Israel vs Hamas (2 Viewers)

Looks like the fight is on with Israeli soldiers and civilians amongst the dead already. Question becomes, how long before we get dragged into this?

Netanyahu says Israel is ‘at war’ after Hamas launches surprise attack, takes hostages | CNN

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that the country was “at war” on Saturday, after Palestinian militants in Gaza fired a deadly barrage of rockets and sent gunmen into Israeli territory in a major escalation of the long running conflict between the two sides.

The three, all age 20, were visiting the home of one of the victim’s relatives and were walking when they were confronted by a white man with a handgun.

“Without speaking, he discharged at least four rounds from the pistol and is believed to have fled,” Murad said in a news release. “All three victims were struck, two in their torsos and one in the lower extremities

update to this ^ I read they have a suspect in custody

This is hardly going unnoticed. It’s all over the news.

Yeah. It's good that this incident is widely covered but my point is that, unfortunately, not all such hate crimes against Palestinians all over the world get the attention they should get while everyone talking about how only Israelis are suffering from Hamas.

I dont really see it here. The mom and child attacked in Chicago were also covered extensively. I couldn’t say about the rest of the world, but it doesn’t seem to be a problem in the US.

I don't really think that there is any question that the amount of coverage would have been 10x if it had been three Jewish people shot by a Palestinian in Vermont.

Is Eaton, the shooter, Jewish?

We will have to agree to disagree here. This story is getting really heavy coverage, not sure it would have been covered any differently either way.

For you to regard or disregard, I won’t claim how accurate it is, but will consider it:

Mass Assassination Factory”: Israel Using AI to Generate Targets in Gaza, Increasing Civilian Toll​

The report’s author, journalist Yuval Abraham, has found that the IDF’s increasing use of AI is partly a response to previous operations in Gaza when Israel quickly ran out of military targets, causing it to loosen its constraints on attacks that could kill civilians. In other words, the “civilian devastation that is happening right now in Gaza” is the result of a “war policy that has a very loose interpretation of what a military target is.” This targeting of private homes and residences to kill alleged combatants means that “when a child is killed in Gaza, it’s because somebody made a decision it was worth it.” It has turned the Israeli military into a “mass assassination factory,” with a “total disregard for Palestinian civil life,” continues Abraham, who also notes that, as an Israeli journalist, his reporting is still subject to military censors. We also discuss another recent report revealing that Israel may have received intelligence about Hamas’s planned attack more than a year in advance of October 7, but ignored it.

These protests are getting out of hand. What does this Jewish shop owner in Philly have to do with the Israeli government? This is why pro-Palestinian protestors get the anti-Semitic label, IMO.

Damn shame. I think he's at Brown. I hope despite his paralysis he returns to Brown and continues with his life.

I can't take this.

Israel, find another way.

The consequences of their own actions are distracting from their cause. Idiots.

This appears to have been planned. Unbelievable.




The evidence of sexual violence on Oct. 7, Israel says, is overwhelming: Witness accounts of militants raping women; bodies of women discovered with their clothes removed; others shot through the head and the breast.

Yes, it’s just sickening and isn’t really being reported as much as it should be, IMO. I’ve seen references to far, far worse than what your post says as well.
