Israel’s defense minister announced that the Hamas militant group has started a war against Israel and pledged that "Israel will win.”
Following a security cabinet meeting at the Israeli military headquarters in Tel Aviv, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant warned that Hamas “made a grave mistake” in launching barrages of rockets into southern and central Israel in its surprise morning attack.
In one of the most serious escalations in years between Israel and the militant group that rules Gaza, Hamas gunmen crossed the border fence at several places and infiltrated Israeli communities.
I think we can all agree that this is a bad thing and a lot of people will die, regardless of ideology or affiliation. Let’s all start there.
This isn’t just rocket attacks. There are technicals driving throughout streets shooting civilians, hostages and houses burnt down. Reports of hundreds of people ariving at hospitals. Over 500 reported injured and 20 dead so far.
Not military targets. Not government facilities. People’s homes and communities.
“started a war”
That’s rich.
They will win and then there will finally be peace in the region, right?
Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate Israel.

I keep hearing from the River to the Sea on this site… looks like Hamas is going to get their wish.
Netanyahu is going to use this attack as excuse to level the strip, wonder if Haifa will expand or if they’ll bother to rebuild Hebron?
The Saudis are abandoning the Palestinians and joining the Abraham accord. Hamas has condemned the people of that region to death. This is terrible.

Both sides are really shitty, unfortunately. Hamas isn’t Fatah - Hamas is a bunch of far-right theocratic loons who maintain an iron grip on the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip. Israel has, since the 1980s, become increasingly right-wing and ethnonationalist, putting Palestinians under a regime that treats them as second-class, at best, and treating them as nuisances to be removed for Israeli settlements.
the other is secular(somewhat), democratic country.
That practices ethnic cleansing (this one is kinda dubious) and apartheid.
