Forces had no direct confrontation with Hamas terrorists who killed hostages; ‘The IDF and security forces are doing everything possible to bring all hostages home as quickly as possible. This news shakes us all,’ says army spokesperson Hagari

Israeli forces discovered the bodies of six hostages in a 65-foot-deep tunnel in Rafah, approximately a kilometer from where hostage Farhan Alkadi was recently freed. The IDF had no precise intelligence on the hostages’ location in recent months but knew there were captives in the sector, leading to a gradual and cautious operation in Rafah since the ground offensive began.

      What the actual fuck are you talking about. Hamas murders people all the fucking time, posting videos of their brutal murders etc. proudly online. IDF has no interest in killing hostages, it does not help them, it can only backfire.

          I’m telling you that if, say, Canada came and occupied my home town, forced everyone out, and killed my family, that I’d definitely be an anti Canadian terrorist.

          Addition: How is this being downvoted. Violence begets terrorists. Have we learned nothing from historical US intervention in the middle east? This is Israel’s “War on Terror” and its going to end the same way. Tons of dead brown people and many many more terrorists.

            You would be a freedom fighter going for liberation though.

            Hampshire is not attempting to liberate the Palestinian people.

            That’s what you are failing to realize.

              A person with no options is going to choose the better of two evils. Hamas wants to rule over them. Israel wants to wipe them off the map.

              Its always the same people that advocate for harm reduction with our votes that say stuff like this.

              The only option here is for one of the two side to be better, and I feel it’s incumbent on Israel as long as they are recieving our weapons.

              That’s the only reason any of us care over here in the US, frankly, is that we are suddenly all morally culpable. In the hypothetical Candian invasion circumstance, I would absolutely side with “Not Canada” if given an option.

                Can you name a single policy or decision over the last 20 years that Hamas has had that makes you believe they aren’t themselves attempting to get Palestine wiped off the map?

                In my mind, if Hamas were themselves trying to rule, they would be making decisions for themselves and not doing what Iran tells them to.

                Surely you have put two and two together already.

                  You want me to prove a negative?

                  “Prove that they don’t want to kill themselves”

                  Hardly a cogent argument you are making. Absolute insanity. Let’s assume for a moment that their intention is to get themselves all killed, which again is ludicrous. How does that excuse Israel’s actions?

                  How does Israel actions, to my point, not strengthen Hamas recruitment and power?

                    So you can’t name a single decision made by the Palestinian government that has improved their life over the last 20 years rather making things worse for them?
