This show of force, welcomed by some Palestinians after months of lawlessness, could now threaten the fragile ceasefire, especially as all living hostages from Hamas’s 7 October 2023 attack have been released.

The Hamas-run police maintained a high degree of public security after the militants seized power in Gaza 18 years ago while also cracking down on dissent. They largely melted away in recent months as Israeli forces seized large areas of Gaza and targeted Hamas security forces with airstrikes.

This seems like Israeli propaganda. Are they allowing impartial journalists into Palestine? Israel killed over 250 journalists.

[-] BCBoy911@lemmy.ca 32 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

It was interesting to see all the mainstream outlets suddenly talking about extrajudicial killings in Gaza like they haven't spent the last 2 years cheerleading for an extrajudicial genocide in Gaza. The articles are all meant to present an implicit message - "look at how scary and violent these Arab barbarians are. This is what happens when you let them run their own country instead of killing them all".

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

The media cheered on Israel bombing a hospital and killing 20 people because there might have been a "Khamaas camera!". (there was not, it was a journalist camera)

But suddenly they start talking about due process and law when Palestinians execute Israeli collaborators.

Liberals when the Zionists kill civillians and label them terrorists: "Israel has a right to defend itself from terrorists"

Liberals when Hamas acturally kills terrorists except they're backed by the GDF: "Wahhh this is a violation of international law which I suddenly care about now"

[-] absentbird@lemmy.world 25 points 6 days ago

I don't consider myself a liberal, but personally I would prefer everyone to stop killing each other. Such a waste of life.

[-] kittenzrulz123 8 points 6 days ago

These people are guilty of terrorism, murder, rape, theft of critical supplies during a genocide, complicity in genocide, and collaboration with the Zionists. What are they supposed to just apologize and everyone moves on?

[-] absentbird@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I don't know, send them to the hague or something. I think spontaneous extrajudicial executions in the public square aren't going to help the people of Gaza feel safe, but maybe I'm projecting.

[-] kittenzrulz123 7 points 5 days ago

What an absolute joke, send them to the Hauge? What are they gonna do, tell them with very strong words that they're disappointed? International law isnt real, international courts don't really exist, it is the job of Gaza to make sure that their criminals face justice.

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

The Hague is a joke which should be closed. International law is dead and the West killed it.

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 7 points 6 days ago

I do consider myself something that many on Lemmy would call a shitlib (I'm a socdem basically) and I concur. Would be nice if people stopped killing each other, regardless of who's doing it to who.

[-] mrdown@lemmy.world 21 points 6 days ago

Vietcong executed collaborators and most people today don't deny that they was still a resistance group

[-] Spesknight@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

The difference between resistance and terrorist is only who wins in the end.

Powerful local families and armed gangs – including some anti-Hamas factions backed by Israel – stepped into the void. Many are accused of hijacking humanitarian aid and selling it for profit, contributing to Gaza’s starvation crisis.

Nahed Sheheiber, head of Gaza’s private truckers union, said Hamas was acting against gangs that had terrorised people in areas controlled by Israel.

“Those gangs looted aid and killed people under the protection of the [Israeli] occupation,” he told The Associated Press, saying they operated in so-called red zones where Israel had ordered people to evacuate. The Israeli military did not respond to a request for comment.

[...]

Residents of the area, who spoke on condition of anonymity out of security concerns, said the gang, led by Hussam Doghmush, was known to loot aid convoys and rob abandoned homes in areas controlled by the Israeli military. They said Doghmush was among some two dozen people killed in the clashes with Hamas, including a local journalist and a son of a senior Hamas official based outside Gaza.

Hamas-linked Telegram channels said Hamas had targeted “collaborators and traitors” working with Israel. The Hamas-run Sahm security force, which says it targets looters and other criminals, shared footage that appeared to show its forces killing eight people execution-style in the streets as people cheered. It said the detainees were gangsters.

"Could now threaten the ceasefire"

Lol, yeah sure. This is what will do it im sure. Nothing else at all...

By the way, for those that actually read the article you'll notice it's super interesting the parts that OP quoted there and the parts that he left out.

