You can't help but notice that HAMAS hasn't shown up to protect Gazans [View all] no_hypocrisy Aug 2025 OP

It's infuriating to be fighting an enemy that never shows itself Walleye Aug 2025 #1

Hamas hardly matters now. Warmonger Netanyahu has made it clear he's... brush Aug 2025 #56

Sad, but true, and now he has a bloodthirsty partner in the president of our country Walleye Aug 2025 #66

Like Hamas can stand up to 14,000 MK-84 2,000 lb bombs womanofthehills Aug 2025 #85

A 3rd of all Americans are on Twitter - over 100 million Americans are on Twitter & 52 million of them are Dems womanofthehills Aug 2025 #91

I don't give a fuck fujiyamasan Aug 2025 #92

According to the NYT, it's Izz al-Din al-Haddad. ancianita Aug 2025 #2

"HAMA'S premise for war both accepted and approved of the fact that civilians would be sacrificed in horrific numbers. betsuni Aug 2025 #3

I started to reach that conclusion more than a year ago. Martin Eden Aug 2025 #24

Malcolm Nance has no proof that was the plan.... ShadesOfBlue Aug 2025 #47

What do you think Hamas was trying to accomplish with its comradebillyboy Aug 2025 #58

FYI...Malcom Nance is a member of DU. sheshe2 Aug 2025 #75

He's a public figure and his presence on DU is largely symbolic. Crunchy Frog Aug 2025 #84

Legitimate is one thing, however... sheshe2 Aug 2025 #86

It's not unusual to talk about media figures in that way. And he's only posted 5 or 6 times, so Crunchy Frog Aug 2025 #96

He's a Libertarian JustAnotherGen Aug 2025 #101

Five or six times and a Star Member of DU. sheshe2 Aug 2025 #128

Malcom Nance is a Member of DU.. Profile Cha Aug 2025 #76

One of their leaders announced soon after Oct 7 mcar Aug 2025 #50

Yes, clearly praising high death toll as a "welcome sacrifice" and do nothing to protect them or stop the war. betsuni Aug 2025 #57

It's one of the things that has bothered me since that horrific attack mcar Aug 2025 #59

Yes... amazing, but not amazing. (Simply ignored by a predictable many.) Oopsie Daisy Aug 2025 #69

Babies were not beheaded or put in microwave ovens womanofthehills Aug 2025 #93

Well, Hamas is a vile terrorist regime that should be wiped out to its last member. Orrex Aug 2025 #4

Sadly... GiqueCee Aug 2025 #5

I believe this all began 80 yrs ago womanofthehills Aug 2025 #95

I see what you did here. Lol!! N/T AloeVera Aug 2025 #112

Before Oct 7, IDF was busy killing Palestinian children womanofthehills Aug 2025 #135

Make up your minds Johnny2X2X Aug 2025 #6

Both can be true depending on the circumstances EdmondDantes_ Aug 2025 #9

Why do you believe there were "operational bases under hospitals and schools"? AloeVera Aug 2025 #12

There's this from when Biden was president EdmondDantes_ Aug 2025 #14

Obviously that intelligence data was not validated by after-the-fact facts on the ground. AloeVera Aug 2025 #32

You say obviously, I say citation needed EdmondDantes_ Aug 2025 #33

Israel did lie. It lied about the advanced, multi-story, well-equipped "Command and Control Centre" it touted. AloeVera Aug 2025 #43

So I provided evidence of non-Israeli sources and that's not enough EdmondDantes_ Aug 2025 #79

Intelligence is not evidence and neither is a 10+year old questionable article with low journalistic standards. AloeVera Aug 2025 #87

Oh the irony! Beastly Boy Aug 2025 #98

Why are you denying the existence of operational bases and other military assets under hospitals and schools? Beastly Boy Aug 2025 #17

They also claim that Israel had a "starvation plan" in place in October 2023. lapucelle Aug 2025 #28

That's crazy JustAnotherGen Aug 2025 #36

Hamas is desperate. The Arab League very publicly turned its back last week lapucelle Aug 2025 #41

I'll ask you too. writerJT Aug 2025 #81

I hope you realize how batshit incredulous your analogy is. Hamas would never get anywhere near a Tel Aviv hospital Beastly Boy Aug 2025 #90

Just as I thought. writerJT Aug 2025 #94

Considering the merits of your post, what else did you expect? Beastly Boy Aug 2025 #100

The Argument just doesn't make sense JustAnotherGen Aug 2025 #104

It wasn't even an argument. Beastly Boy Aug 2025 #106

That person is just very good at writerJT Aug 2025 #109

That's kind of harsh don't you think? JustAnotherGen Aug 2025 #110

The "human shield" argument is BS. writerJT Aug 2025 #80

If that were to happen JustAnotherGen Aug 2025 #99

Nope. writerJT Aug 2025 #105

Disagree JustAnotherGen Aug 2025 #107

We know who is doing the writerJT Aug 2025 #108

Excuse me JustAnotherGen Aug 2025 #111

A simple adherence to the laws of war would have been ample defense of civilians. Beastly Boy Aug 2025 #16

Then why have they not JustAnotherGen Aug 2025 #102

Probably in part because Netanyahu would continue murdering civilians regardless Orrex Aug 2025 #137

