I highly doubt hamas has more rockets than they had a month ago
Hamas is getting good pr. What do you think Hamas goal was? I don’t think Israel was stupid at all. The Iron dome saved thousands of lives and they destroyed a lot of hamas bases. The pr bias is standard but I wouldn’t say Israel got played
You are so consumed with hate for Israel that you probably believe this
I mean, it’s been a while since I read my Sun Tzu but when I know for certain my enemy wants me to do X shouldn’t I try not doing X? If it’s obvious to everyone that my enemies want me to do X, that X is their only goal and I still do X then either
I was giving you the more reasonable out that they are idiots. The only other option is that you’re wrong that it’s obvious that X is the goal and we all know that’s crazy talk.
From who?
Whom
Everyone in this thread that is bashing Israel for defending itself
What do you think hamas goal was. To shoot 4000 rockets and kill 11 and declare victory?
So calling out Israel for excessive deaths of Palestinians including children is “good PR” for the other side? Interesting definition. I think perhaps the majority of posters in this thread disagree that Israel’s actions constitute a reasonable defense to the threat from Hamas rockets.
Feel free to correct any grammar mistakes in this post too.
If the majority of people in this thread were as vocal about the hamas rockets as they were about the retaliation I’d have much less of a problem
Why should we be? Especially since you refuse to criticize Israel. The most you can bring yourself to say is that people can criticize Israel for some things, not that you actually do.
I highly doubt Israel would have incoming rockets if they stopped running an apartheid state. It’s not a problem most nations have to worry about.
That’s a pretty shallow statement imo, as tempting as it might be.
What were the reasonings behind Hamas’ suicide bombings in the 90’s, during the “peak” of the peace talks and Oslo accords?
Once upon a time a frightened mother hid her baby from a murderous pharaoh on the banks of the Nile.
God said to Abraham “kill me a son”. Abe said, “God, you must be puttin’ me on”. God said, “Abe”. Abe said “What?”. God said, “Abe, you can do what you want, but the next time you see me comin’ you better run.”
Pressure Israel to maintain an apartheid state?
Luls. This coming from a guy who never had a bad word to say about LITERAL NAZIS that were supporting his god king.
K bro, story checks out
as usual, by far the worst take on Bibj is by none other than brett stephans. you see, it is the opposition who had to make unthinkable sacrifices of their principles to commit political revenge. but the ousted king on the other hand was the true patriot, just doing his best growing the economy, jabbing the citizens faster than anyone else in the world, but also buying peace with all the regional kings, and trampling protesters on par with the worlds dictators.
Honesty can’t tell if that’s sarcastic.
Not sarcastic. Also not meant as a statement of fact, hence the question mark.
Whatever the reason was/is, I think it should be debated in the context of “if Israel stop the occupation, the conflict will resolve”.
That question should be independent from the clear statement that Israel should end the occupation.
Not addressing it or assuming the answer is part of what fueled, in my opinion, the messianic right wing to power and created that irreversible map you posted a while back.
Hamas doesn’t need us to do PR for them when Israel does things like this lol

What everyone is trying to tell you is that the hamas rockets ARE the retaliation, but you don’t want to hear it.
