In a 65-foot-deep tunnel in Rafah, hostages found executed by captors

Forces had no direct confrontation with Hamas terrorists who killed hostages; 'The IDF and security forces are doing everything possible to bring all hostages home as quickly as possible. This news shakes us all,' says army spokesperson Hagari
Israeli forces discovered the bodies of six hostages in a 65-foot-deep tunnel in Rafah, approximately a kilometer from where hostage Farhan Alkadi was recently freed. The IDF had no precise intelligence on the hostages' location in recent months but knew there were captives in the sector, leading to a gradual and cautious operation in Rafah since the ground offensive began.

No, the actions of Hamas were not inevitable. That is absolving them of moral culpability.
But thank you for proving my point that this is not a pro-Palestine movement, but rather an anti-Israeli movement.
Occupied people have a right to resist under international law.
International law does not protect terrorism against civilians.
Were you not aware of that?
Obviously I'm aware of that.
I wasn't sure you were. It seemed like you were trying to suggest that Oct. 7th was a legally protected action.
What specific actions done by Hamas are you attempting to claim are legally protected?
I wasn't talking about specific actions at all. You were responding to someone talking about whether the existence of Hamas was understandable. I agree with him that it is. Armed resistence against occupiers is to be expected and it's protected by international law.
Terrorism is not protected by international law.
Well aware. Didn't claim it was.
If you weren't suggesting that Hamas is merely armed resistance and legally protected by the international courts, what was your last sentence in reference to?
Hamas is an armed resistence and they sometimes perform acts of terrorism. Life isn't always black and white. Thanks for the discussion, but I'm done here.
And there it is, little buddy proving that this is not a Pro-Palestinian, but rather a pro-Hamas movement.
Don't be a coward who runs away after taking the mask off. Actually stand by what you said and be willing to discuss it.
There's little point discussing your strawmen
If you don't want to be called out for being a propagandist for a terrorist organization, the simple solution is to stop being one.
Inevitable is perhaps too strongly worded. But it is very likely and completely unexpected. Netenyahu sowed the wind and reaped the whirlwind, to the detriment of Israel and Israelis. Sure, there are movements such as Gandhi and Polish solidarity which were primarily non-violent, but they very much appear to be exceptions and not the rule. But I also love how the only point I raised against your statements is the only thing you haven't addressed in responses to me.
Well I am glad you see a distinction between Gandhi and Hamas. Some of you guys I don't think are capable of making that distinction.
But no, nothing Israel has ever done justified Oct. 7th. Hamas did not do that to liberate the Palestinian people. They did it because Iran paid them to and they knew it would kill a lot of their own people.
Gandhi's goal wasn't to get as many Indians killed as he could. Imagine if Hamas actually took inspiration from Gandhi though.
