The commander of the IDF’s 98th Division said he would work on evacuation plans “if and when” he is told to launch an invasion.
A Hamas police vehicle was struck in Gaza’s southern city of Rafah on Wednesday evening in what Palestinian media reported as a targeted assassination by the IDF.
According to the reports, Hamas police’s special forces head, Majdi Abd al-Aal, was killed in the suspected attack.
Israel has ‘no plans’ for minimizing Gazan casualties in Rafah
Israel has no concrete plans to minimize civilian deaths in Rafah in the case the IDF decides to launch an offensive into the southern Gaza city, CNN reported on Wednesday, citing a top Israeli military commander.
🤔
Isn’t that Hamas police just above ground civilian patrol units? The picture is of a police car above ground. This does not look important
I mean they killed basically the chief of police. A position of power that could take charge in case all other members of Hamas are removed. It’s not to say he was particularly important but it’s a great way to make it so that they have absolutely no leaders to look to in Palestine which can make it more easily get the civilians away from Hamas leadership or make them easier to squash. Both are true and it is what it is in war.

The place where 2 million people live has a government. Shock.

They elected them and in recent polling generally support them, especially for doing the October 7th attack

Weird, your sources seem to be missing the events in late 1947 that led up to the formulation and execution of Plan Dalet. All cases of the Arab League threatening mass genocide of Jews and conclusive evidence of the Arab League having deep ties to Nazi Germany also seem to be mysteriously absent. 🤔
Those are both revisionist histories that got debunked from the declassified archives of the Israeli Military, especially when cross referenced with Arab Sources.
The Nakba preceeded the arab-israeli war
Plan C, that preceded Dalet, was implemented in May 1946, and previous plans (A and B) that were more recon oriented (such as detailing the village/town layouts, which if any officials to kill, how many militia was in each town, how many if any weapons the militias had) were developed earlier. This goes back to the concept of transfer in Zionist thought which I linked. As well as the declassified info I also linked.

The wiki on Amin Husseini and Azzam Pasha also show the revisionism in your source. After his expulsion, Amin’s influence continued to dwindle. His antisemitism was never popular. It’s no wonder why his personal Holy War Army only had about 1500, while over 12000 Palestinians fought alongside Jewish forces against Nazi Germany
If you want a more accurate account of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict you should look towards the New Historians that emerged once documents about the founding of Israel became declassified
The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine - Rashid Khalidi
The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine - Ilan Pappe
A History of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict - Mark Tessler
I mean, I don’t support any of the violence occurring, especially not the violence of displacing Palestinians into ghettos and definitely not Oct. 7th, however if you were displaced into a ghetto and lived in constant fear of being bombarded by the IDF, I’d support whatever group of people with guns that said they would fight the group of people trying to kill me. They’re caught between a rock and hard place with no options. You go with your best option given the circumstances.
“I don’t condone violence, I just make excuses for it”
Disgusting.
Any violence towards civilians is unacceptable. You can condemn those actions by Hamas and still recognize that the occupied have an international right to fight back against their occupiers.
Israel has made peaceful resolution impossible, non violent protests against the occupation are responded with lethal force
“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”
“I don’t condone violence, I just make excuses for it”
Disgusting.
They even collect taxes. Every time you hear Gaza Official, thats Hamas

So the Palestinian equivalent of the taliban, got it.
The Taliban, Hamas, and Bibbi can all get fucked.
The CCP is effectively the government of China and they have been caught operating police stations in the US and Canada
How cute, Israel calls itself a democracy while being an apartheid, eg. Laws that only apply to Palestinian citizens.
Hey they hit an actual target this time!
Spoiler alert, they were all targets that they hit. At least to them.

It bears repeating you can be anti facisim AND anti terrorism. Plus I’m fairly certain the forced removal of a population is just one of many traits of a genocide.

Can I assume you are saying - since other countries refuse to accept them, it must be acceptable to commit genocide? How do you feel about the voyage of the damned (1939), where 937 mostly Jewish refugees were turned away in the Americas? All had to return to Europe, 255 died in the war, many in the death camps.
Removed by mod
Thanks for the clarification. So it needs to be a neighbouring country which refuses entry. I wasn’t able to find any evidence of neighbours of Nazi Germany preventing entry to Jewish refugees but it seems odd all these desperate Jews would travel across the Atlantic to Cuba in the hopes of getting into USA. Couldn’t they go to Western Europe, be safe then continue to USA? Unless they were officially/unofficially not welcomed. All in my head and the Holocaust didn’t happen in 1939 so nothing to worry about.
According to Godwin’s law, you have lost the argument by having to make a comparison to Nazis.
Unless the comparison is apt. Godwin addendum below.

Good opinion piece. https://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-godwin-godwins-law-20180624-story.html
Lol that these Hamas apologists can’t make a single argument for their position based on it’s own merits. Have to resort to facetious Nazi comparisons which will never convince anyone.
Because Egypt is a dictatorship that doesn’t care about Egyptians or Palestinians. The general sisi accepted billions of dollars in bribes and therefore does what the US and Saudi want. (Saudi doesn’t like Hamas because they view it as related to Muslim Brotherhood and thus a threat to their monarchy)
But nice try trying to engage in Whataboutism.
The photo suggests IDF should be a kind of police. Manipulation at it’s best.💔
