People who have turned to X for breaking news about the Israel-Hamas conflict are being hit with old videos, fake photos, and video game footage at a level researchers have never seen.

    That is just completely false. Since seizing power, Hamas has not allowed further elections.

    I welcome your citation proving otherwise, but ultimately it’s irrelevant because every member of Hamas will ideally be dead soon.

      I am pointing out that people in Gaza are not Israeli citizens, and the conditions in Gaza are imposed by Israel

              Are you saying you agree with the Israeli government that Palestinians are a demographic threat?

              Do you realize this is an explicitly bigoted sentiment? “Demographic threat” does not mean “some Palestinians are extremists.” It means “Palestinians must not be allowed to become too large a portion of Israel’s demographics.” The Israeli government criticizes Palestinians and Arabs in general for having too many children. This is rhetoric of religious and racial dilution. There are ~9 million Israelis, mainly Jewish, and ~5 million Palestinians, and Israelis do not want to dilute their society with them.

              Israel has also non-consensually sterilized thousands of Ethiopian immigrant women, not informing them of the nature of the procedure.

              When people call Israel an apartheid state there’s a reason for it

                Yeah those people are dumb, since Israeli Arabs have full citizenship. Same as any Israeli who opposes the integration - dumb people exist. They exist in the US too, as is easily observable by anyone who wants to limit immigration here.

                Palestinians as a separate country are absolutely a threat and once made Israeli, we can look forward to prolonged peace in a generation or two.

                End the ease of radicalization and the problem resolves.

                  Lies upon lies. Even Israelis know that Netanyahu funded and provoked Islamist Hamas over the left secular PLO. It’s an open secret.

                    This ain’t a secret at all and has nothing to do with the above. It was just a shitty idea since the PLO was considered the bigger threat - which was clearly wrong.
