Israeli backed militias?
Some of them definitely. According to Dr HA Hellyer who was interviewed for the article:
“I keep hearing this from different people connected to the ground on Gaza that there’s a mini civil war brewing between Hamas and anti-Hamas figures,” he said.
“But the anti-Hamas figures aren’t people like the Palestinian Authority; the anti-Hamas figures are collaborationist forces with the Israelis."
“From what I’m hearing, Hamas seem to also be going after traditional families and traditional tribes that simply don’t want Hamas to be in charge, not because they’re getting support from the Israelis, but that they just don’t like Hamas.”
“But the anti-Hamas figures aren’t people like the Palestinian Authority; the anti-Hamas figures are collaborationist forces with the Israelis."
Implying the PA isn't a collaborationist force, but also fucking ew.
Is this a legitimate question? There were collaborator gangs that Israel won't defend on pull out.
There were collaborator gangs that Israel won't defend on pull out.
I'm not sure why that should be an argument against the question. There are still people in Afghanistan who supported western militaries and to which visas were promised.
The genociders left their collaborators dead in the water when they withdrew. And this was the inevitable outcome.
There is no civil war. They is israeli backed gangs fighting Hamas
The Jews are behind everything!
Do you realize that there is non Jewish Israeli? You seems really antisemitic to me
Do you realize that Palestinians are not a monolith with no disagreements? Yet you expect the Israelis (including Arab Israelis, apparently) are behind the in-fighting. I suppose Israel promoted the Hamas takeover of Gaza too.
Netanyahu himself admitted that he is backing gangs
And Iran backs Hamas. That doesn't mean there aren't disagreements amongst Palestinians that lead to Arab on Arab violence. They do have free will over there, too.
I won't let you deflect from the fact that Israel is arming many gangs in Gaza by Netenyahu admission.
Arab to arab violence remind me of the racist rhetoric of black on black violence to deflect from discrimination against them and police brutslity.
Thank you for proving that you are a disgusting racist
Who's deflecting? Your claim went beyond that Israel is arming factions in Gaza which oppose Hamas. You claimed there is no civil war. That claim presupposes that the current fighting is only between Israel and Gaza, not between factions within Gaza.
My position is that outside groups are funding sides in the civil conflict, but those conflicts transcend a battle of Israel vs. Iran.
The racist side is the one that thinks Palestinians all think the same way, and that only Israelis are the source of any conflicts between Palestinians.
There are Palestinians who don’t like Hamas or its policies. Hamas has been brutally oppressing all opposition since they came to power.
Yes, true, but the main driver of this round of infighting is ISIS-linked drug-trafficking Israeli collaborators. Holy evil bingo lmao.
Nobody like Israeli backed gang

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
