A senior Hamas official said the group is open to discussions over a possible truce with Israel, having “achieved its targets.”
Yep, Hamas managed to entrench both sides in their fucking atrocity competition, so Hamas and the Israeli right-wing can both hang onto power by the fear and hatred stirred in their populations. Great. Same time again next year?
Fucking scumsuckers.
After what happened, I don’t think Israel is going to allow Hamas to hang on to power. They are not going to allow Gaza to ever again be in a position to attack Israeli citizens, and that’s going to come at the cost of a lot of innocent Palestinians.
Sounds just like Putin saying they’re open to talks.
Just as a little reality check for all Hamas “fans” (Hamas not Palestine!!) out here which are actually comparing them to Israel or openly defending them. The Hamas is founded on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which are a fairytale full of antisemitism and proven, false statements about Jews and how they are responsible for every bad thing that happens during the centuries and their diabolical plot for world domination (of course one of the favorite lecture of the Nazis)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Protocols_of_the_Elders_of_Zion
Those idiots are really believing this fairytale and they use it to justify the murder of innocent people and Jews in general. So the next time you step in in defense of the Hamas or when you compare them to Israel, keep in mind that they are doing this because they believe in some antisemitic fairytale written by a crazy Russian back in the old days…they are basically Scientology only more degenerated and more violent.
You should also be asking the question–are Lemmy developers anti-semtic?
This whole situation has seriously caused me to reconsider a great many things about Lemmy. I can’t support lemmy, at all, if they are pro-murdering terrorist (Hamas, ISIS, et al). The lemmy.ml instance (run by the developers) has serious foundational issues and to me, I am wondering who it is that is writing this software, and who is paying them.
Just block lemmy.ml - who cares what the devs think. It’s an open source project.
It’s a problem for states that are supporting developers who are supporting terrorists.

Kbin isn’t really a fork, but it does have a similar feature set.
If you were genuinely curious one of the devs has a massive manifesto. No need to speculate I’m pretty sure it covers every topic known to man.
I don’t recall seeing anything particularly antisemitic but I was honestly so dumbfounded I wouldn’t know where to start looking.
So I went back because I was curious. Again it is a fucking wild ride, I suggest yall search it out. I’m not gonna post it because I don’t wanna bring any unnecessary bandwagoning. But I searched for anti-semitism real quick and found this:
It proves absolutely nothing but it would be pretty weird to see the devs of lemmy cite anti-semitism as a reason Orwell was bad if they were also anti-semitic.
crazy, lemmy is dead to me after these posts. people need to know, it is unsupportable imo.

Bro stop crying. The devs don’t profit from this like a private company would. Don’t use their instance, spin up your own, the project is open source and bigger than them. Your political grandstanding means nothing.
can you elaborate on this? I wonder if the situation is any other on a platform like reddit so I suppose it’s the people not the platform
Lemmy.ml is run by the developers on lemmy, and if you look at the modlog, it looks like the lemmy developers deleted comments then banned a shit ton of people who were not virulently anti-Israel. It is pretty shocking to me, as the anti-Israel stuff remained. Who are the developers, and who is paying them?
Move to another instance. Done.
Please state your sources…

oh fuck right off with this poor attempt to derail the conversation! you know exactly what i’m talking about when I use the term antisemitism…
Sure, but they aren’t wrong. It’s anti judaic not anti semitic.
No it’s not, you’re dead wrong:
Due to the root word Semite, the term is prone to being invoked as a misnomer by those who interpret it as referring to racist hatred directed at all “Semitic people” (i.e., those who speak Semitic languages, such as Arabs, Assyrians, and Arameans). This usage is erroneous; the compound word antisemitismus (lit. ‘antisemitism’) was first used in print in Germany in 1879 as a “scientific-sounding term” for Judenhass (lit. ‘Jew-hatred’), and it has since been used to refer to anti-Jewish sentiment alone.

