Ashkenaz European convert Jews create and feed the monster (ISIS, HAMAS) then cry because the monster is hurting them. In retaliation they kill 10s of thousands of civilian Palestinians. Sounds like the Ashkenaz government have hired Hollywood experts to run the show.
Riddle me this…. are the Palestinians that know where the hostages are, innocent?
Are the Palestinians that are holding hostages captive innocent?
Both of these are now known to be true. There’s probably hundreds if not thousands of Palestinians that know exactly where the hostages are, they’re complicit to war crimes…are they still innocent civilians?
Which Palestinians are complicit and which ones are not?
How do you tell the difference between innocents and the ones complicit in war crimes?
You do not have proof they are Palestinians. If you do, please provide this.

Argamani was held by Hamas guards alone in the home of a Palestinian family, while the other three hostages were held at a separate home, also with guards. According to the IDF, Hamas pays such families to hold the hostages in their houses. (Meir Jan said on his release that he, Kozlov and Ziv were held together throughout their eight months in captivity, in a total of four homes.
A Gaza journalist who wrote for Al Jazeera was holding three hostages in his home with his family before he was killed by Israeli commandos during a rescue operation Saturday, according to the Israeli military.
Aljamal’s death was originally reported by Rami Abdu, the head of the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, who claimed Israel Defense Forces soldiers raided the journalist’s home and killed him and several members of his family.

The Palestinian people are going through sheer hell in this conflict because Hamas is operating in a way that puts them in the crossfire that holds hostages right in the heart of crowded civilian areas, that puts military emplacements right in the heart of crowded civilian areas,”
Thank you for asking this question. The answer is simple...You ask them! You ask them in public, but you don't just ask one question; instead you ask two questions... 1. Are you Hamas? Yes or no? 2. Do you denounce Hamas? Yes or no? They can lie about the answer to the 1st question, but they can't lie about the 2nd one. Why? Because they will be signing their own death warrant if they do, and the death warrants for their whole family. If they aren't Hamas, then Hamas doesn't know them, and if they are Hamas, and they're lying, they won't be alive very long. Lastly, if they answer "Yes" to either question, then they just admitted they are terrorists. edit - The price of admission for being allowed through the 'gate' to the new state is not being a terrorist, is not being Hamas. Those are the terms of admission. Failure to follow them will get you sent right back out.

The right to resist has been put forward as a human right, although its scope and content are controversial.[2] The right to resist, depending on how it is defined, can take the form of civil disobedience or armed resistance against a tyrannical government or foreign occupation

What's dumb is your lack of understanding international laws.

According to international law the Palestinians were more justified in their actions on Oct 7th than the Isralies were in theirs leading up to Oct 7th and every day afterwards. That's not me saying that's the globe. An oppressed people has the Right/Duty to resist their oppressors through any means necessary.
Besides Israel doesn't technically have civilians as every person is forced to serve in the military. Something Hamas doesn't have to do because the bombs raining down on them daily are enough motivation for thousands of civilians to take up arms against the apartheid state of Israel.
One man's "terrorist" is another man's "freedom fighter". What I find astounding is you zionists actually love a foreign country more than your own yet you somehow think that's patriotic. Hate to break it to you but the people who founded this country were considered "terrorists" by their oppressors as well.
Who do you think our founding fathers would side with here? The people resisting tyranny or the people spreading tyranny?
It took less than a year for you all to turn into exactly what you claimed to oppose. Spineless stooges the lot of you.
How is this any different than what the radical left did to Trump supporters?
Do you not see you have been manipulated to hate your fellow Americans just like the left? You are helping perpetuate the polarization of this country just as much as them with your rhetoric...

Hama s Branded the Jewish Children and Caged the Female Hostages
A doctor treating freed Hamas hostages in Israel says survivors are suffering from an unprecedented level of "extremely severe psychological abuse" endured during captivity. "I can tell you that on behalf of all the medical and psychological teams treating those who return, the mental states we encountered have no precedent in medical literature. We feel that we have to rewrite the textbooks of post-trauma," Dr. Renana Eitan told "Sunday Night in America."
"Those held captive were subject to starvation, to beating, to sexual abuse. They were being held in inhumane sanitary conditions. Extremely severe psychological abuse was inflicted on them, including separation from family members, separation of siblings, separation of children from their mothers. They were held in solitary confinement and spent long days in total darkness until they developed severe hallucinations," Eitan claimed. "Children were forced to watch brutal videos. They were under constant threats by weapons and threats to harm them even after they were released. They refer to the forced use of psychiatric drugs and other substances."
Eitan also detailed cases where individuals, though appearing physically unharmed, are dealing with "severe post-traumatic symptoms." "Some of the home comers, they look happy, they look fine, they look physically fine, and we try to hold on to those optimistic signs, but still, even those who seem fine, we know that most of them [are] suffering from severe post-traumatic symptoms, they have painful, traumatic memories. And they are entering into dissociative states, where for a moment they feel as if they are still in captivity and only later do they return to the understanding that they have been released," she said.
Hostages report having been beaten, threatened with death, underfed, kept in cages and denied medical care.
Female hostages were kept in cages, the Hostages and Missing Families Forum, a group set up in the wake of the attack, revealed on Monday.
Children were branded in case they escaped, according to Yaniv Yaakov, the uncle of the brothers Or, 16, and Yagil, 12, who were freed on Nov. 27.
“Every child that Hamas took was taken on a motorcycle, and they took each child and put their leg in front of the exhaust pipe, which caused a burn to mark the children so that in case they ran away or fled, they could find them,” he said.
A Thai hostage who was released told Israel’s Channel 12 that the Jewish captives were beaten with electric cables. Israeli hostages were treated worse than the others, he said.
Barbaric Hamas terrorists had “a thing with sexual organs’’ and targeted the genitalia of male and female victims during their Oct. 7 attack on Israel, according to harrowing United Nations testimony Monday.
Some of the fiends’ unspeakable acts involved a murdered woman found with “nails and different objects in her female organs” and a gang-rape victim who had one of her breasts cut off — with her attackers then playing with it in the road, Israel said.
There were “horrific things I saw with my own eyes and I felt with my own hands,” said stricken Simcha Greinman, a volunteer who helped collect the remains of the slaughtered victims, according to the New York Times.
The Jewish state accused the UN during the special session of moving too slowly to address reports that the terror group unleashed sexual violence as a weapon of war in its attack, NBC News reported.

KK, despite what you may think, I actually agree with a lot of the tactical issues you describe, but understand, my issue is more of an overarching strategic one. Yes, there will be problems sorting out Hamas from Palestinians. Anyone who suggests differently is a fool. I get this, I really do. And, it won't happen overnight; it won't. It just won't. I can not say this enough...this is NOT an easy process. Despite modern society's desires to distill every...single...thing into a 2 minute proces, this will NOT be one of those things. It will take time, and it will NOT be easy. Today's cellphone culture wants to make everything 64 words or less...this isn't going to happen that way; it is far too complicated for that. It just is.
It is going to take time. No other way to say it. BUT...there is NO other solution. This entire territory does not belong exclusively to Israel. It doesn't, and it was never intended to. And no sane person on this planet can argue this fact. It just doesn't.
