Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Gaza has 2 million inhabitants, 42.3% of which are 14 and younger. Anyone else a little bit worried?

This is just the price of liberation. No one said this would be easy. Just look at the casualty count of the Algerians and Vietnamese vs their colonizers. But the price of liberation means nothing without comparing it to the price of occupation. Gaza is nothing more than a giant concentration camp. Their complete extermination would have been inevitable had they not fight back.

Palestinian militants have seized the opportunity in the wake of Western weakness (the Ukraine counteroffensive completely floundering, the French getting kicked out of the Sahel) to launch their assault. "But Hamas gave the Zionists the mandate to exterminate them!" As if the Zionists ever needed a mandate to ethnically cleanse Palestinians with the open support of the international community^TM^. If the Zionists could get away with the Nakba, they could get away with anything. It turns out you don't actually need an excuse to ethnically cleanse people if you have the means to do so. Just look at Azerbaijan ethnically cleansing Nagorno-Karabakh.

So why have the Zionists waited until now to finally implement the Final Solution to the Gazan question? Why not 2021? Was Hamas and other militants shooting thousands of rockets throughout Israel including Tel Aviv in 2021 somehow not mandate^TM^ worthy? They're speeding up the "put the people of Gaza to the sword and salt the soil so that nothing grows there for a thousand years" timetable because they are desperate, and they are desperate because behind the bluster, they are weak.

Those conscripts won't know what hit them when they set foot in Gaza.
