#Hamas

29 posts25 participants8 posts today

People are again rationalizing #hamas into some kind of humanitarian organization, using #Israel's bombing campaign as an excuse to promote lies and propaganda that solidify the pretense that Hamas are the good guys.

They are not.

Hamas kills #Palestinians.

Hamas oppresses #gaza

Hamas started this war.

Hamas continues to hold hostages that it could have released every day since October 7.

And, yes, Hamas DOES operate from hospitals, schools, and apartment buildings. There are no aboveground Hamas bases.

There are many pictures and videos of Hamas fighters shooting at the #IDF from hospitals and schools.

Regardless of how you feel about the way Israel is conducting the war, that doesn't make Hamas a patriotic organization that represents the interests of the Palestinian people.

Hamas exists for only 1 reason: To destroy Israel and #Jews everywhere, all over the world.

Hamas doesn't care about the suffering of the Palestinian people.

Hamas doesn't want peace or a ceasefire or co-existence.

There are 1 million Israeli citizens who are Palestinians. If you ask any of them if they want to be governed by Hamas they will look at you like you are insane.

And you know what? You ARE insane to be praising Hamas, repeating their lies and propaganda, and pretending that they represent the interests of the Palestinians of Gaza.

Hamas is a terrorist organization. They have done nothing right, nothing good, and nothing worth praising.

Hamas has committed horrific war crimes. Hamas has committed crimes against humanity - all against the Palestinian people.

Netanyahu's conduct is reprehensible but the fact he is a monster doesn't make Hamas any less monstrous.

If you say nothing about Hamas while condemning the bombing campaign then you are supporting #terrorism and #genocide

Silence is complicity.

#IDF says it shot 14 #Palestinian #medics from afar, *mistaking* them for militants.
WaPo investigation finds:

- Shooters were close enough to see the crews: 40m at the start; later, just 12m.

- Soldiers said they initially fired on a #Hamas vehicle; dispatcher records indicate it was an #ambulance.

#Australia: Proposed #AntiProtest Laws: Reviewing #Victoria's New Legislation

by lawyer Galbally Parker | Jan 14, 2025

"The proposed anti- protest laws include:

- Banning the flags and symbols of listed terrorist organisations in public, to give Victoria Police more powers and fill in any gaps in Commonwealth anti-Terror legislation. Listed terrorist organisations include #Hamas, Hezbollah and several other groups, including white nationalist and racist violent extremist (NRVE) right-wing groups.
- Banning the use of #FaceMasks at protests, which are being used to conceal identities and shield agitators from crowd-control measures like #capsicum spray. A mask ban in public demonstrations will focus on prohibiting the wearing of face coverings at protests and providing police with the power to require their removal. Exemptions would apply for legitimate health, religious or cultural reasons.
- Banning the use of glue, rope, chains, locks and other dangerous attachment devices that protestors use to cause maximum disruption and endanger others
- Introducing prohibited zones for protest (i.e., where places of worship are situated)

The proposed anti-protest laws, if legislated, will give police extensive enforcement powers."

Welche Untermenschen?

Mich regt diese Einseitigkeit auf. Ich höre Israel beendet Waffenruhe, aber ich lese: "Am 18. März, nachdem die Hamas die Freilassung weiterer Geiseln als Gegenleistung für die Verlängerung eines dreimonatigen Waffenstillstands abgelehnt hatte, nahm Israel die Kampfhandlungen wieder auf."

#Hamas und ihre Ideologie und Todeskult ist verantwortlich für so vieles. 🤮

Die einen scheren sich nicht um irgendwas, den anderen wird "Anstand" abverlangt.

#Trump Claims #Nazis Treated Jewish Prisoners With “Love” “Did the, #Hamas, show any signs of like, help? Or liking you? Did they wink? Did they give you a piece of bread extra? Did they give you a meal on the side? Like, you know, what happened in #Germany?” Trump said absurdly comparing hostages’ situation 3 #Holocaust murder of 6M #Jews. “People would try & help people that were in unbelievable distress,” he said suggesting that Nazis were known for their generosity. yahoo.com/news/trump-claims-na

US to screen prospective immigrant social media accounts for antisemitism

israelnationalnews.com/flashes

US Citizenship and Immigration Service announces that immigration benefits will be denied to people "social media content that indicates an alien endorsing, espousing, promoting, or supporting antisemitic terrorism, antisemitic terrorist organizations, or other antisemitic activity" is found on their accounts.

#BonneNouvelle 🍾🍾🍾

#WardaAnwar à nouveau condamnée pour provocation à la haine à 5 mois de #prison avec sursis, confiscation des scellés et indemnisation des parties civiles.

Qui est #WardaAnwar ?

Une #influenceuse qui avait ironisé sur la mort d'un bébé #israélien dans un four lors de l'attaque des membres du #Hamas du #7octobre.

Je la cite :

"L’histoire du bébé qui a été mis dans le four, je me pose la question s’ils ont mis du sel, du poivre... S’ils ont mis du thym ?"

@reverend @martinschemm ich fand es auch verachtenswert wie sie 1200 am Tag vergewaltigt, gefoltert und getötet haben. Erst Hilfe Personen ebenso getötet haben und Muslime und selbst Araber nicht verschont haben. #Hamas ist ein Todeskult. 60 sind immer noch in Menschenunwürdiger Geiselhaft und das rote Kreuz/Halbmond besucht sie nicht und versorgt sie nicht mit Medikamenten.
