    When they protested the high costs of living? Not the random killing of Jews, the rocket fire into Israel, the terroristic acts of Hamas on innocents..
    When hundreds protested (out of the millions living there)?
    When Hamas showed its true colors and still no peep from those around the world calling for Palestinians to be freed of Hamas corruption..

    Where are the protests? Well sure, but those protests calling for the overthrow of Hamas don't count!

    Strange that you missed them then. Did you participate in the attempts to overthrow Hamas or do you get a pass because you aren't ethnically Palestinian?

    At this point you are just being obtuse and purposefully argumentative. Discussing with you is nonproductive. Consider that you won their argument and let’s just end it. Palestinians the world over have clearly been protesting Hamas for decades. They have been protesting the terroristic tactics, the brutal murder of children, the use of civilians as humans shields.. yes.. even here in the US our own Squad members have been on record claiming Hamas needs to be over thrown. The one example of a few thousand in Gaza upset over high taxes and living expense CLEARLY shows they disagree with Hamas for how they kill Jews indiscriminately. Good job
    You won the debate. Give your team a point

    You ask for protests against Hamas. I provide them. Then you get salty and have to minimize them as much as possible. Same as when it is pointed out that a government isn't really democratically elected if they haven't had an election in almost 2 decades. I would say it is quite odd that you are pursuing Hamas' legitimacy as a government so voraciously, but we both know that it is motivated by wanting to feel better about killing civilians, as the more legitimate you can make their government, the less innocent the civilians.

    Now I need to go to some Anti-IRA protests, lest I be confused as a supporter of terrorism due to my ethnicity.

    Although Trump has praised Putin on a number of occasions and has even praised Hezbollah backing Hamas is probably a step too far even for the Donald.

    Seems like systemic violence against Jews in Dagestan (Russian republic on Caspian Sea). Limited information so far. Some evidence related to events in Gaza.

    If there is any question at to why Israel wants to eradicate Hamas in the Gaza strip this image says it all.

    Horrific. This is gonna spiral some places, no doubt. And the moment I saw Putin smugly admonishing Israel I knew the chaos agent of all chaos agents would find a way to add to the destabilization however he could....

    In all this, I keep coming back to Netanyahu and the need for a deep accounting on his part.

    This is a video from 2001, many years before Hamas won seats in Parliament and after that seized total control of Gaza. I'm posting it because I find that few people have seen it or know of its existence. It's... troubling to say the least. Netanyahu is deeply troubling.

    And again, this post is NOT PRO HAMAS. HAMAS is a barbaric, horrendous organization fueled by hate that is totally responsible for the events of October 7th. Period.

    Putin needs Iran and North Korea to keep the flow or arms coming so he can continue to allow Russians to be slaughtered in Ukraine. Very little Russia can do for its Hams friends. Nevertheless, as long as we are Looking for truth, what does this say about Putin’s claim he invaded Ukraine in order to go after Nazis?

    Dagestan tends to be antiPutin, thought he may still have stoked ancient hatreds. I certainty see Russia as being a significant beneficiary of 10/7 projecting out 2-3 years in potential scenarios, and he certainly realizes that and is acting accordingly.

    Very illuminating video. I thought I was read up but I wasn’t aware of the subjective military installation loophole argument. They have built many more settlements in the last 20 years in Areas C and B
