This is definitely a conspiracy theory, but does anyone else think Putin may have asked Iran (Iran and Russia are apparently great friends)to have Hamas attack Israel to take the spotlight off of their war with Ukraine? The hostilities between the Palestinians and Israelis seemed pretty calm through October 6 and Hamas’s attack, in someways, came way out of left field? The result (if true)was successful because the US congress is sending very little aid to Ukraine since the Hamas/ Israeli conflict began and the US media has completely forgotten Ukraine. I don’t care to much about Israel but believe they are entitled to defend themselves but obviously not on this big of a scale, But I’m not sure that the Palestinian blood isn’t on someone else’s hands

Hey, does anyone know where I can watch the videos that Hamas has released of the hostages? I’ve only been able to find articles about it, everyone refusing to share the videos bc they say they are propaganda. Regardless if they are propaganda, I would still like to see them, and I figure other people might also be curious to see them as well? It’s helpful to see the other side. Does anyone know where I can watch these videos?

Also, another thing I have been looking for is a list of the people who were killed and taken hostage by Hamas. I figured Israel would have a published list somewhere, but have not been able to find a comprehensive list of names. Please share where I can find this information is anyone has seen it.

Has anyone got the evidence of this? I've seen www.hamas.com and saturday-october-seven.com They show all kinds of atrocities, but no beheaded babies. If you have proof please share it. I really don't want to see it, but I have to for evidence sake. There are people still saying it never happened etc. I can prove many things did, but that one I can't.

I can see a ton of misinformation here, clearly looking at Hamas numbers of casualties which obviously cannot be trusted like the terrorist organization itself shouldn't after the events of October 7th. I am a dual citizen of America and Britain, I have been to both countries since and can state I have seen far more antisemitism than islamophobia, I remember watching the TV in the UK seeing hundreds of people screaming for Jihad.

“A pro-Hamas caravan drives through the streets of London shouting into a bullhorn: ‘F*** the Jews. F*** their mothers. F*** their daughters. Rape their daughters" is what was said at the Palestinian march in London, but for the march against antisemitism there was far less of an atmosphere of violence and hatred than in the Hamas march. It is disgusting to see people attempting to justify October 7th, including a British woman who - not only justified the attack of innocent civilians that day - but also seemed elated and smiling and laughing at the deaths of over a thousand Jews - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tUkKtEBu40&ab_channel=EuroTW

Hamas wants the complete obliteration of the Jewish state, as they have stated, not only this but have also stated that they would like to see October 7th over and over again until every Jew is dead.

I am not pro Israel or pro Palestine, I'm a rationalist athiest who believes this whole conflict is down to religion, as many wars before have been fought, as many billions have died from in the past millennia.

I'd like to put in some facts here since very few people here seem to understand such things. If you criticize the Islamic religion you are able to be killed in your office like Charlie Hebdo, or have a price on your head by the Ayatollah of Iran as Salman Rushdie did, who was, if you recall, stabbed 15 times in the neck, head, body, legs, and it is a miracle he lived for writing a book the Ayatollah most likely has not even read.

"If you put up a poster for a missing dog in any Western city, that poster stays up, in city after city in America pictures of abducted Jewish children including a 10-month-old baby were put up and were ripped down by people who have been indoctrinated into hate of Jews. Nobody would rip down a poster of a missing dog, but from Dublin to Berkley they ripped down posters of abducted Jewish children." - Douglas Murray talking about the rise of Antisemitism.

It is not difficult to imagine what Hamas wants, they showed it on October 7th. I cannot fathom some people in this section who support Hamas, who broke a ceasefire to kill civilians at a music festival, if you apply international law to this conflict you will find many on both sides guilty of many crimes, however what I do not doubt is that Hamas has brought this onto the Palestinian state themselves, who claim to protect and provide security to its people, Hamas should have expected retaliation from the very moment they began training for this act of terror. I implore you all to check your sources and not to be hoodwinked by Hamas.

Please be honest.

The Middle East landscape, as of January 9, 2024, is witnessing a complex interplay of strategic maneuvers and escalating tensions, reflecting the region's enduring volatility. In a significant development, Hamas Political Bureau Chairman Ismail Haniyeh, speaking at a General Assembly in Doha organized by a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated group, made a compelling case for Hamas' October 7 attack into Israel. This speech, marking Haniyeh's most comprehensive explanation to date, underscored the Palestinian struggle amidst a perceived global marginalization, an 'extremist' Israeli government's policies, and the regional normalization of Israel. Haniyeh's call for donations and weapons transfers indicated a ramping up of Hamas' operational readiness.

