"No end to Gaza war until ’destruction’ of Hamas"
Proceeds to bomb children's hospital instead of Hamas
No, no, you don't understand. The children were Hamas
Bombing everyone in Gaza is a great way to turn many of them into hamas. How are those kids going to grow up sane and normal and make peace with Israel? Imagine a whole society with PTSD, it's horrifying. Israel knows this too, which is they want to protect themselves through genocide. They really do think those kids are hamas.
Once they've turned everyone to Hamas they can justify their genocide that way. Or they can just keep genociding anyway and claim it's because they heard Hamas was in the hospitals, the schools, the universities, the people's homes, the shops, the refugee camps, the streets, etc.
... the ambulances, the random US warship passing by, their own tanks ...
"No end to Gaza war until ’destruction’ of Hamas"
But don't worry though, it's definitely not a genocide.
No, you see the pediatric doctors were seen talking to Hamas heath ministry officials so they're terrorists too! And it's really their fault because when they talked to the kids that made them Hamas as well. Sadly killing everyone is the only option left.
Which essentially makes it a forever war. Israel's defenders keep saying this too- the war will end when Hamas is destroyed.
Every child killed creates a potential new Hamas member. Netanyahu knows this.
He’s taking a page from the Torah. One of the ways to completely eliminate your enemy was to wipe their entire culture off the face of the earth so not even one child is left to grow up to be a potential threat.
This is true. Israel benefits immensely each time there is a conflict -whether it's settlements or the upper hand in negotiations. The Palestinians are hurt the most and in a tough spot between Hamas and Israel. I'm not sure that either side will offer any concessions after Oct 7 but it would be in everyone's interest if Israel did offer concessions at this point because the cost of waging war indefinitely I don't think bodes well for them.
We are reading the same story every week now.
Hamas accepts a permanent ceasefire and Israel refuses. They should change up the script a bit.
You forgot where Biden tries to say him and Israel have a path to peace but it's Hamas who won't work with them...
And within 24 hrs Bibi clarifying he only wants a "final solution" where none of his "enemies" are left alive, so no one should listen to Biden.
I'm pretty sure we're on double digit laps by now.
I just don't understand why Biden at this point is still saying shit, knowing Israel is going to immediately say the quiet part out loud again.
It's not.just that Biden won't stop funding this genocide, apparently him and his admin are the dumbest people ever. Even if they know what they're saying is bullshit, they always forget Israel will just say shit like this that blows up trying to blame it on anyone else.
Don't forget the israel shills talking about releasing the hostages to "end all this"
No end to Gaza war until the destruction of Netanyahu
Do take note that Biden's proposal from yesterday was supposedly drafted at Netanyahu's cabinet, according to the US government itself. Netanyahu now opposes their own initiative because he's decided it's not convenient for him to end the war just yet. This isn't some sort of principled attempt to paint himself as the protector of Israel, but a pathetic excuse of a man willing to sacrifice more lives for his own self interest.
This is Netanyahu playing Biden like a fiddle.
Yeah but they're arab lives, so they don't count them.
Incase anyone here is not already aware, the war is causing Hamas. Word is that previously Hamas was caused by Netanyahu's direct support.
This is ridiculous take. Hamas existed before the war and have been a terrorist organization for decades.
Criticize Israel and the handling of the war all you want, that is fair. But this white washing of Hamas as if they weren't deranged extremists is just ridiculous.
So he said out loud that he won't accept anything but a Final Solution?
It's a shame their definition of Hamas includes all Palestinians.
Ask your american friends how well a war against terrorism works.

Because those went well. Big success story.
Vietnam
Al Qaida
Even the US COVID response...
All were stopped eventually because the US government got bored and wanted to do something else. No winners. Only losers.
It's only possible to eliminate Hamas if Israel pushes out or kills everyone in Gaza.
Isn't that what they're doing already? They don't differentiate between Palestinians and HAMAS anymore.
Never did.
Lets hope Hamas don't start immigrating! Imagine Israel trying to catch them inside London, or Paris during the Olympics! So many innocent, but necessary lives would be sacrificed!
Many of them are already outside of Gaza's borders in Syria, Lebanon, etc. Is Israel going to start invading them?
Now, now Bibi. You wouldn't want to be compared to an Austrian art school dropout that orchestrated the death of some your ancestors now would you?
I'm afraid at this point it's obvious it's the other way around, and there is no end to the Gaza war until Israel is dismantled, its leaders are given the Gaddafi treatment, its settlers are hung and Palestine is restored.
That's what the Arab league has been saying for 70 years, people are finally listening to muslims now it seams
must be nice. you fund and create hamas to stop the pro peace PLO so that you can use their existence to perpetrate endless war
epecially when the palestinian authority warned you that calling an election would result in the ascension of hamas to power and israel and the us insisted on the election anyway.
If he wants to destroy Hamas, what's the plan for someone else to take over after Hamas? Oh right, there is no plan for that. Whenever this war ends, Hamas will still be there and more powerful than ever, because that's exactly the strategy that is Israel is (wittingly or unwittingly) following.
I'm under the impression that it's pretty evident that Israel is doing a land grab. They've been doing it since 1967.
So, if that’s true, and Netanyahu helped fund Hamas… Does that make Netanyahu…. Hamas?

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

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!