It really always amazes me how people like you are able top post really dumb shit like this while we are living in the age of technology where it is so easy to do a fact check in seconds from various trustful sources…I really can’t explain it, it’s either ignorance or you are doing it on purpose…
Nope, the etymology of “anti-Semitism” originates with one man named willhelm who used it specifically as a racial term though yes clearly a veiled commentary on Judaism. It didn’t however change the meaning of the word as used by its Creator.
Google it’s etymology and get back to me about how “people like me” are.
And the swastika was originally a religious symbol in Eurasia.
While true, it is a pointless fact that contributes nothing to the discussion as they are commonly used in a different way and understood by everybody. This is nothing more than derailing a discussion.
Across the planet actually, notably American native populations used it.
That’s my point. Using “anti Semitic” as anti judaic is soft propaganda.
Can you please just fuck off and leave me alone with your antisemitic bullshit and false statements? Nevermind there is a blocking function for people like you…
Anti judaic is what it would be, I’m not however bigoted in that manner. I hate both of these fucks and religion in general for excusing such behavior.
But no screech about how objective fact isn’t so because your fee fees got hurt by things I never said.
I want you to talk to 50 different people and ask them what “antisemitism” means. See how many even mention Arabs.
Arabic is a semitic language. This is like saying Bengalis and Irish folks are both of the same clade because Gailge and Bangla are both IE languages.
Real Putin energy here.
We took hostages so now you should negotiate rather than genocide the entire Gaza strip.
Yeah, good luck with that.
So you’re saying Israel should glass the entire strip? Ok, got it.
Because collective punishment is totally ok and definitely NOT a war crime.
It’s not going to be a collective punishment. But also there won’t be any negotiation this time. That train has left the station long time ago.
Yup, I do not agree with either side, but I’m pretty sure Israël will be taking the scorched earth approach this time around.
Honestly, I just want this conflict to end. Pragmatically, that seems like the only way to actually end it.
Umm, no.
Is Israel genocides 2 million people, they will draw the ire from the entire Arab world and anyone with a shred of decency.
That would literally be on par with the holocaust.
Not if they give an evaluation warning a few weeks ahead of time
Sure. They would have to do that though and also ensure those in Gaza have the means to evacuate.
They’re threatening to starve Gaza into submission.
It’s not going to be a collective punishment.
What do you think it will be?

LMAO come on, guess they didn’t expect the IDF to fight back 🤷🏽
Taking a shit in the public water supply, getting roughed up as people demand to know why you just shat in the only watersource, and then you tell them to chill and that you “got your point across” lmao.
I think he mean in the sense of hostage negotiations.
Practically speaking he’s right, Hamas got what they wanted by doing a day of raids for some bullet spray kills, a few IDF outposts, and taking hostages for negotiating power.
Whether or not Israel will actually decide to negotiate for anything is another thing lol.
Hamas fucked around, is finding out, and want to talk “truce?” What does a truce with a bunch of genocidal terrorists look like?
Not carpet bombing the Gaza strip, where 2 and a half million palestinians live I’d imagine.
If Israel was carpet bombing the Gaza Strip, we wouldn’t see hundreds dead. We would see hundreds of thousands dead.
Fair enough. They seem poised to try their best, I truly hope the situation de escalates and actual solutions are sought after.
That all depends on whether Hamas starts executing hostages and uploading the videos to the internet, like they’re threatening
Good question, should ask Israel the same thing.
Lol no way; Hamas needs to be wiped out completely. They can never, ever, be trusted and will just do this shit again in the future.
But Israel is allowed to murder men, women and children and steal homes, land for decades right?
Hypocrisy at its finest.
Yeah, what Hamas did is entirely wrong but don’t forget that Israel been oppressing Palestinians for decades.
Hypocrisy at its finest.
Nope. I don’t support Israel doing that either. However, Hamas will never tolerate peace. They will never allow a 2-state compromise; they want Israel completely gone. And Israel is allowed to defend it’s borders. There is no happy ending here for anyone.
The right-wing party in Israel (the party currently in control even after losing multiple elections) will also never support peaceful co-existence. They will never allow a real two state solution where the other state has control over its borders, air, water, import rights, etc. They want Palestine completely gone, and in fact Bibi was just at the UN arguing that Israel already has complete control and ownership over the Palestinian territories. Palestine is allowed to defend against the longest running occupation in history. There is no happy ending here as long as the Israeli boot is on the Palestinian neck.
Unfortunately for Palestine, Israel will win.
They already have total military control. What does win mean?
Relocate the population from the Gaza strip to the West Bank?
Birth control in the water supply, so the population slowly ages out?
Internment camps for all military aged men?
It will likely mean leveling Gaza to the ground and telling its residents to find somewhere else to live without giving them support. It won’t be pleasant for anyone.
The Gaza strip is within Israel’s borders. They hold direct power over whether the people who live there have electricity water and food.
Israel is not defending itself. They are using hamas attacks as a pretext to commit mass violence on Palestinians.
Of course Israel is defending itself against a homicidal organization. The fact it’s in Israel’s borders is irrelevant.
Its very relevant. Is depriving all 2 and a half million palestinians of food water and electricity self defense? Is bombing palestinian homes an act of self defense? Is depriving palestinians of human rights an act of self defense?
Self defense is not murdering innocent people. It never is no matter what. They’re using the attack from hamas as a pretext to commit mass acts of violence against innocent Palestinians.
Maybe I’m ignorant, but isn’t hammas a terrorist group? If so fuck them, but keep Palestine alone.
Hamas is a response to a repressive Israeli regime. Even if you “wipe out” Hamas, another group will just fill its place.
It’s not a matter of just getting rid of the “bad guys” and hoping the forces of good win the day… It requires a monumental shift not only in the treatment of the Palestinians, but in the entire political structure of the area. Which is neither happening easily nor quickly. And sadly, there’s not a whole lot we can do to help the situation.
The Palestinian people have to see a better option than extremist violence. People will take what they think is their best incentive. If they have no hope, if they feel like they have no representation, then they choose violence. So we have to give the people a better option than Hamas
deleted by creator
Sure. What you say is true. Everyone responds to their incentives.
There is a asymmetry in this scenario though, the Israeli government has 100% military control over the entire country.
I don’t know the solution to the scenario, but if we keep repeating previous patterns, we’re going to get previous outcomes.
deleted by creator
I don’t know if you know this but Hamas is controlling the administration of the Gaza Strip. They are a terrorist organisation but also the de facto local government.
Ok, but destroying Gaza and killing all the inhabitants is still genocide and a war crime.
Hamas really killed themselves with their murders, Israels response will be brutal and long. But they will not kill “everyone” as you say, they are bombing Hamas targets and many of them are located in civilian spots. It will not stop Israel after these terror attacks and everyone knew this beforehand. Israels actions before have been exactly the same.
Hopefully Hamas will be completely eradicated and the Palestinians will reject these fascist leaders from now on, for betraying their trust and leading their people to even more suffering.
It is all just tragic and awful.
Majority of Palenstinians support Hamas.
I have lived through terrorism. They will kill anyone who is brave enough to spose them, and the rest are too afraid of speaking out from retaliation, Hamas is no different.

