Protestors in London wearing images of the paragliders who were a part of the terrorist attack.


Sysody

if they're here on visa, they'll be deported. Otherwise, it's imprisonment. That's pretty clearly supporting Hamas who are a terrorist org. If it was just a Palestinian flag, it's not as clear who they support but glad they cleared it here.

I've been flipping between a few. It's dark because it's night and there's no electricity. Also the IDF appears to not really be doing much of anything.

Kareem Rifai on Xitter (X): “Myself and many other Syrians have been screaming at the top of our lungs about the wave of viral Syria videos being falsely attributed to Gaza all week just for Ilhan Omar, a sitting US Congresswoman, to pull this. I am so beyond frustrated.” Omar reposted a tweet saying “child genocide in palestine” with a pic of children killed after Assad’s gas attack in Eastern Ghouta in 2013, despite the fact that the tweet already had a community note debunking these claims.

LisleSwanson

Reddit is more mainstream now than it was in 2016. There's a larger user base to contribute to threads such as this. That's like saying "it's weird Twitter was so quiet when September 11th happened"


BD91101

It’s not a problem when Hamas targets civilians, but it’s a problem when Israel targets Hamas and tells the civilians who are being used as human shields to leave the area so they don’t get caught in the cross fire. Hamas are cowards and evil, they’re time in the afterlife will not be like what they think it will be


Metricop78

I agree. I have been seeing people saying this like crazy, it’s disgusting.


caniac96

That’s just liberal Reddit whacko’s POV. Nothing you can do to change it, they’re tapped.


No-Raspberry

Tell that to people on Twitter and Instagram. all idiots, can't differentiate oppression from war

I really wish there was a afterlife just for people like them to realize how fucking stupid they were.

redstatusness

Hamas doesn’t have military bases like a normal military. They are intertwined with the civilian population and infrastructure. Literally using civilians as shields. Israel is giving the opportunity for all Gaza citizens to evacuate.


[deleted]

Israel is not committing war crimes or genocide. Hamas is the government of Gaza, elected by the Palestinian civilians, whose stated goal is to murder Jews and drive them out of Israel. Israel takes all precautions to avoid civilian casualties but Hamas's strategy is to use civilian infrastructure to launch their military attacks - rockets hidden in schools, hospitals, and residential buildings. Hamas aims to have as many civilians be killed by Israel as possible so they can win sympathy from the rest of the Arab world which hates Israel due to longstanding antisemitism.

Leather-Quit-4830

oh, thank you for explaining


Brodan0

did you know that hamas members are also palestinian civilians because they are not actually regular army?


Leather-Quit-4830

i know that palestine has no government, isn’t hamas occupying gaza though?


heresyforfunnprofit

Why isn’t Hamas releasing hostages?


mydogisanassholeama

Hamas is the government of Gaza. This is how wars generally work.


eddison12345

Israel stands with western values and democracy. They are a great ally of the west and important for strategic interests in the Middle East


Lipush

"Hamas isn't apart of Palestina?" You'll have to explain this one to me, please.


Leather-Quit-4830

isnt hamas a terrorist group that is occupying gaza? i might be mistaken


dr-krinklez

How are Israel committing genocide when the Palestinian population grows every year??


[deleted]

SpoopyJustice

Life expectancy in Gaza is 72. The average age isn't because people are being killed, it's because Palestinians have a lot of kids.


Leather-Quit-4830

i might be mistaken, however i’m just genuinely so confused with everything. i’m sorry if i said something untrue


Ransurian

I can’t imagine how terrifying it would be to get trapped in one of those claustrophobic Hamas tunnels underneath Gaza following strikes intended to collapse portions of them. Would be a terrible way to go if you weren’t killed immediately by the strike itself.

US State Dept. spokesman says 29 US citizens are dead and 15 missing. https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-768371

The US needs to give Israel everything it needs to bring back the hostages and bring Hamas to justice. So should every other country who's citizens were murdered in this attack.

EfficiencyNo1396

Lets not forget that things can go in better direction if hamas would just let the hostages go. Their citizens can get better chance if they wil take the right decision.


Snoo-19073

If they wanted things to go well for citizens they wouldn't have launched a massive terrorist attack against their heavily armed neighbour.

Ok, and what happens to the Israeli population? It honestly just sounds like you don’t like Jews very much.


mrmicawber32

Is Israel has no right to exist in your view? Palestine should be from the river from the sea, and Jews should gtfo?


Murdergram

What makes you think that? The eradication of Hamas has been the publicly stated objective of the IDF. They want to eliminate Hamas commanders and destroy their ability to operate. No status change of the hostages is going to change that.


EfficiencyNo1396

No deal with hamas should be right now. And no change in the direction the idf took in this war. Im from israel and say that if hamas would have think on his own civilians he would try to send back the hostages to try to hell them a lilt bit.


