Or, it could be that they aren't an army, they are a resistance to an illegal occupation with no funding, no uniforms and no army or heavy weapons.
...
Other than the money and weapons Iran provides.

And when their primary targets are Jewish civilians, they are terrorists.

The expansion of fighting and IDF's entrance into southern Gaza worsened the humanitarian crisis, triggering food shortages and residents' growing dissatisfaction with Hamas leadership.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday night confirmed the authenticity of photos and videos showing dozens of Hamas terrorists surrendering to the Israel Defense Forces in the Gaza Strip.

“Over the past few days, dozens of Hamas terrorists have surrendered to our forces. They are laying down their weapons and handing themselves over to our heroic soldiers,” said Netanyahu in a video statement.

“It will take some more time—we are in the midst of the war—but this is the beginning of the end for Hamas. I say to Hamas terrorists: It’s over. Don’t die for [Hamas leader Yahya] Sinwar. Surrender now,” he urged.


Israeli TV networks on Thursday broadcast images showing dozens of blindfolded Palestinian men of fighting age, who apparently surrendered, in their undergarments and with their hands bound.

In one video clip, an armed Palestinian terrorist can be seen moving to the front of the line and laying his assault rifle down in front of Israeli soldiers.

“We are eliminating many terrorists, and increasingly are seeing terrorists who surrender during battle and turn themselves over to our forces,” IDF Spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said during a Friday night press briefing.

“In the last 48 hours, we apprehended more than 200 suspects, dozens of whom were transferred to the 504 Military Intelligence Unit and the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) for investigation in Israel,” noted Hagari.

Amongst the suspects were terrorist commanders and members of Hamas’s Nukhba death squads. Nukhba was the leading force that infiltrated Israeli communities on the morning of Oct. 7—going on a murderous rampage and taking more than 200 hostages back to Gaza.

😂😂 A bunch of Goofs

They are ‘Passionate About Palestine,’ But They Can’t Find Palestinian Territories on a Map

Most students who care strongly about the “Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories” do not have knowledge of basic facts surrounding the subject, and do not share similar concerns about other geopolitical conflicts, a recent study has suggested.

The survey, carried out among 230 undergraduates at the University of California, Berkeley, was conducted by Ron Hassner, the Helen Diller Family Chair in Israel Studies at the school who published an essay on his results on Monday.

It asked respondents to rate their attitude on 18 issues, “including US-Iran relations, the civil war in Yemen, drone warfare, etc., on a five point scale, ranging from ‘I’m not that interested’ (1 point out of 5) to ‘I care deeply’ (5 points out of 5),” explained Hassner, who also included a series of open-ended questions “on history, geography, and current affairs.”

One hundred of the participating students, or 43 percent, expressed the highest rate of interest in Israel’s control of Palestinian territories, while simultaneously caring “far less about other Middle East occupations, such as the Kurdish struggle for independence, the occupation of Western Sahara, or the occupation of Northern Cyprus,” Hassner found.

Of the 100 students who said they “care deeply” about the Palestinian territories, only 10 also reported the same level of interest in the Sahrawi independence movement in Western Sahara, while only six were equally enthusiastic to learn about all Middle Eastern independence movements.

Ex-Hamas minister in interrogation: ‘Crazy people’ led by Sinwar ‘destroyed Gaza’

Yousef al-Mansi says Sinwar has ‘delusions of grandeur’ and the Gaza public doesn’t support him; calls the October 7 massacre ‘heresy, madness’


Former Hamas communications minister Yousef al-Mansi heavily criticized the current leadership of the terror group in Gaza as a group of “crazy people” led by Yahya Sinwar, in footage of his interrogation published by the Shin Bet security agency Sunday.

“They destroyed the Gaza Strip. Set it back 200 years,” al-Mansi, who served under the Strip’s former ruler Ismail Haniyeh — currently the head of Hamas’s political bureau — and in several other roles, said in translated excerpts provided by the Shin Bet. “There is no opportunity to live.”

Israel has labeled Sinwar — who rules the enclave and has been marked as the mastermind of Hamas’s devastating October 7 onslaught — a “walking dead man,” along with the rest of the terror group’s senior leadership.

In the 14-minute video published by the agency, al-Mansi said, “People in the Gaza Strip say that Sinwar and his group destroyed us, we must get rid of them.”

He said in the video that he arrived for his questioning on December 7 and had been at the facility for three days, indicating the session occurred on Sunday. The Shin Bet did not provide further information about when al-Mansi was arrested.
“I have not seen anyone in the Gaza Strip who supports Sinwar; nobody likes Sinwar. There are people who, day and night, pray that God will free us from him,” he said, adding that if he were in Gaza now, he would go and demonstrate against Sinwar.


