Any idea what could have caused the vile massacre of innocent civilians on October 7?
You think you are fooling someone with the insinuation that the Palestine-Israel conflict began on October 7, 2023, but there are too many deaths and historical knowledge under the rugs that your Israeli hasbara is no longer incapable of hiding.
Occupying power = Aggressor
Occupied power = Resistance
Self-defense under occupation is not acceptable.
The resistance of the people who have been expelled from their ancestral land for 75 years is self-defense against illegal occupation.
Read a book instead of injecting yourself with the propaganda of the media, totally invaded by the Jewish lobby.
But the October 7th thing was when HAMAS attacked Israel and started the current war. On October 6th, the IDF wasn't going into GAZA to destroy HAMAS.
December 2008 – Israel launches a 22-day military offensive in Gaza after rockets were fired at the southern Israeli town of Sderot. About 1,400 Palestinians and 13 Israelis killed before a ceasefire is agreed upon.
November 2012 – Israel kills Hamas’s military chief of staff, Ahmad Jabari, followed by eight days of Israeli air raids on Palestine.
July-August 2014 – The kidnap and killing of three Israeli teenagers by Hamas leads to a seven-week war in which more than 2,100 Palestinians are killed in Gaza along with 73 Israelis, including 67 soldiers.
March 2018 – Palestinian protests begin at Gaza’s fenced border with Israel and Israeli troops open fire to keep them back. More than 170 Palestinians killed in several months of protests, prompting fighting between Hamas and Israeli forces.
May 2021 – After weeks of tension during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, hundreds of Palestinians are injured by Israeli security forces at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem. Hamas demanded Israel withdraw security forces from the compound. Israel launched air raids on Gaza in response to what it said were rockets fired from Gaza. In the fighting that went on for 11 days, at least 260 people were killed in Gaza and 13 died in Israel.
August 2022 – More than 30 Palestinians, including women and children, killed in new air attacks carried out by Israeli planes. Palestinian Islamic Jihad, whose two commanders were killed in the air strikes, fires dozens of rockets into Israel in response.

Imagine unironically complaining about not being able to assasinate people in other countries and thinking you are somehow right. Only a zionist jew would think like this.
I"m not complaining. I'm explaining.
Instigation attempt noted.

I never said or implied that. You must be thinking of another member in this thread.
Well, then they're suicidal idiots for attacking innocent men, women and children.
What are you reading?
For non-fiction I just read "ethnic cleansing" by Ilan Pappé. Addresses the Palestinian-Israeli issue, focusing on the year 1948. Providing very good details and sources.
I just started with "the hidden life of freemasonry" by Charles Webster Leadbeater, about theosophy, very interesting.
In fiction, I am rereading the collection of "The Children of the Earth" by Jean M. Auel, I don't know if you have read any, I highly recommend them, starting with the "Clan of the Cave Bear" for me they are a masterpiece.
Could you recommend any of your favorite readings?
And the more that we learn in science and anthropology about early man, the more prescient much of her work becomes. With an added dash of drama, of course.

A dozen rockets and mortar bombs were fired from Gaza into Israel, one accidentally falling short and striking a northern Gaza house and killing two Palestinian sisters, aged five and twelve, while wounding a third[85][86]
December 27–31
(See Gaza War (2008–09)#Israel.)
Did you know that Palestine cannot have an army?
Do you know that they cannot have military bases, or fighter planes, or tanks, or heavy weapons?
Neither could Germany after WWI as per the Treaty of Versailles signed in 1919 by Germany and the Allied Nations, and the leaders of France, England, Italy, and the United States.
And look how that worked out.

Your infected opinion does not counterargue any of the attacks I have posted below.

Your infected opinion ...
Your hasbara is sick, like some other members on this forum.
I think that the moderators should be a little more careful with the dehumanizing, false and Nazi rhetoric that some of you use here.
The U.S. State Department cited credible reports of killings, arrests and torture in Nicaragua, as well as harsh and life-threatening conditions in the country's prisons, in an annual human rights report released on Monday
The State Department's 2022 human rights report pointed to "numerous reports that the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings."
Nicaragua’s government has committed serious and systematic violations which amount to crimes against humanity, a United Nations-appointed team of human rights experts said on Thursday, calling for international sanctions against the government.
The three-person body said the government has committed, and continues to commit, acts of torture, extrajudicial executions, arbitrary detention since 2018.
Asked about the scale of the abuses, the experts said they had documented over 100 cases of executions, hundreds of cases of torture and arbitrary detention, and thousands of cases of political persecution.
“Based on this investigation, we can conclude that widespread and systematic human rights violations that amount to crimes against humanity - and are motivated by political reasons - have been committed against civilians by the Nicaraguan Government since 2018,” said Jan Simon, Chair of the Group of Human Rights Experts on Nicaragua.
He told journalists: “They have been weaponizing the justice system, weaponizing the legislative function, weaponizing the executive function of the State against the population.”
Nicaragua’s already fragile democracy is quickly backsliding into a dictatorship.
President Daniel Ortega has spent the last week using the undisputed power of the country’s police and courts to crack down on his political opposition with brutal efficiency.
At least 13 opposition leaders have been arrested and charged with vague, so-called “national security” violations, which human rights groups say is a clear sign that the country’s strong-man leader is doing his best to eliminate dissent and crush any competition ahead of upcoming general elections on November 7, a vote where he hopes to secure his fourth consecutive term as president.
Five years on, far from ending its policy of repression to subdue dissenting voices and any kind of criticism, the Nicaraguan government continues to expand and reinvent it and incorporate new patterns of violations, said Amnesty International in a new report today.
A cry for justice: 5 years of oppression and resistance in Nicaragua documents the human rights crisis that the country has experienced since people took to the streets to protest peacefully against reforms to the social security system on 18 April 2018. Brutal repression was the tool that President Daniel Ortega decided to use to control this social discontent, leaving more than 300 people dead, more than 2,000 injured and hundreds arbitrarily detained.
A U.N. human rights groups said Thursday the government of Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega executed at least 40 people and ordered hospitals not to treat demonstrators wounded in antigovernment protests.
GENEVA (2 March 2023) – Widespread human rights violations that amount to crimes against humanity are being committed against civilians by Nicaragua’s Government for political reasons, the Group of Human Rights Experts on Nicaragua said in a new report that calls for the international community to impose sanctions on institutions or individuals involved.
The alleged abuses – which include extrajudicial executions, arbitrary detentions, torture, arbitrary deprivation of nationality and of the right to remain in one's own country – are not an isolated phenomenon but the product of the deliberate dismantling of democratic institutions and destruction of civic and democratic space, the report said.
