General Israel/Palestine discussion thread - Part 4

Structure was built by Israel decades ago, Hamas just using the space.

Israel knew about the tunnels under the hospital, because they dug them? Is that right? If so, what did they use them for?

Does it matter?
There's nothing inherently wrong or underhand about building a tunnel. It's what you do with it that counts.
Wiki says the complex was originally an underground operating theatre, that Hamas subsequently enlarged.

In any case, I'm not sure I get the point of your question. Is it your claim that Israel had a military base there, that they used to launch attacks on the Palestinians? Or are you hinting that Israel somehow laid a clever trap for Hamas, by building tunnels to entice Hamas?

The point of the question was to learn more. Knowing that Hamas did not dig the original tunnel system, is part of my increasing knowledge that Israel has been exaggerating Hamas use of human shields.

Hamas demonise Israel and Israel demonise Hamas, as both sides try to gain support and justify their cause. That is typical behaviour of the vile men of violence, on both sides, who are responsible for the deaths of many innocents, on both sides, who just want to peacefully get on with their lives.

Yeah, Israel digging tunnels under a hospital is morally equivalent to Hamas launching military attacks from a base under a hospital.
 
Utter nonsense. There has been nothing you have posted in this thread about learning mote. You are stridently anti Israel. Full stop.

Why do you misrepresent what I have actually said? What is the point in your lying?
 
How to insidiously distort Reality and History in the service of ZIONISM

Here is a potent recipe for effective strategic chicanery and machinations in order to warp and distort FACTS of history and REALITY and decency... IN THE NAME OF ZIONISM

  1. Make a perfidious Zionist claim (e.g. descent from mythical fairy tales protagonists and divinely decreed rights to genocide people and steal lands)
  2. Repeat it all over the propaganda dissemination outlets you can control
  3. Decry any refutation of the lie with lies about the debunkers (e.g. calling them antisemites or crazy nuts or self-hating-semites)
  4. Refuse to acknowledge any FACTS and even REALITY itself that clearly and irrefutably prove the lie is a perfidy
  5. Bring to bear all possible power to censor and cancel and wipe out any of the above embarrassing facts
  6. Malign and deride and vilify and slander anyone pointing out the FACTS of REALITY that belie the lie
  7. If enough Presidents and other venal bought and paid for liars in power are repeating the lie proceed to step 8... otherwise go back to step 2
  8. Make new lies that use the lie in step 1 as consensus established undeniable factual reality
  9. Repeat steps 2 to 9 for every SPAWNED NEW lie distorting reality into a hideous MYTH.

And with the advent of Social media the hoodwinking recipe is so easy to bake... the apparatuses mentioned in step 2 are many and varied... one of which is a brigade of foot soldiers all over the social media... spreading the lies and fighting indefatigably to carry out steps 2 to 9.

And that is exactly what the social media division of Zionist Jihadists are doing.

The "tunnels" under the hospital were simply for expanded space for the hospital, built in the 1990s. Hamas using a hospital for military operations is terribly immoral and puts the lives of hundreds of innocent people at risk. Another war crime by war criminals.
 
Why are the Israeli's exchanging criminals for hostages? Why do they exchange so many criminals for each hostage?

""She was 16 when they snatched her from me, she’s 24 now. I couldn’t watch her fall asleep for 8 long years, tonight she’s sleeping in my arms. She’s still my little baby. Time stopped for me.” The mother of Marah, who was released today in the hostage swap. Free Palestine"

Reply by an Israeli

"Let me fix it for you:
She was not "snatched" from you. She was arrested after stabbing a Border police cop
And it is not a "hostage swap": The Israelis freed are children, women, and elderly who were brutally kidnapped from their homes only because they were Jews. The Palestinians released are convicted terrorists kept in jail because they tried to murder Jews"

A more proportionate response to the initial Hamas attack would have been to snatch an equivalent number of Palestinians as hostages and then exchange 1 for 1. Giving the Palestinians criminals in return for hostages is a very poor deal, especially when it is far more than 1 to 1.

Agreed.

LOL, "convicted terrorists".

Many of the Palestinians freed are nothing but teenage boys who threw rocks at Israeli troops. Terrorists? My ass.

Ignore the rhetoric for one moment, why is Israeli swapping criminals for hostages and many more criminals than they are getting back as returned hostages?

You are now embarrassing yourself. Please stop.

Anyone with the slightest knowledge of this issue knows that Israel values the lives of their citizens much more highly than Hamas values the lives of Palestinians. Israel does not use its citizens as human shields.

Hamas have learned that the Israelis will hand back criminals who have attacked Israelis, by taking Israelis hostage. That guarantees Hamas will take hostages.

See: Samir Kuntar

Israel has been known to agree with paying the asking price for return of cadavers.

We want to see the remains of Oren Shaul and Hadar Goldin. That matter first.
The HAMAS says 'all prisoners' and I would be willing to bet Israel counters with a number in the 5,000 range. (Plus all the Palestinian bodies IDF has collected while plowing along since 10-7 and including 10-7) and the Red Cross can get more deeply involved, thanks so much.

Red Cross was promised access. C'mon, let's demand they fulfill that mandate.
The ICRC should be good for something, this is their big chance to shine.

Cuz Hamas wants to swap persons for persons. Why not 1 to 1? Ask Bibi, he's in charge.
 
"National colonization will succeed" -- Theodor Herzl

...This is what started this war...


Nope... it is not a war... what caused the 2023 latest bout of repeated incessant Ethnic cleansing and genocide and apartheid... is a "Zionist National Colonization by Settlers" as was planned 127 years ago...

Theodor Herzl said:
... our position to the earlier Zionists ... National colonization will succeed.

Moreover, the question as to what we shall do with the settlers causes us no embarrassment. We want to attach them to the earth,
