Along_the_Wire totally agree, some people seem to think Hamas is just a group of people that if you kill they are gone forever, rather than it being a movement that will just attract new members.
Have people forgotten about Al Qaeda and the US attempt at trying to eliminate that.
There’s not been much about ISIS lately, but thanks to Israel their recruiting should be pretty easy now too.
This is pretty funny.
And this is pretty cool if it’s not photoshopped.
Homegrove This is pretty funny.
Why?
Because the person making the post doesn’t realise that Gothenburg is in Sweden, and not Germany? And that Christer Mattsson is Swedish, and not German?
Because do you not even realise that Gothenburg is in Sweden, and not Germany? And you didn’t realise that Christer Mattsson is Swedish, not German?
Lol indeed! Ignoramus.

My understanding is that Hamas are terrorists who control and enslave the otherwise peaceful and essentially harmless Palestinian woman and children. Scroll up a bit and read how “Gaza is not Hamas” and how the Palestinians only vote for Hamas under duress.
I guess it’s one of those where you can just change it to suit what is most convenient at any given moment.
perhaps not eliminated in the strict sense, but certainly disrupted to the point of near-irreverence.

Post 2001, Al Qaeda gradually decentralised forming groups (AQAP, AQIM, AQIS etc) in key regions and had further setbacks after Ayman al Zawahiri was taken out last year. They remain but their profile has changed and will be seeking opportunities to regroup.
Similarly, ISIS were largely defeated by around 2007 (following “the surge”) and retreated to the desert but re-emerged in 2011 with the Syrian conflict. After their clobbering in 2018, they reverted back to being an insurgency similar to the AQI days, but their “motto” is “Endure and Remain”, so no doubt they will be looking for the right time to make a comeback.
Right, well that’s me on the watchlist now.
zackster Yay freedom!
So is it a big deal that Palestinian citizens are apparently kept within the borders of their territory or not? You’re contradicting yourself here.
Also, if you think that they have a good way of life then how about you try and move there? I’m sure they’d welcome an American Jew with open arms - they’d probably throw a rooftop party for you.
hugopal Hugo, bubbale, be a mench and listen to me… for the 50th time, it is NOT Palestinians keeping Palestinians in place! Israel is the one posting snipers and robot machine gun towers outside of the chainlink fences or along the decrepit roads that lead to the multitude of checkpoints that require vias that take years to come and are ofter denied or only granted for sexual favors. It is not Palestinians controlling a poisonous water supplying electricity for 8 hours a day. I suggest you watch Abby Martin’s Gaza Fight’s For Freedom to actually see what life was actually like in Gaza before the mass genocide began. The entire thing is now free on YouTube.
This whole thread needs carpet-bombing asap.
zackster it is NOT Palestinians keeping Palestinians in place! Israel is the one
Except it is them as well - I literally just posted the article from the Guardian about it.
Women would not be free to leave Gaza even if Israel didn’t exist because of their own enacted laws.
Egypt also maintains a highly restricted border with Gaza.
The men are oppressive and a neighboring country from which they have never claimed citizenship has a well defended boarder… thats what you got?