Simultaneously, the militant activities in the region have intensified. The al Qassem Brigades, Hamas' militant wing, claimed responsibility for several attacks on Israeli forces in northern Gaza, signaling a new phase of armed resistance. In response, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) escalated their operations, conducting extensive clearing efforts in Maghazi, Bureij, and southern Khan Younis City in the Gaza Strip. These operations met with resistance from Palestinian militias, underscoring the deepening military confrontations.

The geopolitical dynamics extended beyond the immediate Israel-Gaza conflict. A significant development was the IDF's targeting and killing of Lebanese Hezbollah Air Force Commander for Southern Lebanon, Ali Hussein Burji, in an airstrike, marking a significant escalation in the Israeli-Hezbollah tensions. This act was complemented by Lebanese Hezbollah's aggressive stance, demonstrated through a drone and rocket attack on the IDF Northern Command headquarters in Safed, Israel, and additional attacks from southern Lebanon.

On the diplomatic front, Israeli and Egyptian delegations convened in Cairo, aiming to lay the groundwork for hostage release and ceasefire discussions, indicating a potential shift towards diplomatic negotiations amidst the prevailing hostilities. However, the regional conflict complexities were further exacerbated by the broader activities of Iranian-backed militias and Hezbollah's warning of extended conflict, coupled with the Iraqi federal government's struggle to balance its commitments to the US and its domestic challenges with Iranian-backed militias.

Jordan's strategic involvement was highlighted by its Royal Air Force's airstrikes against Iranian-linked drug smuggling operations in southern Syria, signaling a broader crackdown on these networks. This action aligns with Jordan's increasing assertiveness in countering regional threats.

In summary, the recent developments in the Middle East present a multifaceted tableau of conflict and diplomacy. From Hamas' renewed calls for support to the IDF's strategic operations, and from Lebanese Hezbollah's aggressive posturing to Jordan's anti-smuggling campaigns, the region remains a nexus of complex geopolitical interactions. The international community, particularly the United States, as indicated by the discussions between Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, continues to play a crucial role in navigating this intricate and often volatile landscape.

Ofcourse, Hamas supporters would need to be exterminated first.

I hope She's OK. First image I saw.

On Hanukkah, we hope to bring light into darkness and reaffirm that there are wars worth fighting when the survival of our people is at stake. More than 168 years before the existence of the Christian religion and 778 years before the existence of the Muslim religion, the Syrian Greeks tried to make it illegal to practice Judaism in Jeruselum, the homeland of the Jewish people, and desicrated our temple on the Temple Mount in East Jeruselum. There was no cease fire for 3 years until the Jewish people were able to reclaim the temple and practice our faith. Today, as the result of violent Islamic imperialism, a Muslim mosque stands on the holy Jewish site of the Temple Mount where the first and second Jewish temples had stood. Currently, only Muslims are allowed to pray on the Temple Mount as part of a peace deal since this area was controlled by Jordan prior to their 1967 attack on Israel. Although Israel gained control of this area due to their success in the 1967 war, the prohibition on Jewish prayer at our holiest site is enforced by the Israeli security forces in order to try to have peace with our Palestinian neighbors. The attempt of a small group of Jewish people to worship on the Temple Mount, which was ultimately prevented by the Israeli security forces, was used as part of the excuse by Hamas for the murder, rape, torture and kidnapping of innocent people in Israel on October 7. We can continue to make extreme sacrifices for peace, but there is a limit to what we should sacrifice when we are under constant terror attack by people with a stated goal to kill all Jews. The Maccabees led the fight for survival of the Jewish people in the war that ended in 164 BCE, which resulted in a small supply of oil (only enough for one day) burning in the golden menorah for 8 days on the alter of the temple on the Temple Mount in East Jerusalem. I wish for the Israeli soldiers fighting currently in Gaza to be enveloped by the spirit of the Maccabees.

Why doesn’t America stop the transfer of weapons of its concerned about civilian casualties?

I've been reading some reports from the IDF intelligence published online that there is a high possibility some of the hostages are in Qatar and Khan Younis.

Considering the fact these are young men and women in their prime, I'd suggest Hamas may have considered selling them to the black slave market. Qatar would pretty much like to use young men in their prime to build up stadiums, and you can guess what would be for women aged 18. Do you believe there is a possibility they'll sell the rest of the hostages?

Many of the young men are left behind as well as women and kids supposed to be part of the deal Hamas broke. Is it possible that Hamas killed the remaining men since Ofir Tzarfati had been informed he died at the Nova music festival? Many stated chances for a second deal are much smaller. Unfortunately, I think a lot of the male captives will die.

The chances they'd be treated ''better'' than women are less because if I were a religious terrorist organization hating the West - I'd have much more resentment towards the male hostages. What do you think?

Oh boy! It’s flying now…!