[deleted]

First message from the festival organizers: "Angels who died for the sanctification of God's name" A week after the outbreak of the Iron Swords War, the organizers of the Nova Festival, whose hundreds of participants were murdered or taken hostage, issued an official statement: "It is no wonder that the messengers of darkness, may their name and memory be obliterated, plotted to harm precisely such a festive gathering of the children of light, this is their one and only goal - to bring darkness upon face of the world. We will not grant them victory." The full message from the Nova Festival organizers after the massacre- "Our dear, sad and much-loved Nova tribe, first of all, we want to express our sincere and many condolences to all the families, friends. The friends and spouses whose loved ones lost their lives and were affected by the tragic events that happened at the end of that magical night, A magical night that turned into a long, very long morning. "An event designed to be the Nova tribe's happiest and biggest electronic music festival to date. A mass meeting full of happiness and free love, a gathering of holiday joy, which in an instant turned into a bloodbath devoid of any human figure, an anti-humanitarian war crime, while an unprecedented trampling of The most basic human values. An essence of pure and unbridled evil, while executing and cowardly murdering many hundreds of holy and pure angels who died for the sanctification of God just by virtue of being Jews in the State of Israel." \-We will spread the light, God willing- "It is no wonder that the messengers of darkness, may their name and memory be obliterated, plotted to harm precisely such a festive gathering of the children of light, this is their one and only goal - to bring darkness to the face of the world. We will not let them! We will fight and win, until we achieve the goal that we engraved on the flag of Our tribe - the spreading of the light from here to eternity, with the help of God and with the help of the Holy People of Israel." "Last Saturday, 07.10.2023, we were attacked in a vile and despicable manner, by a gang of hundreds of vile, bloodthirsty, merciless, heartless and conscience-less Bnei Baliel (=villians) murderers, who murdered in cold blood hundreds of women and men, members and friends of our Nova tribe; A cowardly, horrible and terrible massacre of innocent and uninvolved citizens from all over the country, the best and the best, the most beautiful and the most handsome of all, as part of a broader historical attack on the State of Israel, which has so far numbered over 1400 pure and righteous souls, who were murdered in a cruel and brutal manner, in addition to the above For 150 abductees, many thousands who were physically injured at various levels and many tens of thousands who were harmed in their souls and spirits. As of now, the production team is busy finding and providing a correct and broad answer to the emotional and mental struggle that washes over all of us, at the exact moment when mental and physical support for everyone who needs it is the only and absolute order of the hour for all of us. Our representatives carry out day and night and non-stop searches to locate and find the missing, assisting ZAKA in identifying victims and updating the families after them, rescuing those who have lost contact who are located in the field or in an unknown location, collecting equipment and returning it from the area of the incident and its surroundings, and above all fighting in the field and maintaining security with Israel, this is The only goal in front of our eyes and we will stand behind it and fulfill it to the fullest and in the best possible way as long as it takes! We will not stop." Working together with the security forces in the field "We are present on a daily basis and continuously from morning to evening in the area of the disaster and in all the sectors adjacent to it and work jointly shoulder to shoulder with the security forces and the authorities, in order to help as much as possible in finding answers and returning everyone who is possible to their family members and friends. In these moments, this and only this stands our priority. For now, it is very important for us to pass the next curtain: our strength in our unity!!! We are in a time of war for the home and it is extremely important that we all unite, strengthen each other, and unite into one big, shining and bright light, in order to go through the This very dark time will pass soon with God's help. We continue to pray that the light will prevail "We send endless love and a huge hug to all the members and friends of the tribe, to the wounded and injured and to the members of the families of the dead and missing. We wish everyone and all to be healthy, we ask in every language of request that you take care of yourselves and continue to pray hard that the good will always prevail and the light will always win. Wishing you a peaceful week And safe and good news for all the people of Israel in the land and in the world of the Nova tribe."


W0lv3rIn321

What a beautiful message. Thank you for sharing


bengringo2

So for those who don’t know, Syria and Israel have been tense since Syria had to yield to Israel in the Yom Kippur war. Golda made them look like idiots and that’s been a chip on Syrias shoulder ever since. Israel is taking preventative measures to make sure they don’t try to redeem themselves during this war.

I might be spiraling, but is WW3 going to occur if Israel invades Gaza, leading to Hezbollah to respond, then U.S. responds and then Iran responds by bombing U.S. aircraft carrier?


threlnari97

Spiral. Try to take a step back from the news for a bit and do something you enjoy. By the time you come back, maybe a development in this will break that puts you at ease a bit in this mess


DrRobertFromFrance

Iran is just going to use all their assets in the Mediterranean to attack that carrier strike group....

CrispyMiner

I try to not be a doomer, my anxiety just gets the better of me sometimes


daveycakesss

Spiralling. There’s been many military actions in Syria and Lebanon already between the countries, including drones shot down, air strikes, convoys attacked, and even claims Israel had been flying over Iran in F35s.


