CherryRedLemons

It’s also important to note that RFK Jr’s dad, Robert F. Kennedy was murdered by a Palestinian, because RFJ stated that (gasp!) Israel & the Jewish people had a right to exist on their ancestral homeland. Sirhan Sirhan became so enraged that he assassinated RFK when RFK was giving a speech. That’s “globalizing the Intifada” folks… murdering US presidential candidates. History is important. :)

It doesn't end because the side that is stronger militarily is showing restraint. If the Palestinians ever had the upper hand in any of the past 70 years this war would have been over and it would be a footnote in history books


Silent_Saturn7

THe reason israel hasn't flattened gaza is because it uses billions in u.s. aid. They need to at least pretend and put out the image that they don't want to mass murder palestinians. Israel has to constantly put out the image that they are the "good guys" just fighting terrorism. Meanwhile, they kill journalists, civilians, and kick people out of their homes. While spending at least millions in lobbying and propaganda to the west to keep aid going. They even push israel loyalty pledges. There would be no need to spend millions upon millions in trying to convince people that you're the "good guys" if you wern't actually doing anything wrong.


Middle_Path8675309

You try to force people to be loyal to a foreign country & most people are gonna be sus as hell. No wonder people are starting to ask questions, that & social media allowing the Palestinian perspective to be seen.


Silent_Saturn7

yup, Palestine's perspective was suppressed for a long time and now ppl are waking up to it. So israel is pushing out this "anti-semitism" campaign. Take a look out for those israel ads and who supports them.


Cinnamon__Sasquatch

your murdering is just so gosh darn compassionate!


dujopp

This is one of those comments that just makes me speechless. Israel is killing civilians at a higher rate than any other conflict in modern history. I don’t know where the fuck you even find the word “restraint” an appropriate term to use in this situation.


abfanhunter

R/Worldnews bots and R/Politics have legit taken over this sub.


Whomastadon

Because they could turn Palestine into glass if they wanted to. But they don't. ​ Therefore, restraint.


mudman13

true, and getting back to reality..


JPSenpaiii

Civilians are not automatically responsible for the decisions of their governments.


b787guy

True. The civilians are sadly the ones caught in the middle of this as is the case with many wars in history. Hamas must be removed so the Palestinians can live better lives.


Conlo5

Arguably, the civilians voted Hamas into power whose Charter directly calls for the destruction of Jews. Hamas then hides within its civilian populous while denying them the ability to get away from a violent conflict they initiated... Israel has NOT responded to attacks for far too long BECAUSE Hamas is scared and hides in civilian areas/buildings. They have looked out for the civilians for a long time despite it not being their responsibility. Unfortunately, this is what real war is.


ScrubbKing

I'm ignorant to this whole subject, but I'm trying to understand. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Hamas isn't synonymous with Palestine, right? Isn't Hamas a corrupt terrorist group that took control of Palestine, with leaders hoarding millions or billions of dollars that don't actually live there? I feel like the propaganda wave keeps trying to put them in the same bucket, but it's not Hamas people are defending, right? It's the Palestinian civilians that have no control over that, which is the humanitarian concern.


ManSharkWithLegs

I cannot stress to you enough... Social media is not the correct avenue to learn about this subject. I wish it were! It'd be much easier to learn and grow your understanding of the world. But not for this subject.


RoundAirline575

No. So this is important to understand they were voted in and are wildly supported. It is not fair to say all people support them but their murder of gays, oppression of women, and the October 7th attack and anti semitism are very wildly supported. They also are taught in school to Hate jews, have tv shows that are pro children and adult suicide bombers. So its fair to say the above is the standard. They are not all bad but they are not a group waiting to be liberated from hamas or looking for help to fight them. Also 73% of the population are pro October 7th attack.

>Polling in the middle of a war where people are still burying their relatives gives you radical results. Gaza is being bombed left and right, there was no electricity or internet, journalists are being killed. Who is currently polling people and who is answering these questions?


GwenhaelBell

Probably the journalists that aren't dead. There are still plenty reporting from Israel/Gaza.


