Looks like a new Gaza war has started

[Anonymous]

Since Hamas supporters above are doubting the atrocities committed by Palestinians today, here is a collection of videos which have been proudly circulated by Palestinians themselves. I’m not going to embed the link because it’s horrifying. You can click if you want, but be warned. And these aren’t the worst, which have been removed from Twitter because of how bad they are.

Does the PM Mahmoud Abbas or West Bank even do anything in these fights?

It is important to point out that this was started by Hamas.
Killing innocent people and parading them around like trophies. They are savages. Maybe there is a reason they are disliked.

And, don't try to "both sides" this.

Hamas isn’t even liked by majority of Palestinians in the West Bank or in the diaspora. There are relatives of Hamas members who live in the West Bank and denounce Hamas completely.

There’s an ideological divide between Palestinians who want a soft war against the Israelis via media and PR , and the hardliners who want actual fire and brimstone upon Israel.

I feel bad for the innocent kids. I also find it horrible how all the top Hamas leaders make sure their families/kids don’t live in Gaza. They live comfortably in Qatar or elsewhere safe from the disaster. How convenient .

I don’t know the answer, but the attacks didn’t seem isolated. They were widespread.

It was Shabbat and an important Jewish holiday. I don’t know if that had an impact.

This was a complete failure by Israeli intelligence and the IDF. Some it is Bibi's own doing. There is so much acrimony with Netanyahu and security forces that the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. But in the end, people do need to their jobs. This was a failure of imagination. Of diligence. Of professionalism. The holiday, of course, was a big reason why those bases were undermanned. Most regular soldiers were on leave. So it was a skeleton staff of mostly reserve soldiers. Feel terrible for them. Presumably, a lot of IDF officers will be losing their careers over this.

We will have to wait for the investigation, but I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that IDF units were pulled away from Gaza over the past weeks and months to deal with the emerging shitstorm in the West Bank. Wildcat settlers have been empowered by figures in the government like Bezalel Smotrich who have designs on annexing the entire area. Playing whack-a-mole with the wildcat settlements and other provocations - like the 200 ultra-Orthodox who stormed Al-Aqsa a few days ago - has been keeping the IDF more than busy. The IDF is no small force, but still can’t be everywhere at once.

Still waiting, I guess.

There are tens of thousands of videos of Palestinian children killed and maimed. Too many to count at this point. I guess we’ll just hear “Hamas started it” as Israel mows the grass.

Right. So find a video of Israelis doing the same thing as what today’s videos show. Apparently there are thousands of similar videos, according to you.

Look, this should be easy based on what you and other Hamas supporters in this thread claim. Unless, of course, you’re just lying.

Prove to me you are right. It should be easy for you to find a similar video of Israelis desecrating the naked corpse of a young Palestinian woman while other Israeli onlookers cheer on. You keep telling me thousands of these videos exist. So produce just one of them.

+1. Are there videos of collateral damage to civilians from Israeli attacks? Sure. I'm you can point to those. But I haven't once ever seen barbarism on display from the Israelis like you've seen in the last 24 hours by the Gazans. Feel free to correct us though if there are.

+1

There are many videos of the horrific results of rocket attacks with both Israeli and Palestinian children as innocent victims.

But I’ve never seen a video of Israelis acting with the level of barbarism and monstrosity as the Palestinians in today’s videos. I’ll never get what I saw out of my head, and I wish I could.

I have been a critic of Israel in the past, but this is far beyond anything I’ve ever seen from Israel before.

+1.

So far today, more than 250 Israelis have been killed and another 1400 injured. An untold amount of people - including many women - have been kidnapped and taken hostage by Palestinians. Anyone that saw the videos today of Palestinians desecrating and abusing the naked body of a dead Israeli women will be understandably worried about the fate of those hostages. They are likely to be tortured. Palestinians displayed a venal cruelty that is not often seen in the modern era. Those images will not be forgotten.

