if it was just a question of Hamas acting like a baseline invading military that shoots civilians it’d be one thing, but it ain’t like that because “world’s biggest active shooter situation” doesn’t capture the imagination in the same way that sadistic interpersonal atrocity does. The perception of oct 7th as a charnel house is the problem. the president can’t even stop believing in imaginary decapitated babies.

Cornpone posting:

Brown and his family didn’t kill anyone who didn’t deserve it until Shepherd Hayward at Harper’s Ferry, and that guy was just unlucky.

Take W.E.B. DuBois’ word for it, those border ruffian Pottawatomie fuckers had it coming.

i've seen a lot of pundits using the hamas videos of the night of the raids and killings as proof of hamas inhumanity and barbarity, because a guy talking about how happy is killing israelis is a lot more impactful to these people than the slow-motion slaughter of thousands of children in the distances through artillery and blockades.

Seriouspost.

I think it is in part a reflection of how insanely violent even "peaceful" western society is. Just because the boot on your neck is not physically manifest does not mean that violence is not being done day in day out.
Thus a great many westerners are insanely receptive to violent imagery, fantasies and of course propagandist narratives about the enemy being even more so.

The PFLP has literally said that posting is essential to the cause, and Nasrallah has often talked about the "battle of awareness" or "battle of consciousness" in his speeches, where it is necessary to make people believe that winning is even possible, because Israel's goal is to spread despair.

a hyper militarized apartheid state hearing about Hamas at a rave would 100% panic and go loving frank 'i just started shooting' into a crowd, I don't find that hard to believe at all.

it makes a lot of sense especially with what we have heard about officers getting got during this time (obviously don't know if this was happening simultaneously but seems likely to me) and the shattering of an idea of invulnerability that's held on for decades.

it would be shocking to me if the IDF isn't exactly what happened to most of the 400. sort of a bush did 9/11 thing again, everything old is new again

e: I'm just some loving idiot so idk maybe there's some Hamas super grenade supply truck they had that would make more sense

the rave was supposed to end on the 6th, but the IDF gave them permission to continue on through the weekend

if you place civilians in the line of fire, and then fail to protect them, it's your fault that they died - it doesn't even matter whether or not friendly-fire was involved. Israeli settlers getting killed on the 7th is no more Hamas's fault than it's Russia's fault when Ukraine refused to evacuate its cities and towns because they needed the PR effect of babushkas picking up AKs and molotovs

It would actually be pretty stupid for Hamas to spend a bunch of time and ammo actively hunting down civilians in a time operation, especially when they probably prefer to take hostages anyway. Civilians were obviously in the crossfire, but the Israelis have already essentially admitted they had helicopters go in to try to "clean up" the situation Hannibal style. It wasn't an isolated case either. In addition, most of the names had military names attached, and while arguably some were off-study reservists, it could be very well be they were just killing a lot of active duty service personnel and doing a much of damage to the Israelis in a way they still don't want to admit.

The beheaded babies and all the other stuff they have tried have been a cynical smoke screen.

-----------------

They want to get rid of Hamas because it is the only force willing and capable of defending the Palestinian people inside Palestine itself.

The rave was IDF soldiers tripping on MDMA next to the world’s largest concentration camp, that’s why there were tanks and attack helicopters there. None of them deserve sympathy and it was a legitimate military target.
