Welcome to propaganda in the 21st century. We are being lied to from both sides. There is some truth to what is being said by both sides. Like Drexel's link below has some truth. But is the population 1% right wing extremists or 80% doing this? We can go down a rabbit hole looking at such videos arguing the sins of the other side, tit for tat, tit for tat... and we will walk away confused, saddened and even less sure of the "truth".

Likewise, we can find videos of peaceful integration and collaboration.

As they always do, the world is going to pressure Israel to make a "Measured response" Which is fucked because it keeps the status quo.

It sucks because, like two feuding brothers hitting each other in the arm until one hits back a little too hard; the other cries to mom. Dad steps in with a threat. The brothers sit quietly stewing for a time until one, once again, hits the other in the arm.

That being said...

Hamas does not represent most of the Palestinian people. They have not had a fair election in years. Unless they are wiped out, future attacks are inevitable. Kind of makes me long for the days of Yasser Arafat and the PLO

Hamas may not represent the people but it would be wrong to say that a majority doesn't share their sentiment and extremist views.

I do agree with you but the only way to wipe out an ideology is to wipe out every living soul in that region and relocate them to a neighboring country with a shared mindset. Not really erasing it, but shifting it to a less strategic region.

it would be wrong to say that a majority doesn't share their sentiment and extremist views.

I wouldn't be too sure about that. How many conservatives in the USA which are living in liberal areas are cowed into keeping their mouth shut for fear of retribution? The silent majority.

How much worse for a conservative population living in an area the size of a large city in the US? Governed by a strict Islamic militant group?

If they had the support of the people, there'd be no reason not to have fair elections.

Hamas cries about Palestinian civilian structures getting wiped out, which is sad I agree but damn it doesn't help their situation when their military bases are in or close to civilian structures and they have tunnels under those same civilian structures. Just a cowardly move. If civilian structures get hit Hamas are part of the blame in my opinion.

Very true, already the papers over here are showing us images of a Hospital that was wiped out supposedly by an Israeli rocket that killed 500 people in there. A lot of us go off what they show us.

Pumped_'s picture

Unites States Department of Defense confirms the missile was mis-fired by Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Audio captured by Hamas also. It was shot from the cemetery behind the hospital.

Unfortunately they’re going to believe what they want to believe. Reasonable thinking has left their minds.

Yep 100% I couldn't of said that any better or clearer.

What I don't understand is Hamas takes issue with Hospitals and Schools being bombed and they should, but it doesn't help the situation when those same hospitals and schools have secret military tunnels below them used by Hamas. Hamas needs to get the hell away from those same schools and Hospitals. Can't cry wolf when you are the problem.

Pumped_'s picture

Yeah they still saying it was israel. And squad members Omar and Tlaib tweeted condemning Israel before they even had proof. They both look like asses now. They are members of Congress whats the worse part

Drexyl's picture

Then we see this shit, who knows what the truth is. My fear is we’re going to jump in along with Iran and a lot of people are going to die. The US is hated worldwide, only a matter of time before it gets serious on our soil. They really need to pull Biden back from all this, as feeble and unsteady as he is, it’s making us look very weak, vulnerable. What a great time to be alive for some entertainment right? Young men being sent to fight other young men that don’t know each other by old men who do.

I can't speak on Israel but it's a fact that Hamas uses civilian structures to hide their military bases. That fact can't be argued. Bin Laden who represented Al Qaeda hid himself in a civilian location for many years. That's how they tend to operate. You can't find me but yet I'm hiding right in front of you. Very unfortunate for the innocent

MISINFORMATION is the most dangerous thing in the world. Causes chaos and disorder. We've dealt with that in our country. A bunch of brain dead zombies believing whatever without even actually thinking for a second. Having no regards for facts and evidence at all.

DeeMan's picture

So I've heard about that but my first time seeing that. Looks like tracers are in the sky on right side. All the lies are rediculous. Just a way to cause more panic and chaos. Video doesn't lie, people lie.

