Where did everyone go? I’ve been busy.
Anyway, from cursory reading:
1) Israel has attempted peace talks in 93, 95, 00, 07, 09 and very briefly in 2020. The PLO and then Hamas rejected it every time.
2) Hamas rules over the Palestinian people. Most Palestinians do not like Hamas because Hamas treats them like collateral damage and pawns to a greater purpose. Hamas is not allowing them to leave.
3) Hamas firmly believes that Israel and the Jewish people should be eradicated. They are analogous to Nazis.
4) Hamas killed 1400 innocent Jews on 10/7 in horrific fashion.
5) Hamas has spent the last two years taking all the Iran-money and aid meant for their people and used it to plan this attack (this is from their leadership).
6) Turning off the water is effective because Hamas took the water pipes meant for their infrastructure and used it to build rockets.
7) A hospital parking lot was bombed and 10-50 people died. Both sides contradict but the US says it was a Palenstine Jihad group and Hamas has already been caught in death toll, nature and location lies.
Various western media outlets TRUSTED Hamas blindly. A terrorist group without fact checking whatsoever.
9) Hamas is holding 200 or so hostages.
Yes, Israel has not been perfect at all but holy fuck what the hell is wrong with the left right now? Like, Resetera especially is implicitly trusting and seemingly siding with Hamas despite them being a terrorist group and functionally believing in trans-genocide as a creed.
Tell me what I’m missing?