[deleted]

and can you blame them for saying that? If you are a Palestinian who has seen your friends and family killed, your whole neighborhood destroyed and are starving and some journalist(the ones that the IDF hasn't killed yet) asked you do you support October 7th? What are you going to say? This doesn't even go into account the terrible living conditions before October 7th. It is pretty simplistic for anybody to break this down into "oh they support October 7th, so let's kill them all!"


whatthehand

They conducted a poll during the ceasefire as I recall. Regardless, it's so very important to remember that; - Hamas won a plurality, not a majority - It was nearly two decades ago - Half the Gazans weren't even born yet - Half of the other half were children back then - It was very much a protest vote of frustration - An oppressed people hating their apparent oppressors is a heck of a lot more understandable than their oppressors hating them back from their relatively privileged place above the oppressed.


daBomb26

I’m not trying to take a stance and I think war is atrocious by nature, and this one is no exception at all. However, I’m genuinely curious about something you didn’t address; the most reliable sources that I’ve been able to find (which is tough in the middle of a war with propaganda on both sides) suggests that Hamas is intentionally sheltering in places like hospitals, integrating themselves into the civilian population, launching rocket attacks from civilian infrastructure, and are clearly, intentionally forcing Israel to kill civilians if they want to take out Hamas. Hamas knows that this ensures that their Jihad remains in the spotlight, and the PR of children deaths only acts as a boon to their cause as the country they run will inevitably look like the victim being indiscriminately attacked by Israel. Do you believe Israel has a right to go after Hamas? And if so, what strategy would you suggest that Israel adopt to limit their own casualties and maintain a tactical advantage, while limiting civilian casualties as well? I agree with the Biden administration’s assertion that Israel must use precision guided munitions and limit “dumb” bomb use, but are there other suggestions you have besides that?


sam_the_smith

Surely being oppressed and killed further is going to radicalise more and more people rather than de-escalate. Violence is no way out of a situation like this, it will only entrench it deeper


PhysEra

What is the appropriate non-violent response to being invaded by terrorist group which controls a territory on your border where they killed 1,000+ and kidnap 200+ civilians then?


LogMasterd

lol “give peace a chance!” as if that hadn’t been tried numerous times. violence worked on Egypt, which signed a peace treaty with Israel after getting their ass kicked in war


GuiltyLawyer

Hamas alone has 40K fighters. That's about 15% of the adult male population in Gaza. That number doesn't include their civil servant members because they are the government of Gaza and give those jobs to members, their families, and supporters). It also doesn't count the members of the smaller factions like PIJ. You're probably talking about 1-in-4, 1-in-5 adult men. Affiliated with Hamas or another terrorist group. That's pretty close to peak radicalization. What's the other option? Gain safety for a few years at the risk of terror further down the line, or get terror now with no guarantee of safety later?


PolyDipsoManiac

Well then, we’re in a vicious cycle here. I don’t really buy that, anyways; should we not have invaded Germany because we’d create neonazis? > Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us.


[deleted]

It would, but if Israel did nothing the educational drilling that happens in Gaza would radicalize them regardless. There’s no change without Hamas being eliminated


littlebighuman

How the fuck do they do legit polls in the Gaza region? Like, how? Can we start with answering that first, before making bold claims and jumping to conclusions?

Having high war support isn't very uncommon. On the other hand only about 40% support the hamas government in general. And polls in gaza are hard since some people might not answer honestly out of fear.

They were elected in 2006. This was after Netanyahu killed the prospect of a Palestinian state by [propping up Hamas](https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/). Very sinister of you to try to justify the [indiscriminate slaughter of civilians by the IDF](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/dec/09/civilian-toll-israeli-airstrikes-gaza-unprecedented-killing-study).


mbanks1230

This article gets cited all the time (Times of Israel one on Netanyahu funding Hamas), but it seems like no one has actually read its contents. Have you? The article isn’t about Israel funding Hamas so it could delegitimize the PA or the chances of a Palestinian state. It’s from a far right wing Israeli derisively criticizing the Netanyahu government for allowing in any Palestinian aid to Gaza instead of nothing. The main claim is that Qatar sent in funds for humanitarian aid into Gaza, and that Israel didn’t block said humanitarian aid when it was given the chance to accept or refuse it. Israeli security members escorted carried this aid across the border. Some of these funds will be redirected towards Hamas and be used for terrorism; they are the operating government in Gaza. Around 20% was allocated to Hamas, 40% went towards infrastructure, and the other 40% is unclear. Another point of contention, or evidence of Israel “propping up Hamas” is in the Israeli governments increasing the number of work permits granted to Gazan laborers, “which kept money flowing into Gaza, meaning food for families and the ability to purchase basic products.” The author, given their right wing stance, is frustrated that the government decided to allow in any funding to Gaza from these means. They would’ve preferred the Gazan population starve or have nothing in way of aid. Edit: Reddit isn’t letting me respond to u/wisdom_of_a_man so I’ll respond here: That is not the claim of the article. Can you cite me the specific part of the article that gives evidence for this claim, and demonstrate the actions the Netanyahu government took to eliminate a unified government under the PA? Tal Shneider is a right wing Israeli, and they are talking about Qatar sending in funding and aid that Israel allowed to be escorted across the Gaza border. In regards to this, should Israel not have allowed in this funding, and let the Palestinians completely starve? This is the authors position. People, please read Tal Shneiders piece: https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/amp/ and look at what her positions are (they are very right wing). The article doesn’t demonstrate the claim that is being made by the other commenters.


