Israel have bombs that weight tons and can easily enter bunker (refer to Hassan Nasrallah assassination). Putting tunnels under civilians is an evil strategy. Actually I'm tired of making sense out of it.
I am, and it's my dream that it will happen.
Yahya Sinwar wasn’t some evil mastermind
they have been fighting an existential war against a genocidal
beloved by the Palestinian people
Please provide and official approved source for that.
Palestinians sided with Hamas and Sinwar.
"Hamas has governed the Gaza Strip in Palestine since its takeover of the region from rival party Fatah in June 2007."
The Palestinians had no option but to choose between an antisemitistic group at the time called Hamas (by https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1988_Hamas_charter) or a group who officially claims that no other human can be Palestinian, besides Arabs, which is called Fatah (by https://irp.fas.org/dni/osc/fatah-charter.pdf)
It means, that at the time of the election (2006) almost half of the Palestinians supported Hamas, which officially had antisemistic principals.
Third, Sinwar absolutely has positive views among Palestinians. You linked a highly biased news, so unfortunately I can't refer to that. As a reminder, Sinwar was the official leader of Hamas. Every school that teached terrorism, every old man, women, children and babys, every tunnel that was digged under civilians, everything that happens, and the consequences of this war, by Hamas, are his responsibility.
I disagree that Israel is commiting genocide. There are millions peaceful Palestinians who live peacefully. This is not a genocide.
There is a difference between explaining and lying mate.
What about the 900,000 Jewish exodus from the Muslim world? Is someone letting them work, or even enter, their own "ancestral land"? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_exodus_from_the_Muslim_world
It's possible. See the numerous states that went through hard times and strive eventually. When you believe it, it's possible.
Indeed, one of them is the Islamic Jihad. I hope the Palestinians will have a positive government.
There is no genocide, there is no official source for that. War is bad, but this is not a genocide.
Palestinians have never been ethnically cleansed. There are also peaceful Palestinians that don't want, and do want a brighter future.
Fun fact, practically “Palestinian” consists of a diverse population of Arabs (i.e. Bedouin and Muslims), Jews, and Christians and more. So which do you refer to as “Palestinians”?
Sinwar was not a charismatic guy who brainwashed everyone into attacking Israel.
He WAS a charismatic killer who brainwashed into attacking Israel.
According tohttps://www.un.org/unispal/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/AHRC47NGO145_150621.pdf "United Nations Watch is concerned that the Palestinian education system continues to promote antisemitism and incite terrorism, including in schools of the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA)."
Netanyahu is indeed a problematic figure who take these situations into his advantage, maybe another would be better to make peace.
This is a sad truth, and it can only be solved with education. Both states are traumatized. It's time to come together.
Fun fact, practically "indigenous Palestinian" consists of a diverse population of Arabs (i.e. Bedouin and Muslims), Jews, and Christians, Bedouin and more. So which do you refer to as "indigenous Palestinian"?
"Israeli occupier" is a pure propaganda. Israel received an official support for by the UN for setting up a state. Whoever was against it it's his own problem. Israel has the right to be an independent heterogeneous multicultural and multi-religion state.
Israel has been supporting Palestinians such ash letting them work within Israel. But that didn't help unfortunately. The best solution is education. The hard truth is what they are being educated with: to terror and destruction or to peace and prosperity.
Comments like these are just supporting these kinds of heinous figures like him, and it's just sad, and evil.
Yahya Sinwar wasn’t some evil mastermind manipulating and controlling the Palestinian people This is a pure lie.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahya_Sinwar: "Sinwar planned the abduction and killing of two Israeli soldiers and the murder of four Palestinians whom he suspected of cooperating with Israel." "Sinwar was believed to have overseen the torture and execution." And this is just part of the list.
they have been fighting an existential war against a genocidal There no genocide. Lie #2. This is not Israel's goal in this war. Or ever.
beloved by the Palestinian people. Lie #3.
Stop posting lies.
Civilians are not allowed in war zone, so they couldn't be civilians. But because Hamas militants dequise as civilians, without considering the consequences on the surrounding civilians, indeed it's challenging to detect.
International reaction to death of Hamas leader Sinwar

Israel shares video of cramped, bloody tunnel, below a children's room, where hostages were held and killed
It has an exit shaft used by the militants, below a children's room in a house.
The hostages had likely been held in the dank tunnel, where it is hard to breathe and to stand up straight, for some time, possibly weeks, Hagari said.
A version of the video with English narration shows Kalashnikov rifle magazines, bags containing plastic bottles filled with urine and a bucket in a hole that served as a toilet. Women's clothing is strewn on the ground. The Hebrew version, broadcast live on Israeli television channels, also shows a chess set.

