Israeli forces discovered the bodies of six hostages in a 65-foot-deep tunnel in Rafah, approximately a kilometer from where hostage Farhan Alkadi was recently freed. The IDF had no precise intelligence on the hostages’ location in recent months but knew there were captives in the sector, leading to a gradual and cautious operation in Rafah since the ground offensive began.

    And that Hamas soldiers father/wife/children/brother/sister would still be alive if Israel didn’t kill them. Kinda tit for tat? Honestly, Hamas taking hostages is the humane thing. Israel doesn’t take hostages. They just kill.

        Brother, this is basic violence begets violence response. I ain’t over here clapping and cheering as Hamas executes Israelies. I am mourning. But I also recognize that Hamas is a monster of Israel’s creation and it will not go away without either recognizing that and making actual change to the lives of palastinians and giving them their land back and self determination.

        Or genocide the palastinians.

        Those are the two options. Hamas wasn’t the first form of palastinian resistance and it won’t be the last. That’s basic. So if we wanna sit here and talk “psycho response”, I suggest you consider why your on team genocide.

            Friendly reminder that Palestine is an illegally occupied territory and it’s near impossible to “improve your life” without first freeing yourself from oppression.

                Literally a lie.
                Amnesty international.
                The UN.
                Pretty much every government in the world.

                All liars.

              Also, “I am not advocating genocide, but” is so telling about how they actually feel. They’re reveling in this but have to hide their true colors. Good thing they’re really awful at doing that.

                If you abuse our flagging system again, you will be temporarily banned. “Breaks community rules” is not enough. The posts you flag do not break community rules.

                  I reported like three of their comments, and they were:

                  • A comment that told another commenter “fuck you”.
                  • A comment that calls Islam “a shit religion for shit people”. Rule 4 of this community reads: “Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.”
                  • “Antisemitic leftists run this shithole.” (if you don’t believe this specifically violates rules, that’s cool, but I also can’t imagine calling this an “abuse” of the reporting system.)

                  Was there a fourth one? Was that the abuse of the system? I’m just confused here. (Didn’t downvote you, btw; just genuinely perplexed.)

                  Edit: in fact, ironically, this user’s account seems to have been banned ostensibly for the things they’ve said here, and while LW’s ToS aren’t the exact same as PS’, they’re extremely similar. I can’t think of anything weird or out there that PS does in their ToS that means would’ve gotten banned on PS but not on LW.

                Bloody hell, yes. I missed that!

                I’m not advocating for genocide, but…

                Predictably goes on to unambiguously advocate for genocide
