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.

International law does not protect terrorism against civilians.

Were you not aware of that?

I wasn't sure you were. It seemed like you were trying to suggest that Oct. 7th was a legally protected action.

What specific actions done by Hamas are you attempting to claim are legally protected?

[-] kaffiene@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I wasn't talking about specific actions at all. You were responding to someone talking about whether the existence of Hamas was understandable. I agree with him that it is. Armed resistence against occupiers is to be expected and it's protected by international law.

Terrorism is not protected by international law.

[-] kaffiene@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Well aware. Didn't claim it was.

[-] WamGams@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

If you weren't suggesting that Hamas is merely armed resistance and legally protected by the international courts, what was your last sentence in reference to?

[-] kaffiene@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Hamas is an armed resistence and they sometimes perform acts of terrorism. Life isn't always black and white. Thanks for the discussion, but I'm done here.

And there it is, little buddy proving that this is not a Pro-Palestinian, but rather a pro-Hamas movement.

Don't be a coward who runs away after taking the mask off. Actually stand by what you said and be willing to discuss it.

There's little point discussing your strawmen

[-] WamGams@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

If you don't want to be called out for being a propagandist for a terrorist organization, the simple solution is to stop being one.

I'm done with your bad faith sealion BS. Banned
