Palestinians blame Hamas for Gaza war after Israeli soldiers strip them down to underwear
2024-01-09
[NYPOST] Newly released video shows a group of Paleostinian men cuffed and stripped by Israeli forces in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
 while begging to be freed and blaming Hamas
...a regional Iranian catspaw,...
 for the destruction of their homes.

The footage, aired on Israel’s Channel 12, depicts more than a dozen men handcuffed and stripped down to their underwear surrounded by Israel Defense Forces who have taken northern Gaza, The Times of Israel reported Monday.

One of the men can be heard yelling that his people have lived "under tyranny" for 17 years, appearing to refer to the Hamas election in Gaza in 2006, as he reiterated that he and the other detainees were innocent and waiting for Israel to save them.

"When you arrived, we remained in our homes because we live in peace and love peace!" the man yelled. "If we were guilty of something, we would have left our homes and fled, but we live in our homes in peace!

"I swear to God, we waited for you to free us from tyranny!" he added.
Palestinians waiting for Israel to free them — a paradigm shift, to be sure.
He went on to talk about the war’s effect on Gaza’s civilians, stating that their families have gone hungry for too long, with some succumbing to the lack of food and others growing increasingly sick.

"Our wives have started eating scraps. Our children have died in front of our eyes due to hunger," he said. "There’s no water. I’m sick, and I cannot get any medical care.

"You know what the situation is like in Gaza. Everything has turned upside down on us," the man added.

When the Israeli soldiers filming the scene asked the Paleostinians whose fault it is that Gaza is in such a state, the men yelled back, "Because of Hamas! Because of Hamas!"

"May Allah take Dire Revenge on Hamas!" the men shouted.

It was not immediately clear if the men shown in the video were part of the more than 100 people arrested in northern Gaza last month who were featured in similar videos and photos of the IDF’s advancements in the area.

#11   when the same thing was done...

One trait of the Wokerati that is both amusing and annoying is their ability to sniff out any outrage, however slight, and at the same time be completely oblivious to any context whatsoever. I am generally opposed to punching people in the nose. But if someone were trying to stab me, I might make an exception. Everything is a situation.

There is no question that Gaza is a human tragedy, but those Israeli airstrikes didn't just fall out of the sky, if you get my drift. Gaza has been a dumpster fire for decades. With proper management and an ongoing influx of funds, it could have continued to be an annoyance to the Israelis on into the future. But Hamas upped the ante and made it existential.

On National People's Radio a couple weeks back, much to my astonishment, they ran an interview with a Gazan woman who was royally pissed at Yaya Sinwar (sp?). She was speaking Arabic, but even without the translator, you got the drift: the mother*bleep*er Yaya Sinwar who brought this down on our heads is off hiding somewhere while we pay the price with our children and homes. (I'm paraphrasing but that was the gist of it) Surprising content for NPR given their daily Tragedy in Gaza theme.

The PLO/Fatah when they couldn’t hold it after they lost the election in 2006/2007 or thereabouts.

#9  "it's not a war crime when Israel does it." There it is@again@
Must be a conspiracy theory. Probably involving space lasers forcing us to see this happening over and over.
Must

#8  Hamas was the brainchild of Gaza resident and paraplegic Sheikh Yassin, and it was backed by the international Muslim Brotherhood (Ikhwan). The Ikhwan was founded in Egypt, exiled, re-formed in Europe, and received funding through a variety of sources. The Ihkhwan funded Hamas, but after it achieved victory at the ballot box, Hamas turned to Qatar and Iran for funding. The latter became the more powerful presence in Gaza (where about half of all adult males are unemployed). Simply put, Gaza survived thanks in large part to UN largess (UNRWA) and American foreign aid. When this invasionis over it will be re-built by the same two -- if the Democrats are in power in Washington.

#5  At Abu Ghraib, there was little to no threat of hidden grenades or other weapons.

Here, there is.
