Gazans forced to drink dirty, salty water as the fuel needed to run water systems runs out - Lemmy.World

Hamas’ brutal attacks in Israel on October 7 killed at least 1,400 people and the group took more than 200 hostages, according to Israeli authorities. In the wake of the assault, Israel launched an aerial bombardment of Gaza that Palestinian health officials say has killed more than 5,000 people. Israel also announced a “complete siege” on the enclave, withholding vital supplies of water, food and fuel.

Why don’t Palestinians work with their oppressor who tortures them in prison and puts up checkpoints to prevent them from reaching schools and kills them indiscriminately? Gosh I don’t know. What do you think?

I think how they’re murdering Palestinian children with blind disregard should tell you their opinion on the palestinian people.

Israel doesn’t care about them, they treat Gaza like a house they wanna move into a Palestinians like an infestation.

I mean Hamas also does that. Israeli Arabs are imo objectively treated better by Israel than Palestinians by Hamas, despite the fact that they're also not treated that well.

Had that been the case they would just level the whole thing and make a new parking lot. You severely underestimate military power Israel poses.

Have you seen photos from Gaza? Entire neighborhoods are levelled. Houses obliterated. Some districts look like Warsaw in 1945.

And yet they are not going full force.

Do you think Hamas or Iran would use one if they had it? I think it would be sent on a donkey if it meant destruction of Israeli lives.

You people are so historically ignorant.

They don’t leave because they know what will happen when they leave because Israel has done this before. Israel will seize the land and their homes and will continue to bomb them in a more dense space. So if they are going to die they choose to die in their homes and not a concentration camp.

Better question, why did Netanyahu fund Hamas?

Why don't the Palestinians work with Isn'trael to get defanged and become at the mercy of the IDF? That should end them ASAP!
Show threadNoneOfUrBusinessOct 25, 2023
Because Hamas is the only organization fighting Israel, or the only one that matters. So given that Israel has no interest in peace, Hamas is their best bet at getting anything done. Remember: The West Bank doesn't have Hamas, and there are currently honest to God pogroms going on there.

Kidnap them. Israel would gladly pay 10k$ for each one of them.
Show threadagitatedpotatoOct 25, 2023
You’re gonna have to pay me more than that to try and kidnap what is essentially a soldier. Do normal Palestinians even have guns or is this even more of a suicide mission than it sounds?
Show threadMeanEYEOct 25, 2023
I was merely quoting the original sum. I’d hazard a guess Israel would be willing to pay a lot more for each soldier considering only one of the Iron Dome missiles costs 47k$ or something.

I doubt money is the most important need for a marginalized and oppressed people. Sounds like an alibi offer so people can’t say Bibi hasn’t tried something else than bombs. Especially that number seems laughably low as you yourself already pointed out. If this could work, they should be able to afford a lot more.

Do you know where I pulled 10k number? It’s what people were offered to kill, rape and kidnap people. 10k and an apartment.

Because the current Israeli government hasn’t wanted to get rid of Hamas. They’ve been using Hamas to weaken the more moderate Palestinian Authority. timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-…
For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces

The premier's policy of treating the terror group as a partner, at the expense of Abbas and Palestinian statehood, has resulted in wounds that will take Israel years to heal from

You’ve got real “Why didn’t all the colonised countries rise up against their European colonisers” vibes…

Do you believe they didn’t rise up because they’re genetically inferior? That they deserved suffering and oppression?

Because Israel legitimized Hamas, giving them access to external funding and other political rights, so they could ensure less radical non-terrorist groups wouldn’t gain support

Israel’s current administration wants Hamas to be the Palestinian political leaders, because Hamas are terrorists with hardliner demands and a hard on for martyrdom… They’re the worst way to actually accomplish anything politically
