This tOpic is the Hamas/Israel war and his is the 5th War starting 7th Oct You didn't respond to my question whether the illegal settlements were a provocation for Hamas. I assume you want to push this narrative that Hamas had no provocation for the attack? That Hamas weren't in existence then is not an argument that the Nakba was not a a raison de etre for their formation. Again, a non sequitur.

To declare war would have been to trigger the Geneva convention. Oh……no……….. ok so it was announced……cool Israel-Hamas War, war between Israel and Palestinian militants, especially Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), that began on October 7, 2023, when Hamas launched a land, sea, and air assault on Israel from the Gaza Strip. The October 7 attack resulted in more than 1,200 deaths, primarily Israeli citizens, making it the deadliest day for Israel since its independence. https://www.britannica.com/event/Israel-Hamas-War 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamas view all the land of Israel as occupied land and that's why there will always be attacks from the Palestinians as long as Israel exists , and that is why the Palestinians have to go , go well away from Israel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WDSmart Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 (edited) 49 minutes ago, coolcarer said: 54 minutes ago, WDSmart said: No, that's a link showing the continuing stealing of Palestinian land in the West Bank, which is what I said in my previous post. It is representative of actions that are why the Oct 7 terrorist attack occurred. Here is a link telling why Hamas says it attacked Israel on Oct 7. "Hamas has said it was motivated to launch the attack essentially as the culmination of long-building anger over Israeli policy, including recent outbreaks of violence at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, but more generally over the treatment of Palestinians and the expansion of Israeli settlements." Why did Hamas attack Israel, and why now? - CBS News Expand Wrong again. Israel declared war with Hamas due to the terrorist attack. Now your claim on 5e war, where is the link? I don't understand. I've posted links on both the continuing attempts to steal Palestinian land in the West Bank and a statement from Hamas as to why they carried out the Oct 7 attack. Just what is it that you want me to post a link on? Edited March 27 by WDSmart 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know but if so that it was an Israeli publication doesn't give it any special credibility whatsoever. Israel is a democracy with free speech and free press and you'll find the full range of opinions, information, and misinformation in the press of any such country Israel included. This is yet another sad example of a perverted pattern with obsessive Israel demonizers. They place special value when Israel demonizing messages come from Jews, Israelis or otherwise. Of course one of their greatest heros is the notorious self hating Jew Finkelstein (perfectly named) It's like they're trying to sell the big lie that if a Jew or an Israeli says something negative about Jews or Isreal, that PROVES it.

There will be no healthy debate if we can not speak about whats really going on, and not only the terrorist attack 7. October and forward.

I don't know anything about the specifics of all this, but I believe Israeli publications tend to support Israeli positions just as Arab publications tend to support Palestinian positions. That's the same everywhere, although there are always some publications from any country that always challenge the general narrative and even propose alternate explanations, some of which are just speculation.

It is an inescapable conclusion from the fact that there was a policy of tolerating the attacks and believing that they would be limited in nature while continuing to facilitate financial support. It's worth noting that Shin Bet opposed that support. edit: no further replies from me today, I have work to do.