What Palestinians did today was to effectively commit national suicide. They will never have a viable, independent country. They are terrorists. When Gaza is destroyed in the months ahead, no one will lament their fate. They chose Hamas. They chose barbarity. They chose stupidity. And they will reap what they sowed. Idiots.

I’ve watched the video a few times trying to figure out whether it was the German tourist or not. I don’t know whether it was, but it doesn’t matter. It’s a ghastly scene that constitutes both a war crime and an exhibition of the basest forms of human behavior.

All of that said, I’m going to stop you when you use it as a rallying cry for genocide.

Countless bodies - civilian and belligerent - were desecrated by our forces and those of our allies in Afghanistan and Iraq. And then some. If you haven’t heard of the Mahmudiyah Incident, have a read: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahmudiyah_rape_and_killings. Even for all out war, that’s some extremely evil sht. And it was all done by a US Army soldiers.

As horrific as that incident, I think you and I are grateful that no one is calling for the indiscriminate slaughter of Americans on account of the heinous actions of five soldiers. Or for those of William Laws Calley Jr. at My Lai and so on and so on.

Thugs that celebrate killing and the desecration of bodies deserve nothing less than that, but they are not all Gazans let alone all Palestinians.

Dear Lord. How can you be so profoundly ignorant of the many, many, many leaders, ordinary citizens, television anchors, media personalities, military generals, and others worldwide calling for the death of all Americans? The bolded is shockingly ignorant.

What kind of delusional, hippy-dippy world are you living in? What you wrote bears literally no relation to reality whatsoever.

Midland, TX was the birthplace of Steven Dale Green, who raped and killed a 14 year old Iraqi girl and then killed the rest of her family and then burned all of their bodies.

Ami don’t know of any reasonable person who would want to hold the residents of Midland, TX responsible for producing such a monster.

Yet you watch a video of a handful of scumbags in Gaza acting despicably and think it fit to lay waste to the entire Palestinian people.

I know you will want to say that the Palestinians embrace these scumbags, even when the evidence for that is slight. But how tough are we on our own war criminals, really? Lt. Calley was pardoned. I believe our last president also pardoned someone convicted of desecrating a corpse.

I don’t see Green’s friends and relatives cheering him on.

Green killed himself so that’s not really possible. But consider Eddie Gallagher. He posed for a picture with a teenager he had stabbed to death and then sent the picture to his buddies as a trophy. SEALs he had served with described other barbaric acts he committed, including randomly shooting and killing an elderly man and a young girl among others and then threatening to kill other service members who reported these incidents. After his court martial, he was fully pardoned by Trump and allowed to retire with full Navy honors. You may have been living under a rock at the time of his pardon, but he was very much embraced by Trump’s acolytes. He now apparently runs several successful businesses.

#NotJournalism.

I can’t imagine any good Palestinian person volunteering to go on cnn to defend the Hamas attack or engage in whataboutism to justify an act of terror. And cnn obviously won’t bring Hamas sympathizers on tv. And why should they?

This is indefensible.

I think you might want to distinguish the past human rights abuses, land grab, etc. from what Hamas just did. They kidnapped women and children. They slaughtered a German tourist. Separate the past from the present and get on the right side of history.

The past IS the present. The past is happening. It never stopped. Israel doesn't get to say "nothing we did up until this point matters."

Disagree.

Your line of thinking seemingly absolves Bin Laden and the 9/11 terrorists by placing shared responsibility (at best) on the US for prior action in the Middle East. And that’s obviously ridiculous, right?

Here’s what is going to happen: all the Free Palestine people in the US, Europe, and other civilized nations will realize the atrocities committed by Hamas against women and children simply can’t be justified. They’ll quietly retreat. The only people voicing support for Hamas and Palestine will be terrorists: Hezbollah, Taliban, and religious extremists who clearly aren’t defending human rights.

