Hamas blindsides Israel with most serious attack in a generation - Lemmy.world

Israel was taken by surprise by the most ambitious operation Hamas has ever launched from Gaza. The scale of what’s been happening is unprecedented. Hamas breached the wire that separates Gaza from Israel in multiple places in the most serious cross-border attack Israel has faced in more than a generation. It came a day after the 50th anniversary of the surprise attack by Egypt and Syria in 1973 that started a major Middle East war. The significance of the date will not have been lost on the Hamas leadership. Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says his country is at war and will exact a heavy price from its enemies. Videos and photos of dead Israelis, civilians as well as soldiers, are all over social media.

I mean, Israel kind of threw the first stone and built the first wall

They came for the civilians, they shot families in their homes, literal children and babies. No stone provoked this.

The Israeli settlers did this first in the forties when they invaded and colonized Palestine, indiscriminate violence was their M.O., so yes the first stone was thrown two generations ago. Not excusing the violence today, but it is not unexpected nor unprecedented by either side of this conflict.

Jewish subjects under the British mandate rebelled against the British government and the Nazi-aligned muftis. This, after decades of oppression against the Jews of the colony; finally, they declared their independence.

A lot of people are excusing, and in many cases celebrating the violence today. They love to see Jews die. This is nothing new.

No one is saying Jews need to or should die. The argument is larger than that. Israel has don’t some fucking horrible things to Palestinians. Palestine rejected land deals and peace. It’s horrible to see what’s happening. No one should be praising Hamas,

but people do praise Hamas. People celebrate when Jews die.

So yeah, some people are saying Jews should die. Should I bring up the Hamas charter?
