It took them nine months to finally target a “Hamas leader”, and they assassinate a political, not military, leader after butchering every single family member of his beforehand.

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un.

So they killed one of the negotiators, and who is considered moderate and more diplomatic.

I wonder how the relatives of the hostages still held in Gaza feel about it. Israel is doing everything possible to hijack the ceasefire negotiations process.

I'd say get another hobby, but I'm addicted to scrolling Lemmy

I love the idea that half the people in this thread don't understand that 2 things can be bad at once.

You don't have to fellate Hamas to see Israel is genociding.

Also, dismissing Hamas as lame terrorists doesn't mean one is a "Zionist" or whatever the ascribed insult is this week.

The trouble with killing the people who say the propaganda is you eventually end with the people who believe the propganda in charge. This was a consistent takeaway from the war on terror. If Israel were looking to prolong the war, taking out the relative moderates would probably help.

It seems obvious that Netanyahu does not want peace. This war is the only thing keeping him in power. There is no incentive for him to seek peace.

And he's very likely going to jail once he leaves office, so he has even more reason than most to cling on.

It's always been about his survival.

[-] Xeroxchasechase@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Not "Israel " but Netanyahu and the religious extreamist. Israel wants to release all the hostages and end the useless war already

[-] Somethingcheezie@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Hell, Iran wants to have it prolonged too. They’ve dreamed of this. Spent a lot of time, energy and money to have things blow up this way. They don’t care: the ends justify the means.

[-] Doorbook@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Iran didnt show any sign they want to prelong this war. The fact that before their drone attack notify both the US and the UK about the time of the attack refute your claim. Because they have the right to lunch a bigger attack if they wanted.

[-] Xeroxchasechase@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Religious extremists in Iran. It's a global war that the 3 religions declared on the western world, but somehow we keep calling the countries by names.

[-] ralphio@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Genuinely curiuos why this comment in particular got obliterated. Do people dispute the premise that the leaders are more rational then the followers?

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Pissed off both sides. Pro Palestinian posters don't like that he was called a propagandist and Pro Isrealis don't like any implication Netanyahu is killing a massive number of people to stay in power.

[-] ralphio@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Probably true lol.

[-] Gsus4@mander.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

I only dispute that the guy is a "moderate", everything else I agree with.

[-] Doorbook@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

When did Ismael made a propaganda statement. He is a diplomatic office leader. His job is to meet and speak with other power in region.

I wonder what level of security these people follow, considering they know Israel could kill them at any time.

It seems almost ridiculous that Iran can't prevent precision air strikes within its own borders.

Also wasn't this the dude responsible for leading the ceasefire negotiations bruh

[-] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Israel has access to American spy sats. Haniyeh's location would be a poor kept secret as he show up publicly for the presidential inauguration of the Iranian president on tuesday.

Destroying things with bombs and missiles is a lot easier than stopping the missiles. Even Iran managed to strike Israeli military locations beginning this year through the biggest defense layer in the world.

[-] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

Interesting. It almost reads like a PR statement, restrained, not too inflammatory, like someone threw him under the bus.
