Top leaders of Palestinian Islamist group Hamas launched their Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel aiming to torpedo peace negotiations between Israel and Saudi Arabia, according to minutes of a high-level meeting in Gaza that Israel's military said it discovered in a tunnel beneath the enclave. Days before the assault that left nearly 1,200 dead, Yahya Sinwar, Hamas's Gaza chief, told fellow militants that an "extraordinary act" was required to derail the normalization talks that he said risked marginalizing the Palestinian cause, the document, reviewed by The Wall Street Journal, said. read more
Israel "most likely" killed Hamas leader Mohammed Sinwar in Gaza, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday. Sinwar was among those targeted last Tuesday by Israeli strikes on a Gaza hospital in the city of Khan Younis. Israel claimed that Sinwar was hiding in an underground bunker. read more
A senior Hamas official has drawn widespread anger from Gaza residents after referring to the high death toll in the Strip as "material calculations." Another resident posted a video saying: "Hamas leadership says - so what if 60,000 people died? Someone else will take their place. Osama Abu Zuhri, you're speaking from outside the Strip. Your children are outside the Strip. You ignite this war, and we are the fuel?!" read more

Welp, genocide is horrorshow.
Sure is! It's a shame that's the the Palestinians have sworn to do to the Jews.
Hamas's Genocidal Intentions Were Never a Secret

And you keep saying "pro-Hamas types" like it's ingenuous. You're cheering on the barbarism, and it's disgraceful

Barbarism is what the Palestinians did on October 7th, targeting 1,200 civilian men, women, and children for rape and murder. To stop Israel from making peace with Saudi Arabia. And then the Palestinians cried when Israel handed their butts to them, which is what any other nation would have done in Israel's place, except Israel was comparatively restrained with its use of violence.
That was the Palestinian's entire master plan. Commit a heinous act, get whooped, and then cry to make the world turn on Israel (not that there was much turning to do for most of the world).
I'm a firm believer in the FAAFO educational process, and the only way to make sure the Palestinians and other terrorists don't go for a repeat performance in the future is to make sure that they gain nothing from their plan.
I'm all for peace. Unfortunately for the Palestinians, and many of the pro-Hamasers who want to blink Israel out of existence, that will likely mean the Palestinians will have to accept Israel's right to exist. Because 10 million nuke Jews aren't going anywhere forcibly. And then maybe Palestinians will finally have a state, which they have never had in the history of the world.

If they don't want to make peace, then I guess the Palestinians can keep murdering and getting killed for it. I'm not going to spare any of my limited supply of sympathy for those who refuse to put two and two together and learn how to get along in life after repeatedly losing wars that they start over land that they stole from others.
Your claim that Qatar is controlling the death toll and not Israel is outright propaganda. HOW can people in Gaza communicate, organize or resist at the behest of any leadership in the midst of a genocide?
You don't think people in Gaza have access to communication devices and that the Hamas power structure in Qatar is unable to get through to Hamas in Gaza?
Someone should tell Hamas:
Fearing return to war, Hamas tells senior officials to stop using phones

Poor innocent Gazans, probably haven't even mastered how to walk yet. Maybe this is the only phones to which they have access:
You really are backwards compatible to a Nazi.

Given the high esteem in which you hold people who rape and murder Jewish civilians, should I thank you for the "compliment?"
Oh, and here's a link discussing the dismissal of that case by Dearborn, Michigan and link to its apology for attempting to enforce sharia in the United States: en.wikipedia.org
Which points to the fact that the REAL issue is RUSSIA not hamas.
#15 | Posted by SpeakSoftly
It can be both.
Hamas had their own objectives that complemented Russia and Iran's goals. Hamas wouldn't have pulled the trigger on October 7th without Russia/Iran's orders/permission, but that doesn't relieve the Pro-Hamas Muslims of their own responsibility for the natural results of their actions.
And if you don't think they'll go for a repeat next chance they get to hold sway over a Dem in power, I certainly won't be able to convince you otherwise. But they will, and it will cost the Dems either way they come out on it, for being too hard on the Palestinians (by the small but vocal pro-Hamas community), or for being terrorist sympathizers (by the vast majority of Americans that are anti-Hamas/Muslim).
Lots of people responsible for the election results, from pro-Trans insisting on biological males participating in women's sport and alienating the majority of Americans, to pro-Hamas and Muslims making Dems look like useless idiots.
I blame them all, just like Jill Stein/Ralph Nader voters don't get off scot-free because they are easily-duped fools taken advantage of by others.
And that's not even getting into the fact of what the Muslims would do to me, my nation, and those I care about if they were free to enact their policies like they have in other countries where they hold control. Best of luck being an atheist, talking religion, letting your woman drive/hold a job, dress how they choose, etc. in many of those nations.
Here's an example:
Sharia in the USA: Christians Jailed for Preaching to Muslims - Dearborn, MI Officials Sued
Sharia law makes it a crime to preach the Gospel to Muslims.

Is there more to the story? Probably, but I have no doubt that some devout Muslims can be problematic to the American way of life if they had the opportunity.
It's not muslims who have made america unrecognizable from how it was pre fox news.

The Palestinians' attack was timed about a year before the election to get maximum effect before voters cast their ballots. Notice how the useful idiots stopped their pro-Hamas protests on campuses, highways, bridges, airports, etc. after Trump won? The election that Muslims bragged about helping him win. I guess Palestine must be free, since barely a peep can be heard nowadays.
Putin must laugh himself to sleep on how easy Americans are to manipulate, as he suppresses the vote election after election.
Buttery Males, Free Palestine. It's all the same nonsense that means nothing, changes nothing, but steals elections from Dems to hand power to the GOP.
#2 aged like unpasteurized goats milk. Normally saying something that laughably stupid would make all but the most pathetic know-nothings slink away in shame. But the pro-Hamas internet jihadists are immune to embarrassment.

C0RI0LANUS is in a league of his own when it comes to denying and excusing Muslim atrocities.
Not too long ago, he claimed with a straight face that Muslims had never embarked on wars of foreign aggression. One of the most warlike religions to have ever existed. As if they were conjured on earth controlling 20% of its land where nonbelievers feared to tread.
In India, Muslim rulers insisted on murdering 100,000 Hindus a year, whether they needed it or not. www.sikhnet.com
Straight up delusional Islamist nonsense flows from his Hamas-lips to your ears.
Capital Jewish Museum shooting suspect killed 2 for Gaza.' His victims were peace advocates.
The man who allegedly walked up to two Israeli embassy staffers and shot them dead Wednesday night reportedly told eyewitnesses he "did it for Gaza."
But the event those staffers had just left at the Capital Jewish Museum highlighted an organization that supplied aid to Gaza during the Israel-Hamas war. And his victims had made peace-building central to their work.

Good job Palestinians! Really keeping your eye on the ball! Some Grade-A strategery amongst the intellectual giants who thought October 7th would be a good idea.
Well Censored, now that the cat has been let out of the bag by Democrats that no one was home upstairs with him and other people were signing off using his signature without his authority. That's a felony and jail time is warranted. The people deserve to know the truth.

That's a lot of (groundless) assumptions your making, but you already know that.
We'll get on those false accusations right after we take care of the folks who were legit signing off on "Alzheimer's" Ron Reagan's papers during his second term. You remember Ronnie, right? The guy who got in front of Congress and said he didn't recall telling Ollie North to commit 16 felonies and Congress believed him. "124 times in his eight hours of testimony." seattletimes.com
I'm sure you got your panties in a bunch over that as well. Because the senility of our presidents is such a big deal to you.
