    This is what the media have been blind to. It's as if they've suddenly forgotten all the global acts of terrorism from unrelated muslim extremist groups that followed 9/11.

    It's not just Israel v Hamas.

    Big picture, a lot of normal Muslims will see this (Media from 2021) which may also soften the stance on terrorist groups.



    Israel's heavy handed actions have only helped Hamas/Iran/Putin seed future disruption. The images of destruction in Gaza and the death toll especially of children... The rest of the world loses here in both humanity and safety.

    Just throwing out some random ideas as to why...

    1- Ending the Palestinian conflict status quo, where the world has 'accepted' it, and Saudi Arabia was in talks to normalize relations. That's now off the table.

    2- Freeing their prisoners. Hamas has stated that they will now be able to get all prisoners released (there are 5,000+ prisoners). In the past, Israel released 1,027 prisoners in exchange for one Israeli soldier. They also captured hostages from multiple nationalities, which they can use as bargaining chips. (So no, they won't just execute them or place them somewhere to be bombed).

    3- Osama bin Laden's strategy - a war of attrition, bleeding resources

    Sounds like what the right does 24/7, blaming everyting on Biden, but, whatever. You might also want to re-read my statement about those being conspiracy theories.

    Don't b showing too much of these or u will b accused of being antisemtic, or pro hamas by some folks on here.

    Apparently feeling sorry for innocent palestine lives and disgust with Israel retaliation response that led to this little girl situation is all it takes for the accusations to come out.

    It's really fked up that she has to experience this.

    Your Islamist friend in the video (who appears to be backed by a lot of leftists) is "trying to say different".

    Flew right over your head, nothing new there.

    Indeed. Likely not a coincidence.

    no?
    Israel officially declared war on Hamas (this did happen)
    after Hamas led a terrorist attack on Israel

    U don't really have to declare war to launch an attack especially if you are a terrorist group, it ruins the point of surprise

    it's a pretty accurate title

    As I said earlier, the music festival that Hamas attacked was an international gathering and I have great confidence that many of them were supportive of the Palestinian cause. This wasn't just evil, it was DUMB.

    Now that right wing MAGA folks are using the Iranian theory for propaganda, I feel dirty for having considered it as a possibility.

    I apologize to the bbs

    I don't know the theory but it's common knowledge that Iran provides support to Hamas and has done so for many years.

    That is the kernel of known truth. The theory is that Iran was upset about Israel cozying up with Saudi Arabia and what that would mean to the Fundamentalist theocracy of Iran.

    Ah, thanks. I'm confident that Iran dislikes any nation having good relations with Israel, particularly Islamic nations.

    Hamas in Gaza and the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank FORBID LGBTQ+ celebrations. The best thing that could ever happen for the Palestinian people in those jurisdictions would be for the ruling dictators to be removed and replaced by progressive Palestinians.

    Here's the Israeli president defending their strikes on Gaza by claiming Palestinian civilians are as culpable as Hamas.
