Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel. 1400+ killed, 2400+ wounded, 240+ abducted. Israel declares war

Not open for further replies.
There are other Arabic nations out there who don't seem to hate Israel.
Because for a normal functioning government, there is no reason to hate Israel - it is literally a tech hub of the region. And it is becoming important for the trade route India-Europe. If any country wants development, it will support Israel.

THE DUCK

voted poster of the decade by bots
The Western world doesn't have solutions if that's the position. U.N. has been very supporting of Hamas and has ignored Israel almost since their inception as a nation in 1948. Not intent on twisting words, mind you...discussion boards are also to challenge sound response and...discussion. I joined the conversation of the thread on like page 9 but have been reading since page 1. All those who've been reading are well aware at this point who's in the right (Israel), who's just plain wrong (Hamas) and what possible solutions there are. Read all the posts of those who've already answered your questions 3 times over since yesterday. You're ignoring them and going back to the repetition: there's no solution for 'both sides'.

And I may not agree entirely with that consideration for solution because I myself have a bias. My personal bias is that all the lands should be retaken by Israel (West Bank & Gaza) post war. But I like that you actually participate in discussion without trying to cancel others out. That's sorta why some of us have been following this. We all want to see the outcome but we also want updates from ground zero for those of us not living in Israel.

You stated the history is long and just pause there for a moment. Go back to OPs post on the history of Israel dealing with rebellious nations fighting for the land which has been a heritage to Jews for far longer than 2 millennia. Now you say there are civilian losses on both sides. This both sides argument is a weak attempt to place Israel and Gaza on equal footing. You've already been told this by others but this is my last post if we're just going to go back to the "there are no solutions" or "both sides" rhetoric. And what you've been told: Israel is the victim of this. The innocent are the Jews in Israel who were attending a concert, eating breakfast at home and mind their own business who were brutally massacred, raped, tortured, taken hostage by Hamas terrorist and some palestine citizens who support the Islamic violence. Hamas then bombed their own hospital (blaming it on Israel) killing their citizens whereas on the contrary; Israel sent their own medical support in to assist Gaza patients at Al-Shifa hospital. Israel send warnings out over 2-weeks in advance before ground invasion. Yet Hamas shared social media videos of their 'children shields'. Israel has done everything from the start of this to minimize any collateral damage including protecting Gaza 'civilians' in their exit. Hamas saw IDF assisting in rescuing the 'innocent in Gaza' and started shooting anyone. Hamas has also been filmed attacking the 'innocent' to steal food, supplies and money being sent in by 'relief organizations'. When you say civilian losses on both sides, don't even attempt to insinuate that anyone more than Hamas has been killing their own. For a war, IDF has proven with numbers the minimum level of casualties but they've lost plenty of their own. I get updates daily on IDF soldiers or Israeli hostages who have been killed. This IS NOT two-sided and everyone knows that.

There is one side and that's Israel decimating Hamas.

And for solutions let me put this close to home if you're truly interesting in knowing. If you had a cult group of violent members living in your neighborhood who'd kidnapped your wife, tossed grenades over your fence to attempt to kill you and yet all the while...you were paying for their electricity, gas, internet, water and infrastructure. Would you feel that as a two-sided situation? Now you know what it's like to be an Israeli and why all solutions are hard solutions but if you've really read history. Read who has won nearly every one of these wars against Israel. The Jews of Israel have almost always been the victor for hundreds of years and they will be again. Once war ends, solution begins. Again, this is discussion and you jumped into the thread stating there's no solution. You have your answers and I'm done here. Have a good one.

Your completely ignoring the fact that regardless of righteousness, or even need, this is still going to repeat.

Your right, it's a solution, but one that will still end badly. That was my point. Gladly be wrong, like I said. It's not a position of condemnation like your taking it, it's a position grounded in you can't win a true long term peace either way.

