@dung_eater @palestine @NoFlexZone @argumento @HistoPol @Lastresponder @Outpatientzero How many Gazans who've died so far are Hamas? Is there even a clean line between Hamas militants and noncombatants?Before you answer, consider this: https://www.jpost.com/israel-hamas-war/article-780307

@TruthSandwich(1/n)"The footage shows a terrorist presenting himself as a civilian while hiding an RPG-type rocket under a blanket in a civilian area. This strategy, and the use of Gazan citizens as human shields, has been a well-recorded tactic of Hamas."I have at least two issues with this:1). The source is hardly objective.2.) Even if the above were true, and I do not doubt that, the point where ... @dung_eater @palestine @NoFlexZone @argumento@hispagatos.space @Lastresponder @Outpatientzero

@TruthSandwich @dung_eater @palestine @NoFlexZone @Lastresponder @Outpatientzero (2/n)..."some" civilians became "#CollateralDamage" has long been past.Dislocating the inhabitants of a whole region while oblitering all civilian infrastructure cannot be justified by self-defense anymore. The legal commentaries that I've heard agree with this stance that international law does not sanction the #IDF's brutal actions as ordered by the ult-right #Likud government.In an (international)...

@TruthSandwich @dung_eater @palestine @NoFlexZone @Lastresponder @Outpatientzero (3/n)...order governed by "law and order" one party (#Hamas) committing savage atrocities (i.e. #HumanRightsAbuses, #terrorism, and #WarCrimes), does *not* legitimize the attacked party to commence an all-out war in the sense of committing crimes against civilians. Most of the #Gazans are non-combattant civilians.Once the #IDF leaves and journalists do not become "collateral damage" on an enormous scale...

@TruthSandwich @dung_eater @palestine @NoFlexZone @Lastresponder @Outpatientzero (4/n)...anymore, international pressure on the Israeli government will mount and it will eventually fold. Hopefully, not too late, though it is already too late for thousands of Gazans...and Israelis (to a lesser extent.)//

@HistoPol @dung_eater @palestine @NoFlexZone @Lastresponder @Outpatientzero This is not one data point, and it is not peripheral. Every bit of evidence points in the same direction: Hamas has removed any distinction between civilian and military.They committed war crimes by using hospitals, homes, and schools as military command centers and weapons caches. They dug deep tunnels under civilian areas and likewise used them for these purposes.By design, there is no way to attack Hamas without hitting their human shields.Given this, and the fact that they intentionally started this war, we can only conclude that Hamas wanted Palestinians to die en masse, to be martyred for their cause.You don't get to cause something and then complain about it. If Hamas hadn't wanted these deaths, they wouldn't have happened.Call me coldblooded or whatever, but I refuse to be manipulated by sociopathic Realpolitik.https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/israeli-troops-uncover-cache-of-long-range-rockets-in-homes-in-central-gaza/

@TruthSandwich(1/2)"Hamas wanted Palestinians to die en masse, to be martyred for their cause."I can actually agree with this. Seeing things from a strategic 🪖 perspective, your argument, alas, makes a lot of sense. The #Hamas' leadership might even want to force the more powerful #Hezbollah's leader in #Lebanon to join the fight against #Israel: at what point will the outcry in #Lebanese streets about the... @dung_eater @palestine @NoFlexZone @Lastresponder @Outpatientzero

@TruthSandwich @palestine @NoFlexZone @Lastresponder @Outpatientzero (2/2)...mass dieing and deprivation of their #Gazan brethren become too loud to ignore. I believe that this is #Hamas's game plan.//

@HistoPol @dung_eater @palestine @NoFlexZone @Lastresponder @Outpatientzero Hamas timed its massacre to to interfere with talks to normalization of relations between Israel and the Arabs.The proximate goal was to trigger a war with massive civilian casualties in Gaza and play this forced tragedy for cheap PR wins against Israel.From the POV of their Iranian masters, this aided Russia by distracting from its ongoing invasion, and it could be leveraged by their useful idiots on the American far left as an attack on quote-unquote #GenocideJoe to get Trump back into power.Palestinians are dying so that Trump can take over America.
