The commander of the IDF’s 98th Division said he would work on evacuation plans “if and when” he is told to launch an invasion.
A Hamas police vehicle was struck in Gaza’s southern city of Rafah on Wednesday evening in what Palestinian media reported as a targeted assassination by the IDF.
According to the reports, Hamas police’s special forces head, Majdi Abd al-Aal, was killed in the suspected attack.
Let me ask all you Hamas apologists a simple question, why won’t the arab brothers next door to the Palestinians allow them refuge in Egypt?

How am I supporting anything? It’s people with mouths like this that are causing problems.
You defend a country that the ICJ has found to be conducting a plausible genocide. Makes you a genocide supporter.
Wow IDF goes hard on lemmy lately.
In the last month there’s been a deluge of new accounts that are relay posts for right wing/Ruzzian disinformation.
Really? IMHO neither IDF or MOSSAD are doing their jobs. There can be some 11d chess they are playing but the fact is, HAMAS or Stormfront doesn’t need their own social media while here exists,
The dude I replied to is openly calling for ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and receiving 11 upvotes. The amount of IDF troll accounts have increased over the last two weeks. This looks like a targeted campaign. I hope the moderators can get a grip and ban these people.
I see a total score of negative 15 on that comment, and I know I have seen that person posting in other threads on Lemmy since before the October 7th attack, so I don’t think this is a bot. Just a person with a real bad take.
Because Egypt is a dictatorship that doesn’t care about Egyptians or Palestinians. The general sisi accepted billions of dollars in bribes and therefore does what the US and Saudi want. (Saudi doesn’t like Hamas because they view it as related to Muslim Brotherhood and thus a threat to their monarchy)
But nice try trying to engage in Whataboutism.
What a question to ask in the context of a genocide.
I’m sure you’ve got some interesting notions - why don’t they?
I’m guessing it’s the Palestinians’ fault they’re being genocided and can’t be displaced into Egypt?
Who is a Hamas apologist ?
You haven’t seen any posts here defending Hamas?
Nope
You’re not looking are you?
I’m trying my best to be objective, and while I do admit I am not without fault, I have not seen what you are referring to. Are you sure you’re not misattributing anything? Sympathy for Palestine does not equal defending Hamas’ actions. I have yet to see a single post defending Hamas or their actions on Lemmy. I have, however, seen a lot of condemnation of Israel’s actions. Maybe I am mistaken, but I believe you are conflating the two.
Hasbara
Seems that most Arab countries aim for two things
Why should Palestinians leave the land they’ve been living on for centuries and become displaced refugees in another country?

Can I assume you are saying - since other countries refuse to accept them, it must be acceptable to commit genocide? How do you feel about the voyage of the damned (1939), where 937 mostly Jewish refugees were turned away in the Americas? All had to return to Europe, 255 died in the war, many in the death camps.
I am asking specifically about one country and that is one with a shared border. The rest of your assumption is in your imagination.
Thanks for the clarification. So it needs to be a neighbouring country which refuses entry. I wasn’t able to find any evidence of neighbours of Nazi Germany preventing entry to Jewish refugees but it seems odd all these desperate Jews would travel across the Atlantic to Cuba in the hopes of getting into USA. Couldn’t they go to Western Europe, be safe then continue to USA? Unless they were officially/unofficially not welcomed. All in my head and the Holocaust didn’t happen in 1939 so nothing to worry about.
You are a special type, aren’t you? The Nazis had the Jews captive, but Hamas supposedly doesn’t. Two different things. nice try though.
That ship left from Hamburg Germany. And why would Hamas need to keep Gazans captive in the largest open air prison in the world, maintained by Israel.
you asked why the Jews didn’t leave Nazi Germany, did you forget already? There have been camps in Germany since 1938. Not all Jews were lucky enough to be outside them. that is the reason Jews could not leave. The Palestinians are not held in camps or prisons by Hamas so stop being foolish.
Are you conveniently forgetting that Israel, yes, the same Israel has expelled more than 700K Palestinians in 1948 and is still refusing to grant them the right to return? How do you justify this in your eyes?
What if it was the other way around?
let’s see if I understand this. The Gaza Strip is bordered by Israel on two sides, Egypt on one side, and the Mediterranean on the last side. Yet almighty Israel is the prison keeper? Surely you jest.
Yes and here is an article explaining why. https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/menasource/gaza-israel-occupied-international-law/
An occupation does not equal a prison. Nice try though.
According to Godwin’s law, you have lost the argument by having to make a comparison to Nazis.
Unless the comparison is apt. Godwin addendum below.

Good opinion piece. https://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-godwin-godwins-law-20180624-story.html
Lol that these Hamas apologists can’t make a single argument for their position based on it’s own merits. Have to resort to facetious Nazi comparisons which will never convince anyone.
Because they don’t want to deal with a refuge crisis.
Do you realise that the Nazis used the same wording for jewish people ? Asking other countries to take jewish people as refugees to get them out of Nazi controlled territories. Are you seriously using the same tactic as the Nazis right now to kick Palestinians out of their homes ?
If I was either in Gaza or in Israel you might have a point but I’m here on Lemmy asking a question and you are using your imagination on overdrive.
Yeah because the way you asked your question wasnt indicative at all. " Let me ask you hamas apologists" etc… you’re just asking a question right ?
Asking that in that manner and using the same questions the Nazis used to get rid of jewish people from the lands they occupied, the same way israeli politicians are asking to ethnically cleanse the Palestinians should give you pause at least.
Am I to shut my mouth while these guys freely defend Hamas? Isn’t that what you are accusing Israel of doing to the Palestinians?
Criticizing Israel’s actions does not automatically equal defending Hamas. This is not a zero sum game.
There are actual defenders of Hamas here. Open your eyes and you will see. Or keep them closed if you prefer.
