Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

They were never fighting hamas to begin with

They were just happy to have an opportunity to make it look as though they were.

It would be of no surprise to me if Netanyahu orchestrated Hamas' attack.

At a minimum they certainly knew it was coming and reduced the number of IDF near the border and sent in their own helicopters to shoot civilians so they could pump the civilian numbers up and blame Hamas.

Why? Israel has been trying to take that land since 1917.

They haven’t taken it yet because of Hamas.

And why is Hamas there if we follow the entire timeline?

[–] anas 1 points 5 months ago

They’re there as resistance to the occupation. I’m not sure where these questions are going.
