Israel Kills Hamas Leader

The Hamas leader's death is a significant blow to the militant group and its supporters -- and a major coup for Israel and its war in the Gaza Strip.

Well, now that top leadership in gone ... I wonder what their next move is? Probably a lot of infighting ...

For the pro-Hamasers here, half a cent will get you a dollar that Sinwar is still leader of Hamas on October 31st. polymarket.com

For some reason, payoff greatly increased about 5 hours ago.

"After more than a year of killing children and destroying buildings that will take 80 years to rebuild we got out guy" -IDF ... good on you, I think?

This is like a flashback of the US killing "number 2 in command"... over and over... how many did we kill before we lost those wars?

Great! And they only had to kill several thousand woman and children to get him!

Oh, well one-nut that makes the wholesale blowing up of women and children ok.

What about the ones gunned down by Israeli snipers?

They ok too?

Non linear results are not part of the IDF playbook.

Sinwar is not indispensable. The new guy will be harder and more implacable to deal with and the guy after that even more so.

Israel is slowly losing. They are being defeated by their own monstrous behavior and the Lies they tell Endlessly.

Like Apartheid South Africa they are the Past...

They don't know it fully yet.

But they Will....

Lol! He was top of the list. The guy who planned the October 7th attacks.

Great! And they only had to kill several thousand woman and children to get him!
#10 | Posted by Whatsleft

You know how it is. The terrorist mastermind is always hanging out in the last baby formula factory/maternity ward/kindergarten/orphanage you think of blowing up. Sinwar was probably providing lamaze lessons and lactation consulting to new and expectant mothers.

#16 | Posted by censored at 2024-10-17 04:17 PM

So you think with his death that's the end of it?

Like bin Laden and Saddam?

Seriously?

Again?

How many leaders does Hamas have?

Gotta keep lying to justify this genocide somehow.

This wont end until the last Palestinian has been murdered by IOF.

This guy was known to be surrounded by Israeli hostages taken on October 7. I guess the IDF assumed or knew these hostages were actually all dead, or decided to sacrifice any who were still alive, in the furtherance of the larger goal...

#17 | Posted by RightisTrite

Of course not. But his death is welcome. If anyone deserved to die for October 7th, it was Sinwar.

The end will come when Palestinians accept that they have lost multiple wars and they will not remove 8 million nuclear-armed Jews from the land that they claim. But the Palestinians have refused statehood and peace five times in the last 80 years because they are deluded into thinking that that loser dictates terms.

It certainly feels like shades of the US war on terror, all over again.
#20 | Posted by Whatsleft

Yeah, difference being that the Israelis understand that this is an existential struggle for them. And they know what they world has in store for them if they give up their homeland.

#22 | Posted by censored at 2024-10-17 05:06 PM

Vlad and Xi are the most disappointed that their Hamas Effort in the ME has been a failure so far; they are the biggest losers.

But they may, one or both, double down on pushing Iran into war with Israel... possibly during this US Election or the confusion of the aftermath thereof.

The British alone lost 2 million men carrying out FDR and Churchill's Plan to defeat Hitler in N. Africa, rather than having to having to do it in England or America.

It was all downhill after that for the Nazis as they were thrown out of Europe and pushed back from Russia... them being the now replaced as a military threat to Europe by Vlad's Invasions.

And our prize for winning was Israel, (some prize, right?)...

... who's job was, has been, and is to dominate N. Africa in our national security interests; not having to defeat Russia and or China there militarily.

It's through history been a major crossroads of power, and that's not changing anytime soon.

Although Russia and China both will make a deal with Trump if he is elected, and extend Trump's Abraham accords and bring, 'Peace'.
(see: Russia and China taking over the Mid East without firing a shot.)

So, the entire world wants Israel gone?

It's Israel vs the world?

But it's the world that's wrong?

You sure you're not a deplorable Trumping MAGAt?

You sound just like one of them.

if they give up their homeland.
#22 | POSTED BY CENSORED

They gave up their homeland when they relocated from Europe to the area now known as Israel.

Womp womp.

#24 | Posted by ClownShack at 2024-10-17 05:52 PM

There are relatively few people who can give Osama Bin Laden, Adolph Hitler, Pol Pot, Mao and Stalin a run for their money for pure hate filled ideologic evil. Yahya Sinwar was of that ilk. Nobody anywhere doubts but that he would have exterminated every last Jewish person alive not only in Israel, but also in the entire world, if he had had the chance. His hatred was pure and untethered.

#25 | Posted by moder8 at 2024-10-17 05:57 PM

Nobody anywhere doubts that Netanyahu will exterminated every last Palestinian alive not only in Israel, but also in the entire world, if he gets to continue. His hatred is pure and untethered.

Yep.

#26 | Posted by ClownShack at 2024-10-17 06:00 PM

Clownshack: I know we disagree and both have our own deeply and well thought out reasons why. Suffice to say without pointlessly engaging in an angry pissing match, I think you are making a false equivalence.

Hamas has been hated by most of Palestine's neighbors as much as Israel hated them.

"Four months of warfare between Israel and Hamas have generated regional and global dynamics that will shape the Middle East for decades. But the war in Gaza has already clarified two deeply linked central dimensions of the Middle East:

Arab states' low-key, rhetoric-heavy response to the Gaza war and Hamas, and the new reality that those who actually fight and resist Israel and the United States across the region are Arab non-state armed actors (NSAAs) with close ties to Iran.

These two symbiotic phenomena indicate how Arab states have become politically and militarily passive in the face of stronger adversaries " and hint at the future Middle East order if prevailing conditions persist."

Moder8,

Not sure many people realize this. But the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians didn't start last October 7th.

What changed last October 7th? Israel got a free pass to murder anyone they wanted. Israel stopped allowing the press to be present to report on the actions of IDF in Gaza, they escalated the war, they demand the world sit by while they murder a society of people who are under the age of 18. We're expected to turn a blind eye to the war crimes being committed. A blind eye to the increased violence in the West Bank.

I could continue. But it doesn't matter. You're clearly of the opinion Israel has the right to do whatever they want.

The history between Israel and Palestine be damned.

The loss of human lives seems to make a lot of you all giddy and delighted.

Posing with a child holding an assault rifle. So he's the muslim version of a republican congressman.

Why do repubs hate these people so much when they have so much in common?

Hamas was installed by Israel.

Seems like decades of being forced to live under military occupation didn't sit well with them.

Facts no one will accept:

Had Palestinians been given their own nation, Hamas would have lost all power.

Netanyahu needs Hamas in order to stay in power.

"For over a decade, Israel facilitated the transfer of 10's of millions of dollars of funds from Qatar to Hamas as a method of ensuring that Gaza and the West Bank would remain under separate governing authorities. Gaza under Hamas and the West Bank under the Palastinian Authority in order to guarantee that there could be no progress towards a Palastinian state. Netenyahu and other government party leaders have openly talked about this policy for years."

#35 | Posted by ClownShack at 2024-10-17 06:56 PM

And Hamas cashed all those checks... while letting Gaza's children drink poisoned water, their leaders became billionaires in Qatar.

There are no good guys in this fight between cousins.

You can read every post I've ever written about the conflict between Israel and Palestine and will never find one mention from me in support for Hamas.

I support the people stuck in Gaza with no option or hope.

Not supporting the action of Israel isn't the same as supporting Hamas.

Regardless of how much some people need it to be.
