Middle East Conflict

[The blue phantom]

You wont have gone far enough for some people, if you criticise Hamas for anything you'll be marked as a shill.

So is the barmpot situation as it is now ;)

Hamas deserve to be criticised for this. As do the Israeli goverment for their Murder of Palestinians and land theft. It's never going to stop with countless thousands likely too keep dying.

The hostages are only useful for prison exchanges or human shields. So they are likely to be well treated.

Wouldn't put it past Israel to kill their own to prevent their capture and the political humiliation of having to let hundreds of Palestinian militants go free again. As they've reportedly done in the past.

They are more likely to execute them on camera like the children they beheaded on camera today. This whole attack is to generate rage and goad a response from Israel and create a wider war to increase support for themselves.

Unfortunately for Palestine I imagine Hamas has fucked them and Israel is going to respond now with dwindling international sympathy.

Yup, only problem is that between the Hamas leadership and the Israelis a lot of people are going to die for a cause that they wont themselves fight in.

There isn't a solution to this that will keep any side happy unfortunately, so sadly we should expect more death.

You need to get your head out of your arse.

“it’s easy for right wing middle classes to have zero empathy” - yeah it is actually easy to have zero empathy when they launch thousands of rockets indiscriminately into civilian areas, murder civilians in cold blood, take civilians as hostages at gunpoint and call for all Muslims to attack Jewish targets all around the world.

Do you think the people doing this or those funding them have any interest at all in a negotiated settlement?

Absolute horsehit.

The end result is pretty simple tbh. They just want the stolen land back or the slaying will continue for another 100+ years. Unfortunately its never going to happen so the shitshow Will continue.

Sounds all too familiar.

Netanyahu’s brother was a special forces commander who died freeing hostages in the raid on Entebe. Jonatan’s legacy helped helped to propel Benjamin’s career. The Israeli’s will want their hostages back alive.

‘Using hostages as human shields is treating them well.’

‘Isreal are going to kill their own hostages.’

Absolutely staggering.

Some of them are already dead sadly. The Arabs don’t want peace, they don’t want land which they think is theirs, they want the total destruction of the Israeli state and all Jews over the world.

Oh god is there another war there. Glad I dont do the news anymore, the whole lot of them are frustrating and I dont even care who started it, its just kill kill kill from both sides.

I totally agree and whilst some on here will slag each other off, trading insults etc we should remember that innocent people, especially innocent children are dying.
The world has ignored the problem for too long and certain countries encouraged Israel instead of condoning them, now children die.
