And people should have known Iran was working on ways to help create a distraction for Russia. Hamas had been planning and building up for this attack for a while. They even intentionally chose October 7th which is Putin's birthday. But I get downvoted all the time as some crazy person for pointing out how easily it was to predict Iran's proxies were going to act up to help split US attention away from Ukraine.
You say that like Netanyahu, who has been funding and propping up Hamas for years and who was facing political problems of his own, didn't benefit from the attack as well.
The ties between Russia and Hamas are well documented: (from wikipedia cuz I'm lazy)
During the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, Russia condemned both the initial Hamas attack and Israel's response. Russia maintained relations with both parties and presented itself as a potential mediator.
After the 7 October Hamas attack on Israel, which initiated the war, Russia condemned the attack as "terrorism". Putin sent condolences to the families of the killed Israelis and said Israel had a right to defend itself, describing the Hamas attack as "unprecedented in its cruelty". He also condemned the subsequent Israeli bombardments of Gaza and called for a two-state solution to resolve the conflict. Russian UN diplomats later condemned both the Hamas attack on Israel and Israeli shelling of civilian neighborhoods in Gaza. However, Russia voted against a resolution condemning Hamas at the United Nations General Assembly.
Some commentators said that Russia has grown closer to Hamas and more hostile to Israel. According to The New York Times, Russian state media and leading social networking platforms spread support for Hamas and denigrated Israel and its main ally, the U.S. Putin has said that the war shows "a clear example of the failure of U.S. policy in the Middle East". On 14 October, Hamas thanked Putin for his "position regarding the ongoing Zionist aggression against our people." On 26 October, Moscow hosted a Hamas political delegation, led by Mousa Abu Marzook, which Israel condemned as "a reprehensible step that gives support to terrorism and legitimacy to the horrific acts of Hamas terrorists." Amid the war's hostage crisis, Hamas released kidnapped Russian-Israeli dual nationals. Hamas described these actions as a gesture of appreciation for Russia's support for the Palestinian cause.
In December 2023, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that Israel's stated goals in its invasion of Gaza were similar to Russia's stated goals in its invasion of Ukraine.
Please keep in mind when using wiki links on anything (even loosely) related to Israel, that it has been edited by Zionists. This part of wiki doesn't work like the rest. See a 2 min video below from 13 years ago.
If you consider that around 3,000 people were killed on 9/11 and around 5 million were killed by America's responding "war on terror," this really was Isreal's 9/11. Hell, the US put boots in damn near every country in the region except the country that funded, trained (with our help), and planned the attack.
Throughout history, America has chosen to ignore warnings of impending attacks. Australia notified the US about the Japanese fleet movement and, if I remember, even predicted the target was Hawaii. They did nothing to stop that attack in order up get the US into the war to help Europe when isolationism in the population was making the idea of getting into the war unpalatable.
That take on Pearl Harbor is not historically accurate though. US Naval command had Japanese radio transmissions as well. It was more hubris and incompetence than some secret desire for an excuse to join the war. The US was already preparing for war with Japan. And Japan was crazy enough to skip straight to attacking US Naval command in Hawaii head-on as an opening move. Whereas US command assumed they'd take smaller targets first and try to stretch the fleet across defending many locations.
Japan ironically was both more and less successful than intended because of US mistakes. US carrier groups were sent west out near Wake Island and the Marshall Islands to cut off the attack that was thought to be coming. But Japan sailed around Midway approaching Hawaii from the North. They even had their planes loop around to fly in from the East to cause extra confusion until it was too late. What they found was less resistance than expected because the carriers weren't there. It didn't end up being the kinda suicidal knock out blow Yamamoto was going for.
Congress demanded multiple investigations over the years after. They all bore out a similar conclusion that US command and intelligence fucked up. They went looking for the fight in the wrong place. Assuming the attack on Hawaii intelligence had to be a ruse.
All good. It's a pervasive myth that on the surface seems plausible. There are other examples of what you mentioned that probably were a false flag or manufactured consent. Extending a conspiracy like that to Pearl Harbor takes a lot of credit away from Yamamoto's strategic genius.
Al-Bursh was also remembered for his efforts during the Great March of Return in 2018-19, when he performed over 28 surgeries in one day on Palestinians injured by Israeli fire.
The Israeli official made further comments blaming Hamas for the impasses, echoing the language of Israeli and US officials that “the ball is Hamas’s court” and that stopping the war is in their hands.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stating clearly that Israel does not support a permanent ceasefire.
Israel blaming Hamas for not having a ceasefire or any deal and then this written in the article.
Israel’s demand appears to be for Hamas to release all the hostages right now in exchange for a temporary ceasefire
I mean any sane person would understand Hamas won’t accept this. This means they lose all negotiation ‘material’ (could not find a better word, apologies). The deal should be something along lines of; release of all hostages and a permanent ceasefire.
Hamas has said it will only support a deal that includes a permanent ceasefire
Exactly this. They are willing to accept a deal, it is Israel who does not want to accept anything.
Israel's entire position when negotiating is essentially "We won't agree to anything until the other party we're negotiating with is destroyed forever." and then they turn around and blame Hamas for the impasse.
They can't accept any deal because they set an impossible goal for themselves that can't be reached without killing or driving out every single Palestinian.
Correction. Netanyahu can’t accept any deal because he will immediately lose power and likely go to jail for corruption and fraud, when he steps down or is voted out of office his ongoing criminal trials will resume.
Remember at the beginning of the war when the propaganda rhetoric talking point for the genocide was….. but Hamas wants to destroy Israel state.
Hamas is not demanding the destruction of the Israel state in these negotiations, no. They don't have the power to do that whether it's what they want or not.
You don't have to be on the side of Hamas to understand that they're not the ones holding up a resolution to the genocide in Gaza. They've been at the table for all these negotiations and the only demand they have for release of the hostages is withdrawl from Gaza and a permanent cease fire. Israel's refusal to accept that means they have no intention of stopping the genocide or stopping their pursuit of the total destruction of Hamas after a temporary ceasefire.
Yes, it's true that Netanyahu is avoiding a resolution to the genocide in order to stay in power, he's doing that by making the only terms he will accept in the negotiation to include further annhiliation of the other negotiating party. Which is obviously impossible to accept, thats not a negotiation, Hamas are not going to agree to just off themselves or w/e.
They've learned from the previous doctor that when a prominent Palestinian "dies during interrogation", there are literally zero consequences. So fuck it, let's get this guy back into custody and let the problem take care of itself...
Anyways, I'm gonna block you. I'm getting really weird shill-vibes from this conversation. I think you're just going to keep replying until I stop, so you may have the last word.
You can google the organisations they are quoting and fact check them. Also it's all over the internet that israel killed this man and israel has admitted to it.