Funny they call Hananya an Isreali spokesperson. He is a you tuber influencer. Its like saying what logan paul says is the american rep speaking for us. They should have took his post down as soon as it came out. Mooks like him costs lives while he gets more likes. Click bait

I saw that mate - what a bunch of idiots. You seen that picture of the Doctors giving a speech surrounded by the bodies of all the dead children? I imagine if there is such a thing as living in hell - then that is pretty close to it.

Pumped_'s picture

Yes. It is very bad for both sides.

Pumped_'s picture

Trust me with all the satellite imaging and technology we will see video and they better hope it dont show a misfired jihadi rocket because that will alienate hamas and iran definitely.

Tbh they are as bad as each other in a way aren't they, just different methods of killing each other. Unfortunately though its the innocent that suffer in all of this thats the problem.

Speaking of Jews - watched that newish Spielberg film last night called The Fabelmans all about his life and him getting involved in the film industry, very interesting.

He may, he may not, but historical fact is not debatable, it’s fact. Unfortunately the situation over there will not be resolved with handshakes, it’s gone too far. Entire fucking world is coming unglued.

I hear where you’re coming from, and definitely don’t want to take sides. What Hamas did at the music festival was completely cowardly, Half those people were probably high on weed and xtc simply having a good time. It’s the same concept as the school bully picking on the weakest targets. Then, in response, Israel decides to bomb everything in Gaza, another cowardly act. I can understand bombing particular targets that are being used by Hamas, but to just bomb everything and destroy everyone’s homes just to prove you can is like the bullied attacking the bully’s youngest sibling in response to being bullied. I keep hearing how Israel has 300,000 troops ready to go in, so what the flying fuck, go in already!!! Man the fuck up and go find these animals.. Oh, but that would take balls, and they obviously don’t have any. They just keep sending rockets. What Israel is doing is setting up the United States to send in the Navy Seals to find these hostages because they are too pussy to do it themselves. Then the United States will take on the responsibility of rebuilding Gaza, and helping their citizens reestablish themselves. I’m sure Israel will be asking for some feee money as well. Meanwhile, the hardworking American people will be flipping the fucking bill.

This whole world is going to shit!!!

Well they are scared to go in now. Putin talked to Netanyahu on Monday and pretty much told him that Syria, Iran, Egypt, and the Palestinian Authority are on the same ship about an early ceasefire and the establishment of a humanitarian truce. So Israel is now second thinking this. With Biden going over there Wednesday though put a wrench in for Hezbollah because if they attack while a US president is on soil it changes the game. The stakes are rising.

DeeMan's picture

Do you believe anything Putin says? Lol. That dude will say anything in order to advance his agenda....that's proven. Awhile back Putin established a truce with the leader of the rebellion in Russia not long ago. It's ironic that the rebellion leader ended up dead not long after that truce. Helicopter crash and explosives found during investigation.

Pumped_'s picture

I hear you but now that Israel knows Russia has actually joined in with Iran they are hesitant. How many days have they been saying a ground invasion is emminant and still nothing.

DeeMan's picture

Like I said this situation could spark something way bigger than it is now. Gotta be careful. And it wouldn't surprise me if Putin is the master mind.

DeeMan's picture

It seems to be the old eye for an eye approach. Just can't understand killing innocent civilians but it's also cowardly of terrorists to blend in with civilians which makes it harder to just target terrorists. But this is the crazy world we live in...2023

JakeKO's picture

Absolutely, but that’s how terrorism works. They’re all a bunch of pussies. There own people should sniff them out and behead them for what they’ve caused, Probably is that Hamas are the brainwashed Alphas in the society, and the innocent are the passivists burying their heads in the sand hoping it ends before tragedy hits their families. Israel’s asses should be in there, on foot, looking for these mother fuckers, not standing by in there tanks that will be rendered useless because of all the rubble they won’t be able to drive through. Fucking idiots!!!! They’re just waiting for us to do the hard part.

DeeMan's picture

We have issues in our own country to deal with.

