From the article’s sub headline: ”Palestinians in Beit Hanoun were instructed by Israeli army to leave their homes and head for city centre. Hours later, the city centre was targeted”
What the actual fuck. Israel does many horrific stuff but this a new low.
Netanyahu said:" Those Who Attacked Israel Will Remember Israel’s Military Response For ‘Generations’ "
We are going to see some horrific war crimes in the weeks to come. And all of our countries are backing them up. Whole thing is fucked.
It’s sad but not surprising. Israel has a history of electing monsters.

It’s nothing new at all. Maybe new because you never payed a single fuck until recently.
Wait they’ve done this before? WTF bruh.

This is just data from 2022-2020.
No no I know Israel is horrible that’s not news. I’m specifically talking about giving airstrike warnings with an order to evacuate somewhere and striking the evacuation location. That’s new to my knowledge.
Maybe the Palestinians should just leave?
Maybe the Israelis should since they forced the two state plan by civilian bombing campaigns and outright murder of political and religious leaders who had lived there for generations.
Aside from what others have said: they’re literally not allowed to. They have no freedom of movement whatsoever.
Ah yes, 100 yr old maps are the definitive authority on who can live where. That’s also why Russia is owed Ukrainian land, right?

Because Israel is fucking evil. Not Jews. Israel.
Why is Israel evil?
Extensive grooming by America.
Do Israelis have no agency in your mind?
Boiling it down to the system that has been in place for the last 30-40 years? Yes they do.
They take the money. They take the weapons. They are told to use the weapons. They use the weapons on Palestine.
Here, maybe I won’t get completely eviscerated for this one. Israel is Vader. The US is Palpatine.
Israel was never forced to turn evil, but the US has the carrot and Israel keeps reaching for it.
As a result, they have spent decades torturing and murdering innocent people. Small wonder a resistance formed.
Now flash back to Iraq. America made Osama Bin Laden a national hero. America’s existence is the result of guerrilla warfare. I was taught by American education that America did it first. I know we didn’t.
Anyway, America went into Iraq, helped install Saddam, rewarded Osama for being effective in installing Saddam, then Al Queda started doing things we didn’t like and we got stuck in war with Iraq for decades.
The parallels between America’s involvement with Iraq and America’s involvement with Israel are astounding to me.
Huh? Osama bin Laden was 11 when Saddam Hussein became vice president of Iraq. He was in university when the president resigned and Hussein became president and then was fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan during the early years of his rule. Al-Qaeda had no presence in Iraq before the US invasion - and didn’t even exist until a decade after Hussein became president.
I love you.
Let’s start here. You’re a great fact checker.
Osama Bin Laden was celebrated by the Regan administration for uprooting soviet interests in the region, no?
Extensive grooming by America.
They got the leader they voted for, that’s on them.

The thing about that is there never was an era where war crimes were punished consistently.
In fact the modern post-WW2 era is about as good as it gets. And that is indeed not much.
Would you say that only the losers trend to be charged of war crimes. And probably some low-ranking war Victors.
I think generally it’s more akin to your average legal proceedings. The plebs who commit war crimes will face the full extent of the law, but when wealthy entities or nations do it they will often get away with it.
When it comes to charging the losers, even with the Nazis and the Nuremburg trials there was a significant amount of opposition from people within the Allied nations against prosecuting them. Actually, in an article about Ben Ferencz (the guy who worked hardest to make the Nuremburg trials happen) I read about a Nazi tried in the UK, Winston Churchill personally donated towards this Nazi’s defense and then had his execution commuted down to life, then later only ~20 years. By the end of the war Churchill was vehemently against the Soviets and chomping at the bit to invade them, I think this gave him sympathy towards Nazis who had been fighting Soviets. I’ve since been unable to find the guy’s name, though.

