Utopia Talk / Politics / Israel/Gaza: Sinwar dead?

Thu Oct 17 08:13:58
CNN - Israel’s military is investigating whether Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was killed in a strike during operations in the Gaza strip.

“During IDF operations in the Gaza Strip, three terrorists were eliminated. The IDF and ISA are checking the possibility that one of the terrorists was Yahya Sinwar. At this stage, the identity of the terrorists cannot be confirmed,” the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement.

Sinwar is the most significant Hamas figure still at large, and Israel considers him the “mastermind” of the deadly October 7 attacks that triggered Israel’s ground invasion of Gaza.

He has not been seen in public since the Hamas attacks and is thought to have been hiding in the vast network of tunnels worming their way under Gaza.

Holy fuck the militant Islamic corruption of the UN regarding that part of the world runs deep.

I wonder when Hamas can be officially considered destroyed? I wouldn't have thought that was really possible before the events of this last year involving Israel breaking all commonly acceptable levels of violence against an enemy force hiding with civilians.

Seems like there is a real chance the only version of it possible now is a reboot, because the current version that started a war against Israel is gone.

It never did. The UN was always a vehicle for the strong to sanitize the actions they took to keep the weak in line. It gave an air of legitimacy to the strong imposing their will on the weak.

There's a reason there's a security council, and there's a reason that you aren't one of the permanent members.

In 2022, where do you think there were more combat related deaths? In Ukraine or in the Tigray region of Ethiopia?

Point is. The UN is very successful. It is however not absolutely successful.

But sure, if Israel and its main sponsor what to take on the full cost and risk of providing for civilians in Gaza (to name one example) instead of using UN organizations for that, then be my guest.

Simple answer: They don't. But obviously infiltrating the one organisations that can freely move across the border is a priority.

And that risk is one reason why UNWRA submits all employees details to Israel to vet. Something Israel forgets to mention. It's almost like the reason they want to shut UNWRA down is because they want to exclusively control aid flows into Gaza to help ensure conditions are not amenable to habitation and drive depopulation in the way that's both entirely consistent with numerous other policies, their targeting strategy during this conflict, and the various statements the ruling party members have said during the campaign, ABC that the current cabinet have said previously while out of office.

There fixed that for you.

AND even if israel did expel or exterminate gaza, they would be justified in doing so at this point.

The fact that israel is not doing so, goes to show how nice they are.

"weapon flows"

Nope, they *specifically* limit the amount of humanitarian aid including food and water.

Your own govt has repeatedly taken them to task about this.

You have to be pretty stupid at this point not to realise this.

The guys in charge have long spoken about how to depopulate gaza so as to colonize it, by making it unlivable by reducing access to food, water, shelter and destroying infrastructure.

And here they are, now in power, doing exactly that, blowing up water treatment plants *after* they've cleared them. Blowing up and bulldozing schools, hospitals, residential areas etc *after* they've cleared them, blocking humanitarian aid being shipped in by the US, killing humanitarian aid workers (which they've even belatedly been forced to discipline military commanders under US pressure because they got caught with no way to justify it as a reasonable mistake) and dropping bombs on areas they themselves designated as safe.

And as they do so, their own party, which they run, is having a conference on how to settle gaza.

It doesn't take a genius to see what is going on here.

This isn't about destroying Hamas, it's about a genocide: a crime committed with the intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, in whole or in part.

"This isn't about destroying Hamas, it's about a genocide: a crime committed with the intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, in whole or in part."

The absolute hypocrisy of an Arabist to make this statement about Israel...the last country in the Middle East to still have a sizable Jewish population. Why is that again exactly?

http://en....h_exodus_from_the_Muslim_world

Israel has an absolute right to defend itself against fundamentalist terrorists who refuse to stop their attacks on Jews until they have succeeded in destroying the Jewish state. In the face of such an absolutist enemy, absolute measures to protect the lives and property of Jews are justified. It's as simple as that.

Next time don't side with literal evil Seb.

Right to defend yourself doesn't extend to ethnic cleansing.

Just as right to armed resistance doesn't extend to raping teenagers.

42,000 Gazans have been killed by their Hamas rulers hiding behind them. Most of those deaths moreover occurred in the initial stages of Israel's campaign of self-defense.

Gaza's total population is north of 2.1 million.

If this is ethnic cleansing, this is the sorriest attempt of it I've ever soon. Cool it with the hyperbole Sebapoo.

Backtracking to the Hotel David bombing and other associated terror acts by the IDF and its predecessors including systematic ethnic cleansing in those early years, would it not be truer to say that the Palestinians are defending themselves against the perpetrators of crimes against humanity in all their variations?

I agree that this is entirely sustainable for Israel for as long as the US is willing to pay for it. As the sum of government net deficits is now about equal to the sum of US home mortages. It literally is a second mortgage for you, so I get why you are trying to enjoy it Ruggy.

After a while it does. If the gazans never learn to behave, and are always violent, after repeated efforts, israel can morally get rid of them.

"Your own govt has repeatedly taken them to task about this."

Lol if you are going to appeal to authority in place of actual evidence, can you at least choose a competent authority?

Rugian:

That's the number directly killed. Deaths by starvation and disease is much higher.

And these will continue because Israel is blocking most humanitarian efforts, continuing to force civilian population (Almost all of which are displaced) to keep moving while bombing them.

Israel still has no plans regarding what to do about this, but it is developing plans to settle Gaza, while also claiming it needs to displace the Arab population from huge chunks of it for security.

Doesn't it strike you as odd to claim you need a depopulated buffer zone to protect Israel while also planning to move your citizens into this buffer zone next to the supposed threat?

Don't you think it's odd to be arguing it's impossible to plan humanitarian relief, while planning residential settlements?

I think it'd be major international news if 1/4th of the entire Gazan population was dead. With the amount of pro-Hamas propagandists out there, that shit would be pushed nonstop if it was at all credible.

Nope, the Deir Yassin Massacre was against a village that had agreed a non aggression pact with Jewish groups before intervention by the other Arab states.

Haganah and Irgun attacks were occurring in '46 against Palestinian Arabs as well as the British in '46 - dynamiting houses of Palestinian figures.

Even the first attacks on Jews after the UN resolution were stated as retaliation after killings by the Stern gang.

If you want to look at who started terrorist attacks, it was definitely the Jewish groups - and they were going for ethnic cleansing from very early in the war, including shit like poisoning village wells.
