Hamas says it has taken ‘dozens’ of Israelis hostage - Lemmy.world

An Israeli military spokesperson confirmed that there were “hostage situations” in the southern city of Ofakim and the nearby kibbutz of Beeri. Hamas said it had taken “dozens” of Israeli soldiers hostage and moved them to the Gaza Strip as footage emerged appearing to show gunmen in military fatigues leading a group of mostly barefoot women down a street in Israel. The announcement and video verified by NBC News came hours after Hamas launched a deadly land, air and sea attack and fired a huge barrage of rockets at Israel.

Slowly genociding an entire people and their culture for their land eventually pushes them to commit unspeakable acts of violence to try and save themselves? Interesting.

See the apologists are on top of the threads again. You sound like Putin. The crimes of the Palestinians are inexcusable.

Self defense is inexcusable?

Self-defense against this little teenage monster, huh? https://www.instagram.com/p/CyG1HdsA5I9/

There's no such thing as self-defense against a civilian who never hurt anybody.

Yes, murdering and kidnapping civilians is inexcusable, why would that be excusable?

The Israelis murder and kidnap Palestinian children on an almost daily basis. They kill Palestinians regularly. Are they not civilians being unfairly brutalized or is it only unfair when the western world says so? Or when the victims are female, another western norm.

Absolute lies.

Pretty well documented at this point what the Israelis have and continue to do to the Palestinians but I see you.

If your lies were documented at all, you'd cite a source. Luckily, people can look these things up on Google.

Here's an article from 234 days into the year, from Al Jazeera: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/8/22/more-than-200-palestinians-nearly-30-israelis-killed-so-far-this-year-un. That number is not children, it's mostly active enemy combatants.

More than 200 Palestinians, nearly 30 Israelis killed so far this year: UN

UN Middle East envoy Tor Wennesland says deaths from violence so far this year are the highest recorded since 2005.