They were told to leave their homes and go to the city Centre. Then the city Centre was bombed.
Crosspost Comment from another related news article:
Don’t tell me that Hamas didn’t know how Israel would react. To keep the hate flowing is the goal of all extremists.
Edit: That Netanyahu openly admitted to support Hamas on some occasions, shows that Hamas AND Netanjahu want each other as permanent enemies: https://kbin.social/m/worldnews@lemmy.ml/t/526488/Anyone-who-wants-to-thwart-the-establishment-of-a-Palestinian
Since many of you seem to think of themselves as having viable solutions for the Israel/Palestine conflict- go ahead: Tell us how Israel should act after this Terrorist Attack.
Please refrain from bad faith arguments and stuff like „Israel should dissolve itself“ (because you and I know, that’s not going to happen)

Since many of you seem to think of themselves as having viable solutions for the Israel/Palestine conflict- go ahead: Tell us how Israel should act after this Terrorist Attack.
You just hinted at the start of a possible solution. Israelis need to stop voting for warmongering criminals like Netanyahu who have zero desire to see peace. The people in Gaza? They don’t get to vote.
I’m actually quite positive right now in that regard, like I haven’t been since the fucker killed Rabin: The right-wing vision of security for Israel just blew up in the nation’s face, big time. The IDF was busy backing up settlers harassing Palestinians in the West Bank and thus not on the Gazan border, the whole “antagonise until they give up” approach binds resources needed to actually provide security. Also, Palestinians don’t show any signs of giving up.
If the left goes in with a “security, checkpoints, de-settlement and de-escalation” policy (of course in addition to lowering pudding prices) they might just take the Knesset wholesale.
Because one thing is rather curious about Israel: While the people pretty much bought the ring-wing security vision, that didn’t mean an overall shift to the right. And the seeds for the “we bred that monster” type insights are definitely already there in the Israeli press, even if formulated cautiously. Ultimately the whole current military situation has to be over with before actual politics happen.
There is no solution where Israel is allowed to continue forcing Palestinians from their homes. But hey, colonizers gotta colonize.

Since Netanyahu and Hamas are the principal belligerents, I say send in a few SEALs to arrest them, and make them do “Hell in a Cell” in the middle of the desert, till they all die of exposure.
I’m aware this won’t happen, but that seems to be the immediate solution here, since as you so rightly pointed out, the leadership on both sides just wants the conflict to continue ad infinitum
Yeah Hamas and Israel are both insane, don’t see a solution that doesn’t involve giving Palestine land back and people electing moderate governments, but none of the foreign interests want that and neither do influential domestic factions. The most predictable blowback ever.
Here’s a fun whataboutist comparison: Two countries are currently in the efforts of stealing the territory of their neighbors, one though apartheid regime and slow claims to land, the other through a “military exercise.” Many in the west cheer on the deaths of Russian civilians because they are allegedly complicit in the war, they’re called “orks.” In Israel’s case their civilians are viewed as innocent victims, what is the difference? I think there are some valid differences but it does highlight some hypocrisy. I don’t think any civilian deaths are justified in these conflicts, whether committed by either side.
Many in the west cheer on the deaths of Russian civilians because they are allegedly complicit in the war, they’re called “orks.”
There’s a detail here that is wrong. “Orcs” is the name that has been given to the occupying Russian soldiers in Ukraine, for obvious reasons. Not civilians.
What Russian civilians are being killed??
I don’t really know anything about the situation beyond the 10 minute explainer I watched on youtube.
It’s practically a holy war that’s raged for millennia though - I don’t think there are “solutions”, I think the goal is just to dial back the ferocity of the feud a few notches.
Both sides should start by not doing war crimes.
That 10 minute explainer did you a disservice I think. That holy war concept is a really vague way of describing why there has been conflict in the region for that breadth of time. But it doesnt really address the Israel-Palestinian conflict so much as it provides a smokescreen for the last 100 years of political maneuvers by the various Allied powers of WW1 and WW2 with the British and French first, then America since.
Bro Israelis historically were the first to bomb civilian targets, if we’re going to analyze it you have to start before the ottoman empire.
Don’t tell me that Hamas didn’t know how Israel would react.
Literally nobody told you that. I guarantee all you’ve seen up to this point are people saying exactly what you’re saying.

I think all the Palestinians should move to Iran.
Oh yeah? Who is going to pay for that?
Mexico

“Hey, we took a bunch of your land and we have repeatedly violated our previous agreements not to take more, but hey, take this shitty land in return for a bunch of concessions from your side. We promise that this time we won’t violate our agreement. Promise!”
Another paraphrase: You’re one of two brothers. Shortly after your father’s death, your brother gains access to your elderly father’s bank account and plunders it. You take them to court to seek justice, but the judge is a friend of your sister-in-law. Despite the evidence being overwhelmingly in your favor, the judge rules against you. You appeal to a higher court and the case is pending. Your brother approaches you and offers you 10% of the money but you must sign away your rights to inherit any more of the money and the rest of the estate.
It’s just wild: if you change the context of the narrative, almost any reasonable person would say one party is absolutely the aggressor, but a bunch of propagandists like you have pushed an alternative narrative that the no-critical-thinking crowd eats right up.
It’s almost as if there are good reasons why they haven’t made peace yet. Dare I suggest that those reasons are beyond the fixing skills of internet forum users.
Naah, just kidding. We can fix this.
You’re implying Palestinians are violent by nature. That’s racist as fuck, dude.

