LMAO come on, guess they didn’t expect the IDF to fight back 🤷🏽
Taking a shit in the public water supply, getting roughed up as people demand to know why you just shat in the only watersource, and then you tell them to chill and that you “got your point across” lmao.
Just as a little reality check for all Hamas “fans” (Hamas not Palestine!!) out here which are actually comparing them to Israel or openly defending them. The Hamas is founded on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which are a fairytale full of antisemitism and proven, false statements about Jews and how they are responsible for every bad thing that happens during the centuries and their diabolical plot for world domination (of course one of the favorite lecture of the Nazis)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Protocols_of_the_Elders_of_Zion
Those idiots are really believing this fairytale and they use it to justify the murder of innocent people and Jews in general. So the next time you step in in defense of the Hamas or when you compare them to Israel, keep in mind that they are doing this because they believe in some antisemitic fairytale written by a crazy Russian back in the old days…they are basically Scientology only more degenerated and more violent.
You should also be asking the question–are Lemmy developers anti-semtic?
This whole situation has seriously caused me to reconsider a great many things about Lemmy. I can’t support lemmy, at all, if they are pro-murdering terrorist (Hamas, ISIS, et al). The lemmy.ml instance (run by the developers) has serious foundational issues and to me, I am wondering who it is that is writing this software, and who is paying them.
Removed by mod
Kbin isn’t really a fork, but it does have a similar feature set.
Okay, then go back to reddit then
pretty much
Just block lemmy.ml - who cares what the devs think. It’s an open source project.
It’s a problem for states that are supporting developers who are supporting terrorists.
If you were genuinely curious one of the devs has a massive manifesto. No need to speculate I’m pretty sure it covers every topic known to man.
I don’t recall seeing anything particularly antisemitic but I was honestly so dumbfounded I wouldn’t know where to start looking.
So I went back because I was curious. Again it is a fucking wild ride, I suggest yall search it out. I’m not gonna post it because I don’t wanna bring any unnecessary bandwagoning. But I searched for anti-semitism real quick and found this:
It proves absolutely nothing but it would be pretty weird to see the devs of lemmy cite anti-semitism as a reason Orwell was bad if they were also anti-semitic.
crazy, lemmy is dead to me after these posts. people need to know, it is unsupportable imo.
Bro stop crying. The devs don’t profit from this like a private company would. Don’t use their instance, spin up your own, the project is open source and bigger than them. Your political grandstanding means nothing.
Lemmy is literally just a GUI for the ActivityPub protocol. You don’t have to love or support lemmy to be involved here, and that is what makes ActivityPub so incredible. You can get the exact same content using a wholly different platform. Check out kbin or mastodon or something.
can you elaborate on this? I wonder if the situation is any other on a platform like reddit so I suppose it’s the people not the platform
Lemmy has a huge tankie problem and it becomes really apparent when a situation like this comes up
Why tankies/leftists think Palestine is in any way aligned with them is beyond me
yeah I see this now, kind of frightening
From what I saw, there was one developer spouting some abhorant things, talking about how all Israeli citizens were targets at this point. I haven’t seen anything else about other developers sharing these views though so I’m considering it an isolated nutter until we see more
Lemmy.ml is run by the developers on lemmy, and if you look at the modlog, it looks like the lemmy developers deleted comments then banned a shit ton of people who were not virulently anti-Israel. It is pretty shocking to me, as the anti-Israel stuff remained. Who are the developers, and who is paying them?
Move to another instance. Done.

I want you to talk to 50 different people and ask them what “antisemitism” means. See how many even mention Arabs.
oh fuck right off with this poor attempt to derail the conversation! you know exactly what i’m talking about when I use the term antisemitism…
Sure, but they aren’t wrong. It’s anti judaic not anti semitic.
