Forces had no direct confrontation with Hamas terrorists who killed hostages; ‘The IDF and security forces are doing everything possible to bring all hostages home as quickly as possible. This news shakes us all,’ says army spokesperson Hagari
Israeli forces discovered the bodies of six hostages in a 65-foot-deep tunnel in Rafah, approximately a kilometer from where hostage Farhan Alkadi was recently freed. The IDF had no precise intelligence on the hostages’ location in recent months but knew there were captives in the sector, leading to a gradual and cautious operation in Rafah since the ground offensive began.
So you can’t name a single decision made by the Palestinian government that has improved their life over the last 20 years rather making things worse for them?
That’s irrelevant. Because, as I said, the choices are absolute shit rulers or complete destruction. You are seeming to think I’m arguing Hamas are the good guys here.
When presented with the choice of destruction by Israel or a horrific theocratic regime, they are making the only choice available.
Harm Reduction. If Israels goal was to help the Palestinian people, they would be using the carrot rather than the genocidal stick.
Except complete destruction wasn’t a card on the table before Hamas.
Israel is also not the ones who suspended all future Palestinian elections.
Israel isn’t grooming Palestinian children i to working as Hamas terrorists by producing children’s cartoons blaming Jews for homosexuality, etc.
Israel can be wrong in their response, 100%. But we need to be clear: Hamas is only capable of getting Palestinians murdered. They serve no other purpose.
Israel, as a currently established state is literally a product of displacing Palestinians dictated by English Colonial Mandate.
The dissolution of Palestine was always on the table from the outset.
And let’s for a moment entertain the notion that Hamas is responsible for their ethnic cleansing in its entirety. How do you explain what’s happening right now in the West Bank?
The horrors of October 7th are being used a a pretext.
Hamas sucks in totality, but they only have any ounce of power because they are filling the vaccum created by Israel’s oppression. Weve already sonw this (the US), in our war on terror. I’ll put it this way, If Israel was peaceful, they’d have the entire worlds support right now instead of practically nobody except the US. Hamas would be public enemy #1 if Israel didn’t use that event as an excuse for genocide.
They got Israel to leave Gaza so there we go. That’s one. They help Palestinians who have lost everything to get revenge on their oppressors. There’s another one. And they’re helping push a two-state solution and elevated this issue of the Palestinian plight more than it’s ever been raised before.
- Israel is in Gaza because of Hamas’ actions.
- Palestinians are more oppressed by Israel than they were before Oct. 7. Hamas offering revenge has weakened Palestine, without even needing to mention Hamas themselves are oppressors of the Palestinian people as well.
- Palestinians have never been further from a 2 state solution than they are now, directly due to Hamas’ actions.
- You suddenly being aware of the struggle facing the Palestinian people because of Hamas hasn’t done anything to help the Palestinian people. It’s only radicalized you into supporting right wing theocratic terrorism committed against Jews. Unless you want to tell me you personally have taken concrete steps to helping Palestinian people ag the behest of Hamas. I would love to hear about it.