I am sorry to be the one to tell you but the world doesn't feel nearly as much outrage about this as you think.

Just wait until more videos come out. Have you seen the kidnapped civilians? The kids? The young girls?

People will be outraged.

They ARE seeing them, and they're NOT outraged. Every comment section I see under one of these videos is 90% pro-Hamas/anti-Israel.

Are they Arabs? Muslims?

Figures. It’s a numbers game and they are everywhere.

But they don’t wield power…which is why they resort to terror.

Well it's online so I don't know. But all the white people I know are anti-Israel.

Only the ones who watch msnbc

No, pretty much all of them. My peer group is highly educated, very progressive and very self-loathing, and completely buy into the notion that Israel is a white, colonialist, super rich apartheid country.

Your peers are being kind, based on the comments I am reading on the Jerusalem Post I’d call the Israeli Jews savages.

The “savages” are the ones who kidnapped a little boy, and brought him into Gaza. Imagine the night he is having, and hang your head in shame:

https://twitter.com/visegrad24/status/1710811394348552276?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1710811394348552276%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=

Don’t care. How many Palestinian boys have been kidnapped, tortured and killed by the IDF? Israel regularly kidnaps children and tortures them in military prisons. You should actually kill yourself for thinking anyone needs to care about dead Israeli settlers. Israelis only understand violence.

Hamas sent their brightest light to engage with us on DCUM tonight?

She’s probably a stoned SJP affiliated undergrad from GW, GMU, or AU.

The ones being kidnapped, tortured and murdered? Savages? How so?

They’re illegally occupying another country

So some Jew living in Haifa or Tel Aviv is occupying another country...and therefore a savage. Gotcha.

Umm yeah? The Jew living in Haifa has parents and grandparents who played an active role in pushing out an entire ethnic group to make room for themselves because you know their ancestors roamed the land 7000 years ago so therefore they are God’s chosen people.

You could say the exact same thing about any American, Canadian, Aussie and so on. Going to call all of us "savages"?

Well Americans were brutal to Native Americans and they got away with it so we can kick out the Palestinians too and should be able to get away with it. The world doesn’t let us get away with it therefore they hate Jews- spoken like a true Zionist.

Grow up
Do you have any idea what the repercussions would be in a volatile place like the middle east?
Why not just learn to get along

I think this will be found to be correct. Netanyahu empowering radical West Bank settlers has been a disaster. But I think it will soon be forgotten as larger events overtake Bibi's domestic power plays. This will turn out to be the equivalent of Israel's 9/11. There are still hundreds of Israelis missing.

Reserves are being called up from everywhere. Israel has chartered planes to bring back reservists from Greece, the US, the UK, Germany, and elsewhere It doesn't help that Hezbollah began shelling Israeli positions in the north near the Lebanese border. Hopefully that was a skirmish and they stay out. But a two front war with Iran's proxy army is something Israel needs to be prepared for. And at this point, Hezbollah is probably the most experienced major fighting force in the region. They've been fighting in Syria for the past ten years. Hamas has unleashed something that could easily spin out of control. I do not envy anyone in the region right now.

But it would be wrong to suggest that Hamas does not enjoy popular support in Gaza. It does.

Take 5 minutes to read this. It’s a good analysis and might actually bring some
much needed perspective into this vacuous discussion.

Sure, most of the army was pulled away from the uncontrolled area with the militants and the rockets to defend against stone throwing teens in the West Bank.

I think it’s a right wing patriotic fervor. Hamas is the first Palestinian army . They only had kids throwing stones at soldiers until fairly recently and I think in the West Bank that’s still all they have.

Then there was the failed intifadas and bus suicide bombings.

Hamas changed that all up and created literal tunnels and bought and sometimes created rockets themselves underground somehow all with the international condemnation of the world and dismay from half of their population. Something Yasser Arafat couldn’t even do with international support and unanimous love and support among the majority of Palestinians .
