Forces had no direct confrontation with Hamas terrorists who killed hostages; ‘The IDF and security forces are doing everything possible to bring all hostages home as quickly as possible. This news shakes us all,’ says army spokesperson Hagari

Israeli forces discovered the bodies of six hostages in a 65-foot-deep tunnel in Rafah, approximately a kilometer from where hostage Farhan Alkadi was recently freed. The IDF had no precise intelligence on the hostages’ location in recent months but knew there were captives in the sector, leading to a gradual and cautious operation in Rafah since the ground offensive began.

    My brother, I’m saying that the British had colonial ownership of that land and carved out the area, displacing people in the process for Ashkenazi Jews that did not live there before WW2.

    You are clearly a bad faith actor that doesn’t follow up on any of my inquires, and after having given you the benefit of the doubt in assuming your good faith, I’m blocking you.

      The term Palestinian mandate is in reference to carving out the region, not carving the people out of existence. The British also sent Christian zionists before they sent Jews. The Palestinian civil war which led to Israeli expansion also was after the British ceded the territory.

      If you want to accuse others of acting in bad faith because they know the historical context better than you, that’s fine, but if you want to open the door to making this a discussion about bad faith, let’s go for it.

      Let’s start with people like you on here, loudly proclaiming to be American leftists, who claim to support the land back movement in support of our indigenous people, while at the same time claiming that the one historical act of “landbacking” that happened is by its nature an act of genocide.

      If the land back movement was to gain any ground, to be ideologically consistent, you would have to claim that native Americans were genociding white Americans and that they weren’t even located in the region before white Americans, which is what you just claimed about Jews.

      So yes, if you are unable to confront this, please block.
