    Do
    You believe that every single or most Gazans is a member of Hamas?

    Also Hamas kills collaborators so
    What incentive is there for Gazan civilians to tell the IDF what they might or might not know?

    I don’t care what he is, over half the tweets posted in this thread both from Gaza and Israeli side have been proven false. It’s fine to post it here and there, but quite frankly the majority are at their core intellectually dishonest and lazy.

    the reason people have actually gotten away with what they tweet when prosecuted is they actually argue they are opinion pieces. It’s pretty crazy to rely on them,

    for the record I didn’t read it all or click any links, so maybe he does have a valid point, but like I said the tweeters have lost all credibility from me similar to the boy that cried wolf. I don’t believe anything posted there and there’s no reason to think they are more credible than YouTube or 4chan comments. You’ve been relatively good, basso and others however.

    With respect to genocide, I’m far more likely to listen to an academic Jewish scholar who has spent his entire life studying the holocaust and other atrocities. Outlining points, references and specific examples from someone recognized in their discipline exceeds some dipshit squeezing emojis and characters into an embedded format

    I like Elon, I don’t like how random Twitter opinions are viewed as credible news source

    To turn them over to the organization which protects settlers that attack and kill Palestinians, is currently killing Palestinians, and has themselves murdered Palestinians with no accountability.

    Basic human decency doesn't erase those things. Their own personal experiences might change their perspective on what best serves human decency.

    That's nice and all but not very realistic in a situation like this. The view from the Palestinians are that Israel is the enemy. Why should someone cooperate with the enemy and risk getting killed by the extremists on their sides?

    In most asymetric wars this has been a problem. It was one reason why many Irish Catholics who weren't members of the IRA wouldn't cooperate with the British. It's also why the US had so much trouble fighting in Afghanistan because the locals wouldn't cooperate with them.

    This view that all or most Palestinians are responsible is another reason why peace is so hard to reach.

    October 7th is hailed a tragedy, which it is.

    imagine 10x the casualties while being relegated to an interment camp without resources.

    The people watching indiscriminate killing of other civillians / their families are going to be recruited to the other side in droves. Gaza is full of rotting corpses, the majority children and women. The stench alone is enough to seed anger

    the war on terror taught us this. Israel is making its bed, they can deal with the aftermath and anger
    ..





    likud and Hamas are cancers that are making the whole world suffer

    Imagine no October 7th …

    everything bad happening to supposed innocent Palestinians is the byproduct of Hamas. Israel is trying its best to avoid civilian deaths but it’s war now. Oct. 7th changed the mindset on how best to deal with Hamas which in turn was supported by the vast majority of Palestinians

    if Palestinians knew Oct 7 has consequences would they still support Hamas which we know still would have repeated Oct 7 ? Hamas doesn’t deserve to exist. If Palestinians can’t understand this then their suffering is acceptable

    Israel has no problem making its bed if it means protecting itself. If 2 million need to die so be it

    They are responsible that’s the thing, not all but a vast majority,… What did Palestinians expect when the Hamas they supported went into Israel and butchered a thousand innocent civilians in the most horrific and graphic manner on Oct. 7?

    It’s no coincidence they choice the time of the festival to especially inflict maximum civilian casualty with pure savagery

    What exactly did Hamas think they were accomplishing for them or the Palestinians that support them ?

    If I am Israel I want more than justice. I would want vengeance and that is nothing short of complete destruction of Hamas including anyone that supports them

    It’s becoming more clear UNRWA is a HAMAS partnership extension when UNRWA is transferring aid directly to HAMAS terrorists and involvement of tunnel construction. Great video @tinman

    That’s what a genocide is , and every agent that commits it justifies it with such rhetoric.


    By the way, that logic is exactly how these terrorist organizations also act to get these confused angry people to murder civilians

    you may like dead innocent children but the majority of us don’t