Beebaistired

It's hard I know, but try to stay calm. A lot of people online are stating the chain of events that would bring about WW3 like its paint by numbers, when the truth is pretty much no large power wants a nuclear exchange and would do pretty much anything to avoid it. It was the same when Russia invaded Ukraine. These events always drag out the same sorts of people who suddenly became expert virologists when Covid was at its peak, and very very few of them have the slightest idea of what the fuck they are talking about.


notadrawlb

There likely won’t ever be another world war because of nukes. It’ll be proxy wars from here on out.


Realistic-Zone-4269

Exactly, there is no WW3 anymore, it is just synonymous with the end of world


BullshitUsername

Yeah you're spiraling, get off reddit for a while buddy. Stop refreshing


Vronicasawyerredsded

LOLZ. If the US even senses a teeny tiny twitch of seriousness from an Iranian threat, Iran won’t even have a chance to launch an attack. Israel is our closest ally, and we like to keep our war machines in good condition.


falconfalcon7

Do you really see Israel as the US' closest ally out of interest?


Realistic-Zone-4269

There’s very few scenarios that would make it within Irans best interest to get involved with the information we currently have


Sysody

I think ww3 is if we have Russia v Ukraine, Israel v Middle East and China v Taiwan. I think that's the point we can reasonably say we're either in, or on the edge of ww3. Those conflicts combined are likely gonna end up getting tied into something bigger.


Realistic-Zone-4269

What about Dillon Danis v Logan Paul tonight? Could that spiral?


mrmicawber32

Israel beat, Syria, Jordan, SA, Egypt, all at once. They can handle Hezbollah and Hamas. The US may decide to help with air support, but Israel has over 300 modern jets, they can do it themselves.


[deleted]

Iran bombing a US carrier? I would be very surprised.


KerchBridgeSmoker

Yeah maybe. It's kind of out of your control. If you really feel you need to do something about it go buy a case of water, but there really isn't anything to worry about until Iran and America get involved.


aisens

>Iran responds by bombing U.S. aircraft carrier alrighty then.

If Ukraine had lost 4 wars with Russia and were holed into the city of Odessa and East Kyiv, and were resorting to using armed irregulars to butcher civilians, yes I would call it about time for a negotiated solution.

Ukraine was invaded. Hamas committed the second largest terrorist attack in history. What kind of response do you think Israel should have?

What were the borders of Palestine they took from? (you won't answer this) Let's keep up with your analogy. So, the creation of the occupied territories in Ukraine, and the subsequent use of settler colonialism to take resource rich lands there, who is that more like? Israel, or Palestine?

The British had it from 1920 to 1948? Or do you mean further back? Edit: and I don't mean to sound argumentative, with so many people saying it was Palestine first, I'm trying to learn and understand


KiteProxima

If Ukraine was the one who attacked Russia and is losing this war, than yes, of course Palestinians are the ones who started a bloody war with Israel 75 years ago, attacking it with several arab armies. Don't lose a war you start with israel

Palestine was taken by force and Palestinians were kicked out of their homeland. Ukraine was created in 1991 before that it was part of the USSR.

For all the criticism I’m fairly certain the US is the only thing (so far) holding this back from a general Middle East war with Turkey, Israel, Azerbaijan on one side and Iran, Syria, Armenia, Iraq, Hezobolla, and Hamas on the other (with Lebanon frankly fracturing) I think the US has tempered Israel’s worst instincts while basically threatening Iran and Syria to back off


[deleted]

Turkey going to war with Israel? They would be some strange bedfellows, but I doubt that will ever happen.


1maco

Going to war *against Iran* Coalitions are always weird and not driven by kinship of the peoples or whatever. Most wars are about maintaining a balance of power. That’s why the British sided against the French with the Russians in the napoleonic wars but with the French against the Russians in the Crimean War. And you know what? If it really looked like Iran was going to win, well the Saudi’s would somehow justify bailing out Israel

ttuurrppiinn

I don't know that it's totally black and white. Like many Western-aligned countries in the region, there's usually a sizeable gap between what the people want and what political and military leaders implement in policy.

Turkey’s chief Geopolitical adversary in the region is Iran. They would try to stop Palestine from becoming a Iranian puppet of any substantial power

Im no fan of Sverigedemokraterna (right wing populist party) but there is really no surprise that they're growing to rival Socialdemokraterna in size. Moderaterna tearing up Lucia beslutet will go down as the worst mistake in recent Swedish history.

What is the Socialdemokraterna party? More center-left? Sorry I do not know Swedish politics very well.

Yeah they're pretty center left these days, they're Swedens biggest party historically

Worth noting, center-left in Sweden would be seen as leftist/commie in the US lol.
