Bib on Hamas:

“Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas,” he told a meeting of his Likud party’s Knesset members in March 2019. “This is part of our strategy – to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank.”

Netanyahu has a track record of bad stuff. Over the decades, since the 80s, Hamas and some other groups have used terrorist methods that allowed the more extreme sides of Israel politics to gain power and the result is Gaza turned into a pressure cooker. But this week's events, no matter the dark and sordid history, cost 700 Israelis and 500 Palestinians their lives. And more evil will follow.

@knittingknots2 @josephramoney @Mary625 @ClaraListensprechen4 @skykiss All the bad actors of world politics are going to be busy for sure. But that might backfire on them. Because this time seems different from all the terrible events of the past. The atrocity committed when Hamas massacred the festival attendees is never going to be forgotten. It could be a game changer, like 911 was for the USA. Possibly a watershed moment.

@timo21 @josephramoney @Mary625 @ClaraListensprechen4 @skykiss I saw someone who did a calculation based on country size that an equivalent attack on the US would have taken out 20,000 people....It's really a big thing.

Yeah, I don't think I'll ever run for office again.

Waaaay too much kowtowing to church people. I think they're all idiots. It would not go well.

“Anecdotal evidence that X is failing this stress test is plentiful,” @uwcip research scientist @mikecaulfield told @JosephMenn in a Washington Post report. “Go on the platform, do a search on Israel or Gaza — you don’t have to scroll very far to find dubious or debunked information.”

Ghazi Hamad, spox for #Hamas, told the BBC that the militant group received direct support from its ally #Iran to carry out the multifaceted #attacks on #Israel….

Hamad said the violence came in response to attacks by Jewish settlers in the #WestBank. “Every day they build #settlements, seize our lands, kill our people & enter our cities, & thru mediators, Egyptians, Qataris or the UN, we told them to stop, but they did not listen to anyone.”