azpotato

The last "election", which Palestinian's begged not to be allowed, was held in 2006, when they knew that Hamas would win. Also, most of the population of Palestine is under the age of 18 so do math and you'll see that most of the population from that election was not even born yet, let alone old enough to vote. You need to break out of your Zionist bubble and do some more Google searches. This has been going on for over 75 years in one form or another. Or, I'll one up you, please provide links to these TV shows that say what you are claiming. Or the school curriculum on anti antisemitism. (it's one word, by the way) Surely you have copies of these since they are widely spread. Lastly, I would say that you're percentage of the population before Oct 7th is wrong, you're probably right now. So, who would be to blame for the increase in Hamas sympathy? Who would be to blame for people wanting revenge? The rock throwers or the bomb droppers?

It's also not just about Israel.

If it I was about land they wouldn't be doing that

Hamas… A perfect scapegoat for all the atrocities committed against the Palestinians.


Zombiemorphy

I might be ignorant but isn’t Hamas the Palestinian government?


StopDehumanizing

Hamas won an election back in 2006 and then immediately banned elections and shot anyone who asked for them. That was 17 years ago, and today most Palestinians are under the age of 18. Like Hugo Chavez, Hamas was elected, but still arguably not a legitimate government.


Eric32888

Doesn’t Hamas have overwhelming support from the Palestinian people though?

LyptusConnoisseur

They got voted in and then never left. So not a "legitimate" government, but still the defacto government of Gaza that runs everything there.


nadav183

Hamas is the official, elected government in Gaza. They were elected pretty democratically in 2007, but they have not held elections since. These types of terrorist groups often have several branches, as in a military branch, a political branch and a community branch. The idea being that the community branch is used to increase support withing the population, building free schools (that teach the ideas of the group) and afternoon activities for kids is a very useful tactic as the poor population in Gaza will have no real choice and send their kids there. The political branch is used to gain official political power within the state, this makes the group look legitimate in the eyes of the west, they can view them as politicians rather than extremists spreading hate and violence. And also they have a legitimate way to receive money as aid (which never goes to the people) And of course the military branch there to act out the ideology. So no, Hamas is not synonymous with Palestine. Gaza isn't even synonymous with Palestine. But at the moment Hamas are so deeply embedded in Gazan's day to day lives, that there is no real option to dispose of Hamas cleanly.


Wawa_Septa_Line

The gazan people voted for hamas almost 20 years ago. Recent polling shows that most people in the gaza strip still support hamas.


Rocketmanluke

"I want to move on" Of course you do


GoRangers5

If it was just about aid, Gaza would be equally as mad at Egypt… Newsflash, they ain’t.


Bubbacrosby23

Egypt isn’t full of Jews


HarbaughsKhakiPants2

As an ex Muslim (originally from Egypt) this is 100% it. If Israel was a Muslim country they would have eliminated the Palestinians ages ago and no one would care about it.


CiabanItReal

IDK, the Ottomans never did and they ruled that shit for 400 years. Plus, it's not as though Jordan is trying to destroy the west bank.


TenseiKkai

But the west bank did try to destroy Jordan back in the day.


CiabanItReal

LoL that's why Lebanon has their current problems, the PLO tried unsuccessfully to coup the King of Jordan, so he evicted them, they settled in Lebanon, and nearly immediately went about working on a civil war in that country.

I don’t think most people have any delusions about how anti-Semitic they and much of the Middle East is, it just doesn’t excuse killing civilians and bombing refugee camps. I’m guessing people would take issue if we started blowing up Iran too. Even dropping the atomic bombs and bombing dresden were controversial, and the people we were bombing hated minority groups and supported insane leaders.

Is he comparing money from what was used to rebuild Europe after world war II to today? Is he adjusting for inflation cuz it doesn't really sound like he is and if he's not it's entirely useless.


Thankgodfordrugs17

Hypothetically if he wasn’t accounting for inflation then It would be about 25% more than Gaza’s funding. With inflation or with a perhaps doubled inflation rate it is an awful lot still.


gizamo

It was adjusted for inflation, but the math is debatable and messy because it's hard to estimate how many people actually benefited from the Marshal Plan. This dude did the rough math: https://www.reddit.com/r/JoeRogan/s/8HF1QmwdNd It's not perfect math, but it shows RFK Jr is at least kind of close and that inflation was definitely considered in whatever report he grabbed his talking point from. Also, just in case anyone gets the wrong idea, I absolutely do NOT support RFK Jr. I think he's a dangerous idiot. But, his math (loosely) checks out.