No it’s not, you’re dead wrong:
Due to the root word Semite, the term is prone to being invoked as a misnomer by those who interpret it as referring to racist hatred directed at all “Semitic people” (i.e., those who speak Semitic languages, such as Arabs, Assyrians, and Arameans). This usage is erroneous; the compound word antisemitismus (lit. ‘antisemitism’) was first used in print in Germany in 1879 as a “scientific-sounding term” for Judenhass (lit. ‘Jew-hatred’), and it has since been used to refer to anti-Jewish sentiment alone.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism https://www.britannica.com/topic/anti-Semitism https://commission.europa.eu/strategy-and-policy/policies/justice-and-fundamental-rights/combatting-discrimination/racism-and-xenophobia/combating-antisemitism/definition-antisemitism_en
It really always amazes me how people like you are able top post really dumb shit like this while we are living in the age of technology where it is so easy to do a fact check in seconds from various trustful sources…I really can’t explain it, it’s either ignorance or you are doing it on purpose…
Nope, the etymology of “anti-Semitism” originates with one man named willhelm who used it specifically as a racial term though yes clearly a veiled commentary on Judaism. It didn’t however change the meaning of the word as used by its Creator.
Google it’s etymology and get back to me about how “people like me” are.
And the swastika was originally a religious symbol in Eurasia.
While true, it is a pointless fact that contributes nothing to the discussion as they are commonly used in a different way and understood by everybody. This is nothing more than derailing a discussion.
Across the planet actually, notably American native populations used it.
That’s my point. Using “anti Semitic” as anti judaic is soft propaganda.
Can you please just fuck off and leave me alone with your antisemitic bullshit and false statements? Nevermind there is a blocking function for people like you…
Anti judaic is what it would be, I’m not however bigoted in that manner. I hate both of these fucks and religion in general for excusing such behavior.
But no screech about how objective fact isn’t so because your fee fees got hurt by things I never said.
Arabic is a semitic language. This is like saying Bengalis and Irish folks are both of the same clade because Gailge and Bangla are both IE languages.
Hamas fucked around, is finding out, and want to talk “truce?” What does a truce with a bunch of genocidal terrorists look like?
Hamas fucked around and innocent arab palestinians are finding out.
Well, Hamas is who those innocent Palestinians chose to be their government
Some did. They don’t exactly hold elections, though.
Last time they did, Hamas won
My worry isn’t really the voters that were enfranchised then, ya know? It’s gonna be mothers with bloody infants that fuck me up. Or young men pressed into ‘service’. Or really any young casualties.
Then they should probably do something about Hamas.
I’ll donate an infant sized rifle.
Good question, should ask Israel the same thing.
Not carpet bombing the Gaza strip, where 2 and a half million palestinians live I’d imagine.
If Israel was carpet bombing the Gaza Strip, we wouldn’t see hundreds dead. We would see hundreds of thousands dead.
Fair enough. They seem poised to try their best, I truly hope the situation de escalates and actual solutions are sought after.
That all depends on whether Hamas starts executing hostages and uploading the videos to the internet, like they’re threatening
Let’s try this conversation again in 2 weeks.
A senior Hamas official said the group is open to discussions over a possible truce with Israel, having “achieved its targets.”
Yep, Hamas managed to entrench both sides in their fucking atrocity competition, so Hamas and the Israeli right-wing can both hang onto power by the fear and hatred stirred in their populations. Great. Same time again next year?
Fucking scumsuckers.
After what happened, I don’t think Israel is going to allow Hamas to hang on to power. They are not going to allow Gaza to ever again be in a position to attack Israeli citizens, and that’s going to come at the cost of a lot of innocent Palestinians.
Sounds just like Putin saying they’re open to talks.
Removed by mod
Hamas has a lot of hostages now, including some high value ones from the IDF. They also severely humiliated the Israeli military and intelligence apparatus, reminding the world that Israel is not invulnerable and demonstrating that Hamas is a more formidable force than ever, which will help them get more international support. I think Hamas is in a strong position to secure concessions from Israel.
Removed by mod
The Netanyahu government famously traded over one thousand Palestinian prisoners, including some lifers, for a single live IDF soldier. There have also been significant trades just for captured remains. So, the precedent is that Israel will pay a big price to get its people back.
I suppose there is a non-zero chance that Israel decides to forsake the hostages, but I think the political cost would be too high. Also, that would really hurt IDF morale and discipline if there’s suddenly a new policy that they won’t negotiate your release if you get captured.
Something else to consider is that maybe Gaza kind of serves as a perpetual crisis that helps the Israeli hardliners maintain their grip on power. They might still want to keep it around.
You’d be quite wrong to think that.
Oh wow thank you for the detailed analysis.
