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.

10 Myths of Israel
Hey Nazi Germany wouldn’t exist if they liked or bought Hitler’s art.
You might be right, but what’s your point? Even logically, there are no parallels to your statement and the ongoing issue in Palestine.
Actually Nazism wouldn’t exist if the treaty of Versailles wasn’t so punishing Germany economically. The Nazi party got its supporters of disgruntled citizens with the current hardships. And mind you a lot of the initial support of the party was by regular citizens who were viewing them as the only way out of this spiral of despair. There are plenty of articles on the internet explaining exactly this in case you are interested.
And guess what Israel is doing exactly now in both the West Bank and Gaza? Creating the same spiral of despair while calling themselves the good guys. And yes, Hamas probably also wouldn’t exist if Gazans and Palestinians were treated equally and with respect by Israel’s government. So like it or not the current status quo there only benefits the far right parties and Hamas.
And guess what else, this war in Gaza won’t bring any peace to the region, peace can only be brought if both sides are making compromises and in good faith are trying to reach a mutually acceptable long term solution, which I don’t see happening anytime soon. That’s why so many countries are pushing Israel to seek a two state solution, because this is the only way to some kind of sustainable peace, which your far right government so fervently refuse, because you know they can keep pressing Palestinians, bare them from any basic human rights and dehumanize them in their medias.
Because all these far right parties in Israel are toast without Hamas, they need an immediate threat to fuel the fear of their voters, the same way Hamas is toast without the far right government and parties in Israel.

Hamas was an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, with sheikh yassin as the ‘spiritual leader’ in 1987. Those links go over the Intifada’s and Hamas in detail.
The intifada was a massive protest against the occupation that was ongoing since 1967, so yes there would be no Hamas if there was no occupation.

I gave up weeks ago. Same with the genocide Joe shit. I internalized acceptance this morning after hearing Biden #s in Nevada. Veeeery vocal and astroturfing minority on here. This place doesn’t have the cultural identity I feel it purports.
People aren’t voting for Biden because of support for Israel, it’s for (rightful) fear of Trump.
It’s a single issue election, and the issue is Trump. Polling shows increasing support for Palestine and against Israel’s actions, even more so amongst Millennials and Gen Z who make up the majority of Lemmy users.
Yes, very thankful that US foreign policy isn’t dictated by chronically online Gen Zers.
Of course they were, but they also won an election

That they didn’t as you say “waltz in at gun point”. Just as the German people of the time had some responsibility for the rise of Hitler, so must the Palestinian people of today bear some responsibility for putting Hamas in power.
Hence my comments about Hamas’s popular support in polling.

Agreed but that isn’t weird. When’s the last time an American president had popular support while in power? 2009? They legally won an election, which means the Palestinian people put them in charge. There was no waltzing, at gunpoint or otherwise.