To me the biggest tragedy is that is seems every country around Gaza doesn't like them and wont let them in their borders. They got to be the most disliked 2M people on Earth that even when a country is counterattacked by leveling buildings and there's tons of civilians looking for safe haven, the countries still block them from coming over.
It's not really a tragedy when you understand that no one hates Muslims more than other Muslims

The countries who've allied their business with Israel would also agree with this. Israel is not just a tech hub for those looking to develop but seems very growth oriented. This is one of many reasons why so many nations envy or hate Israel. Those without the knowledge, infrastructure or power to develop tend to think that they'll gain all of this if they conquered Israel. We all know what that would look like though. The borders of Israel paint a picture of how religion and lack of progress driven innovation make them look like they are...nothing compared to Israel.

You say ignoring but that's not the case. You're declaring it to be fact that things will repeat and seem to be unwilling to accept nor read into Israel's history yourself. The only thing repetitive are your posts. Please stop quoting me.

Well, the problem is you're masking what it is you want to say. You like your mantra of 'everything repeats' but you turn around and cancel discussion when asked to elaborate further. Several in this thread have already asked you: what is your position? Both sides? Because I agree with you on one point, you wrote: "gladly be wrong..." which sounds like blissful ignorance. This is tedious and if you're going to insist on quoting me back; answer the questions because the mantra is old and you're very clearly driving at something here. Just say whatever that is without constantly quoting me with copy + paste deviation. You hinted it's not a position of condemnation then derail again. Again, what's the solution according to you?

Hilarious that you are allowed to quote me unrestrained bit I'm not "allowed" to do likewise, I'm done here. You can even have a discussion without it devolving into finger pointing and accusations, you clearly have an agenda. I already clearly stated I have no solution, yet you keep asking for it as if your solution is fact.

Like wow, come into a thread saying "peace doesnt seem likely" in a region ripe with a history full of war and violence, where the cycle is repeating, and you get basically attacked for saying the obvious? Ok, bye.

What if I told you that Emir Faisal, didn't even consider Palestinians as Arabs.

But it's not just that. In the last few decades, a few countries did receive thousands of Palestinian refugees, only to regret it, because they were a source of political instability.
One example was Kuwait, that eventually found out that the Palestinian refugees they received, were collaborating with Saddam Hussein in the invasion.
So as expected, Kuwait expelled Palestinian refuges and now refuses to receive any.

I'm unsure that'll happen on U.S. soil. The FBI's been quiet on all this but they know which individuals in the U.S. for the sake of speaking are 'on watch'. I wouldn't doubt some have been pulled aside from the riots & mobs for private meets. If they were to do this though, there'll then be no excuse for anyone defending them and every Westerner with half-a-mind will understand what Israel's dealing with. Not sure it'd take as long as it did for Bin Laden. I mean, that rat fled to several basement hiding places and managed to live free several years before the SEALS got him. U.S. intelligence knows who the top leaders are of Hamas and UN is protecting them. If they weren't so involved (the UN) themselves; they would have stopped sending money over and protecting them with buzzwords like "Islamophobia" to cancel any criticism.

Underestimating our enemies is what got us 9/11...



"Border Patrol sources tell me they have extreme concerns about who is coming into the country because they have little to no way of vetting people from these special interest countries. I’m told unless they have committed a crime previously in the US, or they are on some sort of federal watchlist, there’s no way to know who they are because most of their home countries don’t share data/records with the US so there is nothing to match a name to when BP agents run fingerprints.
A special interest alien is a term used by the U.S. government to refer to people coming from countries that have conditions that favor or harbor terrorism, or pose a potential national security to the U.S."

Thanks for adding the text at the bottom, I don't have X/Twitter. I believe it's possible too but really hope security has improved since. Problem I see in this is that if they're illegal, it'd be difficult to stop an attack in planning without knowing who's where. This both ground borders?

I'll see what I can do to help these guys out. This most certainly isn't protected freedom of expression though. This is vandalism, harassment and anti-Semitism. The two former are punishable by law. Anti-Semitism ought be dealt with much more harshly.

