Israeli officials said Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was killed by Israel Defense Forces in the southern Gaza Strip on Wednesday. Hamas has not commented publicly on the reports.

Sinwar was the mastermind of the Oct. 7 terror attacks, which killed 1,200 people and set off Israel’s year-long war against Hamas in Gaza. Israel has made killing him a key objective, and may now be more willing to scale back its military operations in Gaza.

    And Israel was created because the Jews got fucking slaughtered and driven from their homes in the world wars and didn’t have anywhere safe that anyone wanted them.

    And the US exists because the Europeans slaughtered the native Americans.

    And England exists because they slaughtered the locals that were there before.

    And modern China exists because they slaughtered the group before them.

    Its almost like this is exactly how it’s always worked.

      Weird way to excuse a genocide but ok.

      Edit: the fact that Jewish people went through a Holocaust, doesn’t excuse them from creating another one.
