    “Country threatens to kill civilians unless terrorists do as they say” Yeah, I’d say that’s not gonna work, but the whole point of this ultimatum is to justify the slaughter of Palestinians.

    In the long run it’ll probably work out for Hamas too. Watching friends and family get murdered will probably radicalize a lot of folks and drive up recruitment.

      Absolutely. The worse the atrocities of the fascist apartheid regime, the more influence and thus power Hamas gain.

      This genocide is the perfect example of how the “war on terror” is inherently an unwinnable quagmire that ultimately results in nothing but further needless deaths and misery for innocent civilians.