Why would they ever accept any “offer” to have their homes and land taken away?
Look at the Native Americans for an example of a colonized population that accepted the terms of their colonizers.
Still alive???
Also how is it comonization? According to both religions both own the land. One party accepts the other while the other wants to kill all jews because of my god is bigger.
I will never accept antisemitism.

The general take on Lemmy is: it’s okay for Palestinians to become extremists after decades of violence, but for Israelis? no no no sir.
The tankies are very noticable right now
Has it ever occurred to you some people are independent and therefore don’t always subscribe to a single tribe?
Probably not, because you’re a tribalist projecting your tribalism onto literally everyone else.
In your mind, people are with you or against you. There is no nuance.
Thats like the complete opposite of what I am like lol
Your previous comment does not reflect that.
Because I notice tankies? okay…
In your mind, people are with you or against you. There is no nuance.
Might wanna brush up on your reading comprehension.
Thank you for being honest and admitting that Israel has not been willing to even come to the table for 18 years
What a wierd take from that information.
Blatant lying from hassanmckusick@lemmy.discothe.quest.
Israel is an apartheid state. Why should Palestinian offer them anything? It’s. not. their. land.
According to one religious book it is and according to another religious book it isnt.
This argument is boring. depending on how far back in time we go it is or isn’t.Islam is based on Judaism. So it’s Jewish land according to both these books
No, it’s not. Both are based in the middle East and on Abraham, but they differ wildly.
A substantial portion of the 20% of Israel’s population that are Arab Israeli citizens would beg to differ. They have legit gripes with how the State operates, but they want jack shit to do with Palestine.
Hamas are animals. Abducting children and internationals. These last few days have shown they do not deserve sympathy. Watching Palestinians cheer when rockets get launched just proves my point.
So instead you are cheering when civilians on the other side are being killed. Great logic. I hope you feel morally superior and can sleep better at night.
Where did he cheer that Palestinian civilians got killed?
One simple rule to achieve peace and stability is diplomatic talk. You don’t use violence as answer.
Attacking civilians is also plain and simple terrorism. Hamas proved with this action they are not worth more than terrorists.
Attacking civilians is also plain and simple terrorism
So we’re in agreement that this is essentially two terrorist states fighting each other? And the biggest losers in all of this will be the innocent Israeli and Palestinian citizens who just want to live their lives in peace. Meanwhile Hamas and the Israeli state get to go back and forth playing the their sick game of race-to-the-bottom-of-the-morality-barrel trying to blow each other to smithereens.
If you’re 93 today, then you were about 18 years old when Israel became an autonomous nation (in 1948). Before that time, the Jews in the area were simply terrorists without a state.
I’m glad you know that Israel was formed in 1948 but your grasp on the rest of the history is poor.
Here’s your chance to tell me the real history, then.
I wouldn’t call it a “real” history, just a richer history that leads to a more nuanced understanding of the situation, starting with the Ottoman Empire’s tax reform efforts prior to WWI leading to the fellahin legally conveying their land to town leaders to avoid taxation, the descendants of said leaders considering themselves as landed gentry and who had little connection to the land, in fact most of them were living the high life in Beirut and who were more than happy to sell land to Jews. Or the state of Arab intellectual thought as it transitioned from pan-arabism to regional nationalism. Or the role the Arab League played in manipulating many Palestinians to act against their interests in the leadup to and during the 1948-1949 war (Arabs that ignored the Arab League are now, by and large, Israeli citizens, though they have legit gripes and deserve a fair constitutional government that protects them from the vageries of the volatile Israeli political process). Or how Arab nations allowed/encouraged pogroms to occur against their Jewish residents both before and after the creation of the State of Israel, persecution that (surprise surprise) led Arabic-speaking Jews to flee to the mandate/Israel. I’m NOT saying that Israel did no wrong. I’m just irritated as fuck by Israeli AND Palestinian apologists that ignore the role their side played in making the situation what it is today.
You are saying that the post holocaust Jews were terrorists? Wtf?
I was talking about before that, but in general, I’ll just say that whatever the truth is, you should simply accept as the truth. There were certainly refugees from the holocaust who became literal terrorists, and the idea that your faux outrage is more important than truth is repugnant.
