Forces had no direct confrontation with Hamas terrorists who killed hostages; ‘The IDF and security forces are doing everything possible to bring all hostages home as quickly as possible. This news shakes us all,’ says army spokesperson Hagari

Israeli forces discovered the bodies of six hostages in a 65-foot-deep tunnel in Rafah, approximately a kilometer from where hostage Farhan Alkadi was recently freed. The IDF had no precise intelligence on the hostages’ location in recent months but knew there were captives in the sector, leading to a gradual and cautious operation in Rafah since the ground offensive began.

    Modern Ashkenazi Jews are not ancient Israelis.

    They looked a lot more like the Palestinians. IMO religion as a race is stupid anyways

    What I’m saying is that the Palestinians were actively displaced, in recent history. I’m not arguing who has right to land, just that up and deciding a handful of decades ago that people need to move is not the right call.

      Maybe not the right call but it was the call and now that’s what we’ve got. Saying it’s not the right call is a useless platitude, same as saying Palestinians were there first. Israel is there. Israel a flawed democracy, which is infinitely better than the far right, theocratic dictatorships, including Gaza, which surround it, and for that reason alone is worth the western defense.
