Well this is awkward.

I think they chucked the poor fella off a rooftop. But to be fair to the pro-Hamas contingent on here they did say they wouldn't throw lgbtq off buildings anymore.

There are no tall buildings left.

 

Maybe they thew him off a low building several times to get a similar effect.

I like how they keep records though, a sign that Hamas Civil Service is still functioning.

I was aware of that from Haaretz but didn't include it because the source was the IDF, not an independent NGO or journalist. The IDF in recent months have regularly made ridiculous and easily disproven claims. With this specific case, we're to believe that a Hamas member being held captive and tortured was given a pen and paper in his cell so he could write a diary. We're to believe that in this diary, he wrote completely irrelevant details to his predicament, details which help reinforce Israel's narrative for what its currently doing in Gaza. We're told he wrote that the Hamas tunnels weren't damaged by the 2014 Israeli bombardment and were still intact. Well destroying the tunnels is one of the "military objectives" Israel has claimed justifies its current actions.

Even if we do accept the information as authentic, it claims the murdered Hamas member had multiple accusations against him by the leadership. Supposedly he was accused of stealing money, stealing weapons, attending swingers parties with his wife, as well having sex with a male neighbour. Then the claimed primary accusation against him was that he was collaborating with Israel. So that doesn't even confirm he was murdered due to his being gay.

Regardless, the original suggestion I replied to above was that Hamas murder random gay civilians in Gaza. This man wasn't a random civilian, he was high up in the militant wing of Hamas.

The stuff you put about LGBT people being murdered by being thrown from rooftops. That was done by ISIS in Iraq and Syria. If you struggle with the concept of different peoples and places then just focus on the names and notice that they differ, that might help you.

Loving the idea that Israeli journalists are currently dodging air strikes against schools, hospitals and refugee camps in enemy territory to *checks notes* clarify whether Hamas committed a homophobic murder years ago.

Apply even one fucking ounce of critical thinking please. 🤡

Israel's largest selling liberal newspaper is anti-semitic shite, seems like something a massive crank would say.

200 Palestinians murdered by the IDF at the same time. 

274.  But that’s less than 70 Palestinians for each Israeli, way below the current exchange rate.

Having just read an article on the BBC website it would appear there were  “intense gun battles” during the operation to free the hostages.

Do the more knowledgeable posters on here think Israel can realistically achieve its aim of militarily destroying Hamas as a fighting force or will there ultimately need to be some sort of negotiated settlement?  

In short how is this all likely to play out?

There will be peace in the Middle East when two of the world's major religions come to their senses.

Given that, and all other things being equal, the fighting will stop in approximately 7.59 billion years when the sun expands and destroys the Earth.

No. The current IDF action is simply ensuring another cycle of violence by effectively recruiting the next generation of Hamas.

I can't imagine that the current generation of kids, traumatised by seeing their home razed to the ground and innocent friends/family slaughtered, will grow up to be anything other than well-adjusted and entirely subservient to Israel.

Anyone know which areas are most likely to be used for transplanted settlers?

Benny Gantz resigning from the coalition government. Apparently he’s a moderate centrist so that should increase the influence of the more right wing ministers who don’t want a ceasefire.

I’m not being ironic when I say that it’s like Orwell’s 1984.

A leader like Netanyahu needs Hamas.

I’m sure anyone referencing the extent of the Zionist lobby in the USA would be called an antisemitist but this is absolutely frightening, more so because of the bipartisan nature of their distributions.

I think the idea that the current generation of Gaza's children will grow up is wildly optimistic.
