there are narcos in rio. shall we bomb rocinha?
Discussion
That depends, if the narcos side with Hamas and indiscriminately fire rockets against civilian areas and then hide amongst civilians to use them as shields I'd say yes, good people are gonna die but I don't see much of an alternative
narcos ARE hamas in this case, that's my point.
and here's a solution: intelligence. you infiltrate someone, you discover shit up, you settle a trap, and you arrest and/or kill the bad guys.
over 35 thousand good people and innocent children have died already. that's genocide.
Sounds simple enough and they do that very often on the west bank and it seems to work, but how do you plan on setting up such a trap inside of Gaza without entering it with troops and therefore inevitably engaging Hamas and catching civilians in crossfire?
And about the 35 thousand dead, well that number comes from the health ministry of Gaza which happens to be directly controlled by Hamas, and the group has lied about that quite shamelessly before (remember the missile on the hospital case from a few months ago), my point being that not only are the not a reliable source but they also have every incentive to jack the numbers up as hard as they can. Now I have no proof that it's fake but we have no way of checking.
nah, that's mainstream media narrativa, just like they're doing with venezuela now. I follow independent media that reports the deaths on a daily basis, I can't stand seeing children corpses anymore.
as for the tactics, they just killed hamas leader yesterday like that. the only thing their current tactics do is to make hamas greater and greater with even more soldiers willing to die for allah.
Also, Iran's proxies did what they did on October 7th, they started this mess, and whoever starts violence is ultimately responsible for it's results
do you really it all started on October 7th? please, read about nakba.
if you could translate this, I wrote it myself:

I have no tender feelings towards Israel either, they have done more than their fair share of evil already and I hope an independent Palestinian state finally gets created after this, but that's unlikely
as things are unfolding right now... very unlikely ,I'd say. more probable that the whole region just blows up for good in a nuclear nuke.
Yes I'm aware of the nakba and about the broader conflict being a century old already, my point is that if Iran and it's proxies are allowed to get away with what they did on October 7th that will certainly embolden other such groups, if they know they can get what they want by doing terror raids why would they ever hold back again?
perhaps if the united states and Israel leave them alone for a change then maybe they'd hold back? all this mess started with USA, as usual, tryna beat "communism" and steal their oil. great book bout it: https://pt.z-library.rs/book/2269831/2ed1cf/americas-great-game-the-cias-secret-arabists-and-the-shaping-of-the-modern-middle-east.html
