Hamas attacks Israel
- Thread starter Serryah
- Start date
Or in the disastrous Afghan withdrawal
SUre there is. A long list of terrorist attacks by Hamas. Release the hostages, and Israel might let up on the bombing. Until that happens there must be no stopping or the terrorists will just get bolder.
You're assuming Israel gives a damn about the hostages.
They don't and haven't since day 1. All they are, is the excuse for Israel to continue this genocide.
But I do agree, the hostages need and needed to be released months ago.
How so? Based upon what?
From the river to the sea, etc…
On this last sentence I agree with you.
Still buying the remove Hamas propaganda? It's not about removing Hamas, it's about removing everyone.
I asked a simple question of someone that stated something as a fact. Curious about the answer.
The statement was that Israel did not care about their own people being held hostage since day one. Was curious to know how that statement of fact was arrived at & what it was based on.
How they've killed their own hostages.
How they've done nothing but drop bombs on places they could be kept, instead of going in with smaller, precision teams.
How the families of the hostages even know that they're doing nothing to get those remaining free, and how the Government is ignoring everything they're saying.
What else do you need?
Yep, and Israel has said it too, and other things.
But then Israel has admitted to genocide too, just like Hamas has, so...
If Bibi doesn't want a two state option that leaves Palestinians where? Utopia?
The propaganda Putin uses about denazifying the Donbass is the same as Israel deHamasing Gaza.
What's the death toll?
Well kids Bibi got his wish. Iran is preparing for an "unprovoked" attack on Israel...

WASHINGTON, April 5 (Reuters) - The United States is on high alert and preparing for a possible attack by Iran targeting Israeli or American assets in the region in response to Israel's strike on the Iranian embassy in Syria, a U.S. official said on Friday.
"We're definitely at a high state of vigilance," the official said in confirming a CNN report that said an attack could come in the next week.
Suspected Israeli warplanes bombed Iran's embassy in Damascus on Monday in a strike that killed an Iranian military commander and marked a major escalation in Israel's war with its regional adversaries.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has said that seven Iranian military advisers died in the strike, including Mohammad Reza Zahedi, a senior commander in its Quds Force, which is an elite foreign espionage and paramilitary arm.
Iran has said it reserves the right "to take a decisive response."
U.S. President Joe Biden discussed the threat from Iran in a phone call on Thursday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Do the Palestinians want a two state solution? What’s happened with every (so far as I know…) proposal for a two state solution so far?
Ask the Hamas Health authority. They’ll give you a number.
Yup. They do. Stipulations for past 30 years have always been get out of the West Bank. Israel keeps saying "fuck you".
So the two state solution concept is only 30 years old then? Started about 1994-ish? So post-Arab Summit & pre-Camp David. Nothing before then?
Was the two state solution concept considered in the more than 1/2 century before 1994-ish and if so what prevented it? The first mention I can find a two state solution concept is the Peel commission, somewhat previous to 1994-ish.
They could become Israeli citizens. They would be much better off than under the thumb of muzzie crazies.
$12 million spent on policing demonstrations in Toronto since Oct. 7

Toronto Police has spent $12 million on policing over 500 demonstrations in the city since the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel, according to Deputy Chief Lauren Pogue.
And she reminded demonstrators that while they have the right to free speech it’s not without limitations and if they disobey the law they will be arrested.
“Our officers are well-versed in their authorities during demonstrations,” Pogue said at a Friday press conference at Toronto Police headquarters.
“When they take action, it is unacceptable to obstruct them or become aggressive towards them.”
Pogue said last weekend’s arrests of some protesters, which led to one group claiming police brutality on Monday, came because “despite our repeated warnings and cautions, some protesters on Saturday refused to cooperate or follow police directives. This culminated in physical aggression towards our officers.”
Pogue pointed out two people were arrested for assaulting police officers with weapons last Saturday and one more arrest was made this week – for spitting on an officer – and another person is being sought for striking a police horse.
“There are individuals consistently involved in these protests who act as agitators, and who are becoming increasingly confrontational and violent,” said Pogue.
Pogue said the way police have responded to these protests has remained the same and defended the use of police on horseback during last Saturday’s demonstration.
“Police horses are very effective – they effectively replace 10 officers and they work very well in managing crowd control and we’ve deployed them on a number of occasions,” she said.
“With respect to last weekend, we haven’t changed our posture at all but we did respond to what we were facing – a very hostile crowd who actually assaulted our officers, threw manure, assaulted a police horse.”
Police Chief Myron Demkiw issued a statement Friday afternoon in response to a letter signed by six Toronto councillors who questioned the police handling of protests last weekend.
Demkiw said he reaffirmed the public’s right to lawful assembly in the city, but warned that if individual behaviour crosses into criminality, endangering officers or the public, authorities will enforce the law.
“Last weekend alone, police officers were assaulted, spit on, a police horse was struck, lawful orders not followed, and demonstrators attempted to obstruct officers who were effecting arrests,” he said.
“All of these incidents are against the law and jeopardized the safety of the public and the officers. Arrests were made in these matters. Other demonstrators continued to exercise their freedom of expression and were always free to depart the area.”
On Sunday, Bloor West for Palestine is planning a demonstration starting at 2 p.m. at Federal Attorney General Arif Virani’s office at 1596 Bloor St. W. and ending at Christie Pits at Christie St.
“It’s imperative that Torontonians stand together,” said Pogue. “Turning against each other or resorting to violence towards fellow citizens and police is not the answer. We are here, in fact, policing in an unbiased way and all we can ask is for people to be respectful toward one another.”
