I honestly just don't get it. Seems like an obvious thing. If Israel did this, they'd condemn them and probably seek prosecution.

There's a different standard for Jews in the international community.

It’s has been mentioned before, but bears repeating:

The UN is basically FIBA or the IOC.

I suspect that a fuckton of oil money from Arab states to the UN, and an appeasement of radical Islam by the UN, for obvious reasons, is making a mockery of the UN as a serious body of arbitration. (See also: Russia, China, India, Turkey, etc.)

When Canada suggested this amendment be added to a UN resolution about Israel (titled
Illegal Israeli actions in Occupied East Jerusalem and the rest of the Occupied Palestinian Territory, subsection of Protection of civilians and upholding legal and humanitarian obligations), they didn’t get the votes.

Unequivocally rejects and condemns the terrorist attacks by Hamas that took
place in Israel starting on 7 October 2023 and the taking of hostages, demands the
safety, well-being and humane treatment of the hostages in compliance with
international law, and calls for their immediate and unconditional release;

Instead they went with this…

…

Expressing grave concern at the latest escalation of violence since the 7 October
2023 attack and the grave deterioration of the situation in the region, in particular in
the Gaza Strip and the rest of the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East
Jerusalem, and in Israel,

Condemning all acts of violence aimed at Palestinian and Israeli civilians,
including all acts of terrorism and indiscriminate attacks, as well as all acts of
provocation, incitement and destruction,

Recently, the Muslim nation of Azerbaijan expelled from their territory about a hundred thousand citizens because they were not Muslims. For some reason, this didn't make many headlines . . .

What are the possible outcomes in that part of the world?

Will it escalate to a full-blown war? Tanks, planes, drones, missiles, soldiers from Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, even Pakistan and Afghanistan on the march, cities burning and refugees fleeing as ethnic hatreds blossom into combat on a dozen different fronts?

Will everyone back down after exhaustion sets in and some temporary resolution is reached? Iran confronting growing domestic unrest, Syria too busy coping with refugees to keep fighting, the hostages rescued from Gaza (or murdered), the Turks running out of money for their occupation forces, Egypt struggling to afford to subsidize bread prices for their teeming millions, Israel's government calling new elections . . .

Will Iran finally build a nuke and set it off, vaporizing Jerusalem or Tel Aviv, provoking a response in kind and leaving the Middle East uninhabitable for decades?

Will the Palestinians relinquish their claims for a caliphate and evacuate Gaza and the West Bank as the Nazis fled from East Prussia after World War II?

Will Israel collapse as suicide terrorism and endless barrages of conventional missiles overwhelm their defenses and devastate their cities, factories and farms, enemy soldiers sweeping in and exterminating the survivors in a second Holocaust?

Will the conflict spill out to the wider world? Pakistan or Turkey destabilized, leading to conflicts over Kashmir or Cyprus, Chinese or Russian shipping targeted by Houthi missiles in the Red Sea, oil supplies disrupted leading to an economic crisis and unrest everywhere, conflict over Taiwan or the Koreas begun by madmen hoping the rest of the world is too distracted to respond?

Or will everything just eventually go back to the "normal" of October 6, leaving everyone waiting for the next atrocity?

Or … the Islamic regime in Iran is overthrown by an internal revolution. Hamas and Hezbollah collapse because their leadership has been eliminated and they no longer have Iran’s backing, Lebanon and the new government of Iran sign peace treaties with Israel.

I worry that Hamas might execute the remaining hostages out of spite if the IDF can’t get to them in time, but otherwise prospects are looking good for peace in the Middle East.

As much as I would love to see that happen, I think it’s a bit of a pipe dream. Men have had their way for too long in that part of the country. Women try to resist and they’re murdered—probably by their own families. The woman that was killed while in custody for refusing to wear a head scarf is just one example.

The main reason that Hamas is possibly collapsing is because they’ve been bombed into the Stone Age—along with a lot of innocent women and children. Gaza is now the surface of the moon where Tel Aviv continues to build. They have state of the art medical facilities—some makeshift ERs in garages, but it’s light years ahead of what the Gazans have.

If any peace treaties are signed by Hamas and Israel, it’ll be because there’s nobody left to make up Hamas. It’ll be more like a surrender—much like Japan after we nuked them—then Israel can move in and start making Gaza into another Israeli “settlement.”

I worry that Hamas might execute the remaining hostages out of spite if the IDF can’t get to them in time, but otherwise prospects are looking good for peace in the Middle East.

Hostages, schmostages—Bibi has to “defend” Israel by invading the surrounding countries. That’s more important now. I’m sure you’ve noticed that nothing has been said about the whereabouts and wellbeing of the hostages since Israel started blowing up personal electronics and rolling tanks.

I’m guessing that the longer Netanyahu takes to “negotiate” getting the hostages out, the more reports you’re going to see of the recovery of dead hostages. It could be from starvation, or a rocket attack on a civilian target, or more “oops, we thought you were a terrorist” accidental deaths. Israel will use it as justification to continue in “defending themselves” from evil Hamas.

This thread will be updates related to the war between Hamas and Israel. The other thread on the topic was focused on Biden's foreign policies. This is related to political and military happenings by those involved as well as reaction from the International community.

Starting off, the immediate actions of Israel against Hamas. (I support the destruction of Hamas)

One year. It’s been one year since Hamas broke the ceasefire and invaded Israel, killing, raping, and taking hostages.

Over 100 innocents are still being held. Hamas won’t even let the Red Cross visit them to check on their wellbeing. Hopefully the IDF will rescue them before Hamas executes them.

Bring them home!

Am Yisrael Chai!

Iran is the problem. At least five Presidents have promised the Iranians would never get a nuclear weapon, except Joe Biden. By being weak on Iran, giving them billions upon billions, and not enforcing American sanctions, Joe Biden has funded this war against Israel. The bottom line is if Joe won't do it, Israel will have to go after Iran's nuclear infrastructure in order to survive as a nation.

I know that reading is hard—I didn’t type 4.5 MILLION, you idiot. I don’t even know if there’s 4.5M left in Gaza you hateful ass.

First off, I said approximately—I rounded up on both numbers, because you know that it’s going to reach that soon.

From one news report. Try doing something other than watching Faux News all day, or having your device read the gateway dumbshit to you.

Here’s another report…

Keep that in mind when you cite numbers from the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health.

No dirtbag I said 4 and a 1/2 million I would like to see 4 and a 1/2 million of them dead.And you're getting your numbers from the terrorists themselves.Why do you believe it

I see, so you’re actually admitting that you’re a homocidal maniac. Good to know, you bigoted asshole.

I always suspected as much.

And I am left to wonder just how many non-Hamas affiliated Palestinians were killed by Hamas for evacuating when the Israelis gave advance warning of an attack on a Hamas target and other "transgressions" against Hamas (like trying to access the humanitarian aid being delivered)???

So if we can’t believe the Gaza Ministry of Health, but we ARE supposed to believe the JNS—who gets their figures from the IDF? Right. They start their piece with “Hamas is privately admitting…”??? That sounds like Trump and his “people are saying” bullshit.

Hamas is privately admitting that 80% of the Palestinians killed during the year-long war in Gaza are Hamas members or their families, Israel’s Channel 12 reported on Sunday.

Even by their own numbers in your linked article, the IDF reports that 17,000 combatants have been killed. According to a LOT of the news footage I’ve seen coming out of Gaza, I’m seeing children—babies—dying from shrapnel and bullet wounds. So they must be part of that 17,000, yes?

I don’t think anyone is ever going to know the true number of the dead in Gaza unless they start digging them up to take a complete census.