I think people like this should be seriously punished - because only that way they can learn that their actions have consequences. It feels like people treat anti-semitism a joke or a flash mob.
I'll put it out there. I connected with the co-owner this morning. They do have the three locations but are very small. Many of these small businesses in NYC don't really feel protected. They're probably not going to publish action on social. If he (the co-owner) happens to share with me their stance on this or if the person is identified; I'll ask permission before sharing. You don't attack small businesses, that gets personal with me. You especially don't dare spread this anti-Semitic garbage into a respectful establishment.

The people treating like a joke will soon find the joke's on them with legal action, termination from employers, removal from Universities and public shame. Nazis never outlived what they did post WWll. Neither will these 'people'.

Thought I'd share this. A business colleague (I won't dox him but it's his words in the quote) shared this in my network this morning. Many Israelis have been very opaque to also state that Hamas is pretty much ISIS. That's a fairly accurate way of putting Hamas.

"To those who attempt to brand Israel as the aggressor… Listen up please.

We often hear about the unequal balance of deaths in the war between Israel and Hamas-ISIS. Many more Palestinians are usually killed. This is used to paint Israel as the aggressor and as evil. But no one ever explains why the casualty rates are so disparate. It’s because while Hamas-ISIS has built an underground network of tunnels to hide in and to fight from, mostly in residential neighborhoods, Israel has built bomb shelters and mandated safe rooms across the country to protect the people of Israel.

In preparing for war with sophistication and ample resources, Hamas-ISIS built hundreds of underground tunnels and stockpiled food, water, fuel and medical supplies — for itself. It built no infrastructure to protect its people or collect supplies to sustain them. No air raid shelters or general access to tunnels were planned. No essentials were prepared. Since the war started, Hamas-ISIS has only aggravated its people’s suffering.

The intellectual arguments around this conflict appear to mostly involve an attempt to prove who has suffered more. The implication being, that if you've suffered more, you can't be criticized for trying to inflict more suffering on the enemy, so that finally they suffer more than you do. This is not right.

People might be appalled by the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, but their outrage is misplaced. Hamas-ISIS invites tragedy upon its citizens, and progressive America (and Europe) plays into its hands. No country should ever have to face the moral quandary that Israel faces.

YOU are going to be the next victim if you won’t help Israel and support its efforts to eradicate Hamas-ISIS. Mark my words. Israel is forever."

Yes indeed. Last night I gave a lecture and brought up those who paint Israel as the enemy (to demonstrate a demoralization in society which lauds perpetrators and makes victims the oppressor; i.e. -- socialism). Had I seen this sooner I would have shared this too.

If the Palestinians renounced violence and truly wanted peace it would happen but if Israel did that they would be wiped off the map. This is the difference. War is never nice or pretty but we have to look at which side started the war and which side wants to keep it going.

There's a key difference here though. Israel doesn't have blood on their hands, so they'd have nothing to renounce and history shows that they cannot/will not be wiped off the map. I understand what you're saying though if it were regarding what the UN keeps pushing which is for permanent ceasefire. The thing is, if you read back even over the past 16-years you'll see that there's been plenty of tension in the West Bank & Gaza against Israel. Palestinians (which I hesitate to call given they live in a fictitious nation) had plenty of evidence that extremist leaders wanted the events of the 7th of October to take place years ago. However, rather than renounce that violence, they voted on it and elected Hamas into power. Therefore, let them eat war. They don't want peace.

People don't understand that, it is impossible to appeal to emotions because again - for them Palestinians are "underdeveloped" and thus "always a victim". It is a form a racism in a way - treat them like lesser humans that require protection and don't know what they are doing.

Israel should just win, erase Hamas, learn a lesson that there is no peace with those who wants to eradicate you and then it will be over.

This goes beyond Gaza/Israel and religions butting heads.

IMO, anytime groups of people in crap situations vent theyll blame anyone but themselves. It’s always another group are oppressors or the gov sucks etc…. In this case they can’t say Hamas sucks or else their own shady leaders will kick the crap out their own people.

