    Of course. With no international consequences, and the active support of the US, why would they limit their ethnic cleansing to just one colony. If you’re already on board with apartheid, and genocide, this is a no brainer.

    Considering Hamas has a significant (far lesser than Gaza) presence in the West Bank, this is to be expected. Israel has stated one of their goals for this war is to destroy the organization completely. I’m on mobile so I’ll dig up a source later, but there was a rally in Ramallah flying Hamas flags today, which is extremely surprising given the animosity between them and the PA.

      Hamas is a movement. What do they think will be the outcome of this. They have set the stage for full blown war across the region. Unfortunately the US will keep the arms flooding in as well so the only logical conclusion is hell on earth for civilians, and continuation of this vicious cycle of violence.

        Well Hamas’ charter does state their goal is to kill all Israelis. Both versions. Their goals are pretty clear.

        Israel has not formally declared their goals for this war, but my guess is that it’s any mix of the following:

        • Kill all military membership of Hamas
        • Kill all senior leadership of Hamas
        • Kill all political members of Hamas
        • Return the hostages who are still alive
        • Return the bodies of those who are not

        Once those goals are achieved, my guess is the exit plan is some mix of these:

        • Up and leave Gaza. Just like that.
        • Hand over rule of Gaza to one of the following:
          • The PA
          • Egypt
        • Establish a security corridor inside Gazan territory
        • Establish a security corridor inside Israeli territory

        There are other options but they are unfeasible or so unlikely I didn’t list them.

    So where has the hospital story gone? Need another story to get enraged about so you have at least a little bit of purpose in life?

      The hospital story is now with the journalists getting bombed story, the fleeing civilians getting bombed story, the people waiting at the border getting bombed story, the very real top secret documents and maps found after the attack story, and the other news that came out in the past.

      It’s now buried under a pile of more recent news. It really shouldn’t be surprising to see news constantly getting spewed out and forgotten during a war.

      The pace of things happening in this war is increasing. Every other hour there are new ( or the same) areas being bombed by Israel in gaza. And now they’re targeting people in the west bank, where there isn’t even a hamas prescence. So even the Israeli narrative of exterminating hamas is falling apart with their own actions.

      I don’t know what you expect, should everyone put their heads in the sand and pretend nothing is happening? Or should we make people aware of what is happening and changing in this conflict?
