Israel heavily bombs Gaza in major ceasefire violation
(www.middleeasteye.net)
Man it’s almost like Israel got exactly what it wanted (the hostages, which I’m in no way faulting their focus on) and then turned around and did what it wanted (continued to kill Palestinians wantonly, which I am faulting them for)
Israel never cared about the hostages so it was the right decision from Hamas
The Israeli government didn’t, but the Israeli population did. The strongest argument the public was making against the war was to bring the hostages home. Now that they’ve got that they have a much larger domestic social licence to continue the genocide. It was a real ‘rock and a hard place’ decision for Hamas given that Trump began alluding to the idea that the US would directly enter the war somehow if they didn’t agree to the plan.
Ooh gosh who could have seen this coming?! We were all so sure they would actually abide by the cease fire this time, unlike all the last ones! /s
I never understood why people expected them to stop, the hostages got released, which was an obstacle to their genocide, not the cause of it.
We didn't expect them to stop
Keeping alive hostages is against to national socialist values.
This shit has been making me cry since 2010. Difference now is that the world sees the genocide, in 2010 I looked like a lunatic when talking about Palestine and Israel.
Yeah, when I moved out of my parents’ place, my second roommate was a displaced Palestinian. His family had owned an olive farm for six generations. He had to flee when Israel cut down all of their olive trees, and gave his family’s land to some random Jewish dude. He got out, but was separated from his family and had no idea if any of them had survived.
That was in 2013, and he said he always felt crazy talking about it, because there was nothing about it in the news.
Around 2004, I bought a pin from a random street vendor that said “We are all Palestinian” because I was a dumbass teenager and it seemed sage with high potential to be edgy. Later, out of fear someone would ask me what the pin meant, I started reading about the situation. Long story short, that dumb pin has caused me much grief as I’ve watched this horrific drama unfold the past 20 years or so. I very much relate to your comments.
I was looking up some history timeline stuff just now and noticed 2010 was the year Hellen Thomas was fired for saying Israel should get the hell out Palestine. Coincidence or no?
Similar thing happened to me. But it was a Palestinian women talking to me in Chicago in 2014. I didn't really listen much or care at the time. But that did start me actually learning about what was even happening in Palestine.
"They cease, we fire."
As has been said over and over and over peace without justice really means nothing. The oppressor will continue the genocide until it gets what it wants.
United States President, Donald Trump (center) signs the ceasefire agreement alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (left) and overseen by former UK Prime Minister Sir Tony Blair (right).
Later, Trump told Fox News that the agreement would usher in a "different world".
this cease fire was bullshit anyways.
Yep, just go ahead and pause and unpause the cease fire whenever you want, Israel. Definitely a negotiating partner operating in good faith.
The Israeli military said it had begun resuming enforcement of the Gaza ceasefire after it says it was “violated” by Hamas, signaling an end to strikes on the territory that it said were carried out in response to earlier attacks on its forces on Sunday, Reuters reported.
“In accordance with the directive of the political echelon, and following a series of significant strikes in response to Hamas’ violations, the IDF has begun the renewed enforcement of the ceasefire,” the military said in a statement.
It adds: “The IDF will continue to uphold the ceasefire agreement and will respond firmly to any violation of it.”
Israel doesn't violate ceasefires. It just pauses them while they fire and when Israel doesn't fire the ceasefire resumes.
The whole think looked from the start like a scam for Israel to get the remaining hostages held by Hamas whilst only releasing a fraction of the hostages they themselves hold (there are tens of thousands of Palestinians in held by Israel on flimsy charges and thousands more held without being charged).
Also the idea that Netanyahu was going to stop playing his "stay out of jail" card was always far-fetched, plus Trump being involved was also a bit "this is all bullshit" flag.
So naturally we're back on Israel's timetable for executing their very own Holocaust on Palestinians (remember, polls show that outright murdering all Gazas is supported by almost half of all Israelis, whilst almost 80% support either that or expelling them all to other countries).
Early rumors suggest that an Isreali demolition vehicle triggered an IED (unconfirmed)
Always have and always will violate the ceasefire. Love Israel…

-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