Al-Mansi said that Gaza’s ruler has “delusions of grandeur,” and that he “feels like he is above everyone else. Acts only as he thinks. He makes decisions without consulting anyone.”

The former Hamas minister said the October 7 massacre — when thousands of Hamas fighters invaded Israel’s south and killed some 1,200 people, most of them civilians murdered amid brutal atrocities, and took another estimated 240 people hostage — was “the opposite of Islam.”

“This is heresy, madness. What they did is unacceptable according to logic, religion, or intellect. Those who are responsible for this are Sinwar and his group,” he said, according to the excerpts, adding that the entire Gaza Strip was paying the price for the onslaught.

“The achievement of Hamas is killing and the destruction of more than 60 percent of buildings, infrastructure, streets, and public facilities [in the Gaza Strip],” he added.

Al-Mansi said in the video that as a result of the war, “over 90%, 95%” of Hamas’s military wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, had been decimated, adding, “Al-Qassam is finished.”

“This is my assessment, without any details, but whoever sees the destruction in the Gaza Strip will say that it’s more… If there’s something left they would be scattered.”

The IDF says it has killed 7,000 Hamas members or allied terrorists as it seeks to destroy the terror group, free the hostages, and ensure such a massacre can never occur again. More than 22,000 targets in the Gaza Strip have been struck since the beginning of the war, 3,500 of them since the end of the ceasefire on December 1.

No, the world voted for a shutdown, 100 countries sponsored the resolution and only Biden stopped it with a veto.
So what you're saying is that the UN does not endorse a ceasefire. The rules of the UN were followed and there was no resolution passed calling for such a ceasefire.

The exact mechanism is irrelevant. The bottom line is that the rules were followed and there is no resolution calling for a ceasefire.

And the result of that is that Israel has a green light to continue targetting Hamas soldiers and installations. This is reality fringie. You need to learn to get a hold of yourself, process that info, deal with it and accept it.

Your boys will be fully hamassed in 3-5 more weeks and they'll be surrendering in their underwear. There will be lots of brown skid marks in there.

I'm going to try for the International Word of the Year Award.

To hamas oneself is to get your self destroyed by perpetrating violence against another person or entity that you have no way to defend yourself.

Like in the Taco Bell video where a guy gets bodyslammed and is knocked out due to his stupidity.

He got hamassed.
Hey look, Israel is getting another rarely used UN resolution. UNGA 377.
Without Biden's veto Israel would be fucked.

To zionist oneself is to get the entire world to hate you by beating children to death and bragging about how tough you are.

More hasbara troll posting, blatant lies you cannot and will not back up.
Troll.
Classic. You couldn't defend yourself against his claims so you can only say he's lying with absolutely no evidence that he did so.

Pathetic debating. An 8th grader would beat you.

Basketcase accused me of 'getting off on death porn'.
Go head and prove it if you think he's right.

If not, then we've proven that the both of you are trolling.

Tell me how posting that this shit below is a war crime and terrorism and that it should be stopped and that Netanyahu should be charged at the ICC is 'getting off on death porn'.
Ceasefire and stop this shit.

The only people getting off on this crap are the ones saying they want to 'eradicate vermin' and cheering for more dead.
That's not me, buddy.

Read again:

The rules of the UN were followed.

The UN did not pass a resolution calling for a ceasefire.


Read, learn, process accept.

Israel was given a green light to continue hamassing Hamas. It's like when Lou Gehrigh died of the disease that was named after him

Egypt, Mauritania invoke UN Resolution 377 ‘Uniting for Peace’

Egypt and Mauritania have invoked the UN General Assembly Resolution 377 “Uniting for Peace” in a letter to the President of the General Assembly.
The president responded by convening a special session of the assembly to be held on Tuesday.
In their letter, Egypt and Mauritania said the special session was needed after “a Permanent Member of the Security Council” vetoed a Security Council Gaza ceasefire resolution – a reference to the US.
Adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1950, Resolution 377 allows the 193-member UN body to act where the UN Security Council has failed to “exercise its primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security”.
Their letter also referred to the UN secretary general invoking Article 99 of the UN Charter on December 6, before the Security Council’s vote.
Article 99 allows the secretary general to “bring to the attention of the Security Council any matter which in his opinion may threaten the maintenance of international peace and security”.



Enjoy watching Netanyahu's defence for genocide after he declared this and enacted it.
