtually cheering on Hamas, what's that phrase - sneaking regard, no doubt from those who were the sort to cheer on terrorism here.

If you think no one is supporting Hamas, you just haven't been paying attention to the thread.

Please post links to Israeli Ministers, leadership or Military saying that they intend to commit genocide, kill all Palestinian Arabs in Gaza or push out the Palestinian Arab population of Gaza. You'll also have to show me where they detail their plans for the 1.6 million Palestinian Arabs who are citizens of Israel, you know, the only ones who can be openly atheist or gay. If we're talking genocide then there must be a plan to kill all of those as well and since your opinion is based on what you have heard from Israeli Ministers, leadership and Military you've obviously heard them talking about their plan.

I've posted a video, the content speaks for itself. That is the focus, not whatever you are trying to imply or deflect to in some bizarre manner.

You doing so proves itself as to just how the messages in the video blow apart this BS Israeli narrative that all they care about is the hostages.

So, comment on that, or don't, I don't care. But I'm not going to be sidetracked in what ever manner you are attempting. It's quite laughable.

So its the adorable word salad regurgitated so you can pretend your source hasn't praised Hamas "resistance" before.

Like I said, perfect source for you and your ilk.

Predictable.

You made a statement that there are no Hamas supporters on the thread, this doesn't even begin to justify that claim. Then you even go and contradict yourself that there are Hamas supporters popping up!

You can't keep your story straight. It is a total falsehood.

If you think there's nobody on the thread supporting Hamas, you just haven't been paying attention. It can be more subtle than then obvious ones you allude to.

Ah, now it's the 'maps are fake' nonsense.

These maps have been referenced in the thread nearly since its opened but now it's 'the maps are fake approach'?

Tell me, was Nethanyahu's map he presented at the UN fake as well? That only happened in September, so which is it, he was lying, or showing intent?

The Map you posted showing the Arab and Jewish Palestinian areas is nonsense. Did you now know that?

But you're only advocating for the Palestinian Arabs that are being killed, not the Palestinian Jews, the ones who were actually literally butchered. You only seem to be advocating for the Palestinian Arabs who have been killed by Israeli weapons, with no real energy expended to contextualise why and who put them in harms way.

You're also not explaining where Hamas has come from, not even close. You are regurgitating anti-Israeli rhetoric that in devoid of real historical context.

Tbf, there is actually plenty of sources available for this online. I posted this a while ago but still relevant to your question. If it’s not sufficient let me know and I'm sure I could easily pull more out.

Eh, you are the one who stated there were no Hamas supporters on the thread. Then you destroyed your own argument by saying they were Hamas supporters on the thread. You can't keep your story straight. So now we get this "word salad".

Then you again destroy your own argument by posting this: "Stop pretending that you get to declare what is happening on the thread just because it is your say so."

Isn't that exactly what you have done? And can't even keep your story straight when doing so.

So your words rebound right back at you.
