Which figures are you using? Hamas figures can be taken with a pinch of salt. The best approximation I saw was 3:1 non combatants to combatants which as awful as it sounds is actually very good for dense urban warfare.
Hamas are not fighting like a regular countries army would fight. They do not care for their own civilians
It’s horrible, but there are mass deaths in a war. If Hamas surrendered themselves the war would end.
Got a source that they’re killing people just for the sake of it? I’m pretty sure they’re after these delightful people: https://thisishamas.com
Ridiculous that Biden is changing policy due to students protesting a war just because the aggressor/initiator is losing badly. He’s lost their votes already.
Hoping they take Rafah soon and eliminate every last Hamas jihadist and hopefully get some hostages back alive
Lemmy has become an echo chamber for people who think the Palestinians have been persecuted/oppressed and that Jihad is a rational response and Israel should sit back and accept it. War is always horrendous to see but it’s incredible the complete asymmetry of people’s judgement on the actions of Israel vs Hamas
I’ve actually gone back to Reddit which I haven’t used since last June. The discussion there is far more balanced.
No, I’m quite happy to not support jihadist terrorist organisations like Hamas, ISIS, Hezbollah, the Taliban, etc. But you do you if you think that’s the moral high ground
I apologise. Religion is of course beyond criticism. What are your thoughts on Scientology out of curiosity?
If calling out problems with a religion is your idea of racism you need to check the dictionary
Clearly because he wants to eliminate the jihadist terrorist organisation. I’m not claiming that’s the right decision but I understand it. But it seems a lot of Israelis don’t support him.
But just because Netanyahu is no longer interested in peace doesn’t automatically make Hamas a peaceful group. The group that performs suicide bombings, uses human shields, beheads civilians, would stone you to death for drawing a picture of the prophet. They are not looking for peace no matter how much you downvote
Where did I say I wanted to murder anyone?
Where do you live? Was it always the country it is now? How would your government react to constant bombardment from a fanatical religious neighbour that wanted to wipe your country off the map to get into paradise?
I can understand why you’d think that coming from a position of logic, but no, it’s Islam.
You’re right, it’ll probably go from >50% to 99%. And probably few of them will ever acknowledge that their religion and support of Hamas is what led to this tragedy.
No, I’m not commenting on Israels methods which clearly could be better, to put it mildly. That doesn’t mean it’s logical to dream there can ever be peace with jihadists
Wishing it to be untrue doesn’t work unfortunately
There’s just one small flaw in your plan. Hamas has widespread support in Palestine and is not interested in peace, only in the destruction of Israel.
If you end the war you just go back to the previous situation where Hamas will continue to persistently launch rockets at Israel and execute more terror attacks, not peace.
Guerillas/government. Potato/potato
I went back from Windows 11 to Windows 10 as 11 was too buggy on my system (maybe because I bypassed some checks for TPM because my motherboard was too old).
I cannot understand at all this move from control panel to settings thats half baked in 10 and presumably even worse in 11. It’s not an improvement and makes things difficult to find
No, I was anti-jihadist prior to October. You?
Why would they be?
Ukraine was attacked by Russia which started a war. Israel was attacked by Palestine which started a war. You should be asking if Russian flags and symbols will also be banned if you want to find an equivalence.
They should launch a brutal attack on Israel to get everyone on their side
Do you kiss your jihadist family with that mouth? Or did they all go to paradise detonating themselves already?
