So, no warning, indiscriminate attacks that will,purposely harm civilians? This is awful. Hamas have already said they will execute hostages if there are unwarned attacks, so we can expect this to escalate on both sides.
Sadly, yes. Israel is probably getting ready for an ethnic cleansing of the Gaza strip. As per the hostages, it seems like Israel has deemed them as dead already.
From the linked article, emphasis mine:
In certain circumstances, [roof knocking] will be used, the source says, but today Israel is already evacuating masses of the Gaza populace from central terrorist areas and attacking there.
There are also reports of people being ordered to leave their homes and head to the cbd, which is then bombed. It’s a warzone, though, so I’m sure we won’t get fully accurate information.
maybe hamas shouldn't have killed hundreds of civilians purely to provoke a response? maybe the Palestinians should leave now? maybe they shouldn't vote a dead cult like Hamas in as their government?
Yes, Hamas should absolutely not have killed a single Israeli civilian or any civilian period. But none of your maybes justify more killing of civilians in Gaza.
Even if people in Gaza, who are constantly all their lives between a rock and a hard place with no clean water and no future prospects, voted for Hamas, still it does not justify Israel killing civilians.
I never said it 'justifies' it. Unless the civilians clear out, it is unfortunately inevitable. The difference is israelies arent going to be using their forces specifically to target civilians, unlike the other lot of animals
And go where exactly?
who cares where. away. theres an open border. stop pretending they have no choice
Stop pretending you have the first clue about what you're talking about and educate yourself. Thanks.
great retort genius
Yeah, I'm happy with it.
they literally can't leave, and haven't had an election since 2006
so hamas is a terroist dictatorship. who broke into their neighboors place, slaughtered hundreds of innocents for no reason at all, kidnapped dozens more and threaten to kill them, and these are the guys you think are awesome
least bloodthirsty lemming
what? I never said that. fuck hamas and fuck you for suggesting I'd like them
This person seems to think that criticism of Israel makes us Hamas-lovers. Not sure where this shit is coming from.
I've seen this rhetoric before here and I don't understand the goal. Berating everyone who isn't sucking Bibi's dick and calling them terrorist lovers isn't going to create any good will towards Israel, quite the opposite.
I said this in another thread and I will say it again here:
I always find it odd how people blame “extremists” and the Palestinians for this.
Israel starts to steal homes, land and killing men, children and women. No one bat an eye to that.
Then extremists and hate towards Israel came and bam, they are the bad ones suddenly.
Certainly what Hamas does is entirely wrong however - People cannot expect them be silent and get killed by Israeli forces.
This is what happens from decades upon decades of oppression.
This entire conflict was created by Israel stealing land and starting a genocide mission on Palestinians.
In my eyes, yes. I was absolutely a 'both sides are as bad as each other' person 3 days ago. Now Its obvious one side is objectively worse and crossed a line that cant be walked back without serious blood and retribution
Hypocrisy at its finest.
EDIT: so basically you are saying, you are fine with Israel killing millions upon millions of Palestinian people but when it Hamas is doing the exact same thing that’s wrong.
EDIT 2: how can you be “be for both sides”? One side is committing genocide and the other is fighting for their right to live. Hamas was literally created around 1987s to fight back for Palestinians lives.
When peaceful revolution is impossible, violence revolution is inevitable.
least bloodthirsty tankie
What do you mean by that?
run it through google translate if its too hard for you
Such a well made argument, seems you got no better nor valid ones and thus you have to do such behavior. Glad blocking existing.
sweet, one less unemployed tankie that will reply with nonsense
You've had plenty of good counter arguments to your opinions in this thread. Instead of engaging you've decided to act like a petulant asshole. You're a small part of the problem.
Every. Single. Source. Online and in REAL LIFE (the thing you have no idea about) echos my sentiment. This site is literally the only place overwhelmingly overrun by little murder loving neckbeard terrorists who painting their keyboards with jizz over the attacks. I have not seen a rational counter argument by you violence lovers yet. Hell, Ive had one heavily upvoted reply tell me Palestine is SURROUNDED by Isreal, a quick google maps view instantly proves how downright stupid this claim is.
Arsehol? yep. You can have your extremist silly opinions and im gonna call your shit out, if that makes me an arshole, ill wear it with pride. Ive never seen so many people excited to see a massacre, but this is also a site that worships bricks like Putin, Xi and Lenin so I guess Hamas is right up your neckbeard communist alley
Sounds like you should probably delete your account and go hang out where the super-smart, non-neckbeards are because most people here seem to think you're an asshole troll who acts out whenever you get called on your bullshit.
you want a safe space where you can only hear how great terrorism and civilan murder is? weird kink but ok....
You know how I know I'm dealing with an asshole troll? The troll pretends it knows who I am, how I live, and what I think.
Me? I don't care who you are, and that's absolutely fine.
call it a very educated guess based on your rediculous opinions that arent based on anything real
I wouldn't call it very educated, you can't even spell ridiculous.
