And Netenyahu gets exactly what he wants. Someone recalcitrant on the other side he can blame stalled ceasefire deals on. I for one won't let the media manufacture Israel as the good guy who can't get the other side to come to the table. Israel is the guy that bombs the table.

-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The table doesn't need a "good guy" to function.
It can have a bad guy, and a genocidal monster "bad guy"
If one of the people who's supposed to be at the table is killing the other person who needs to come to it then there is no table. There's simply that one man and targets.
Sure.
Let's be clear here, there's zero question what's happening is genocide, and netanyahu is to blame.
But no one at this table is "good" or anywhere near it.
Killing or attempting to harm civilians is not ok (As in the oct 7 raid, and other Hamas activities that target civilians) even if your opponent is doing it A WHILE LOT MORE AND A WHOLE LOT WORSE.
That went really well, killing the moderate guy to make space for the extremist.
When you put it like that, it sounds likely that it's EXACTLY what they wanted. Just like when they funded Hamas to drive the much more moderate PLO/Fatah out of Gaza..
It went well for Netanyahu, who wants to keep waging war until Palestine is extinct.
I like how an orgy of indiscriminate mass murder of men, women, children and dogs requires a "mastermind".
I mean it was pretty wild that they used gliders to fly over the border while a coordinated barrage of rockets kept the iron dome busy. That kind of thing does require planning
"Felon and presidential nominee" was taken
It's pretty much on brand for Hamas, so +1 point for consistency.
Unfortunately this will probably fuel the Israeli far-right pro-genocidal Judeofascist propaganda.
"Look at what Hamas did! If we don't kill ALL THE PALESTINIANS THEY'LL KILL ALL THE JEWS!"
