    “This is the day of the greatest battle to end the last occupation on earth,” Mohammed Deif, the Hamas military commander said, adding that 5,000 rockets were launched.

    What the fuck. Last occupation?

    Is that a deliberate anti-Ukraine statement or are they just completely clueless what’s happening outside their borders?

      Maybe it is a similar but different thing for Deif.

      Israel has occupied The Gaza strip for decades while Russia is invading Ukraine. Is kind of discounted by the occupation of Crimea but since that is in contest right now, maybe that’s not so much an occupation anymore but a war.

      You’re definitely from reddit if your being pedantic about what a military Commander is saying to rally his cause. “Actshually there are other occupations going on”. Also are you really trying to make this about Ukraine??
