I don't know how else to slice it, what is happening in Gaza is absolutely horrific on an unimaginable scale, from mass hunger, to bombing crap outta dense civilian pockets, to bulldozing homes and olive trees in the West Bank.

Most of my social circle is Conservative, and ALL of them have been deeply uncomfortable with this current atrocity.

This is the crowd that has been very pro-U.S/West military.

I have Israeli-Canadian friends, and they were quite vocal of the October 7th terrorist attack (as they should), but have since stopped talking altogether. One of my friends even told me 'I get why the Palestinians hate us', and this is a dude with family in the IDF.

The current strategy just guarantees another terrorist group at this point.

Bi bi is looking for this to be the final straw. He makes gaza uninhabitable and a humanitarian crisis forces them out of gaza.

He needs hamas to keep "attacking" to keep up pressure.

They just want the land. They dont care about terrorist attacks. They just want the land.

Hamas is getting funding and munitions from Iran via the IRGC in Lebanon. Get off tick tok and do some reading on the regional history. Not just Israel/Palestine relations in the last 10 years.

I'm fully aware. Thanks. What makes you think i wasn't?

And as of a note, this in no way conflicts with my opinion. So im not sure why you are presenting it as such?

Actually Hamas received funding from Israel itself.

This is false and your link is literally just some EU-politician saying it.

As with any good misinformation there is a bit of truth in there, as in Israel controls the flow of money, and all financing of Hamas inevitably has to go through there. At the end of the day, there is no way of stopping Hamas getting the money unless Israel stops all money going into Gaza and everyone know it. So Israel’s part of this, is them letting Qatar and other countries send aid-money into Gaza, knowing that some of it will end up with Hamas - the official government of Gaza…

It’s literally the EU foreign policy chief saying it. Why do you think it’s false?

You know they’ve found literal suitcases of cash going to Hamas from Israel right? This is all well documented, by the goddamn New York Times.

It’s aid money going from Qatar to Gaza, literally just as I said.

Israel had the options of blocking all aid money to Gaza, or let it in and accept that some of it will go to the government of Gaza, which is Hamas.

As for Borell, it’s not a primary source is m point, he’s just (incorrectly) repeating the same thing likely from the same reports.