Israel's military has released footage it says shows gunmen at an Unrwa facility in southern Gaza.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released drone footage that it said showed armed "terrorists roaming and shooting" next to marked UN vehicles at the facility in eastern Rafah on Saturday.
She stressed that UN staff had evacuated the compound prior to Saturday, leaving behind some vehicles and food aid. She said under no circumstances should anyone have or use weapons in a UN facility.
A review commissioned by the UN said Israel had not provided evidence to back up the claim, but it found that Unrwa should improve its neutrality, staff vetting and transparency.

Amit Soussana is the first former hostage to publicly say she was sexually abused in captivity. A U.N. report has said it found “clear and convincing information” that some hostages suffered “conflict-related sexual violence.”

“He sat me on the edge of the bath. And I closed my legs. And I resisted. And he kept punching me and put his gun in my face,” Ms. Soussana said. “Then he dragged me to the bedroom.”
This month, a United Nations report said that there was “clear and convincing information” that some hostages had suffered sexual violence and there were “reasonable grounds” to believe sexual violence occurred during the raid, while acknowledging the “challenges and limitations” of examining the issue.
She said Muhammad slept outside the bedroom, in the adjacent living room, but frequently entered the bedroom in his underwear, asking about her sex life and offering to massage her body.
Muhammad forced her to commit a sexual act on him, Ms. Soussana said. After the assault, Muhammad left the room to wash, leaving Ms. Soussana sitting naked in the dark, she said. When he returned, she recalled him showing remorse, saying, “I’m bad, I’m bad, please don’t tell Israel.”

The Israeli Defense Forces on Sunday accused a prominent journalist– who in recent months has reported regularly for Al Jazeera from Gaza – of moonlighting as a senior Hamas commander.
The Israeli Defense Forces have published photos they say were discovered on a laptop in Gaza that show Al Jazeera journalist Mohamed Washah engaged in Hamas terrorist activities.
Neither Al Jazeera nor the Qatari government have responded to the Sun’s request for comment.

'Just horrific': CNN producer describes being in room where hostages were held
Inside this maze of tunnels under Khan Younis, there is a narrow room with an arched ceiling, divided in half by a barred metal gate. The musty chamber, which looks like a makeshift cell, is where the Israeli military says Hamas held at least 12 of the hostages kidnapped and brought to Gaza on October 7.
“They spent years and years building it, this is not a two-year project, this is years of planning. So, if anyone asks how long was October 7 being planned, I say for many years,” he said
Goldfuss said a building once stood where CNN accessed the tunnel through a huge crater and other shafts spread like a spiderweb through the neighborhood. The devastation is immense – nothing was left of the original structure; its remnants having been bulldozed away to expose the tunnel entrance.

Intelligence Reveals Details of U.N. Agency Staff’s Links to Oct. 7 Attack
The Oct. 7 intelligence reports seen by the Journal identified an Unrwa Arabic teacher who the reports said was also a Hamas militant commander and took part in a terrorist attack on Kibbutz Be’eri, where 97 people were killed and about 26 people were kidnapped and taken as hostages to Gaza.
Another Unrwa employee, described in the dossier as an Unrwa social worker, played a role in absconding with the body of a dead Israeli soldier, which was taken to Gaza, the reports said. He also coordinated trucks and munitions distributions for Hamas before being killed.
A person familiar with the dossier said that after U.S. officials were briefed on the intelligence material, they alerted Unrwa, which put out a statement announcing the allegation that some of its employees were linked to the attacks and saying it had fired the employees involved. It provided no details, and didn’t say how many employees were involved.
A math teacher belonging to Hamas was close enough to a female hostage in Gaza that he took a picture of her. Another teacher was carrying an antitank missile the night before the invasion.
A different elementary school teacher did cross into Israel and went to Reim, a district where a kibbutz, an army base and a music festival were attacked.

Evidence Shows Widespread Support for October 7th Terrorists Among UNRWA Teachers in Gaza
This report details how UNRWA teachers in a 3,000-member UNRWA staff Telegram group cheered and celebrated Hamas’s October 7th massacre while at the same time asking when their UNRWA salaries will be paid.
The UNRWA staff in the group shared photos and video footage of those events and prayed for the terrorists’ success and for Israel’s destruction, in clear violation of UN rules.
This is the latest in a series of reports on UNRWA staff antisemitism and incitement to jihadi terrorism which our research proves is systemic and widespread.
Since 2015, UN Watch has exposed over 150 UNRWA staff Facebook pages that contain antisemitism and incitement to jihadi terrorism in blatant violation of UN neutrality.
The UNRWA Telegram group featured in this report completely eviscerates UNRWA’s denials and exposes the extent of UNRWA’s failure to do the bare minimum to address its staff’s neutrality violations.
