Israel’s defense minister announced that the Hamas militant group has started a war against Israel and pledged that "Israel will win.”
Following a security cabinet meeting at the Israeli military headquarters in Tel Aviv, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant warned that Hamas “made a grave mistake” in launching barrages of rockets into southern and central Israel in its surprise morning attack.
In one of the most serious escalations in years between Israel and the militant group that rules Gaza, Hamas gunmen crossed the border fence at several places and infiltrated Israeli communities.
This isn’t just rocket attacks. There are technicals driving throughout streets shooting civilians, hostages and houses burnt down. Reports of hundreds of people ariving at hospitals. Over 500 reported injured and 20 dead so far.
Not military targets. Not government facilities. People’s homes and communities.
So innocent people like the Palestinians regularly murdered by Isreal soldiers?
Those are horrific as well, but it’s simply not true that the IDF roams around Palestinian villages murdering every Palestinian they find, and you know that.
For starters, if they did, there wouldn’t be very many left.
This childish need to see one side as unequivocally good and the other bad must be discarded or people find themselves cheering for citizens to murdered while waiting for the bus, and if you’ve gotten to that point, something has gone deeply wrong.
Hamas mutilated a woman’s corpse then paraded it through the streets this morning. I’ve never even heard of Israel doing something remotely close.
Bust sure keep doing antisemitic whataboutism.
Israel doesn’t target civilians, nor fires indiscriminately. These are like the crazies that shoot up schools and concerts in the USA.
I think we can all agree that this is a bad thing and a lot of people will die, regardless of ideology or affiliation. Let’s all start there.
They will win and then there will finally be peace in the region, right?
Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate Israel.
When they stop hurting themselves in their confusion and sabotaging the peace process, then maybe a peace will come. Right now, as it stands, they couldn’t care less for their own self determination, success, livelihood, existence etc. Nothing they do now will accomplish anything.
“started a war”
That’s rich.
