Political Discussion
Gazans know this but the problem is the other Palestinian party -Fatah /Palestinian Authority isn’t strong or supported by Israel in any real way that can weaken Hamas. You weaken Hamas by strengthening/helping their political rival Israel just announced yesterday they will develop 3,400 more homes in new settlements in the West Bank. This doesn’t help peace or the Palestinian Authority. It helps Hamas. I just don’t know what Netanyahu is thinking https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68490034.amp |

The UN says at least 413 Palestinians - members of armed groups, attackers and civilians - have been killed in conflict-related incidents in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, or in Israel since October. Fifteen Israelis, including four security forces personnel, have also been killed. The situation in the West Bank will get more grim over time and people will lose patience with the Palestinian Authority. Then, who will take over the West Bank? Probably Hamas |
We all know what he is thinking. He doesn't ever want peace under any circumstance. It's time to stop pretending that he has ever done anything in good faith. |

In the tents of Rafah, school is still in session. Kids are sitting outside in rows as The women and Men that were formerly teachers pre 10/7 are teaching kids math, reading, science, history; religion.
They are still finding ways to make life as normal as possible |

Hamas will not take a ceasefire under any circumstances because they can now use the cover of Ramadan starting, which will put enormous pressure on Israel in other ways.
They can tell us with laser precision five minutes after anything how many people died, but they can't say if the hostages are alive or dead. |

I heard this story on NPR this morning. And realized it's essentially the first time since maybe Oct 8 that I have heard anyone talk about what Oct 7 did and is doing to Israelis.

As someone who is extremely sympathetic to the Palestinian position and very critical of Israel, I think it is likely that there were rapes on 10/7. Hamas members did not necessarily commit them as other groups and individuals from Gaza accompanied Hamas on that day, and each group behaved somewhat independently. Israel is not a credible reporter, but the UN has done due diligence and thinks it likely that there have been rapes, both by Gazan militants on 10/7 and in Gaza today by the IDF. |
+1 His goal is to continue the Nakba by ethnically cleansing more Palestinians. He wants to take over the West Bank by creeping colonialism. |
Agree. And the violence on all sides is only creating further polarization It seems almost everybody hates "the other side."
|
The groups I hate: Hamas, Netanyahu and his far-right buddies, settlers adding oil to the fire, and the "liberal" idiots in the US who decided an anti-LGBTQ, anti-women terrorist group is to be backed in this situation and was actually right to kill Israelis and should continue to do so. |
I’ll say |
I think we're at day 153 and counting of the slaughter in Gaza. The death toll from indirect causes (disease, malnutrition, collapse of the healthcare system, etc.) of the war is rising and has reached a critical threshold. |
You and me both, fellow normie |
