Political Thread in memory of David Reid. (R.I.P.)

Maybe they did, maybe they didn't, truth is the first casualty of war and the Hamas propaganda machine works overtime providing guff for their useful idiots to agonize over.

It's not really a war though is it sinkov? Murdering and starving to death a captive audience who have nowhere else to go is murder plain & simple.

It's not really a war though is it sinkov? Murdering and starving to death a captive audience who have nowhere else to go is murder plain & simple.

Whatever anyone wants to call it, it is a tragedy.

Whilst the left/woke brigade would not call it war, how else would one describe the actions of Hamas/ Palestinians in October 2023 as anything other than a declaration of war against the state of Israel. A small incursion? Freedom fighters trying to liberate their country - not that justifies murder, rape and other atrocities?

In any war, one side can surrender. Hamas could surrender to save its own people from further slaughter. Hamas could agree to a ceasefire and talks to try to resolve the problem. Hamas leaders could come out from behind their own people and give themselves up for the greater good of their people.

They have done none of the above so horribly, the war goes on with the resultant casualties.

Hamas has its part to play in bringing this tragedy to an end. So far they have done nothing to end peacefully what they so aggressively started.
