Hamas initiated a war with a horrific military/terrorist attack on Israeli civilians on October 7. Sometimes when a belligerent starts a war, it ends up losing territory.
The Palestinian Authority only has exclusive security control of roughly 18% of the West Bank – Area A. However the IDF basically enters it whenever they deem it necessary anyway, so exclusive is a misnomer.
The PA has joint security control with Israel in 22% known as Area B. The rest of the West Bank – 60% in Area C – is under direct Israeli control. Area C is where all the illegal Israeli settlements are. Palestinians are also pretty much never granted building permits, etc in Area C. And it’s worth noting that Areas A and B are non-contiguous as dotted islands of control inside of Area C.
The Palestinian state is in the West Bank (about 16x the land area of Gaza).
It would be more accurate to say that the Palestinian state lost control of Gaza to Hamas, and Hamas is losing Gaza to Israel.
Because the west bank isn’t under IDF occupation yet? Every day settlers are carving out chunks of it, and there’s checkpoints everywhere.
It would be more accurate to say Israel is stealing it

Israel started a war with Palestinians with their occupation in 1967 (if we forget the whole Nakba thing).
Look man, bad shit happens in war. Just don’t pretend to be the fucking good guy when your militant to civilian kill ratio is 1:3.
According to Wikipedia the ratio for the October 7 attack was around that figure, yes:
Plus the rapes, tortures, and abductions.
Yes we know, and that’s why we are all so curious to find out why you only give a shit about Israeli civilians. You cunt.
I think we all know the answer to that question.
They think there are no civilians in Gaza, only Hamas and other animals that need to be exterminated.
I mean, an israeli spokesman on cable news wouldn’t even admit that Israel had killed babies in the mass bombings.
So, if only hamas has been killed, and by the Israeli govts own talking points no other humans, then the ratio is like 15000 Militants : 0 Civilians.
Probably the best war ever guys!
And now it’s the reverse on a 10:1 ratio.

The West Bank is a Bantustan. Plain and simple.
Not wrong, but same outcome.
