You don't decide about who goes where , up or down, that is someone else's job and not yours

Back in 2018, Hamas orchestrated  (well, hijacked) mass protests along Gaza Strip's border with Israel. One of the most controversial tactics used by the IDF at the time was sniper fire against main instigators for violence in the crowd, those suspected of carrying arms, and those coming too near to the border fence (no full wall back then). The result was, of course, many more Palestinians dead and wounded.

 

Israel's reasoning for choosing this tactic was that non-lethal means available were not effective for 'events' of this scope, and that the main concern was that a group of protestors allowed to rush the fence could result in a stampede possibly resulting in penetration and chaos. This was seen as both a major risk of the settlements located really near the border (one of the protestors' chants of choice was 'we'll meet at Netiv HaAsara' - a village just on the border), and as potentially leading to more Palestinian deaths as well (if troops had to use live fire at closer range).

 

So anyway, back then there was a lot of criticism about this tactic - both abroad and within Israel. On this forum as well. Post the 7/10 attack, maybe the decision taken back then wasn't a wrong one.

Or  was it a primary instigation of counter tactics eventually  manifested ?

What you  fail to identify  in your discourse is that the  sniper fire was  often fatally  directed  to targets such as teens throwing  rocks  at  IDF  people in full  kevlar  body armour or even simply at a wall. Target practice for late teen aged  involuntary inductees of the IDF. Paint any picture  you want. If it is honest it will demonstrate  gross  abuses more  often or  not  on territory  legally not Israeli.

'US will be thing of past': Hamas official praises North Korea's ability to strike

Hamas official says North Korea is ally, insinuates it could one day target the US

https://www.timesofisrael.com/hamas-official-says-north-korea-is-ally-insinuates-it-could-one-day-target-the-us/

 

Doubt North Korea will risk anything much for the sake of Hamas, or the Palestinians. It even denied sale/transfer of arms to Hamas for the attack.

 

On a bit of an off topic note - both North and South Korea must be looking at their border and each going 'hmmm...", for different reasons.

Don't throw rocks then.

Former Israeli PM confirming what all rational people already knew - Israel has had no interest in a peaceful resolution for the past 15 years.

 

Netanyahu spent 15 years propping up Hamas to “thwart” a Palestinian state.

 

Imagine if they had genuinely wanted peace and not wasted 15 years - there’d certainly have never been an October 7th.

 

“If Israel produced a serious proposal for two-state negotiations it would have a dramatic impact on the international community. It would give us more space and time to achieve the aims of our military operations — it would have an impact on public opinion in Western countries and in the media. It would show Israel is committed to doing something it hasn’t wanted to in the past 15 years. So, something positive could come out of all of this. But we’re not doing it, and no one wants to think about it. No one wants to spell it out. No one wants to say it.”

There is no question that Netanyahu has been a barrier to peace. Fortunately,  it is likely he will not be in power too much longer, even if Hamas is crushed.

What is unreliable about AJ?

 

It's as reliable as say an American news channel, as the US support genocide at the moment. 

Link, please.

 

Genocide is the elimination of an ethnic group (or an attempt to do so). Who is being eliminated? The Gazans who have been allowed to go into southern Gaza via safe corridors established by Israel?

Suspended, not dismissed. But yeah, the MP said something so crazy that he got booted.

Well that's not it exactly. The exact concept is don't throw rocks at people with guns. As Hamas training provides for, it is okay to throw rocks at unarmed civilians, especially toddlers. Civilians don't shoot back, and that's a necessity

Or simply, don't bring a knife to a gun fight.

The Hamas terrorist billionaires who live in marble-floored mansions and luxury hotels as they decry Gaza poverty after profiting from misery and terror:

Even after Hamas is destroyed, these guys will continue to live in luxury off Iranian money.

Not exactly suspended, even, as it turns out. Banned from government meetings, but they aren't holding many of these now anyway - the war being run by a smaller ministerial forum. Not sure which MP 'got booted'.

I doubt Iran will support their lavish lifestyle. Hezbollah officials and fans already had a go at them over that. But either way, they have more than enough already, unless the USA manages to take it away or freeze it. Not a remote possibility.