Feel terror, make counter terror…
Wait, isn’t this a popular valve game that is about to get a 3?
Yup.
But don’t forget. They are deploying 1 time use type armament, so they are also getting subsidized to keep weapon makers profitable.
One simple rule to achieve peace and stability is diplomatic talk.
Yeah if it was that simple the region would have peace already. Israel has never seriously considered peace as anything than something to avoid. See: How they funded Hamas in the 90s to take steam out of the Palestinian peace movement.
Hamas didnt even exist when Israel funded Mosques and Charity work.
You think that’s going to make a difference? People don’t even take a moment to parse that fully 20% of Israeli citizens are Arab, that those Arabs didn’t have their land stolen, and that the reason they are in Israel is because they didn’t listen to the propaganda of the Arab League that they needed to flee because Israel was going to kill them all/make it more convenient for the Arab League to kill all the Jews. No one gives a fuck about actual rich history, the role Arabs played in fucking over their own ethnic group time and again, or that the vast majority of Arab Israelis want fuck-all to do with Palestine except occasionally visit extended family members and then GTFO of the corrupt hellhole that is Gaza (while having legit gripes with how the Israeli state operates).
they didn’t listen to the propaganda of the Arab League that they needed to flee because Israel was going to kill them all
Doesn’t seem like they were wrong…
You should look up Benny Morris (an Israeli Zionist historian)'s four-stage analysis of the Palestinian diaspora before saying shit like this.
I don’t really want to comment on that. I feel like I am not qualified to judge about the complex problems in this region.
I see a reflex by some people pointing out that Palestinians are victims. But that does justify to take revenge in this way. This action will prolonge the hatred on both side and the entire situation even further. No one should support Hamas in this case.
A popular myth, but a myth nonetheless.
In 2014, Israel invaded Gaza and more than 2000 people were killed. Did Israel achieve anything other than radicalising more the local population, I would say no? Violence is never the answer or a recipe for long lasting peace.
Do you think that if Israel was treating Palestinians better and not causing a humanitarian crisis, the support for Hamas would be so strong?
Just for perspective, the Hamas army is around 30.000, while the Gaza strip population is around 2,3 million. So that’s 1.3% while people who depend on humanitarian aid in the Gaza strip are 80% and probably this percentage would increase even further. So that’s 1.7Mln people. Not to mention that 123.000 people have been displaced. Not to mention that they don’t have access to clean drinking water, soon would run out of electricity and gas. So I don’t know for you but my mind has trouble trying to process the scale of this humanitarian catastrophe.
Cutting off food, water and electricity for 2.3 million people.
I wonder if people notice the irony of Israel recreating the Warsaw ghetto.
They have been horrifically oppressed for decades.
They have lived in constant fight for your life squalor while America keeps siphoning money and weapons to Israel, who, in turn, simply tortures Palestine.
I dont condone it, but I can’t bring myself to fake outrage or surprise.
America caused this.
America needs to stop funding terrorists (Israel). It only breeds more terrorists (Hamas).
And at the end of the day, that was the point.
There is another armed conflict for American military contractors to cash in on.
America needs to stop funding terrorists (Israel). It only breeds more terrorists (Hamas).
Add to your list that Israel actively funded Hamas in the 90s to take the steam out of the Palestinian peace movement.
Your worldview is so fucked up. The reason Israel gets support is because if it didn’t, the surrounding Arab nations would have wiped it out, as they have said multiple times.
It’s like a bully attacks a little kid, and the little kid’s older brother shows up to defend him, and then you saying, “the older brother caused this because he wouldn’t let the bully beat up that little kid!”
You’ve got it all backwards man. Get help.
When the little brother starts slaughtering all of the innocent people who “are totally all bullies” and bombing their homes with impunity for 40 years with virtually no consequence, somewhere over those 40 years, the brothers became the bullies in the neighborhood.
Start using your brain big boy.
Stop regurgitating what Fox tells you to.
So that justifies deliberately targeting civilians? Israel is no better than Hamas.
Yeah, lots of Palestinian music festivals attacked recently, eh?

It is their land. They are about to prove that fact again over the coming months. Land belongs to the Earth. What society controls said land is up to the people’s will. Hamas ended its own life on Saturday.