And yet Israel continues the slaughter of Gazans indusurb Aug 2025 #7

And yet, Hamas doesn't give a shit about Gazan civilians. Never did. Beastly Boy Aug 2025 #18

Hamas is like our KKK of our South. multigraincracker Aug 2025 #78

Hamas is partly made up of fathers whose children and wife's were murdered by Israel. womanofthehills Aug 2025 #126

I have 2 friends that are Christian Palestinians multigraincracker Aug 2025 #129

So, you are saying that the Israelis are bombing and shooting Gazan civilians and not Hamas. Intractable Aug 2025 #8

Not at all. The propblem is that their PRESENCE among civilians endangers them. Beastly Boy Aug 2025 #19

No not at all. Dead innocent Gazans clearly due to Israel's aggression. Intractable Aug 2025 #35

If one is in denial of Hamas aggression when they invaded Israel, Beastly Boy Aug 2025 #37

I deny no such things about Hamas. To say so is foolishness. Intractable Aug 2025 #39

How did the discussion shift from "Israel to "Jews"? lapucelle Aug 2025 #42

Good question mcar Aug 2025 #52

I know how... Oopsie Daisy Aug 2025 #60

The masks are off. lapucelle Aug 2025 #65

Yes, you quite literallt denied such thing. Read the header of your post 35. Beastly Boy Aug 2025 #51

I think you don't know what the hell you are talking about and are trying to split hairs over language. Intractable Aug 2025 #67

I am tired of repeating that ad hominem attacks are against DU terms of service. Beastly Boy Aug 2025 #68

You are at odds with Hamas then JustAnotherGen Aug 2025 #113

We are all at odds with Hamas. Shame on you for thinking I think otherwise. Intractable Aug 2025 #114

That's really JustAnotherGen Aug 2025 #115

How dare you think I side with Hamas! Piss off. Intractable Aug 2025 #117

I didn't say that JustAnotherGen Aug 2025 #118

That's the smartest, most appropriate thing you've said here. Intractable Aug 2025 #121

Perhaps you'll grow out of it. Intractable Aug 2025 #123

Yes, Hamas is nowhere to be found while the IDF is shooting innocent people seeking food Prairie Gates Aug 2025 #10

The problem is that Hamas is to be found only among civilians. Beastly Boy Aug 2025 #20

Yahoo is a war criminal too! GreenWave Aug 2025 #64

How little we've heard about Hamas, and anything, at all, they've actually done to help Palestinians dlk Aug 2025 #11

Are you suggesting that Hamas -- whatever is left of it -- Martin Eden Aug 2025 #13

No, Hamas - whatever is left of it - can release the hostages and disarm. Beastly Boy Aug 2025 #22

Perhaps Martin Eden Aug 2025 #26

That's a whole different issue. Beastly Boy Aug 2025 #29

On the contrary, it's inextricable Martin Eden Aug 2025 #30

In this context, the Netanyahu government is immaterial. Beastly Boy Aug 2025 #34

Long term goals can be loosely defined as desired outcomes, but plans are more immediate Martin Eden Aug 2025 #49

"Zionist ethos" is entirely ideological, and it doesn't identify land parcels except in very general terms. Beastly Boy Aug 2025 #70

The 2-state solution as a negotiated settlement is glaringly impractical Martin Eden Aug 2025 #73

The answer to your question is yes. We have a precedent. Beastly Boy Aug 2025 #74

Netanyahu himself has said the hostages are not his top priority . . . markpkessinger Aug 2025 #116

I don't excoriate on demand. Beastly Boy Aug 2025 #125

That is obvious enough . . . markpkessinger Aug 2025 #134

Do you expect me to gratuitously excoriate whoever you decide I should excoriate on demand? Beastly Boy Aug 2025 #136

There is only one entity that has the power to end the war IMMEDIATELY and UNILATERALLY: HAMAS lapucelle Aug 2025 #31

It has been the power of Israel... ShadesOfBlue Aug 2025 #45

You don't even have the date right. lapucelle Aug 2025 #53

They could immediately stop the war. betsuni Aug 2025 #63

I feel like this is almost universally understood. Oneironaut Aug 2025 #15

It is not pointless. Beastly Boy Aug 2025 #23

Unfortunately I don't think that it is EdmondDantes_ Aug 2025 #25

You mean "freedom fighters". nt LexVegas Aug 2025 #21

You can't help but notice that just 8% of Democrats support Israel's military campaign in Gaza Rob H. Aug 2025 #72

Quite the post! AloeVera Aug 2025 #89

The U.S. hasn't shown up to protect the Gazans. It funds their abuse. LuvLoogie Aug 2025 #77

I think that's pretty obvious to most people here. Crunchy Frog Aug 2025 #82

The IDF shows up to slaughter civilians. denbot Aug 2025 #83

Hamas is suicidal IronLionZion Aug 2025 #103

They're not suicidal, they're martyrcidal. LeftInTX Aug 2025 #127

They want to die. They knew this would be the response after their horrible attack. IronLionZion Aug 2025 #131

But they aren't killing themselves. LeftInTX Aug 2025 #132
