They've already killed more Palestinian civilians than Russians did Ukrainian civilians. In one month.

I'm not sure what they gained, they have two opponents (GOP and MAGA) and empowered the more radical of the two. I think thia would be more obvious in a parliamentary system.
I think their rational, as it was with trump in 2016, is that extreme republicans in power bulster democratic support. I think it's an open question if that's correct, or if they are assisting the rightward slide of american politics and not getting much of what they promised done.
They're totally out of touch, and expected a 9/11 like bloodlust. But 22 years is a long time, and the internet is able to disrupt the manufacturing of consent for genocide.
SmartTubeNext used to work, not sure if it still does
At this point, everyone should invest a fraction of that into automating youtube downloads. No ads, no buffering, and $200 will get you eniugh hard drive space for years.
A few hostages vs killing hundreds of children. Wonder why there is a discrepancy, also, what is a moral compas?
Don't you see how your knee jerk defense of anything Israel does as encouraging them to do war crimes?
I swear, you lot would defend nukes if there was a 50/50 shot of getting a child of a hamas member.
If one side can turn off the other sides water and communications at will...it's not a war. Hamas is a fractured and opportunistic militia, without enough sovereignty to actually govern.
To also highlight, half of Palestinians are undrr 20 years old, so at most 4 years old when Hamas was elected. Hamas supporters also represented about 45% of the votes, compared to the 42% voting for the progressive party. They spoke for half of a mostly dead generation, and have since been left holding the bag as the only defense force as palestine is fractured by illegal settlments and bombed to hell.
Why not? Shame is good for bad behavior
I really struggle to see what leverage Hamas gains by fudging their numbers. It feels like a talking point to reduce the fatality count.
This number, half this number, quarter this number... the political reality is the same. Murmurs of condemnation while the US keeps the money pump going, Israel keeps commiting war crimes, and Palestine shrinks into nothing.
I agree, but it takes less than 10 min and is more impactful than lemmy posts
Even as a joke, please don't conflate israel with Judaism. It is not like the Vatican, it is an evil government trying to hide behind real antisemitism.
