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.

    I will be the fist to agree to a two state solution, but do the Palestinians really want that? What happens when Palestine as a formal country attacks Israel? I am not advocating for genocide, but let’s be honest, this war will only end when one side ceases to be…and well…one side actually spent the last 80 years improving their lives instead of ruining them.

      Friendly reminder that Palestine is an illegally occupied territory and it’s near impossible to “improve your life” without first freeing yourself from oppression.

        Also, “I am not advocating genocide, but” is so telling about how they actually feel. They’re reveling in this but have to hide their true colors. Good thing they’re really awful at doing that.

          Bloody hell, yes. I missed that!

          I’m not advocating for genocide, but…

          Predictably goes on to unambiguously advocate for genocide

          If you abuse our flagging system again, you will be temporarily banned. “Breaks community rules” is not enough. The posts you flag do not break community rules.

            I reported like three of their comments, and they were:

            • A comment that told another commenter “fuck you”.
            • A comment that calls Islam “a shit religion for shit people”. Rule 4 of this community reads: “Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.”
            • “Antisemitic leftists run this shithole.” (if you don’t believe this specifically violates rules, that’s cool, but I also can’t imagine calling this an “abuse” of the reporting system.)

            Was there a fourth one? Was that the abuse of the system? I’m just confused here. (Didn’t downvote you, btw; just genuinely perplexed.)

            Edit: in fact, ironically, this user’s account seems to have been banned ostensibly for the things they’ve said here, and while LW’s ToS aren’t the exact same as PS’, they’re extremely similar. I can’t think of anything weird or out there that PS does in their ToS that means would’ve gotten banned on PS but not on LW.

        Literally all of that is a lie. Prior to Oct 7, Gaza was not occupied by Israel. We have put millions into trying to improve their lives, but instead they dig up water pipes to make missiles. There were greenhouses and airports in Gaza, but they disassembled them to kill Jews.

          Literally a lie.
          Amnesty international.
          The UN.
          Pretty much every government in the world.

          All liars.
