The number of Palestinians killed in the yearlong war in Gaza has passed 43,000, more than half of them women and children, the Palestinian Health Ministry said Monday.

The tally includes 96 dead who arrived at hospitals in Gaza over the past two days, the ministry said. Israeli troops have launched an ongoing operation in northern Gaza that included a raid on a hospital over the weekend. The military said it detained 100 suspected Hamas militants in a raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya on Friday.

    Okay for starters Hezbollah is Lebanon’s militant group that has nothing to do directly with Hamas & Palestine aside from being loose allies.

    More importantly though, Hamas was elected into power in Gaza, they are the local government.

    Putting “Hamas run” in front of anything would be like saying “Democratic run USA”, it’s been overwhelmingly used as a way to discredit Gaza in reporting.

    Most international sources have said that the ministry’s statistics are accurate, including both the UN and WHO. If anything they actually stated it is underreported because it doesn’t include estimates from starvation and inaccessible/lost bodies (ie no confirmation).

    And no their endgame isn’t world outrage, Israel actually did a pretty good job of preventing that for 70+ years. They’re just Palestinians who want their land back after being shoved into an open air prison for existing.

      Fuck me I meant hamas obviously sorry for the confusion. All the news are about hezbollah nowadays so I had a brain fart.

      With that said- Hamas was elected forever ago and has since abused and brainwashed their population, they don’t represent Palestine any more than Putin represents the Russian people, which is to say the least debatable. Of course it doesn’t help that Israel did absolutely nothing to be hated less.

      Hamas=Palestine is what Israel wants you to think. That’s two millions of terrorists over there, what’s the harm in bombing them? Since when are we nice to terrorists? — don’t let your disgust for Israel play you into their hand.

      As for their endgame - do you think Hamas did 7/10 in order to have land back? In what world was a massacre of civilians going to give them bargaining power? They baited Israel into behaving like monsters out in the open at the expense of their own population, and Israel bit hook line and sinker. That was Hamas’s objective and it worked.
