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.

But Hamas is or maybe was a threat to Israel

[–] lennybird 16 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Israel already had one or the two piece puzzle to stopping Hamas from being a threat; they had a strong air-defense system, and could've used their military reserves to actually properly defend their border. A disgrace that motorcycles and gliders could just waltz on over, especially in lieu of known intelligence of an impending attack.

Leveling Gaza only exacerbates radicalization for decades to come without actually addressing the root causes for said radicalization.

They're just following the Western playbook for counter-terrorism but it's next level deranged

If you punch people they are a threat because they might punch back - israel

[–] Somethingcheezie -2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

In the same analogy you punch them until they stop fighting. Stay down. What ever the definition is for you’ve won and they give up.

Problem here is the weaker side wants to genocide the other. So no matter when they stop the fight will still go on.

Irony is Israel was formed due to genocide against them. Whole situation is a centuries old religious mess.

[–] Linkerbaan 1 points 5 months ago

The weaker side does not want to Genocide whatsoever this is already proven in the West Bank that tried to settle for peace but still gets ethnically cleansed by Nazisrael

The myth that Palestinians want to Genocide israelis is a massive myth. And israel was formed by committing Genocide not by being Genocided. Especially not by Palestinians.

Zionists existed before WW2.
