The death toll means around ten percent of the kibbutz's population was wiped out

The bodies of more than 100 people were discovered by volunteers in a single, small Israeli village Monday — including those of children — believed to have been killed by Hamas militants caught on camera.

The remains were discovered in Be'eri, or Bari, a kibbutz in southern Israel close to Gaza. It's one of the villages Hamas militants invaded on Saturday as they began their attack on the country.

"Today the volunteers entered Kibbutz Bari and it is impossible to explain in words the terrible sights - some were adults, some were children. These are horrors that cannot be grasped in the mind or soul," a spokesperson for Zaka search and rescue told IDF radio.

Hamas thought this operation would change everything.

They were right, but not in the way they expected. All they've done is turn soft sympathisers like myself away from their cause. They deserve everything they get and it's not going to be pretty. The Palestinian who will be killed during crossfire are on Hamas hands this time and the rest of the world will see it that way. absolute own goal, so they could... massacre a bunch of civilians. Hamas showing military genius of the likes of Russia

Palestinians using violent means might think they're succeeding because they are actually getting landback for the first time in decades, but they fail to consider how bad it looks to me, a guy on the internet who thinks it would be better for their PR if they kept dying instead.

A) they didnt get land back, they are likely to lose more

B) throw rocks at tanks, dont be surprised when you get glassed

False, they did. And they only lose more if Israel continues its genocide, which you're prob gonna advocate.

B) throw rocks at tanks, dont be surprised when you get glassed

Like I said. Grotesque, as usual 🤣

False, they did

No, the Gaza residents don't deserve collective punishment, and that is what Hamas wants. They want Israel to overreact and clamp down. They want videos of their dead children and women across all media. This is part of the tried and true strategy of big guy vs little guy conflicts, and guess what it NEVER WORKS... for the big guy.

How did 9/11 work out for Osama Bin Laden? Better then he could have ever even dreamed of.

You can't kill your way out of this kind of conflict. The only ways out are A) complete genocide or B) political resolutions and bringing them to the table.

Neither Bibi, nor Hamas, want option B, and they're both hoping that eventually option A will work out in their favor.

At the next Hamas leadership meeting

"Guys our attacks are causing us to lose the support of Internet neckbeards that kind of sort of support us but never did anything at all to show that support"

"Oh no, they're our most crucial supporters"

"I told you we should have just kept letting the IDF commit war crimes on us with impunity"

No, the Palestinians who are killed are on the hands of Israel, who killed them. The "they did it first" argument didn't work with your mom when you and your siblings were fighting as kids, what the fuck kind of mental gymnastics makes you think it works when we're talking about genocide of an entire people? You're out of your damn mind.

And don't get gleeful watching Palestinians die, because Israel is about to invade Gaza. That's house-to-house and room-to-room fighting. Ask the Russians how that went in WW2, or the Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Israelis haven't done all their dying, they're just signing up for the slaughter now.

Hamas has always supported genocide against Jewish Israelis, they have always been extreme. You had sympathy for that? WTF bro!?

[-] jcit878@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

sympathy for the plight of the poor bastards being used as pawns by their genocidal terrorist leaders? yeah of course I do. Why would I be in favour of wiping the people out?

Entire settlements have been burned to the ground, the population murdered and kidnapped. This will end now, and it will end violently, there is no other way. Hamas is the governing body of the failed autonomous region of gaza and now they will pay the price for starting a war.

[-] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 82 points 2 years ago

Palestinians are going to suffer for what Hamas has started. And doubt very much that the common Palestinian wanted this. However, Israel's bombing of civilian infrastructures in Gaza is only going to perpetuate this violence.

Nobody wins in this conflict. But, it would be a big win for the region if Nethnyahu and his party were removed and replaced with a peace seeking parliament that could turn things around.

[-] luthis@lemmy.nz 18 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It could well be the end of Palestine. I hardly see Netanyahoo stopping until Hamas is completely wiped out. Israel is on a warpath now, and any civilian human shields Hamas tries to put in the way are going to be destroyed as well because Israel DGAF now.

In the end, Israel is going to commit more atrocities than Hamas in total. And by that point there may not be a Palestine left.

I'm worried about how many civilian casualties there will be

[-] Neon@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

from what i know about the Conflict and the current Israeli Government and Military, there will be massive retaliations against the Palestine Populations everywhere ensuring that no Wounds get mended, instead new ones get opened and this conflict continues on forever.
