Of course if you go to tankie central you get tankies. They’re also acting like Putin didn’t order the shelling and capture of Ukrainian cities and it’s all just (insert kremlin talking point here).

They are a specific niche of political mind. The kind that only thinks western nations are capable of propaganda and evil. Don’t take them as representative of smarter people.

Somebody told me recently on here that "Hamas is facing a genocide" apparently without any sort of irony or remorse.

I mean, Hamas took power by killing Palestinian civilians. They don’t represent anyone and they openly say they will martyr civilians.

The Palestinian National Authority (Fatah) was the democratically elected government of Palestine before 2007. Hamas staged a coup and executed Fatah officials, which is why Gaza and the West Bank are separate entities today.

Hamas is as much a state as Al-Qaeda. They’re a terrorist group that seized power by way of murder and have openly declared they intend to use their citizens as shields and martyrs.

They’re not a state. They’re a terror cell that deserves to be eliminated. Unfortunately their own admitted tactics of using civilians as shields means that civilians will be killed.

Difference is, Israel isn't meant to represent palestinian people, Hamas is. And they are doing a great job of it, if their job is getting civilians killed.

Edit: Just think about the massive protests against Netanyahu earlier in the year. Do those show how in tune the Israeli government and people are? No. But the very fact they could protest mostly peacefully differentiates Israel's treatment of its population from all of its neighbours.

To answer the question, what they think would happen: Their October 7th attacked achieved everything they wanted.

KSA and Israel we're coming to an understanding and treaty, that was against the interests of Iran who is in a power struggle with the KSA.

After their attack, it is now politically impossible for the KSA and Israel to have a treaty. That alone justifies this entire conflict from their power politics perspective

They never had any hope of inflicting damage on the Israeli government. They clearly don't care about their own civilian casualties. In fact The worst the reprisals the better for their recruitment and funding efforts.

Probably not directly related to the rationale for their attack, but it got them some ancillary support, it removed Russia's aggression from the news media cycle. Which probably got them some favor in those circles.

From a media perspective, this has been a massive Boone for their campaign. They more or less had disappeared from international headlines for the last 10 years. Now everybody is talking about the genocide, and the ethnic cleansing. They're going to pay very dearly for it, but that's more media attention than they've had for a decade.

Bro you merely have to look at this thread and the weekly world news/news threads to see leftists terrorist apologizers
