Hmm that is a trick question.
Are you speaking of just regulars or state military?

"Someone" needs to resign (or worse) for unnecessarily killing tens of thousands of women and children in GAZA.
😡

Can anyone tell us how many Hamas Terrorists have been killed?

Because until we do some simple mathematics and subtract that number from the number that you quoted that was provided by the Hamas Heath Authority, we know nothing.

Israel is acting in self defense...

Does that kind of work like:

"A government that is allowed to break the law during an emergency will create an emergency to break the law".

That's the idea unfortunately.
Humanity has not progressed in that aspect. And it is that aspect that will hold us back ultimately.

Have you ever read a post so agonizingly stupid that you had the sudden urge to run face first into a brick wall?

I have.

I was considering making a comment about what I believe you are referring to, but I figured someone that is better with words than I will.
And it happened.

It's not like Israel has any desire to annex Palestine or anything of that nature...www.reuters.com...

That's infrastructure money to bolster Israeli towns near Gaza and build security for them, which is obviously needed. It's not Five Billion to build towns inside Gaza. So ... FAIL.

You're right. The idea of a government taking advantage of a crisis situation in order to expand its territory, power & wealth... just wouldn't happen.

Are you sure it isn't millions?

Just a capital in flames.

Yes...the leaders of Hamas do need to surrender. The innocents blood is on their hands.

It appears that Fatah agrees with you and admits a blatant fact.

Fatah hit back at Hamas late Friday, accusing the Islamist movement in a statement of "having caused the return of the Israeli occupation of Gaza" by "undertaking the October 7 adventure".

In a world where you only get to choose between black and white, and you have to side with one.
in that world the weirdest notion can surface that have no basis in reality and are a clear result of heavy indoctrination...

Once they pick a side they're like kids trying to point fingers at everything but themselfs...

So yeah, it does happen but only the bad guys do it...

When's Netanyahu gonna resign for sending briefcases of money to Hamas in September just one month before the attack?

Qatar was giving cash to Hamas. Israel allowed it to happen. The money was supposed to go to civilians in Gaza. Hamas instead kept a bunch of it. Dumb move by Israel to allow it, even if it was supposed to be for humanitarian reasons. They should have known it wouldn't be used for it.

Indeed, some Israeli officials have at times been explicit about their preference for Hamas over the PA. Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, one of the most extremist members of the most extremist Israeli government coalition to date, offered an unusually frank assessment of the government’s approach to Hamas in a 2015 interview.

“The Palestinian Authority is a burden, and Hamas is an asset,” Smotrich said at the time. “It’s a terrorist organization, no one will recognize it, no one will give it status at the [International Criminal Court], no one will let it put forth a resolution at the U.N. Security Council.”

BEFORE THEY VOWED TO ANNIHILATE HAMAS, ISRAELI OFFICIALS CONSIDERED IT AN ASSET

Israel played the Hamas and the Palestine Authority against each other to keep them both weak. Both were considered assets against the other. It was a military strategy. I can see why they did it. Considering it's a middle east sh!t hole, it makes sense to keep the Muslims fighting each other so they don't turn and fight against Israel. But it didn't work.

With the US veto for a seat at the UN it even worked out quite well. That was a weak lie.

US vetoes Palestine’s request for full UN membership

How Israel Helped Create Hamas
Former Israeli official Brig. Gen. Yitzhak Segev , who was the Israeli military governor in Gaza in the early 1980s, told a New York Times reporter that he had helped finance the Palestinian Islamist movement as a “counterweight” to the secularists and leftists of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Fatah party, led by Yasser Arafat. Avner Cohen, a former Israeli religious affairs official who worked in Gaza for more than two decades, told the Wall Street Journal in 2009 that Hamas is “Israel’s creation.” Hamas was the result of this, as Mehdi Hasan explains. First, the Israelis helped build up a militant strain of Palestinian political Islam, in the form of Hamas and its Muslim Brotherhood precursors; then, the Israelis switched tack and tried to bomb, besiege, and blockade it out of existence.

I admit this is the first time I agree with you, even you recognize that Israel turned the Middle East into a shi!t hole and helped Hamas.

What do you think will be the next resignation?