If they wipe out Gaza that’s 2.2million people to be “clear cut”. That’s not a good look no matter how much good PR a side has
They’ve been murdering Palestinians for decades already. And nobody gave a shit, why would they start now?
Removed by mod
There are 6 million people in Israel, of that about 2 million is Israel Palestinian.
There are a about 6 million people in Palestinian.
If Israel won’t let Palestine be a independent country, then the 4 million Isrealies and the 8 million Palestinians need to integrate and come to some South African truth and reconciliation level of cultural assimilation.
Not letting people be independent but making them second class citizens will never see a end to violence.
Removed by mod
At the moment there is so much bad blood that I don’t think that the current generation can reach a truce. It doesn’t also help that neither of the sides is ready to make any concessions and without concessions long lasting peace would never be achieved.
Removed by mod
But Palestine and especially the Hamas are also denying Israel their right to be an independent country. The Hamas is also denying Jews in general their existence and wants to eradicate them, how does this work in your equation?
The conflict between Israel and Palestine is the real one and worth solving, but the Hamas is nothing more than a terror organization.
I agree. Hamas is an intractable bad actor. To get reconciliation between the populations, we need to have both populations engaged in a hopeful future, so that most of the population does not support religious extremists violent bad actors. We have to make Hamas the worst option for the general population, not the best.
Israel and Palestine both exist on the same land. There’s no solution that’s going to make everybody happy. In an ideal world they’d both have their independent territory split, and let bygones be bygones. But that’s not the world we live in.
If Palestine can’t have its own land, then I see the only tenable solution is integration between the populations. You can’t have an effectively imprisoned population and expect stability.
Honestly, I blame the British. Their long history of drawing lines on maps, the local people be damned, has been the source of lots of conflict.
Other potential options I see: a UN military force maintaining a separation between the populations, and a road to independence.
A secular government, from all religions, being the administrative head of the entire territory, and then religious governments for subregions to represent their direct populations. Something like the state model in the United States.
I agree on most points with you. But don’t forget we had the UN draw a line between both countries and declared their independence. The answer was a declaration of war to Israel, which they actually won and which resulted in an enlargement of the territory of Israel, which I don’t call fair or helpful in this conflict but understandable from the point of the “winner”…
I blame both sides for their actions but as long as the Hamas or the Hisbollah exist I can’t see any chance for peace and I really can’t blame Israel for fighting against terrorists. And please don’t forget the Hamas is also very responsible for the death of civilians in Palestine, this is actually part of their strategy and very welcomed by their leadership. Civilian casualties are always welcomed by terrorists because they create anger, desperation and rage and fuel their shameful cause even further.
A lot of these discussions get bogged down about who is right, who is wrong, who is morally justified. It doesn’t matter at the nation state level.
I’m not familiar with the UN enforced independence, I do know the UN secured the Gaza Egypt border for a period of time.
There are intransigent bad actors on both sides, religious extremists on the Palestinian side, and agitating settlers on the Israeli government side. So no matter what happens, there’s always going to be bad activities, that’s going to spark up more bad blood at the population level.
Hamas, absolutely wants to create civilian casualties on both sides, because it helps their recruitment, helps reinforce their mission, draws an attention internationally, gets them funding and weapons. Give us money look we stir shit up, we could stir shit up for you.
So going back to the real politic, the current situation is not going to be resolved with a military incursion on either side. I’m not sure who benefits from this situation long-term, but when both parties just keep repeating previous actions, they’re stuck in a loop.
Perhaps this latest activity Will be used to depopulate Gaza migrating everybody to the West Bank, we’re then hamas’s political power would be diminished. I think that would spur a lot more violence, but maybe clearing Gaza is more important than the violence. I’m not sure.
Israel purposely helped Hamas to power so there would be no moderate Palestinians to foster a peaceful solution.
Honestly the question is would anybody care enough to do something about it? I see headlines everyday finger wagging at bigwigs all across the world but nothing actually gets done to them.
If history is the guide, no one will intervene in the depopulation of a well armed country until the antagonist country makes international war.
Now wipe out Hamas, that’s something I could get behind. All the best for the rest of Palestine.
What Hamas did requires a response from Israel, and no amount of “truce now, k?” will be work. It’s sad, but the only course for Israel is to hit back, and hard. Anything less would be bending over and showing Hamas can do this again.