[-] prole 21 points 6 days ago

Nobody batted an eye when Israel killed 5 Palestinians a day or two ago

[-] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 16 points 6 days ago

OP is a zionazi piece of shit and they have an agenda to spread. They will always quote shit out of context.

[-] mistermodal@lemmy.ml 42 points 6 days ago

You guys do understand that Israel has been funding ISIS gangs to rape and kill Palestinians? How exactly should the people of Palestine deal with this issue? Ask them politely to leave?

[-] ReCursing@feddit.uk 16 points 6 days ago

I dunno, but I'm pretty sure the right option is not public executions without due process perpetrated by a bunch of religious extremist nutjobs hours after ironically fascist nutjobs stopped publicly executing civilians without due process only they didn't actually stop.

[-] Not_mikey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 6 days ago

Due process would be great if there was a functioning court and prison system, but Israel bombed all that

[-] ReCursing@feddit.uk 7 points 6 days ago

SO just murder people at random? Great!

[-] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 9 points 6 days ago

Lol seriously. It's things like this that put me off this site. It's unhinged. If any other state executed people in the streets without due process these same people would be up in arms, calling them fascists. But Hamas do it and it's all good. I'm convinced some users here see any criticism of Hamas as meaning that it's a show of support for the IDF/Israel.

[-] ReCursing@feddit.uk 4 points 6 days ago

Factly this. Hamas are, morally, as bad as the IDF, they WANT to do to Israelis what Israel has been doing to Palestinians, they just din't have backing fro the the US and the west so they CAN'T. This is in no way supporting or excusing the IDF, it's just not supporting or excusing Hamas either!

[-] mrdown@lemmy.world 24 points 6 days ago

No, fuck anybody who support the state comiting the genocide.

Oh, of course, Hamas should just turn them into the police. Silly me. Oi Hamas, this Britbong bloke says you ought to call the fuzz!

[-] neatchee@piefed.social 11 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Cool story, still extrajudicial slaughter.

EDIT: Oh right, you're from .ml so obviously you support fascism when it's for your team. I should've known.

[-] mistermodal@lemmy.ml 17 points 6 days ago

Fantastic, my dude, good luck defeating the "Hamas fascists", and the 85% of the world population that supports their actions. You've done a great job by sitting on your ass while a genocide is committed so far. Anything else? 🤨🎤🗑️

Please. There's never been an anti-colonial movement where collaborators weren't punished harshly. Nelson Mandela's ANC executed collaborators in famously brutal fashion.

How does Hamas executing Israeli collaborators threaten a ceasefire exactly?

[-] MrMakabar@slrpnk.net 3 points 5 days ago

In this conflict it is only a matter of time until the ceasefire is broken. Anything could be used as a cause.

Oh, it's Hamas that's threatening peace? I seem to understand that Israel is already ahead of the game on that. Sigh.

[-] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 19 points 6 days ago

Israel spent the last 2 years publicly executing hundreds of thousands of civilians. Hamas (legitimate governing organization of Gaza) is finally freed up to deal with the collaborators and criminals who were taking advantage of their already brutalized neighbors.

[-] WildPalmTree@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

The word "legitimate" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there, bro.

we have absolutely zero concept of what its like to live in a wartorn bombed out, active warzone. we can assume Hamas is awful, but this article paints Palestinians we the same brush. uhm. the civilians in this genocide don't have the privilege of "options" . this article is for westerners only who get manipulated to believe things. The probably sourced 3 propoganda tiktok videos as "some palestinians"

[-] Doorbook@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Hamas is awful based on what exactly? It is a government like any government with the extra of being in the largest open prison since they got elected..

[-] Cyberflunk@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

are you for real, or just ignorant? a "government" that tortures, kills, represses its citizens....

oh wait, thats us.

[-] Squeebah@lemmy.today 2 points 5 days ago

Ah yes, murdering and raping 1200 people in a matter of hours is nowhere near awful...

Same game, different team. Never was about freeing Palestinians from Hamas or IDF. Civilians are just meat for them to express emotion through violence.
