In a sense, Hamas had to have known that what they were going to do was going to have a HUGE military response from Israel. Govts are like the Mafia, they can’t just let any disrespect go unpunished. Hamas planned on indiscriminately killing civilians and taking hostages. I’m not sure any government in the world wouldn’t have had a predictable military response of some kind.
Hamas seems to have misjudged the extant to which Israel was willing to go (all-out war and extermination of Hamas), but they still knew at some level that Israel was going to come in shooting and killing civilians. Israel shoots at kids for throwing rocks, of course Hamas knew civilians were getting killed from their actions. Add in that Netanyahu has his own unrelated troubles in Israel and he needed a disaster like this to distract the public. Plus, Israel would take any excuse it could to further erode Gaza, so they basically handed Israel a gift-wrapped war.
Does that absolve Israel’s military from indiscriminately killing civilians? Absolutely not, they have their own issues with systemic racism towards Arabs that’s built up over decades and a military that’s apparently given up on professionalism and following the rule of law. I think their calculus is total extermination of Hamas and further encroachment into Palestinian lands, to them that’s more than worth whatever civilian casualties and international condemnation they get for a few months of conflict.
So what you're saying is that Hamas should have known that israel are such insanely brutal barbarian Nazi's that they should have been too scared to stand up against oppression?
Since you are still under the impression that Hamas indiscriminately killed civilians, here's a nice video explaining what really happened on oct7
I watched a few minutes of your video. For the love of all that is holy, Gaza is not a concentration camp - they are not being forced into slavery, gassed, tortured, experimented upon and systematically killed. It’s not even an “open air prison”. What are you people talking about? How can you be so arrogant about a subject you know nothing about first hand??
They are being kept there, they are not allowed to leave. Normally I would call that a prison, but prison would imply that they were convicted of a crime, which they weren't. They are kept there, because Israel considers Palestinians to be an undesirable ethnicity. That is a concentration camp. You are conflating concentration camp with the nazi death camps.
Kept? What are they animals to you? Who said they can’t leave?
Palestinians with dual nationality might be able to leave, but most of them can't just leave. Gaza is surrounded by blockades imposed by Israel and Egypt, which restrict movement. Israel prevents access to and from Gaza by sea and air. Land movement is restricted to three crossings: the Egypt-controlled Rafah crossing and Erez and Kerem Shalom crossings, which Israel controls.
The blockades exist due to Gaza being governed by a terrorist organization, but I wouldn’t make a blanket statement that Gazans are all forced to stay there. Hell, hundreds of thousands of them were routinely coming into Israel for work. Voting for and electing a terror organization whose main goal is openly eradicating all of Israel and Jews might create some emigration problems though.
pick one
That's also why they aren't letting the rodents leave, the rodents are also Hamas. And obviously, hospitals and churches are well known to be the highest ranking members of Hamas.
What? You might wanna rephrase the first one otherwise I don’t even know what point you’re failing to make.
your a parinoid Genocide supporter and you might want to rethink your positions before you find yourself on the wrong side of history forever, If you belive in a maker, with an afterlife, they will judge you, they will judge you harshly and you will most certanly find yourself in the worst possible version of said afterlife, asuming ofcorse you belive in it, repent now.
your claims are paridoxical and all fall into a typical facistic fraimowrk of the enemy is both strong and weak, everywhere and now where, can do and is free to do what they want, and cannot because they are all terrorists,
a half ounce of self reflection would go along way for you
most citizens of Isn'treal have dule citizenship, why do you genocidal manachs just leave.
also is Hamas in the room right now?
also agian, Eradicating a genocidal state is a noble goal, and the only place saying their goal is eradication of jews is Isn'treal who also says that critisizing them is tantimout to anti-semitism, when there is a stronger historical connection to zionism and anti-semitism
the closed borders on both sides,
the fact Isn'treal has been providing "safe locations" then promptly bombing them in violation if international law
the fact Isn'treal has been bombing hospitals and schools in violation of international law
also no one here has said anything about them being animals ... but the Isn'treal government has... a mark of a genocidal government.
