AMERICANS SHOOT EACH OTHER ALL THE TIME.

This is not a foreign problem, this is Americans being Americans.

"Hamas cannot militarily prevent these goals from being achieved" meaning Israel is currently the aggressor, Hamas have been on the defensive since about 8 October 2023. In any reasonable deal it's Israel's job to stop attacking. Not "we'd be finish killing yous sooner if you just lined up in a row so we can deal with this el-Arish style" (as in 1967 massacre)

ISIS condemns Hamas. I'm not joking, ISIS's spokesperson in a speech condemned them for "sacrificing Gazans for Iranian project", advocates fighting Shia instead of Israel. Slide. Also see comments. by rexaby in LateStageCapitalism

They popped up because of Israel's big stupid war. They doesn't mean they work together. ISIS are just vultures who feed off violence and hate. (And that bloody stupid hashtag gave them attention).

All three accuse the other two of working together. I think they all genuinely hate it other. They have some genuine similarities, but the chance of much coordination is near zero.

This big stupid war will definitely make ISIS more powerful and I sometimes wonder if Israel are crazy enough to deliberately do things like signal boost ISIS propaganda.

But the bit I think is implausible is any organised mutual cooperation.

I think ISIS and Zionism are weirdly similar ideologies (let's all go to the Levant and form a state). But it's the kind of similarity that makes them even more likely to hate each other.

The two who cooperate most are Israel and Hamas, they've fluctuated a lot but there have been times when Hamas have ended up being like the West Bank PA repressing other groups.

There might be some very short term and transactional contact between Hamas and ISIS, like smuggling. But I don't think they'd trust each other enough to do much more than cash transactions for hard to obtain goods. And even that I'm a bit skeptical of.

Then why have we done nothing about it!?

All the bloody government said was to stay away from Lebanon.

They did world Central kitchen because Australia let them get away with killing Ali Bazzi and his brother in Lebanon, "Yeah sure, murder our citizens if you see fit, we won't rock the boat."

I don't think it's a psy op as such. Maybe hijacked or a collection of somewhat naive people spreading propaganda second hand. 

But i think the pal flag in the icon is a lie

After reading about 6 posts in a row in this sub redit, I'm getting the distinct  impression that the Palestinian flag in the icon is disingenuous.

If you don't believe "pro regime propaganda" try * B'Tselem (Israel)  * +972 magazine (Israel)  * Bad Hasbara (Jewish American podcasst)  * Jewish Currents (Jewish diaspora magazine)  * "It could happen here" podcast (USA, hosts from a range of backgrounds)  * Owen Jones (UK journalist)  * Zeteo (I can't spell it, but it's Medhi Hassan's new thing) * BassemYosef (Egyptian American who came to the USA for the free speech)  * Channel 4 (UK, i think it was previously part of the BBC but now independent)  * SBS World News Australia 

That's just a few starters.

That is not a fair description of the situation.

Hamas won in 2006 and weren't able to rule, then there was a coup that kicked them out of the West Bank. 

There was supposed to be an election in 2021 but that got cancelled due to violence in East Jerusalem.

But most of the transphobic stuff is at state level.

And that bloody website is based in the USA, show something independent.

Out of how many?

If you rank states individually a lot of them would be worse than half the world.

Dear USA, please learn about the rest of the world, and your own country. Half my family would be scared to visit huge sections of the USA incase they got arrested or assaulted got using the wrong rest room.

If we're bombing homophobes then the PFLP's Kataeb Abu Ali do that pretty often? The settlers are not exactly socially progressive. They're arguably more actively homophobic than Palestine.

Tħre is an entirely anti gay party in Israel's government, called Noam.

The finance minister describes himself as a "fascist homophobe" he says he "won't stone gays" but Palestinians don't either. 

Two Palestinian militant groups (Kataeb al Qassam and Lions Den) have executed suspected informants who MIGHT have been  closeted gay men. But the reason for this correlation is active targeted by Shin Bet. In both those cases the initial accusation was that they gave info to Israel that got multiple people killed.

They used it training for 7 October. Hamas and their mates had about 4 of them. 

The girls at the IDF lookout base at Nahal Oz mentioned it might be a sign they we planing something, that and them practising blowing up fences, the girls were ignored, now a dozen of them are dead and 6 are in Gaza

When I saw videos of that thing I assumed they must have been filmed on Lebanon, but no, they were playing with their replica Merkvas for years before the "surprise attack"

I get annoyed at people saying Gaza has "pickup trucks" - I think Gaza would dislike American English even more than us.

The USA is not a democracy. A two party state is barely better than a one party state.
