An Israeli military spokesperson confirmed that there were “hostage situations” in the southern city of Ofakim and the nearby kibbutz of Beeri.
Hamas said it had taken “dozens” of Israeli soldiers hostage and moved them to the Gaza Strip as footage emerged appearing to show gunmen in military fatigues leading a group of mostly barefoot women down a street in Israel.
The announcement and video verified by NBC News came hours after Hamas launched a deadly land, air and sea attack and fired a huge barrage of rockets at Israel.
With how skewed the power balance is against them, I support any effort at all to fight against Israel.
not every underdog in the world is morally in the right, you know. There’s also a huge imbalance in power between the January 6th rioters and the United States Government—are you suggesting the rioters were in the right?
ugh, maybe I don’t want to know the answer.
Once again, shitty comparison. I don’t even think.I have to explain how this one makes no sense.
that was your logic: you support them because the power balance is skewed.
many evil groups are small, and weak, and underdogs. Rooting for them on that basis is stupid.
I have already outlined why the Palestinians are justified.

This same asshole had the audacity to tell me that my ancestors never lived in Israel. Don’t engage.
^^ this guy tried to tell me ancient occupants of the region (who are almost certainly are not his blood ancestors) have a better claim to that land than the populus living there for the last several thousand years. Don’t engage, he’s clearly having a bout with psychosis.
Nothing justifies that, but every justified war effort in history have included atrocities. War is hell, and the way you look at it, especially when the Palestinian population has been forced to violence through almost a century of wanton oppression, is shortsighted.
The 1/6 attackers are getting light sentences
