So wait...Hamas, foreseen the future that if they take hostages...there will be "genocide" commited...so if they didn't take hostages..."genocide" could've been avoided?
Israel at war
- Thread starter Butler1000
- Start date
Hilarious.
You think its one sided to expect both sides to negotiate and concede points.
And you think that makes you credible?
Describe what you think that what the endstate would be if Hamas surrenders completely.
I'm all for negotiations.
Ceasefire and negotiate for returning all prisoners/hostages on both sides.
Charge the leaders of both sides for all war crimes.
End apartheid.
End the occupation.
Stop the genocide.
Why are you against this?
So you think Israel is as evil as the war in Darfur?
I may agree with you for once.
You need to bomb to destroy military infrastructure and defense systems. Large scale covert ops without advance bombing would have been suicide missions. Diplomacy would have been an insane response to the murder of 1400 civilians. That approach would have ensured further attacks, which is unacceptable.
The long term results can be assessed after Israel says their mission is complete, not before.
There's nothing wrong with using a place where children used to play as a base of operations. That's been very common throughout modern warfare. Schools, especially European boarding schools, are great places for makeshift barracks or field kitchens. Church steeples make for great observation posts. Playgrounds and sports fields are nice and open to accommodate a temporary motor pool or an improvised helipad or a bivouac.
The problem is using a place with children currently playing there as a base of operations. And that's not shown in this video. Did Hamas kick the kids out before they moved in? If so, there's nothing wrong with this from what I can see. This is fairly common in MOUT or FIBUA.
Aside from the fact that Hamas are terrorists chucking missiles at civilians, of course. But that's not the topic of this video; this video is implying kids were there being used as human shields. But implication is not proof.
As with all the other videos I've seen from them in this war so far, the IDF aren't releasing anything that conclusively establishes their narrative. If you want to take it on faith that what they claim is actually what's happening, that's your prerogative. Seems like a silly thing to do if you're one of the people calling out "the other side" for doing that though.
Covert Ops don't operate on Hostile territories. They usually operate on Neutral territories...Diplomacy? are you kidding? Did Israel carpet bomb gaza or they bomb gaza or selected areas? be specific
There's that phrase again...75 years of oppression...so let's forget anything past 75 years where Jews were displaced and massacred...let's just pick a date to start where you can conveniently defend your argument....
So there were no Canadian and US covert ops in Afghanistan during the war? No US covert ops in Iraq? Posts like this just shows everyone you're making shit up. Also, is your "period" button stuck? Because normal people just use one at the end of most sentences. Unless you're mad about something.....
BREAKING: Assassination attempt on Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas! A Hamas-affiliated Islamist terrorist organization attacked the convoy of vehicles the President traveled in. One of his bodyguards was killed. Hamas is trying to create chaos

You're watching too much movies...Covert ops does the investigation, surveilance and confirmation...they rarely do sleeper jobs in hostile territories. they rarely give up their position and identity...they seek out target and relay info...how do you think Israel found out about the tunnels and where the rockets are being fired? they don't operate the way you hope they do....
It's now only an issue of "apartheid" because the jews got the upperhand on the conflict in palestine...Remember the majority of Jews in present day Israel, to the tune of 70% if I am right, come from the middle east and north Africa. These Jews historically lived under majority Muslim rule and were safe. It was only the Ashkenazi Jews from Europe who were slaughtered and massacred. That is an important distinction to make and understand. After Israel's formation, many in North Africa and the Middle East may have encountered discrimination, as backlash, but the massacring was primarily in Europe. Also, even before the formation of Israel, remember that Jews formed paramilitary groups like the Haganah, Irgun, Lehi etc., who themselves were engaged in massacring Arabs. Check this for instance:
Deir Yassin massacre - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
Now, Arabs also did it. For example:
1929 Hebron massacre - Wikipedia
So, it is not important to look at anything prior to 1948. It was filled with blood shed, perpetrated by both sides. It is only after Israel was victorious in the 1948 war, that they started to take territory, and people were displaced and the current accusation of oppression of the Palestinians started.

What..... does..... this..... even......mean???
I think richatroll's "extensive knowledge" of "covert operations" and the "tactics" they use comes from years of training.
Status quo is not great but it beats the elimination of israel
