    I love the idea that half the people in this thread don’t understand that 2 things can be bad at once.

    You don’t have to fellate Hamas to see Israel is genociding.

    Also, dismissing Hamas as lame terrorists doesn’t mean one is a “Zionist” or whatever the ascribed insult is this week.

    It took them nine months to finally target a “Hamas leader”, and they assassinate a political, not military, leader after butchering every single family member of his beforehand.

      “Truly, we belong to God, and truly, to Him we shall return.” (Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un)

      Genocide against people of Muslim faith will make them deeper believers : israNazism in action.

      N.B. The Arabic word “Allah” is typically translated to English as “God”.

    So they killed one of the negotiators, and who is considered moderate and more diplomatic.

    I wonder how the relatives of the hostages still held in Gaza feel about it. Israel is doing everything possible to hijack the ceasefire negotiations process.

    I wonder what level of security these people follow, considering they know Israel could kill them at any time.

    It seems almost ridiculous that Iran can’t prevent precision air strikes within its own borders.

    Also wasn’t this the dude responsible for leading the ceasefire negotiations bruh

      Israel has access to American spy sats. Haniyeh’s location would be a poor kept secret as he show up publicly for the presidential inauguration of the Iranian president on tuesday.

      Destroying things with bombs and missiles is a lot easier than stopping the missiles. Even Iran managed to strike Israeli military locations beginning this year through the biggest defense layer in the world.

    Interesting. It almost reads like a PR statement, restrained, not too inflammatory, like someone threw him under the bus.

    The trouble with killing the people who say the propaganda is you eventually end with the people who believe the propganda in charge. This was a consistent takeaway from the war on terror. If Israel were looking to prolong the war, taking out the relative moderates would probably help.

      It seems obvious that Netanyahu does not want peace. This war is the only thing keeping him in power. There is no incentive for him to seek peace.

      Genuinely curiuos why this comment in particular got obliterated. Do people dispute the premise that the leaders are more rational then the followers?

        Pissed off both sides. Pro Palestinian posters don’t like that he was called a propagandist and Pro Isrealis don’t like any implication Netanyahu is killing a massive number of people to stay in power.

      Not "Israel " but Netanyahu and the religious extreamist. Israel wants to release all the hostages and end the useless war already

        Hell, Iran wants to have it prolonged too. They’ve dreamed of this. Spent a lot of time, energy and money to have things blow up this way. They don’t care: the ends justify the means.

          Iran didnt show any sign they want to prelong this war. The fact that before their drone attack notify both the US and the UK about the time of the attack refute your claim. Because they have the right to lunch a bigger attack if they wanted.

          Religious extremists in Iran. It’s a global war that the 3 religions declared on the western world, but somehow we keep calling the countries by names.

      When did Ismael made a propaganda statement. He is a diplomatic office leader. His job is to meet and speak with other power in region.

      Here’s a picture of the 2 confirmed victims of that first strike you’re referring to.

      Edit for sake of accuracy: Hezballah just confirmed the death of their targeted member after previously claiming he survived which should put death toll at 4 including a woman and the 2 mentioned kids along with 74 injured in the strike

      If you define “good” as 1) a dangerous escalation that could spark a regional war and 2) effectively killing all hope of a ceasefire in Gaza, then I guess so?

          Of course. Who else would be providing the requisite military hardware?

          The slavish display that we witnessed at Netanyahu’s speech in Congress makes it clear that the US is going to back Israel no matter what.