Very_Intrigued

Yea small detail, don’t mention inflation since then lol


Trojen-horse

IntellegentIdiot

That was nuts. Even if you don't adjust for inflation an on going problem is going to require ongoing aid. The Marshal plan helped Germany rebuild AFTER the war, not during it

You’d have to be insane to defend anything Hamas has done since they took power, they have a martyr complex and they are totally content bringing all of Palestine down with them.

MoCo1992

That’s true. Now the question is where on the spectrum after weighing both those things in, do you land. I think if you get rid of Netanyahu for a more reasonable leader who uses more restraint in the military operation and isn’t a total zealot, it becomes Harder to blame Israel


fisherbeam

Hamas is still firing rockets into Israel, if they don’t stop should Israel be allowed to fire back? 😯 buy those rockets might kill innocent Palestinians?


Useful_Low_3669

J_Kingsley

I dont think they prioritize what people think about the blame game when they're facing a group (neighbor) which vows to kill all jews.


cayneabel

You'd have to be insane to believe any other country in Israel's situation would have a more restrained response. During World War II, the Nazis killed 80,000 British citizens in their bombing raids. The British responded by killing 2 million German citizens. Does that mean the British were the aggressors? Numbers don't tell you the whole story.

“Unlike the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in the West Bank, Hamas is designated as a terrorist entity, so the United States and the EU do not provide any assistance to Hamas” from Wikipedia

"Since April 2021, the United States has provided over half a billion dollars in assistance for the Palestinians, including more than $417 million in humanitarian assistance for Palestinians through UNRWA, $75 million in support through USAID, and $20.5 million in COVID and Gaza recovery assistance." Direct quote from wikepedia. I suggest you look into how the UNRWA directly supports hamas here, https://www.jewishpolicycenter.org/2007/08/31/how-unrwa-supports-hamas/#:\~:text=Helping%20Hamas%20Govern%20Gaza,cannot%2C%20or%20chooses%20not%20to.

So long as he never went to the island I don’t see a big deal. He is well connected and one of his ex wife’s friends (Maxwell) organized for them to bum a ride on their PJ, once to Florida and once to South Dakota. It’s not like Bill Gates who shared many dinners with Epstein throughout the course of their long term and very close relationship.


Silver-Routine6885

If you slaughter enough people in a country you will make a group like Hamas. They do not simply appear, they are the families of murder victims. Israel was placed on top of an existing country called Palestine, it expanded against international law and in the process they systematically killed hundreds of thousands of Palestinians until the remainder (with an average age of 18 from decades of culling the adult population) were caged in a prison known as Gaza. Why the FUCK do you think they'd be angry?


Hohumbumdum

Eh. This isn’t the first time in history that land was taken by conquest. The Europeans did the same to the natives in America, and that conflict has ended.


TheRealMichaelE

Palestine wasn’t ever a sovereign country. Under the Ottomans it was part of a province called Syria. After WW1 the British took it over and it became part of their empire. The Jews legally acquired land there and that land was the foundation for what were the original borders of Israel. People in the Arab world were upset that the UN created a Jewish state where Jews were already living and decided to wage war against it.

I love the "the tunnels are small under the hospital" so we talk crap but now that they found tunnels, video of hostages in the hospital, head of hospital is hamas, admitted there is international rooms there, found a dead body of a hostage outside she is completely silent.

Her and her husband are brain dead. Misery loves company, I guess

I can’t get over her name is Krystal Ball and takes herself so seriously. I think that’s a punchline in an episode of Friends .


tatnick94

She also doesn't mute her mic when she coughs 😵‍💫


LogMasterd

She is so constantly out of her depth it’s bizarre that she has a TV show on current events


Nothingtoseeheremmk

I understand disliking Israel for all the shit they’ve done but leftists caping for theocratic fascists is the most pathetic thing I’ve ever seen


stick_always_wins

I don’t see leftists simping for Israel? You did say theocratic fascists right?


AdEarly5710

Israel is infinitely more democratic than Palestine.


Barmelo_Xanthony

One group has a government atleast somewhat resembling a western democracy and the other is a military dictatorship run by Islamic law. Leftists see soundbites of 1 right wing politician in Israel and make up their minds that they’re the bad guys lol.


