#HamasGaza
This gives me the creeps in a way I cannot fully articulate, what are they rushing to DO in that time?
"Equally important, in most of its previous wars, Israel operated under tight time constraints, with its allies forcing it to cease fire within days or weeks." https://www.haaretz.co.il/magazine/2024-04-18/ty-article-magazine/.highlight/0000018e-eb6a-d7e3-a9bf-ff7f1c400000?gift=07009dff19ef4cf498b7b91abe5a022c #HaaretzHebrew (I'll post the original below)
Israel are urged to cease fire because they are fighting a much weaker opponent and after they've already exhausted every action that could be reasonably considered self defense, they just keep going into overkill "revenge" or to be unreasonably sympathetic to them "deterrent". But doing that does NOT reduce how much people will want to destroy Israel.
That article goes on. "But in the current war, given Hamas's murderousness, Israel was given many months by its allies to occupy Gaza, change the situation there to the best of its ability, release the hostages, and create an alternative order in the region."
But WHY did anyone give them the time to obliterate Gaza!? Within somewhere between a day and a fortnight Israel successfully fought off all the militants on their side of the Green Line and at that point it was time to stop shooting and exchange prisoners.
Stop shooting and exchange prisoners is what ant civilized nation would have done before the end of October 2023, or even any nation making a half hearted attempt at pretending. Even Russia exchanges prisoners with Ukraine.
But no, Israel of "quit while they're ahead" Israel kept going, until a lot of people who would have confidently answered that yes "Israel has a right to exist" are probably now changing their mind about this deranged rogue state.
Israel are not trying honestly to disarm Hamas, they're trying to exterminate Hamas, that's not self defense, that's genocide. When Hamas try to talk and Israel keep working through their kill list of tens of thousands of Palestinian Sunni Muslims, we really need to step back and look at what this is.
Even IF every person they killed was an adult man and a member of the Hamas movement, mass execution of tens of thousands of men is a genocidal extermination campaign. If someone wants to extrajudicially execute a group of tens of thousands of people, we really shouldn't take their explanation at all seriously.
Getötete deutsch-israelische Hamas-Geiseln im Familienkreis beigesetzt
Die in Geiselhaft der Hamas getöteten Mitglieder der Bibas-Familie sind in Israel beigesetzt worden. Zehntausende nahmen an einem Trauerzug teil. Die nächste Überführung getöteter Geiseln soll noch in der Nacht erfolgen.
