On Monday, Israeli reservists were preparing explosives to demolish two buildings in central Gaza on when a militant fired a rocket-propelled grenade at a tank nearby. The blast triggered the explosives, causing both two-story buildings to collapse on the soldiers inside.

    More lives to fuel the agenda of Benjamin Netanyahu and some Hamas leader who wouldn’t blink an eye ripping off people’s heads.

    Why don’t we let the power hungry bastards duke it out in an arena and let the common folk watch?

      I’ve said since October, eminent domain Wyoming, and build a fence. Capture the leaders of Hamas and IDF and airdrop them into Wyoming (randomly) with no equipment. They can come back out once they manage to get along with each other. If that never happens, they can starve.

      Wyoming because it only has 500,000 people so it would be the easiest state to empty.

      To be fair, Israel did escalate the situation many fold, and they refuse a 2 state solution.
      Also Israel has done very little to improve conditions or amend the situation in the Gaza strip for decades. Gaza strip is essentially a mass koncentration camp Israel has made for Palestinians.
      For Israel to expect zero retaliation for that is insane. But as soon as Palestinians do anything, Israel is very quick to propagandize around it, to defend further oppression against the Palestinians.
      So my empathy for Israel losses are limited.

        To be fair this isn’t just a Palestinian retaliation… It’s a Hamas retaliation. Even most Palestinians don’t want Hamas to be in charge. They’re stuck in the middle and suffer the most while extremist Israel and extremist terrorist group Hamas play war.

    The world would be a better place if Zionists were treated like Nazis.

    They believe “Jews belong here” just like Nazis believed “Aryans belong here.”

    Why is there no kind of information on how many Hamas operatives have been killed in this war? Is this because there’s no way to tell them from civilians? Does Hamas itself even know?

      Netanyahu said he would need at least until 2025 to defeat Hamas, probably more. It’s unlikely the IDF has made much progress so far.

      Is this because there’s no way to tell them from civilians?

      Probably that. And Israel, the only ones who might have a shot at it, are saying nonsense numbers to make themselves look better to anyone dumb enough to believe them.

        What!?! Surely this must be a lie, it’s not like the IDF has been known to list days of the week as people’s names.
