About Rafa?

Thanks for the sources.

I should’ve clarified. They aren’t currently using uniforms. As in, in the fighting since the 7th of October. They justify it themselves in interviews and you can see it in videos of theirs.

It does not matter whether they are doing it now, later or in the past. My point is: both sides are purposefully blending in society of the Palestinian people and that Hamas does indeed have their own military uniforms.

About the pictures, this article shows them. Reuters also mentioned them, but it’s written they haven’t verified them yet.

So it is not verified yet or is it? As long as it is not verified by someone else than Israel or Hamas, how certain can we as viewers and readers be? Israel is known for lying to the entire world. Few examples of their lies:

1. IDF found a calendar in Arabic, not a Hamas ‘names list’ at hospital

2. Israeli soldier claims Arabic calendar is Hamas ‘guardian list’

3. Watching the watchdogs: Babies and truth die together in Israel-Palestine

And that isn’t the IDF, it’s the Israeli police’s counter-terrorism unit.

Making a distinct between IDF and their police unit does not matter. Israel is doing it as well. That’s my point. Therefore you cannot only ‘point fingers’ to Hamas.

Honestly my whole point of argument is; there’s no justifying what Israel has been doing since 7 October. Way (way) to many innocent Palestinian civillains have been murdered by Israel with very little ‘‘victory’’ for Israel. Israel’s PM goal is not achievable at all. Because Hamas will forever exist as long as Israel is the occupier, stealing land, illegal settlements, Apartheid and everything else they do towards the Palestinian people.

Deif is right after Sinwar in the chain of command in Gaza. Rafa Salama, the commander of the Khan Younis Brigade, was also targeted in that strike. The attack was on a fenced Hamas compound. I’ve seen they already published satellite pictures from before and after the strike.

You claim something but provide no evidence for the readers of your comment. So where’s the evidence? I’m curious. Any article I find writes only about Deif being the target, here’s one of them written on 13 July 2024:

Who is Mohammed Deif, Hamas military commander targeted by Israel?

From the article:

It is not yet known if Deif was killed in the Israeli strike that targeted him Saturday

Israel’s military says it targeted Mohammed Deif, the commander of Hamas’s military wing, in a strike Saturday.

Israel said Saturday that it targeted Mohammed Deif, the shadowy Hamas military leader, in an operation in the Mawasi area of southern Gaza. There was no immediate confirmation that Deif was killed, but the strikes on an area packed with displaced people left at least 90 Palestinians dead and 300 injured, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.

Your next text:

I’ve seen they already published satellite pictures from before and after the strike

You have already ‘seen’ it but provide no link to the source of your claim where you’ve seen it. Provide a source; otherwise, it’s just a rumor or a lie.

And so far I haven’t seen reports that distinguish between combatants and civilians. Either way Hamas combatants usually don’t wear uniforms. You can see it in the videos they publish.

Not entirely true either: Israel Sought to Contain Hamas for Years. Now It Faces a Potentially Costly Fight to Eliminate It.

The article is paywalled but the article is not the point, the image they use is. It shows how Hamas dresses usually. Sometimes they do wear normal clothes, just as IDF soldiers do. Did you forget what IDF did? Let me remind you:

1. Israeli special forces disguised as doctors kill three militants at West Bank hospital

2. Israeli troops dressed as civilians and medics kill three during raid on West Bank hospital.

3. Israeli special forces dressed as Palestinian refugees for hostage rescue: Sources.

Even ‘‘better’’, here’s a video of IDF dressed as women in action:

4. Israeli Forces Dressed as Women and Medics Storm West Bank Hospital | VOA News

So all the ones killed are Hamas combatants.

Ah yeah, just like they bombed the refugee camps and everything else they did?

1. Strapped down, blindfolded, held in diapers: Israeli whistleblowers detail abuse of Palestinians in shadowy detention center. Were all these people who got humiliated from Hamas?

2. Death toll in Israeli attack on displaced Palestinians in Rafah rises to 45.

Were all these people in Rafah who were bombed and murdered ‘‘Hamas’’? Was the child who got beheaded a Hamas member? The video is still somewhere on Instagram but Instagram is restricting all accounts with it.