@Drexyl jakeko I saw something on the news this morning about a 60yr old civilian man killing a 10 yr old innocent Palestinian kid because of the conflict going on. That's the sick mentality that's occurring. And that's just one example of many!

JakeKO's picture

What a piece of shit that guy is. Another coward attacking a woman and a child. SMH

DeeMan's picture

Not to sold like a local tough guy but if I had a problem with an individual I wouldn't take issue with the little brother, sister or mom. That would be a chicken shit type of move. Some can't help that though.

JakeKO's picture

I couldn’t agree more. I was raised to fight the bully, regardless the outcome, and to fight them hard. Bullies don’t like to be hit at all, so even if you lose, they’re not going to target you again because they know what the outcome will be.

DeeMan's picture

Absolutely. I gotta be honest. Every now and then I'd bully the bullies. Shame on me huh? I've seen it many times...loud barking, no bite! See one ya seen them all. Same movie!
All that picking on the lil guy I don't tolerate.

DeeMan's picture

Meant not to sound not sold...damn it lol

press1's picture

I read an absolutely awful article this morning about the forensic scientists who's job it is to identify all the corpses who have been burnt, bombed and beheaded who cannot be identified by the normal methods as they are too disfigured. They had 300 bodies there laid up on beds in bags, many of them were 2 bodies fused together because in their dying moments these people accept their fate and hold each other. We are so damn lucky to be able to live in a reasonably safe and regulated society, we really have nothing much to moan about when you look at the lives of these poor unfortunate people.

Pumped_'s picture

And when they found burnt crowds huddled in rooms they had soot in their lungs meaning they were burnt alive. And that seemed to be the theme in each house, they were herded into one room.

DeeMan's picture

Really? Unbelievable. Yea anytime soot is found in lungs at one point the individual was breathing. Sad.
I've seen a few autopsy results with that.

DeeMan's picture

The generalization argument was exactly my point to you the other day, so yea we cannot generalize. Agreed. Some will make this a political issue unfortunately. If this foolishness in the middle east doesn't cease then it could possibly lead to something that's 10x worse. Alot of instability happening.

UncleYoked's picture

I believe you're on the right track here.
Gaza is not important, it's expendable. Syria, Jordan, Egypt, also not important really. They're all going to be great asset for depleting the strength of their primary enemy in the middle east, all the time creating a larger humanitarian burden on the west and taking attention away from Ukraine and Russia. If the west becomes burdened enough, China will jump in by attacking Taiwan, if that happens it would probably be right before elections but we need the middle east to go in to full chaos for that to happen.
If they believe it can be a super extended war, they'll play the long game. Overall, ALL non allied sides will be winning pieces from the Israel/Palestine conflict.

Pumped_'s picture

Iran, Russia, and China are forming an axis using pawns.

SimonM84's picture

Russia pulled the Monroe doctrine on the west and seems to want to trade within its neighboring empires. These countries are simply countering globalization. Kudos to them, we should follow suit and focus inward on our empire establishing trade with the Americas (north and south) and give the middle finger to European monarchy, but the kings and queens own us so we have to do their dirty work.

DeeMan's picture

That's no conspiracy theory lol...hell that's fact. But besides that Israel, Hamas and Hezbollah have been going at it for so long.

This is the crazy part, Israel were in talks with Saudia Arabia in order to come to some type of peace between the two and all of a sudden during these talks Hamas attacks Israel. Seems to me Hamas wants to keep Israel isolated in the middle east with no allies.

I dont mind the multi subjects here. Voice your opinion, this is a safe haven, no judge free zone lol

Sounds good to me

JakeKO's picture

It kinda makes me sick how perfectly honest the USA has to be out loud. These guys are SOLDIERS!!!! If they want the extra boost, why the fuck not??? Because it wouldn’t be fair to the enemy???? What the flying fuck is wrong with people??? You can throw massive machine guns in their hands, but god forbid you give them that could enhance the most important part of being a soldier, their bodies. That just doesn’t make any sense to me. Especially when they could completely monitor them and set a protocol to create the best of the best. The only reason I would question it is because of their age.
