A typical mod only can respond to 20 reports at a time, and most mods only can do two or three rounds of that.

So if there are more than 40 or 60 reports the mods will be overwhelmed and posts will get through.

there's prob a bunch of objectives but trying to disrupt the slow normalization of relations between Israel and various Arab states seem likely to be one

Hamas's long term objective of establishing an independent Palestine depends a lot on widespread support from other Arab states, or at least their publics. But the cause has being losing luster and centrality in the body politics of the Arab world for a couple of decades now. The normalization of relations between Israel, Egypt, Saudi Arabia etc is a major cause of concern for Hamas because on the long run it probably spells the death of their cause.

So -something- has to be done now.

This is at least a charitable interpretation of their motives, it's also entirely possible this is driven by internal hamas politics and/or something dumb happening in the client-patron relationship with Iran.

liberals bury their heads in the sand in order to liberate themselves from the tyranny of responsibility, liberalism was supposed to solve all human problems without their active participation and anything demonstrating the opposite is to be ignored

if that were the case, they would only ignore implicating information, but they also actively seek out information that supports Capital precisely because they want to feel responsible. it's why people develop posting brain and think the posting war is a real front that matters, and why perceptual alignment is rigorously enforced.

IIRC the israeli ministry of defense shares a wall with a large shopping mall. tel aviv has tons of buildings like that, on purpose, so anyone trying to attack them is going to kill civilians

now, using civilians as a shield is definitely a war crime, but rules are for thee not for me etc

Its tricky for us in the West to understand this but Hamas clearly sees this as an existentialist issue where its now or ever as the writing has been on the wall with how insane Israel politics have been the last couple of years. Everything else has failed and they realize with all the poo poo happening in the world and the vibes are off, they needed to do something.

I hope that EU rethinks stopping all aid to Palestine, that was a rash decision.
Israel is going to do what it is going do but what benefit is there really for any western to side with them, expect for the USA?
From a purely cyncial perspective that disregards all morality Europe should be asking Israel for restraint.
War always generates refugees after all. And the spike in energy prices will also be detrimental for European nations.

provoking a reaction, sure, but not to garner sympathy. the only branch of Israels military worth a poo poo is the air force and it sure looks like they've provoked the actual conscript army into making an attack which will probably be very unsuccessful. the insane response might also cause israel to get into a real fight with whatever groups in lebanon have been exchanging artillery over the border with them

Fascist imperialists can't help but to antagonize everyone around them and now don't really have a way out of this besides the government collapsing. you can't win actual wars against a determined enemy with just an air force, as the US has proved very many times by now

I'm not saying how they could do that or why they would feel justified. I however don't think espousing the Code of Hammurabi as a reasonable opinion is cool or good. Personally I believe that before the raid they were given drugs because as much as you try to demonize someone I can see it being really hard to kill someone close quarters.

the Israeli plan of moving Palestinians to smaller and smaller reservations relies on settlers being willing to do the work of stealing land and squatting on it. this operation changes the risk calculus of doing that squatting.

Yeah. Like I know it’s typically for atrocities against Palestinians to get memory holed but they did a peaceful march to the border wall to draw international attention to their plight in Gaza and got massacred by the hundreds and thousands permanently injured by IDF snipers and the wests response was to tut-tut the Palestinians for provoking poor little Israel into killing them, if it was acknowledged at all.

Bad news for C-SPAM posters unfortunate enough to live in Britain, posting "From the river to the sea, palestine will be free" or posting a Palestinian flag will now get you arrested and thrown in jail:

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/oct/10/people-supporting-hamas-in-uk-will-be-held-to-account-says-rishi-sunak

quote:

Waving a Palestinian flag or singing a chant advocating freedom for Arabs in the region may be a criminal offence, Suella Braverman has told senior police officers.

In a letter to chief constables in England and Wales, the home secretary urged them to clamp down on any attempts to use flags, songs or swastikas to harass or intimidate members of the Jewish community.

Her words, which follow deadly attacks by Hamas on Israelis and a military response, will deeply concern freedom of speech advocates and members of the Muslim community.

In the letter, Braverman said police should not restrict themselves to potential offences related to the promotion of Hamas, a proscribed organisation.

“It is not just explicit pro-Hamas symbols and chants that are cause for concern. I would encourage police to consider whether chants such as: ‘From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’ should be understood as an expression of a violent desire to see Israel erased from the world, and whether its use in certain contexts may amount to a racially aggravated section 5 public order offence.

“I would encourage police to give similar consideration to the presence of symbols such as swastikas at anti-Israel demonstrations. Context is crucial. Behaviours that are legitimate in some circumstances, for example the waving of a Palestinian flag, may not be legitimate such as when intended to glorify acts of terrorism.

Worrying news for C-SPAM posters residing in Britain, Suella Cowardwoman did not provide clarity on other slogans such as "Death to Israel", "Death to :amerikkka:", or "Death to Britain", so they will have to take their chances.
