Isn’t it better for the IDF/Israel if they don’t catch him since hunting him down is just about the only justifiable part of this whole war? If they catch him the pressure to stop the war will just increase, but if he’s still out there they can use that as a reason to continue their genocide.
How short would the war in Afganistan be if the US didn’t bomb everything to shit in the opening months and instead gathered Intel and sent in a special forces unit to take Bin Laden down? But if they did that then how would the Military Industrial Complex get their billions.
I know I’m being a bit of a conspiracy nut now but it’s just too convenient, isn’t it?
The whole rape narrative is just a way to push local politicians into unquestioning support of Israel. A way to dehumanize Palestinians by painting with a broad brush. Ironically these “left leaning” outlets pushing this narrative are doing EXACTLY what Trump did by calling Mexicans murderers and rapists.
Yes, but he had already thrown his weapon away and had his hands in the air surrendering. We shouldn't be killing all bad guys once they've surrendered either.
The good guy with a gun, even without possessing the gun, and verbally surrendering while on their knees with their arms above head begging for their life can easily be shot by state forces.
Let’s not make it seem like this was a little “oopsy woopsy I couldn’t tell he wasn’t a terrorist” situation.
@altofaltception this is partly what I had envisioned, more eyes on recent settler violence due to the war leading to pressure to hopefully have them dealt with permanently.
Does this mean the hospital was complicit in the abduction of Israeli hostages from October 7th? If this is true, my god some people have some questions to answer.
The people on the ground at the hospital did not take hostages. Hamas did, and uses the hospital as a base. No one involved in the running of the hospital gets a say in what Hamas does.
They are both the government and murderous terrorists, so whatever they wanna do, they’re gonna do
I can imagine that some of the complicity started with benign motives. You’re an NGO wanting to do good things for the people of Gaza? You learn and obey Hamas rules. But since you don’t want to admit that you are obeying Hamas rules - you get drawn into endorsing Hamas lies. Nonetheless, by not saying anything about the hostages for a month you are complicate in their capture and your organization is as well.
Then there are those that doubt the veracity of Israeli and US Intelligence saying that the hospital was a control point. Of course it was, and those that watched Hamas walk into the door knew it.
If a terrorist is holding hostages near you and the terrorist says if you tell anyone about it they’ll kill you, or the hostages, then you are also being held hostage, you can just move around more than the other hostages.
Sure fear can play a role, but there was more than compliance to Hamas. They told the press, some of who knew better, that they never seen Hamas or hostages. They took an active role.
You know, the other day I was in the hospital and there was a visibly pregnant woman outside who was smoking. I went up to the front desk and demanded to know why the hospital was condoning that behavior. The person at the desk reacted in complete confusion. So I continued on, asking why the multinational conglomerate that owned the hospital was requiring pregnant mothers to smoke. As I was being escorted out by security, the smoking woman was gone, but they all knew who I was talking about.
Yes, let’s attack the ONLY humanitarian agency that tries to do some good so their shitty opinions of Israel’s behaviour towards Palestinian civilians, patients, journalists and aid workers isn’t so highlighted in the world press anymore.
Oh shut up with your insinuations. If a guy with a gun tells you to treat someone, you do it. As if Palestinians have gotten another choice by Israeli governance. You act as if these people were free before the attacks lol. As if they were living in the land of milk and honey, as if their opinions mattered…
As long as Hamas still has any hostages and is talking about how Israel/Jews must be eliminated (good luck changing their minds!), nobody will look weak.
While the characterization isn’t entirely true, the generally accepted policy is to kill terrorists, not give them concessions after murdering and kidnapping people.
It’s truly bizarre how the world holds Israel to an imposssible ethical standard, while Hamas may be the least ethical organization on the planet and people are cool with that.
If dead Palestinian Gazan babies upset you more than dead Jewish babies, Arab Druze Babies, Muslim Bedouin Babies, Ethiopian Falasha Babies, African Guest Worker babies … all of whom HAMAS executed by hand on 10-7. Reevaluate your life.
I respect peace activists who march to stop ALL deaths of children.
I think it’s just lemmy. I’ve been browsing reddit more because sadly lemmy seems to have a rather extreme pro-Palestine bias, whereas reddit has a slight pro-Israel bias.
That’s why is pragmatic to leave none left. Not saying it’s good or right, just that from a pure strategy standpoint it makes sense what they’re doing.
Just saying it’s pragmatic given the various parties goals.
This whole thing is horrible, and has been horrible for a long time. It’s clear now peaceful coexisting is not an option. Only one of these two has the ability to permanently end the conflict.