In other words, you can’t stab a person, and then go “whoa stahp” when the bleeding guy pulls a bigger gun on you.
Bystanderd will be hurt, but I hope it will be over quick and afterwards there can be a path towards something better.
Before you engage with what I said, be sure to read up on https://lemmy.world/comment/4385358
I wish Hamas could be eradicated, it would be the single best step for Palestine, and not far behind, Israel and the rest of the world.
Exchange prisoners for Hamas leaders, make Hamas say outright that they see Palestinian lives as lesser than their own.
If they actually have enough spine to take the deal, start a whole new Nuremberg trial and purge everyone down to the “just following orders” grunts and rebuild from there.
Revisionist history: https://www.cnn.com/2011/10/17/world/meast/israel-prisoner-swap-explainer/index.html
Beheads babies, kills 250 people at a music festival, rapes and murders women before parading them down a street, then proceeds to beg for a ceasefire when the “find out” phase begins
Edit: the babies claim is not confirmed
Man people downvoting you cause they literally just want their echo chamber and not facts.
Yeah, I would bet rumors have spread through soldiers trying to one up each other on how terrible Hamas is, but where there is smoke their might be fire.
I’ll just leave this here.
I’ve said this before in this same thread but I will say it again: I think Israel needs to end the blockade of Gaza, withdraw from the West Bank, end the settlement policy, and negotiate with the Palestinian authority. But I have no sympathy for Hamas after what they have done and I hope they are completely destroyed as an organization.
Israel has refused to negotiate. Palestinian leadership has tried.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure they’re way past the line.
Yeah sorry Hamas, no takesy backsies when you just murdered a bunch of civilians at a peace festival.
It’s like your brother just stole your favourite toy and then he’s like “ok now we can have a truce”.
Except the toy was yours to begin with and your brother has been rubbing the fact he was able to steal it with outside support in your face while actively stealing more of your toys and you finally stood up and took it back from him.
Don’t commit genocide if you don’t want your own people genocided
It is so much more complicated than that. Both sides have done horrible things, but this last provocation was completely offside.
I wonder what other major event happened in the early 40’s? That also was Palestine the territory of Egypt and Jordan, not an independent Palestian state.
Misleading on purpose perhaps?
Again, it is so much more complicated than it appears.
Also murdered 40 babies in kfar aza, including beheadings.
Atrocity propaganda, the journalist tweeted that they overheard that from a soldiers conversation and reported it as fact.
No evidence yet it is true.
Huh, yeah looking into it, it seems like a rumor for now.
Might be something with a grain of truth but right now there is bodies, and they are starting to pile up fast enough we can’t count how many there were at the beginning. It’s amazing how quickly this has escalated into what people wanted anyway.
No evidence of 250 dead. Only videos of people running away and Israeli eye witnesses saying resistance fighters were kind to them.
Nice atrocity propaganda though.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Oct 9 (Reuters) - A senior Hamas official said the group is open to discussions over a possible truce with Israel, having “achieved its targets.”
Moussa Abu Marzouk told Al Jazeera in a phone interview that Hamas was open to “something of that sort” and “all political dialogues” when asked whether the Islamist group is willing to discuss a possible ceasefire.
The original article contains 61 words, the summary contains 61 words. Saved 0%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
0%. Bad bot.
Normally I find this bot terrible, but in this case, the source is so tiny there isn’t much for it to do.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Oct 9 (Reuters) - A senior said Israel achieved its targets in a phone interview.
The original article contains 61 words, the summary contains 11 words. Saved 82%. I’m not a bot and I’m closed source!
Real Putin energy here.
Lol no way; Hamas needs to be wiped out completely. They can never, ever, be trusted and will just do this shit again in the future.
Same, but the IDF
I mean yeah it’d be great if you could just do that. But how would you? And more importantly, how is the state of Israel proposing to get rid of Hamas? What actions are they taking right now with that aim? They’re bombing palestinians. Just random indiscriminate bombing. How exactly would that eliminate Hamas? Their plan is just to kill as many palestinians as they can, Netanyahu has said himself he plans to “turn Gaza into a desert island” and his defense minister has said “our enemies are human animals”. It’s plain as day what they plan to do.