Somehow they are always cool chill people and everyone else are ultimate draconian overlords trying to pin them down as if every one of the 8 billion people on earth really cares enough to spend 24/7 thinking about them. But hey it happens… too bad for them their own Hamas pins them down and they seem so volatile no countries around them want to give them a break like refugee status by the busload.

Think of it like an employee from a shady company. The guy thinks every company is discriminatorily black listing him, but in reality if he’s a shady dude from a company with a sketchy past. So forget it. Not worth the risk hiring the guy. Hire him and in the first week he might do and say dumb shit to everyone else on the floor. No thanks. It’s the safer play to hire someone with no potential baggage.

That's pretty much the answer and solution without having to dive into every possible detail. It was exhaustive attempting to have discussion with a member on this the other day who refused to offer anything. Probably nothing more annoying that people who love to point at the problems but never offer a solution.

To the former, that's sorta how the media twisted this war from the get-go. The majority of the Western public seemed to know very little about 'palestinians' (such as -- who/what they are, where they're located, that they don't live in a nation recognized by the world). After the shock of the initial terrorist attacks on the 7th; that's when the media basically sold people 'who didn't know who the occupants of Gaza were' as these depraved victims. This, in turn was used the same way socialists always twist things...attack those who have more (i.e. -- Israelis and pretty much all successful Jews). Those who rightfully had power but were indeed actually victims of a heinous act of terrorism (Israelis) were immediately exploited as the enemy. This has of course also led to this being a two-sided war with people claiming 'they're both victims' or 'both sides are bad'. It is racism. People hate the Jews now. Anti-Semitism had seemingly gone away in Western nations too before all this. We can see now that's clearly not the case and people will pay for participating in anti-Jew / anti-Israeli propaganda or violence.

I would argue that nothing has gone away - and will never go away. Remove police and electricity - and it will become stone age quite fast. Hate, desire to kill etc. did not go away. It is just the laws make people afraid of the punishment - the moment the idea of the punishment goes away (as we saw with all those Hamas supporters), people literally return to barbaric ways. Hell, Libya literally got slave markets after the collapse...

Devastating. 3 kidnapped Israeli men managed to either escape or were let go by their captors in Gaza, unsure. But IDF saw them as suspicious and shot them dead. This is what war creates, awful scenarios. This is all on Hamas and the hate the espouse.

I'm just devastated, there's no good news anymore.

Sorry if it sounded as if I was saying it went away. I said 'seemingly'. It was taboo and for awhile it seemed most had learned this was wrong. That's why this was key to teach about the terrors of anti-Semitism in schools back in the day which reached their previous height during WWll. They've been there but only radical groups like KKK (or similar groups_ were outspoken about hatred against the Jews in the West for the longest time. You see it everywhere now though. People you thought you could trust in entertainment, sports or even 'friends' who turned out to be anti-Semitic but kept quiet till just recently. I think the laws of punishment will return once Israel wins this. Despite what the UN may try to do to prevent that.

Wow. This really sucks. Sounds like Hamas set them out into an area where they knew this would happen too. IDF is fighting one of the most disgusting enemies I've ever heard of. The very fact that Hamas dress as civilians or anything really to blend in to attack would make it difficult for them to discern properly on this. Especially given how quickly a target can get without a visible weapon and yet have a bomb hidden under clothing only to detonate in close proximity. Really is a casualty of war and sorry to hear this. But you are correct. This is all on Hamas for the atmosphere of terror they've created.

I’m pretty sure Jews have the first place locked as a nation that suffered the most through history.

And the immediate argument people will throw will be: "They are more developed than Palestinians, so they are less of victims".

It is not even about who is a bigger victim - the goalpost will move towards - "yeah they may be suffered but it was long time ago, it does not count". Here the only solution is winning and then everybody will shut up - because by winning Israel will support from all the arabian countries at once. And media will pivot.

This is precisely why the argument fails intellectually. The only way to phrase it in a manner that accurately reflects the liberal perspective is by saying liberals support those who have suffered more during their own lifetime. Consequently, more liberals are young.