3. Israeli forces’ systemic denial of fair trial rights to Palestinian child prisoners amounts to arbitrary detention.

Where are these people ‘‘Hamas’’?

4. Israel prevents hundreds of worshippers from entering Al-Aqsa on first night of Ramadan.

Or these people that just wanted to go to Al-Aqsa for their religion.

5. Israel’s PM Netanyahu ‘proud’ of preventing establishment of a Palestinian state.

Not to forget about their PM being proud of this.

6. Far-right minister says nuking Gaza an option, PM suspends him from cabinet meetings.

But it is okay to say that you want to literally oblirated a whole race, right? /s

7. Israel Defense Minister Calls Palestinians ‘Human Animals’ Amid Israeli Aggression.

It’s okay to call other people ‘‘human animals’’, just like the Nazi’s did back in WW2 about the Jewish people.

8. Video shows Israeli settler trying to take over Palestinian house.

Not to forget about this.

I’ll look into that! I’m a bit wary of trying these things on iPhone though.

I have no idea about coding and such. However? It is a cool idea and would be fun to use Apollo again (if that’s possible).

I really like Lemmy but some of the subreddits are not in here. Or they are but empty/ death.

Z-library was a massive pirate repository for ebooks.

It still is. The site is still up and running, they even upgraded their system to have Telegram Bots for its users.

The only thing that could get me a little bit of LeagueOfLegends feeling is Hades 2. Though not even that can give me similar dopamine as LeagueOfLegends does.

I honestly think there’s no replacement for it unfortunately. So I suppose, got to just detox and get used to the lower dopamine from games (speaking about myself).

I have been trying to get into Medium for a while now. It seems okay but lacks a lot quality content and their website somehow do not give me recent blogs. The site always gives me blogs from 2017-2020, never from 2024.

The site is immensely paywalled, almost all articles are paid. Now if the articles/ content was actually decent, I might’ve paid. However, sadly it is not and there’s a way to read the premium articles for free. So there’s that.

Been trying to find other places to read blogs but can’t seem to find a good place.

I’m not a fan of Tate and don’t like him at all but I have never once seen actual evidence of the claims. Which I find odd.

If he truly did all these horrifying things, he should be sent to prison for good. However, I haven’t seen a single evidence of any claims. Perhaps it’s me not looking the right way.

• Recently finished Cyberpunk 2077. For all its hype, I found it a mediocre/ generic game.
• I’m trying to get into Baldur’s Gate 3 but it seems, it just is not my type of game (first D&D). Might also have to do with the fact, I tried to replace LeagueOfLegends with Baldur’s Gate.
• (re)playing Last of Us 1 (remake version on PC). Stays a great game.
• Debating whether to quit Returnal and play another game such as Alan Wake 2 or Hellblade 2.

I’m also trying to find a isometric/ top-down game to replace LeagueOfLegends with. But no luck.

Haven’t checked the video because the comments say enough. Though perhaps here are three takes;

• Make prices decent and not €70 for a 8 years old game.
• Decent hardware that allows at least 60FPS.
• Have decent joycons (I keep reading that there are issues with it).

Though, doesn’t matter for me. Will never purchase a console or game from that shit company. Rather put on the eyepatch for this company.

Unfortunately and sadly doesn’t surprise me anymore. All big platforms (Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, YouTube, Pinterest and such) are allowing hateful stuff towards Palestinian people.

However when someone criticizes Israel government and their genocide. Your comment, video or anything else gets removed within A day. Even if it is not even related to the entire thing.

I have a Pinterest account and have a Palestinian board and it got twice removed for “hate speech” while it shows nothing of hate. Merely Palestinian things such as flags, clothes, people and such.

It’s pretty obvious that social media as a whole is just a corrupt mess.

Yeah, I’m. For multiple reasons;

• In Arabian culture, one doesn’t leave until marriage.
• I’m still in university (almost finished tho).
• Parents have health problems therefore, I’ll stay longer to take care for them.
• House prices are insanely high (both renting and purchasing).

