Hamas militant group has started a war that 'Israel will win,' [Israeli] defense minister says
Israel’s defense minister has announced that the Hamas militant group has started a war against Israel and pledged that “Israel will win.”
Israel's defense minister announced that the Hamas militant group has started a war against Israel and pledged that "Israel will win.”
Following a security cabinet meeting at the Israeli military headquarters in Tel Aviv, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant warned that Hamas “made a grave mistake” in launching barrages of rockets into southern and central Israel in its surprise morning attack.
In one of the most serious escalations in years between Israel and the militant group that rules Gaza, Hamas gunmen crossed the border fence at several places and infiltrated Israeli communities.
This isn't just rocket attacks. There are technicals driving throughout streets shooting civilians, hostages and houses burnt down. Reports of hundreds of people ariving at hospitals. Over 500 reported injured and 20 dead so far.
Not military targets. Not government facilities. People's homes and communities.
So innocent people like the Palestinians regularly murdered by Isreal soldiers?
Those are horrific as well, but it's simply not true that the IDF roams around Palestinian villages murdering every Palestinian they find, and you know that.
For starters, if they did, there wouldn't be very many left.
This childish need to see one side as unequivocally good and the other bad must be discarded or people find themselves cheering for citizens to murdered while waiting for the bus, and if you've gotten to that point, something has gone deeply wrong.
Are you really doing a whataboutism while there are literal terrorists shooting up households right now?
Holy shit dude you have no fucking soul.
I think we can all agree that this is a bad thing and a lot of people will die, regardless of ideology or affiliation. Let’s all start there.
They will win and then there will finally be peace in the region, right?

Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate Israel.

“started a war”
That’s rich.
The (world) news lemmy communities being true to their reddit influences by only posting about Israel and Palestine when it can be skewed as an unprovoked attack against the poor oppressed
racist settlerscivilian pariahsWhile Lemmy is rather small compared to that, "other" website. I would like to caution anyone reading comments pertaining to this horrible war that both sides likely have IT/hacking (whatever nomenclature) teams posting even here.
Anyone screaming, "support this side!" is a moron. Everyone dying right now, on both sides, have families. Any child or relative that loses a loved one will want revenge.
I have been a praciting Buddhist for nearly 2 decades, an despite that, if you needlessly killed a sibling of mine. Um, Dhammpada aside, this isn't over and we'll be in touch.
"WELL WHAT DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD DO THEN JACKASS!?!"
Oh, I don't know, maybe somehow get the UN and those, "peacekeeping" forces to actually do something? Nah, let's just cheer on the slaughter.
So if you want to champion either side in this, just state the concept of World War III kinda excites you, might add a little spice to your life, something exciting to watch online until it reaches your homeland.
It makes it easier to pick out the sociopaths, losers that way.
The important part is that you feel morally superior to both sides.
Edit: the person above me edited their comment. The original version was them rambling on about supporting any side being the equivalent of being excited for WW3.
I keep hearing from the River to the Sea on this site.... looks like Hamas is going to get their wish.
Netanyahu is going to use this attack as excuse to level the strip, wonder if Haifa will expand or if they'll bother to rebuild Hebron?
The Saudis are abandoning the Palestinians and joining the Abraham accord. Hamas has condemned the people of that region to death. This is terrible.

the other is secular(somewhat), democratic country.
That practices ethnic cleansing (this one is kinda dubious) and apartheid.
Both sides are really shitty, unfortunately. Hamas isn't Fatah - Hamas is a bunch of far-right theocratic loons who maintain an iron grip on the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip. Israel has, since the 1980s, become increasingly right-wing and ethnonationalist, putting Palestinians under a regime that treats them as second-class, at best, and treating them as nuisances to be removed for Israeli settlements.
It's clear from the footage coming out of southern Israel right now that the goal of Hamas is to simply kill as many Jews as possible. Either you stand with Israel right now or you stand with genocide. You can no longer claim ignorance of the crimes of Hamas if you associate yourself with the "#freepalestine" cause.
Critiscm of Israel and their treatment of Palestinians is not antisemitic. It is not supporting genocide. Take a look in the mirror.
Lol. Israel commits genocide daily. It's like Zionists read the Nazi's guide book to pogroms and concentration camps. Cry harder.
Given 20% of Israelis are Arabs, it's obvious you don't understand what genocide is. Hamas is currently performing pogroms in Israel, you've fallen victim to propaganda and your ignorance is clear.
I'm not crying either, and I won't be when Gaza gets turned to fucking glass this week and every single terrorist is blown away.
From the river to the sea, Israel will be free!
This take makes perfect sense if you have been paying attention for only the last twelve seconds of history