I mean yeah it’d be great if you could just do that. But how would you? And more importantly, how is the state of Israel proposing to get rid of Hamas? What actions are they taking right now with that aim? They’re bombing palestinians. Just random indiscriminate bombing. How exactly would that eliminate Hamas? Their plan is just to kill as many palestinians as they can, Netanyahu has said himself he plans to “turn Gaza into a desert island” and his defense minister has said “our enemies are human animals”. It’s plain as day what they plan to do.
Yes I’m aware of what Israel is doing. No, I don’t know of any better ways to get rid of Hamas.
At least you’re honest. I don’t see mass murder of innocent Palestinian men women and children as acceptable as a kind of attack on Hamas. Palestinians have as much right to life as Israelis do, and we should be as outraged at their senseless deaths as we have been about the festival goers.

Wipe them away. Fucking monsters.
Have you seen the videos of abducted children in cages? Hamas must be removed.
Have you seen the video of the American dude from NY going to Palestine and stealing a Palestinian’s house?
Have you seen my glasses?

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Oct 9 (Reuters) - A senior Hamas official said the group is open to discussions over a possible truce with Israel, having “achieved its targets.”
Moussa Abu Marzouk told Al Jazeera in a phone interview that Hamas was open to “something of that sort” and “all political dialogues” when asked whether the Islamist group is willing to discuss a possible ceasefire.

Normally I find this bot terrible, but in this case, the source is so tiny there isn’t much for it to do.
Exchange prisoners for Hamas leaders, make Hamas say outright that they see Palestinian lives as lesser than their own.
If they actually have enough spine to take the deal, start a whole new Nuremberg trial and purge everyone down to the “just following orders” grunts and rebuild from there.

Let’s try this conversation again in 2 weeks.
Oh man, look I don’t want to get into picking sides or whatever and it’s extremely cold hearted to look at is so frankly… but.
Israel is going to completely annex all of Palestine by force and fully occupy them even more than before…
They are already fully mobilising everything and looking steamroll anything that can’t get out of the way or that stands and fights.
The general vibe I’m seeing is they will do their best to straight up crush everything once and for all, while they feel they have the geo political cover to probably get away with it.
So many people are going to die.
I hope every piece of shit Hamas son of a bitch feels every rocket blast, every bullet, and every knife that’s coming for them.
Hopefully just the Hamas bitches