It' not just about the Jews, but the whole European history.
When it comes to condemning Empires, there is a strange cutoff around the 16th century, which is when several European Empires started. Such as Portugal And Spain. Followed by France, Britain, Belgium, etc.
But just a couple of century earlier, the Mongol Empire was some committing the biggest massacres in human history. And probably the biggest in percentage of world population, at the time.
Or that the Ottoman Empire was concurrent to several of these European Empires. They even had major wars with the Portuguese Empire.
Despite all these Empires having collapsed today, only the Europeans are criticized for it.

Agreed. It's a further example of recency bias. Of course, some amount of recency bias is healthy - we don't go around judging people by medieval moral standards, even though that era lasted a thousand years and we've only been out of it for roughly five hundred. So the question is: "where do you pass the line between present history and old history that no longer affects present day conflicts?" And obviously there isn't a uniform answer to that, it depends on the region and the conflict.

When you include the middle east it becomes not just about European history either, but Islamic and Arab history and even more, depending on how far back you want to go.

I imagine that sooner or later most of the conflicts in Eastern Europe, Asia, South America and North Africa will be sorted, and then we'll get to figuring out the conflicts deep within Africa. Those probably have the longest history.
 
I'd argue China. Its whole history is basically thousands of years of "Jing Yang Ping rises to power. Millions perish. Civil war."
Well, chinese scale has always been quite big - they literally european level wars thousand years before. I remember the quote that europe did not reach chinese scale of wars and conflicts (with death toll) until 18th century or something.
 
This is what I keep saying, the only way forward is for Palestinians and their "allies" to move the fuck on. Like literally every refugees in the world did. Like Jews did themselves when they forced out of every fucking country. We moved the fuck on.
Exactly. I loved that Maher video as well. Not that it ultimately matters now, because the decision to form Israel was a long time ago and no one in charge of anything today had anything to do with that decision, but what was the plan when it came to Arab homes in the original plans for Israel?

Were people to be moved off their land without compensation? Were Arabs welcomed to stay in their homes, if they could accept Jewish people now controlling the area where they live? People like to throw around the words "colonizers" and "ethnic cleansing" as if Muslims haven't done an absolute ton of that themselves, but again, what was the original plan for the people living in the area that would become Israel? I'd like to learn more about that.

I have to say that after the events of this weekend my faith in the IDF is shaken. How can we claim to know the difference between Hamas and civilians if we can't even recognize our own hostages crying out in Hebrew and waving a white flag?

Yeah, I don't know what's going on there, but we've been fighting for two months and I'm not sure where we are now at this stage. I said from the getgo our leaders are weak and I thought everyone in charge on 10/7 should have resigned and let someone else take over, you can't run a mission with failed leadership.

2m arabs are living in Israel today, enjoying a much better economic life than any other Arab nation in the area.

Bringing their hatred filled baggage against a Jewish restaurant guy half way around the world. That sure makes sense. No wonder other countries surrounding Gaza dont let them freely cross into their borders.

Let's face it. There's some people and religions who are chill and get along with others. And there's are some that are loud and antagonizing. That's life. No different than neighbours or people at work. You just pray that you got cool people to be around and not jackasses. Lucky for me, everyone I know is chill at work and my suburban neigbourhood of mixed cultures is too.

Holistically, for anyone who wants to avoid potential volatile mob protests, just move to the burbs. Not only is traffic a lot better and you get zero tent cities and drugged up bums looking for money, but big loud protests typically dont congregate in low density areas with few people, or little businesses or government buildings around. The mobs usually amass in dense areas, major intersections, a downtown hub or in front of a major government building.

The footage of the killing of this man on Twitter is some of most brutal inhuman shit I’ve ever seen. None of the killers is wearing anything that points to them being from Hamas. They look like civilian Palestinians.

Joshua Mollel, 21, was a Tanzanian student who had been working as an agricultural intern at a kibbutz near Israel’s border with Gaza on Oct. 7, Tanzanian officials said.
