Refaat Alareer, the teacher and writer who had shared the hardships of war with EL PAÍS, was killed along with six family members in an Israeli attack
They are sending Gaza back a hundred years,” and argued that the international community is “complicit” in the “extermination” being carried out by Israel
So very true. We’re reacting to the present destruction of Gaza and asking for a ceasefire.
What does the future look like in Gaza? Any financial commitments to rebuild? Even when the bombings finally stop, how does Gaza survive?
They are not supposed to survive.
Regards, Benjamin Netanyahu.

good question, and there are no solutions yet. one thing for sure is israel will not accept hamas existance anymore, nor should anyone with a working moral compass.
seen as how it’s abundantly clear that the Israeli govt is also an incredibly terroristic institution, no one with a moral compass should accept their existence either, right?
War is funny.
WWI started because everyone had to respect their treaties and join their allies into war.
Then WWII started because countries didn’t join together from the start.So, even if we learn from our past mistakes and avoid making them, with war, we can only do worse the next time.

Please enlighten us. What’s the difference? According to Wikipedia, they are one and the same:

something else entirely how?
the up votes of that comment are a proof of the delusional circlejerking around fake news and half truths in here, thanks for helping me prove it
Popular Front had a podcast interview with him a month ago, it’s insane to hear all of the bombs going on around him even then.
:(
Alareer, a literature professor with the Islamic University of Gaza, warned us a month ago about how Israel is using “hunger as a weapon of war.” The Gaza Strip is facing major hunger issues as it enters the third month of the war instigated by the October 7 Hamas attack that killed 1,200 people in Israel. “The people of Gaza are dying of hunger,” said Alareer. “We have very little food or water due to Israel’s blockade. This is a systematic extermination – the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in Gaza. It’s a continuation of the Israeli ethnic cleansing that started over 75 years ago,” referring to the creation of the Israeli state in 1948.
A systematic extermination and an ethnic cleansing supported and facilitated by the USA.
I saw the article mentioned he had defended the Oct 7 attack so after some googling:
Soon after the 7 October Hamas attack – which killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, with about 240 kidnapped – Alareer caused outrage during a BBC interview by calling it “legitimate and moral” and “exactly like the Warsaw ghetto uprising”, the broadcaster said.
Yikes. Defending oct 7 was pretty fucked up move on his behalf but what Israel keeps doing is arguably worse. Both Hamas and Israel leadership need to be removed from this world…
Words don’t justify a death sentence. This is the same bullshit reasoning that gets trotted out by bootlickers every time a cop murders a black person in the US. There’s a mad scramble to find the worst thing the victim ever did and claim that makes their murder ok.
What Israel is doing is worse, yet most world leaders are justifying Israel’s actions. Nobody seems to be condemning these political slimeballs. It seems that Hamas, a violent liberation movement is being held to a higher standard than nation states.

People called the ANC in South Africa and Nelson Mandela a terrorist too. It’s a label to try and vilify and dehumanize the other. The reality is that Israel is an apartheid state, and it’s committing genocide against the Palestinians. Hamas is only a product of that and they can only be defeated by ending the crimes against humanity.

Get educated:
“Many people were killed in protests, and the ANC’s armed wing was linked to several high-profile bombings that killed South African civilians throughout the 1980s, prompting some among the country’s white minority to blame the “terrorist” Mandela.”

Oct 7 was retaliation against occupation. When you give people no other choice than violent resistance and mass slaughter them when they peacefully protest this is the result.
All the worst stuff that Hamas had supposedly done was a complete lie by the IDF. There was no rape or child beheadings. Targeted attacks with a low (3/4) civilian casualty rate compared to US and israeli avarages of 9/10 and 99/100, and taking of hostages.
You would be out here condemning Nelson Mandela and the ANC after they started their violent revolution against the Apartheid in South Africa. Cut the hypocrisy already.
I hope hamas at least pays u

October 7 was a military attack against Israel. It’d be a different story if he defended the rape and murder of civilians that happened during October 7th. As of right now we don’t have any evidence that Hamas leadership ordered that, and the attack as a whole had clear military objectives.
I think many find it hard to believe Israel now. The Hamas side of the story is that Hamas were good to the hostages (and we have testimonies for that), and that many attacks were done by Gazan civilians who followed the fighters who broke down the fence, and indeed the video of Shani, the German Israeli, showed non-combatants parading her naked, not Hamas fighters.
Probably in a different narrative, Hamas performed a justified military operation to take hostages to free their own prisoners (whom we know are illegally detained by Israel without a charge and living through hell and torture in Israel prisons, at young ages). So far, it looks justied. Add to that all the evidence we have showing that many people on October 7th, especially those burned, were killed by IDF that was acting as though on steroids. I would be naive to assume no rape happened, but Israel’s evidence for “systemic rape as a war tactic” is extremely flimsy. Israel killed its own people and is now milking their dead bodies for PR to justify a genocide.
That being said, no documented crimes can be denied. A Hamas fighter throwing a grenade into a safe room full for people - there is footage of that.

Yeah. That guy should probably be hung.
If only executions reduced or prevented overall crime and violence…
u really eat what a terrorist organization feeds u that easily?
I mean yes in the sense that the capture of civilians has a clear military objective. Doesn’t make it less awful.
One genocidal state doesn’t justify another one. There are no good guys in this conflict. That said one side has more bombs than the other so we should be focusing on that side. But please, no justifying war crimes.
Doesn’t make it less awful.
It does, though. Hostages are one of the few ways Hamas can get Israel to release Palestinian hostages (also known as detainees) and get the blockade loosened. While it sucks that this is the current situation, with the status quo at hand the capture of civilians is absolutely justified. Otherwise thousands of Palestinians won’t be making it home again.
do u even read what u write?

And the Dems are already saying they’re gonna vote for Genocide Joe again…
Hold your nose, close your eyes, turn off your brain and vote everyone!
2 whole sentences to say absolutely nothing… hope you have better days in the future
They tell you not to support apartheid and genocide. Very difficult thing to understand indeed.
Biden just vetoed the ceasefire.

Do you think Biden is in command of Israel’s military?

“At least he’s not trump” is their only response and democrats worked hard to promote fascists like him to make sure that was the only response they’ll ever need.
“At least he’s not trump” is their only response
When it’s a binary choice like that, then there’s only one option.