Yes I’m aware of what Israel is doing. No, I don’t know of any better ways to get rid of Hamas.
At least you’re honest. I don’t see mass murder of innocent Palestinian men women and children as acceptable as a kind of attack on Hamas. Palestinians have as much right to life as Israelis do, and we should be as outraged at their senseless deaths as we have been about the festival goers.
But Israel is allowed to murder men, women and children and steal homes, land for decades right?
Hypocrisy at its finest.
Yeah, what Hamas did is entirely wrong but don’t forget that Israel been oppressing Palestinians for decades.
Hypocrisy at its finest.
Nope. I don’t support Israel doing that either. However, Hamas will never tolerate peace. They will never allow a 2-state compromise; they want Israel completely gone. And Israel is allowed to defend it’s borders. There is no happy ending here for anyone.
The right-wing party in Israel (the party currently in control even after losing multiple elections) will also never support peaceful co-existence. They will never allow a real two state solution where the other state has control over its borders, air, water, import rights, etc. They want Palestine completely gone, and in fact Bibi was just at the UN arguing that Israel already has complete control and ownership over the Palestinian territories. Palestine is allowed to defend against the longest running occupation in history. There is no happy ending here as long as the Israeli boot is on the Palestinian neck.
Unfortunately for Palestine, Israel will win.
They already have total military control. What does win mean?
Relocate the population from the Gaza strip to the West Bank?
Birth control in the water supply, so the population slowly ages out?
Internment camps for all military aged men?
It will likely mean leveling Gaza to the ground and telling its residents to find somewhere else to live without giving them support. It won’t be pleasant for anyone.
The Gaza strip is within Israel’s borders. They hold direct power over whether the people who live there have electricity water and food.
Israel is not defending itself. They are using hamas attacks as a pretext to commit mass violence on Palestinians.
Of course Israel is defending itself against a homicidal organization. The fact it’s in Israel’s borders is irrelevant.
Its very relevant. Is depriving all 2 and a half million palestinians of food water and electricity self defense? Is bombing palestinian homes an act of self defense? Is depriving palestinians of human rights an act of self defense?
Self defense is not murdering innocent people. It never is no matter what. They’re using the attack from hamas as a pretext to commit mass acts of violence against innocent Palestinians.

Maybe I’m ignorant, but isn’t hammas a terrorist group? If so fuck them, but keep Palestine alone.
Hamas is a response to a repressive Israeli regime. Even if you “wipe out” Hamas, another group will just fill its place.
It’s not a matter of just getting rid of the “bad guys” and hoping the forces of good win the day… It requires a monumental shift not only in the treatment of the Palestinians, but in the entire political structure of the area. Which is neither happening easily nor quickly. And sadly, there’s not a whole lot we can do to help the situation.
The Palestinian people have to see a better option than extremist violence. People will take what they think is their best incentive. If they have no hope, if they feel like they have no representation, then they choose violence. So we have to give the people a better option than Hamas
deleted by creator
Sure. What you say is true. Everyone responds to their incentives.
There is a asymmetry in this scenario though, the Israeli government has 100% military control over the entire country.
I don’t know the solution to the scenario, but if we keep repeating previous patterns, we’re going to get previous outcomes.
deleted by creator
I don’t know if you know this but Hamas is controlling the administration of the Gaza Strip. They are a terrorist organisation but also the de facto local government.
Ok, but destroying Gaza and killing all the inhabitants is still genocide and a war crime.
Hamas really killed themselves with their murders, Israels response will be brutal and long. But they will not kill “everyone” as you say, they are bombing Hamas targets and many of them are located in civilian spots. It will not stop Israel after these terror attacks and everyone knew this beforehand. Israels actions before have been exactly the same.
Hopefully Hamas will be completely eradicated and the Palestinians will reject these fascist leaders from now on, for betraying their trust and leading their people to even more suffering.
It is all just tragic and awful.
Majority of Palenstinians support Hamas.
I have lived through terrorism. They will kill anyone who is brave enough to spose them, and the rest are too afraid of speaking out from retaliation, Hamas is no different.
Wipe them away. Fucking monsters.
Have you seen the videos of abducted children in cages? Hamas must be removed.
Have you seen the video of the American dude from NY going to Palestine and stealing a Palestinian’s house?
Have you seen my glasses?
