Israel/Palestine Thread

I believe earlier this year or late last year there was complaints that whenever a deal to release the hostages and end the fighting seemed close, whenever Hamas would agree to the israeli demands, Nethanyahu would just add more new demands. The israeli assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran was a clear sign they absolutely had no interest in any deal. You don't assassinate the people you're trying to negotiate with.

I think its clear by now that israel views the current events as a once in a century opportunity. In the 1940s, they had the opportunity to invade Palestine and found a new state over the mass graves of the Palestinian inhabitants. Since then there has been a gradual slice by slice approach to expand that state. They now believe the propaganda around Oct 7th 2023 has given them another historical opportunity to complete the genocide of the Palestinians. They're not going to stop until they are stopped.

why would Israel build tunnels in Gaza?

Former Prime Minister Ehud Barak said earlier in the war that Israel had built tunnels when they governed Gaza before 2005. Some of these seem to have been in Al Shifra hospital.

Here's a suggested thread title

"Israel - The path to **** Wasrael…"

680 days (+ 77 years) of their genocide of the Palestinian people… Cunts..

I don't know much about that lady outside of a few interviews I have seen with her so haven't a clue about her being antisemetic, but what exactly is controversial about that comment above?

Do you not see a difference between one who works in an administrative role in the Hamas run Gazan government; as a civil servant, a nurse, a doctor, a schoolteacher etc, vs a combatant in the military wing, which conducted terrorist acts such as October 7th?

On the flipside, what do you deem a legitimate military target for Israel? Is a Gazan policeman a terrorist? An ambulance driver? They are all "employed" by Hamas, just like the terrorist combatants. That doesn't mean they are in anyway violent - they are doing important jobs in their society for the regime, rightly or wrongly, that governs them.

We know Israel sees them all as targets - it has systematically murdered such people (and their families) over the last two years. As far as I know, no one has been prosecuted for any crimes against the killing of people in these professions. Do you agree with this?

It looks to me like you read comments from people you disagree with, and your bias excludes you from understanding what they are saying. "Whether we like it or not" is mentioned there by her. That wouldn't indicate support to me. When she says not to only think of Hamas as cutthroats and fighters, she is acknowledging some of Hamas are that (as are some of the IDF evidently) and some are nowhere near that, just like an Israeli schoolteacher shouldn't be targeted because a soldier shoots a starving child dead whilst trying to access food.

There is a military and administrative side to Hamas. Do you seriously not accept this? Saying it doesn't mean you support them or in any way agree with them.

Video on YouTube too

But, you know, Francesca Albanese is an anti-semite for highlighting a litany of war crimes, human rights abuses and ethnic cleansing.

Yet they continue to do it, without any repercussions.

And the Palestinian journalists left behind will be targeted as members of Hamas

And your posts are mealy-mouthed ways of saying "I support Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people."