I’m living in Europe though but my dad is from a Arabian country and well, culture stayed with him. Anyway, I’d help a lot at home. Household things, helping with groceries, medication and such.

That said, I don’t care what anyone says about still living at home and not on my own. There will be always a chance to get an apartment but people often forget; parents won’t be here forever. One day they’ll pass away. Never forget that.

With everything that’s going on in the world, I feel like “freedom of speech” doesn’t exist. It’s just a “buzz”.

Just to name a few things;

• You want to criticize Israel? Antisemitism!
• You want to criticize US-related Israel things? Antisemitism!
• You want to provide evidence of crimes? That’s a ‘crime’!
• You are against killing innocent people? Antisemitism!
• You want to protest? You disrupt the order and therefore a crime!

Perhaps it is just me being pessimistic.

At the end of this week, I will be getting a new game PC. So, I will play:

1. The last of us part 1 remake
2. High On Life
3. Cyberpunk 2077
4. Alan Wake 2 (half replaying it, already played 4 hours on the PS5)

Israel did not start this bullshit no top finish the removal. Get real, that’s what we are getting.

I don’t really understand what you’re saying/ writing honestly. If you mean that Israel didn’t start this entire thing, I’d say, I disagree. Due to the history of how Israel become an actual state (1948, 750 000 displaced, lots of Palestinian murdered and many other atrocities). Not to mention the ongoing apartheid system, illegal settlers and such.

Real question is where are these people going or we just gonna let Israel massacre them at the Egyptian border?

That’s one of the main problems. If other countries let the Palestinian people in their country it’s a free-ticket for far-right extremist Israel to steal everything from the Palestinian land. Which is a no-no.

But if nothing is done, Israel will just keep bombing Gaza which results in innocent Palestinians being murdered by Israel.

So here we are; majority of the countries doing nothing, Palestinians being murdered and lots of protests around the world.

I hate to nitpick, but saying you’re ready to hammer out the details, does not mean you accept the deal

No, yeah. You are right however (The article below is from 6 May). Now I cannot remember whether it was accepted by both parties. But it shows that Hamas definitely are willing to accept deals whereas Israel is continuously deliberately trying to avoid any deals.

Israel Gaza: Hamas says it accepts ceasefire proposal

From the article:

Hamas says it has informed Qatari and Egyptian mediators that it has accepted their proposal for a new Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal with Israel.

Your comment below (done this to avoid confusion between your comment and the text from the article);

I don’t believe Israel would have accepted any ceasefire at all, at most they’re open to a “pause”.

I agree somewhat. I, personally, believe that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not want a ceasefire. However, I think that normal civilians of Israel do want a ceasefire (especially the families of the hostages).

EDIT: Added a few sentences and corrected some words

The Israeli official made further comments blaming Hamas for the impasses, echoing the language of Israeli and US officials that “the ball is Hamas’s court” and that stopping the war is in their hands.

Did Hamas not accept a deal before while Israel (I assume their PM) rejected it? Found the article: Hamas accepts UN ceasefire resolution, ready to negotiate over details, official says

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stating clearly that Israel does not support a permanent ceasefire.

Israel blaming Hamas for not having a ceasefire or any deal and then this written in the article.

Israel’s demand appears to be for Hamas to release all the hostages right now in exchange for a temporary ceasefire

I mean any sane person would understand Hamas won’t accept this. This means they lose all negotiation ‘material’ (could not find a better word, apologies). The deal should be something along lines of; release of all hostages and a permanent ceasefire.

Hamas has said it will only support a deal that includes a permanent ceasefire

Exactly this. They are willing to accept a deal, it is Israel who does not want to accept anything.

And certain countries and people will still shout the utter nonsense “right to defend themselves”.

Majority of the countries have failed humanity. They’re doing nothing after so many atrocities and the UN only have words but zero actual actions.

This pretty much shows and proves that one small state is the ‘leader’ of every country, even the US.

Currently as intern at a municipality as financial advisor. Hoping to get a job from within the municipality.
