JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that Israel would “crush and destroy” Hamas in response to its attack.
Netanyahu said every Hamas member was a “dead man.”
Netanyahu made the remarks in a late-night televised address as Israeli planes pounded Gaza in response to the unprecedented attack.
And not just the Hamas, but the women and children too
58The sick fuck literally called Palestinians animals the other day.
41That kind of language really isn't that uncommon from Likud members. They very often use language and threaten "solutions" which are alarmingly similar to what the Nazis said about the Jews.

Maybe it's about time to suggest to Israel that, instead of spending all that money on bombs and missiles, that gas chambers would be more cost effective.

eventually they'll be claiming they're the good guys while wearing these uniforms.28
What he really means: ethnic cleansing of all Palestinians.

It's easy to call the people you don't like "terrorists" after you put them in the world's largest open air prison, allow them no voice in their governance, deny them basic human necessities, and they predicably act out of desperation .
What's hard, and the right thing, is the force holding the bigger gun exercising restraint in their response.
But we're sending two aircraft carriers to back up that already far superior force as they punch down and possibly do a genocide. No amount of conditional soup makes organized religion worth the continuous, murderous madness it brings.
If you're willing to kill real people or die for an imaginary friend, you're the problem.
31Hamas people literally shot-up a music fest, murdering a whole lot of civilians, kidnaping even more. Where would you draw the line before calling them terrorists?

Maybe when they're no longer perpetual prisoners. When you make hope impossible, you make vengeance an alluring alternative.
The US was founded on revolting against hilariously less tyranny than this. If you were a Palestinian watching your oppressor host lavish concerts for their children as yours starve, would you tell them that peaceful resignation is the only option?
There are no good guys in this conflict, only slightly varying degrees of dehumanization, cruelty, and violence.
If Israel or Palestine wanted peace, either or both of them should become secular states. But neither values peace. They both value believing they're some imaginary god's soldiers in some stupid imaginary soul war. Human life > anyone's stupid ass religion. If they want to pray to Pikachu at 2am hopping on one leg except on Saturday nobody cares, but making your fantasy other people's problem at gunpoint makes you wrong, every time. It is no less insane than shooting a d&d dungeon master in the chest with a gun because you lost your buff roll. It's bonkers that we support any theocracy, let alone one proud theocracy over another.

Think the carriers are mostly there more to say “nobody else get involved” and help prevent this from becoming a wider conflict.

Some of the takes that I've seen on this are bizarre.
You can hate that Hamas has murdered innocent civilians, and you can ALSO hate that Israel has murdered innocent civilians.
Some of us are just genuinely disgusted by the sheer amount of innocent people dying. It's terrible, and nothing anyone says will ever make me believe that those innocent people deserved to die like that. Some of them only have the "crime" of being born there.
I'm not from the US, but it irks me to see so many people calling anyone from there a hypocrite for being upset over it, solely because of the United States' previous involvement. Many of the people commenting are probably not the same people who wanted to join the war back then. Many of the people commenting may have not been old enough to vote for the government at the time. Millions of people are not one single homogeneous life form. Every person has their own mix of thoughts, feelings, experiences, emotions, hopes, and dreams. These things help fuel how they see the world around them. No two peoples stories are exactly alike.
28As a USA citizen we suffer from a culture of "blind patriotism and stupidity." A lot of people believe anything the USA did in the past is right because the USA did it. A lot of people believe all other nations are inferior, living in the USA it is very easy to be isolated from other nations. I personally find it easy to write nonsense on Lemmy from the safety of my couch.
11In this logic no country can ever be retaliated against for acts of war and their war crimes. Israel should just sit back and allow their people to be killed. They won't do that and as far as most of the world sees it as Hamas representing the area. Why should we hold Israel to a higher moral standard than anyone attacking them?

Translation: Palestinian families and children will die.
22Yeah, somehow I doubt that Mossad will go after the leaders hiding in Qatar. And that's not because they can't, there are a lot of Nazis who could vouch for their capabilities when it comes to assassinate people in other countries.

Dude, you funded Hamas. They're your own employees.
21Fund extremists to prevent the Palestinians from getting their shit together and making headway towards their own state and then act surprised when said extremists backfire hard.
And of course, it's innocent civilians on both sides that pay the price.

I imagine one major reason they cut electricity to Gaza is to make sure cell towers are dead and phones lose charge so there's less evidence coming out of the crimes against humanity they're planning to commit.
10Oh Natty. Just shut up.

8This is the best summary I could come up with:
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu joined with a top political rival on Wednesday to create a war-time Cabinet overseeing the fight to avenge a stunning weekend attack by Hamas militants.
In the sealed-off Gaza Strip ruled by Hamas, Palestinian suffering mounted as Israeli bombardment demolished neighborhoods and the only power plant ran out of fuel.
Medical teams and rescuers struggled to enter other areas where roads were too destroyed, including Gaza City’s al-Karama district, where a “large number” were killed or wounded, according to the Hamas-run Interior Ministry.
The risk of the war spreading was evident Wednesday after the Iranian-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah fired anti-tank missiles at an Israeli military position and claimed to have killed and wounded troops.
Hamas said it launched its attack Saturday because Palestinians’ suffering had become intolerable under unending Israeli military occupation and increasing settlements in the West Bank and a 16-year-long blockade in Gaza.
