how
how does one not expect this
who the fuck is in charge of Hamas’s foreign affairs reports
It’s a terror organization, what did you expect? Common sense?
They’re a terror organisation in the West. They’re a national liberation movement in the rest of the world.
Edit: they are literally called the Islamic resistance movement.
Yes. They murdered children, burning babies and slitting their throats. What heroes.
Idiot.
Good job repeating Israeli propaganda about burned babies.
An Iranian informant who gets intel from Russia most likely. Not gonna make excuses for them, but they’re clearly being played by Iran, and Iran got the flare up it wanted. The US is already retaliating on Iran so I’d imagine there’s some credence that Iran was deeply involved.
Same mistake Bin Laden made. He thought 9/11 would open Americans eyes to its imperialism and rise up against their government or some stupid shit like that. They always underestimate how much Americans love solving issues by throwing bombs at them.
No, Bin Laden believed the US was a fallen and sinful nation, and that our reaction would isolate us from our allies in the Arab World. He wasn’t an anti-imperialist, he was just a religious fanatic who was assmad that the Saudis cozied up with US infidels.
He was only accidentally correct, for that matter. Our initial reaction against Afghanistan did not isolate us from our allies in the Arab World. The later, unrelated invasion of Iraq did.
Kickin’ Ass!
Kickin’ Ass is what we do!
Kickin’ Ass!
The iron foot in the velvet shoe.
We don’t care whose ass we kick;
if we’re ever all alone
we’ll just stand in front of the mirror
and try and kick our own.
I wonder how Ukraine factored into the calculus. Normally yeah, you should expect this. But maybe there was doubt of funding and supporting both Ukraine and Israel concurrently.
It’s possible they also thought that half of our political system willfully shitting the bed was going to slow things down a bit, but they didn’t account for how much that same half of our political system absolutely loves killing brown people.