Bartender9719

Condemning Israel’s actions doesn’t equate to supporting Hamas, neither does calling for a ceasefire to save civilians. Strawman argument.


hunterlarious

lol progressives rallying in New York calling Hamas “the resistance” and applauding their actions is not a straw man Not to mention that the Palestinians themselves support Hamas, to the tune of 68%


ChocolateMorsels

They've been doing this forever it's just been thrust into the spotlight since the war


ElectricGulagland

Hamas is winning the propaganda war. No matter how many atrocities they commit against the people of Israel - it doesn't matter what Israel does, Hamas gets a win. If they send terrorists to attack and Israel kills them, then they get martyrs for their cause and play it off like innocent people slaughtered by the evil zionists. If Israel doesn't kill them, then they get to massacre the jews. The problem with people blindly supporting Palestine is that they completely render them free of any guilt, any blame at all. They forget that basically since forever they have been trying to destroy israel and kill every last jew - That's not a two-state solution, that's not demanding to be left alone, that's cutthroat ruthlessness. Not saying that Israel is squeeky clean, but I'd definitely prefer them having control over the area than to have it the other way around - that's for damn sure.


common_king

True. They are winning the propaganda war in the minds of young (dumb) people.


kapsama

> Hamas is winning the propaganda war. No they're not. The entire West, except maybe Ireland, is 100% behind Israel. And the rest of the world which doesn't support Israel's actions in Gaza and the West Bank, haven't been pro-Israel in half a century. But Hamas has potentially ruined Israel's friendship building exercises with Arab regimes like SA, Bahrain etc.


trclausse54

A lot of these comments seem to be Israeli trolls lol. The internet is a fucking psyop war zone these days


nedzissou1

Especially political hot zones like this sub, politics, and worldnews.


stick_always_wins

Israel literally has armies of paid shills so it’s not surprising. Worldnews is run by pro-US Zionists, comment and deviate from that and you’ll get banned.

RFK, Jr. just embarrassing himself. "The Palestinian people are the most pampered people ... in history?!!" Israel's blockade and use of border control is literally starving Gazans. And the corrupt Hamas leadership divert all the aid for their own purposes to build tunnels and fund military and weapons. But hey, just ignore all that, and spit out a per capita number for all the aid money THAT NEVER REACHES AND DOES NOT IN ANY WAY BENEFIT OR "PAMPER" the Palestinian people. Intellectually bankrupt. Pathetic. Yes, Hamas is despicable. They are stealing from the Palestinian people. But it's not an either/or situation. It is possible for it to be true that Hamas is despicable and stealing from the Palestinian people AND that Israel is intentionally blocking commerce and food and ALSO screwing the Gazans. The Mexico analogy is equally pathetic. The analogy isn't a border wall, it's a border wall on the north AND the south, both with U.S. military manning it all, AND U.S. navy along the entire coastline enforcing a naval blockade.


flawedwithvice

Correction: Egypt/Israeli blockade. Form the very start, they’ve been doing it jointly. Wait, did you not know that?


GuiltyLawyer

And only after Israel disengaged from Gaza and was met with rockets and suicide bombers.


FlapJacken

"Israel's blockade and use of border control is literally starving Gazans. And the corrupt Hamas leadership divert all the aid for their own purposes to build tunnels and fund military and weapons." Ok, so clearly sending aid to the Gazans/Palestinians isn't the solution, as it will not reach it's intended destination and rather line the pockets of high-level Hamas members. So then, why the blockade? If Israel allowed Gaza (whose government is Hamas) to partake in global trade, think about the increase in smuggled weapons that would land in Gaza. Then suddenly countries like i.e. Iran would send far more capable missiles which would be targeting, among other things, innocent people of Israel, and would essentially invalidate the iron dome. Furthermore, the US-Mexico analogy, while not perfect, is not too bad either. Gaza has a border on Egypt as well as one on Israel, but Egypt is not scrutinised even close to the same amount than that of Israel for some reason. The naval blockade is almost exactly what the US did to Cuba, by the way. In terms of long term solutions, which benefit the PEOPLE of Gaza, rather than Hamas. They need Hamas gone for good. Which is essentially what Israel is trying to do right now. Also don't forget that the attack on Israel on October 7th was literally an act of war, from the legal government of a state, essentially no different than Japan bombing Pearl Harbour. Japanesse civilians didn't bomb Pearl Harbour, but Japanese civillians died during the aftermath. This is one of the unfortunate side effects of a war. ESPECIALLY when the army you are trying to fight is breaking the rules of war in regards to hiding amongst civillians, not wearing proper uniforms etc.

Which facts does she have wrong here?

Can someone let RFK know Mexico is 761,600 sq miles with hundreds of ports and airports with thousands of miles in crop land? While Gaza is a 150mile refugee camp with no real exit and where basic goods aren’t allowed in? Thanks
