I have yet to see a lot of people criticize the terrorism in the region.
They could have released the hostages and found other ways of handling whatever problems they have with their neighbor
No prospects
Meanwhile their leaders in Hamas live in high rises and half the time they are in Qatar or some wealthy location that isn't even on that strip
Hamas keeps their own people poor.
Should probably look at who was running that place
Also, there were so many people putting their energy into protesting Israel, countless news stations and celebrities were against it. Why didn't they put their energy into trying to make Gaza a better place?
Seems like a lot of solutions seem to just go completely ignored, almost like it's because people just want to see rockets fly past human shields
Not allowed out
In large part because when their muslim neighbors took in Palestinians they experienced a sharp rise in terrorism and uprising and had to either kill or relocate them back. Their neighbors don't want them in their land.
The way they could have gotten sympathy was by not electing Hamas, giving Hamas an 80% approval rating, and cheering over 10/7
Hamas does almost nothing but steal aid from Palestinians and fire rockets at Israel
Sounds like there are a lot of alternative solutions to this problem. Isreal did more to help Palestinians by wiping out Hamas than Hamas ever did for Palestinians
Artificial intelligence is now going out of its way to reinforce REAL STUPIDITY.
Unskippable Google AI ad. Woman dressed in too-nice clothes looking down at toilet tank hardware laid out on a tile floor. "Hey, Google, how do all these parts work together?" This is obviously the wrong question; the right one being, "How to install these parts" or even better, unfolding the damn paper that comes in the box with pictures and step by step instructions how to install them. Only by virtue of being inside the same toilet tank do the fill valve and flapper "work together" and this dumb bitch won't understand any of the hows and whys even after muddling through the job. Still, the ad ends with her dancing out of her $50,000 dollar bathroom like a TikTok short.
Next ad in this campaign, a guy brushing up on his rambling stream of consciousness woman emulation game. "Hey, Google- what's the best time this weekend to host a barbecue, and what's a dish I won't have to stand next to the grill the whole time?" Fuck it, I just closed the browser rather than endure another 2s of this retardation-amplification.
Read More@First-light Israel runs tightly refined DARVO game at the Nation-State level. Sad that virtually all of the older/stronger/"better" nation states of the world default to playing right into it.
I mean, Mossad and AIPAC successfully embedded their tentacles into the highest levels of US Government, strongly compelling or incentivizing pro-Israel choices at every important step. But, average citizens are free to think and do as they please, yet so many of them default to going all-in on the Hasbara account of events without ever spending a moment's thought on the merits of alternative explanations and pathways.
All they had to do was release the hostages
For a community whose FOUNDATIONAL principles include seeing through manipulative cultural narratives, groupthink, avoidance of "getting cucked", etc,
It always amazes me to see how quickly the whole lot of it gets chucked right out the window when it comes to Israel, and also MAGA.
@Vermillion-Rx It was a bad calculation but sometimes I think people just have to do such things. They were being gravely mistreated by Israel and slowly ethnically cleansed. Sometimes when you are in a hard spot you fight and see if it can change anything or you perish slowly anyway.
It must be terrible raising kids in that tiny patch of land knowing you are a second class human and not allowed out. Aside from the aid industry there is very little industry or prospects. What are you living for -to be contained and slowly pushed out while the rest of the world is living in a golden age of freedom (probably an ending golden age but still its better than historical averages).
I think they were not calculating on loss of life but on making a statement that they hoped the world heard and that their suffering when punished might attract some sympathy.

Super disturbing - thoughts?
- Israel sleeper cell in US, Adam Sheafe, a Zionist with Hebrew tattoos around his neck, confessed to the gruesome murder and crucifixion of 76-year-old Pastor Bill Schonemann in April 2025 in Arizona — the first of 14 pastors he planned to kill because he thinks that will save Israel from other Gods and will help their own "God" (satan) agenda. He thinks he is a saint by doing this and helps their own "God" (satan).*
Can you explain this coincidence?
Last year, I met a girl who was apparently head over heels for me. We interacted a bit over the phone, set up a date, and then she flaked—acting like nothing happened. After a while, she mentioned that everything about me was "great", except she saw me as a "player." So, we stopped talking.
A month or two later later, I met another girl, same age (21) —a hairdresser. She was obsessed with me, showing it in the most obvious yet childish ways (insecure, I guess). We went on one date, and afterward, she became super clingy—yet whenever I tried to set up another date, she’d dodge making plans while still hovering around my usual spot, trying to weave herself into my daily life (we both had friends at a café I used to frequent, and the girls working there would bring me the gossip about her. she used to work at the hairdresser next door).
I got tired of her games, told her I wasn’t tolerating that BS, and cut her off, I have to admit, harshly. She almost cried. At the same time, I started dating another girl right in front of her (you could see her stomach drop when she saw us together). She changed her work location and when I asked about her sudden disappearance, the gossip was that it was to avoid me.
Now, almost a year later, I’ve run into both of them—twice—and they’re hanging out together! They’ve apparently become friends. Before this, they had zero connection—didn’t know each other, came from totally different worlds, didn’t go to the same school etc.. They just have similar SMV, the same age, and at the same level of mental maturity (not the sharpest tools in the shed).
I’m baffled. How does this even happen?
If two chicks have the same taste in men, why would it be implausible that they'd have more in common with each other, or have difficulties becoming friends?
