There were large pro Palestine and pro peace/ceasefire marches in germany.

Afterwards they were smeared either by pointing out that marches were organized by or with pro-hamas entities within the country.

This is indeed concerning but fails to acknowledge the various reasons people have to attend these demonstrations.

I think this approach was effective in silencing most individuals that are pro-Palestine or anti-zionist but don’t want to be connected to Hamas.

It’s a waiting game. They will probably displace the Palestinians into the Egyptian desert step by step. Make a new Ghetto there.

A time will come when they can’t hide behind the US, because it’s involved in another conflict or internally occupied, and Israel is surrounded by enemies, now even more than before.

You reap what you sow, just give it time.

I liked that, is it yours?

No, that was the work of really depraved men. It’s not excusable, and I wish them the worst death has to offer.

My comment went more into a tactical, not a moral direction.

The hostages are probably one of the things keeping some areas in Gaza secure. Was a effective move to gather as many as you can, not only as bargaining chips but strategically.

Hamaz will use them as human shields in important positions, Isreal gives little fucks about dead Palestinians, thing changes when it’s your own civilians you bomb.

They should not give them back if they want to be able to operate a little further and prepare for a possible ground assault by Israel.

That’s what their soldiers are more effective in, no sense in getting bombed without aa.

Because this was probably a military target.

A lot of militant groups use civilians as human shields to either completly prevent a strike or a least create bad publicity to spin their propaganda.

There were a lot of Israelis taken into Gaza by force, my guess is they are kept in the most important places to create a moral dilemma.

You either attack and kill your own civilians or let the enemy have undisturbed action.
