Lemmy.world running better and better, thank yall for all that you do!

Source? I was under the impression that Hamas was in charge of all Governance in the Gaza Strip

EDIT: Following the 2007 Hamas takeover of Gaza, a month-long doctors' strike ensued due to political disputes. The new Gaza government, with Basem Naim as Health Minister, replaced Fatah-affiliated hospital directors and staff with Hamas loyalists. Jomaa Alsaqqa, a 20-year surgeon at al-Shifa Hospital, lost his job due to his Fatah support and faced arrests and assaults since the Hamas takeover. In response, Naim stated "the hospital managers weren't fired for political reasons: they were fired because of managerial, financial, and moral corruption in the hospitals." per wikipedia article here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_Health_Ministry)

While there are political independent and non political members of the Gaza Health Ministry it is still under the direction of Hamas itself.

This is an area of credibility that is still up in the air with reliable sources claiming that it is both reliable and unreliable numbers that are being published. None of it though dismisses the fact that innocents are dying from Israel's War with Hamas, innocents that contain children

It's a bit more complicated than that no?

To also be fair, producers have been trying to raise prices on game for over 15 years now to little traditional success and instead relying on battle pass and micro transactions

I don't think it is surprising that with recent events they are attempting to raise prices again

I mean, there is a dish in Japanese cooking too that's similar https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikizukuri

Fantastic Videos, and yes Israel has given more than enough cause for Palestinians to act against them. But none of them excuse the crimes that Hamas have committed both on Oct 7th and in the past as well

And one may also argue if Israel miraculously manage to destroy Hamas, there would be soon another group taking their place in the open vacuum so this would solve nothing in the long term. The only way to solve this problem is Israel to offer Palestine some concessions, cease fire and start treating them fairly in exchange of change of the leadership in the country and disarment of the Hamas war wing, which I don’t see happening with the current government.

in all honesty I don't think there is any good outcome from this outside of a potential return of Fatah into Gaza

In the past Hamas was willing to work with Israel to avoid violence under the assumption that Israel would assist with Aid

However with Israel's recent actions in the West Bank over the past few years I do not believe that there will be any true lasting peace until there is a political shift in Israel's leadership

If you find it not complicated then you are either uneducated and not impartial

I hope for the former and that you will educate yourself (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli%E2%80%93Palestinian_conflict)

Article 34 of the 1949 Geneva Convention IV states that the taking of hostages is prohibited

I'm sorry that you are so clouded by hate

Wow, this some decent drama. What is your biggest concern for communication between Lenny.world admins and Meta?

Ministries of Health in Gaza is Hamas lead no? Would not be surprised to see the numbers in Gaza being inflated

“Hamas has now been in charge of Gaza for 16 years. It has squeezed the life out of honesty and probity. Any health official stepping out of line and not giving the death tolls that Hamas wants reported to journalists risks serious consequences. I’m not denying there are civilians being killed. At all, including many children. That’s verifiable. What is not verifiable are the numbers that emerge throughout the day from Gaza of new death tolls — 700 killed in the last 24 hours, 500 killed in the Ahli hospital car park blast, 5,000 killed since October 8. Hamas has a clear propaganda incentive to inflate civilian casualties as much as possible. There was a time when the figures from the ministry could be relied upon. The doctors and administrators knew what they were doing.”

is there further reading on this? I know in the past Israel sent material to Hamas (Governor's of Gaza) in attempts to curtail rocket attacks

link to said list is broken btw https://www.moh.gov.ps/portal/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/%D8%AA%D9%82%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%B1-%D9%86%D9%87%D8%A7%D8%A6%D9%8A-%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%B3%D9%85%D8%A7%D8%A1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B4%D9%87%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%A1-1.pdf (link in the article)

Thank you for the articles

not incorrect, but it's a common tactic used in Asymmetrical Warfare that is seen in the Levant when one side dwarf the other in conventional military size and strength

is it honorable? no, but it one of the few tactics hamas has in operating against Israel

Thank you for the updated list

The insult is not needed by the way

very nice

non violent march in 2018 "Most of the demonstrators demonstrated peacefully far from the border fence.. Nevertheless, groups consisting mainly of young men approached the fence and committed acts of violence directed towards the Israeli side" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018%E2%80%932019_Gaza_border_protests)

And they will need to keep approaching Nonviolence. It is the only solution that is viable for a long lasting peace

You are not a psychic, you can make any prediction you want but it will never achieve clairvoyance

Mass violence is NEVER a counter to mass violence

Was nothing learned from the non-violence movements?

Softening the murder of children with the murder of other children would be an illogical excuse

The evidence of such you know cannot be posted here

I only leave this https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/hamas-babies-beheading-kfaz-aza-b2427627.html

He says, unironically as he justifies the beheading of children. Gross. /s

See how that sounds? Stop misappropriating people's character

yes genocide as a response to genocide is the only solution /s

The killing of kids is terrible

Israel's goal of Hamas' destruction makes it unavoidable

Without a change in Gaza further attacks from Hamas are unavoidable

And unless there is a government in Israel that stops the settlement and incursions of Radical Israelis in the west bank there will be no peace

There is no true and just change here at this time that fixes everything

I agree. But Israel's apartheid actions are not just cause to enact rocket strikes, torture, suicide attacks, mass taking of hostages, mass attacks on innocents, or the beheading of children

It is hard, because there is no one side that has so far not committed a war crime

I don’t see how Palestinians really benefit on the long run from inflating the number of deaths. So many have died and no countries have enough courage or decency to impose sanctions on Israel for it yet. If Palestinians want more deaths, they have a catalog of victims of Israeli crimes, torture cases in prison, etc.

Currently there is a massive information campaign that is being waged by Isral and the US vs Iran and Gaza https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disinformation_in_the_2023_Israel%E2%80%93Hamas_war

There are attempts to push international support to one side or the other that cause direct impact to this war

Every little gain possible is to shift support to one side or the other

Ministries of Health in Gaza is Operated by Hamas, so it would not be outlandish to say these numbers are being inflated in order to push public opinion and international support

After Hamas' actions on the 7th I don't see Israel stepping back. Their previous attempts at curtailing Hamas were already under criticism for not going far enough, and that was before the largest attack in decades had occurred
