I just saw someone this week break a rib failing a bench solo. Be careful out there | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
When they need to find out its basically impossible. When hamas said they dont know how many are alive or where they are, its because they genuinely just dont. Each cell of hamas currently has near nonexistent communication with each other | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
No matter where you stand on this issue, the freeing of innocent hostages MUST be a massive win | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
This can be over today if Hamas just releases the hostages and disarms/hands over those responsible for Oct 7th. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
Maybe because the war is happening *in* Palestine?
In any case, the hostages being rescued is the top story on bbc.com, so I don't know what you're talking about. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
I mean yeah their name was but I dont think anyone forgot a big part of this reignition was hostages. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
And no one would of died is Israel never colonised the place | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
The thought is that they were likely all dead and that was why Hamas was actively skirting any ceasefire agreement that involved their return. Like bluffing in poker. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
Let me clarify for them: fuck all those who say "but they are all dead" with the agenda of stopping Israel from trying to rescue them.
Those who said "they are all dead" because they know Hamas is a murderous, rapacious, villainous organization that needs to be wiped from the face of the earth were just being pessimistic about hopes of rescue, which is a reasonable response. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |

Chriminy, these people are dumb. But 1948! | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
Yeah... which isn't Rafah. So this operation had literally nothing to do with going into Rafah. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
It’s not impossible. It means a lot of IDF soldiers dying however. What is impossible is destroying Hamas with their current tactics. Every civilian they kill creates another 3 Hamas fighters avenging their murdered daughter, son, father, brother or uncle. It’s the same story as the US in Vietnam. There’s thousands of tunnels underneath Gaza for Hamas fighters to stage attacks from. What they need to do is let in support for civilians, evacuate all the women and children and create a sustainable system for them to thrive so that instead of fighting, they’ll have a future to look to. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
How can you not see that every action of Hamas has been strategically aligned with using innocent and sick people as human shields?
Are you aware of the fact that these 4 hostages were being held in a crowded market in a crowded refugee camp?
Have you ever considered that the number of people who have been killed during this war has been made much worse due to the deliberate tactics of Hamas (almost all of which are war crimes)?
How many other refugee camps, schools, markets, mosques, hospitals, etc., are being used by Hamas to keep Israeli hostages?
Is there some easy way to tell an innocent Gazan and a Hamas member apart?
It's time to join the rational thinkers of the world and realize that this situation is much more dark and complex than people like you have been giving it credit for so far. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
Whatever it was, I’m sure Susan Sarandon is already out there denying it happened. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |

You’re completely missing the point. Why are people upset about Raffah? Because of civilians. This place was a refugee camp bustling with civilians and Hamas. Bro sit down | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
When people say the BBC is pro Hamas we can already tell they’re losing their argument, grasping at straws, and conflating ideology with globally respected journalism. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |

Get off tiktok, it’s rotting your brain. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
Technically, despite what the Hamas supporters claim about "war crimes" you don't need to. If they are participating, they are a combatant. If they aren't wearing some sort of distinguishing emblem (headbands, arm bands, etc. at a minimum) they might even be [unlawful combatants](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unlawful_combatant). | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |

> I’m sorry for the hardships on the Palestinians who don’t support Hammas
How many of those civilians are you prepared to see die in return for actions that they had no say in? The Israeli hostages are innocent victims in this, on that we both agree, but so are the 14 000 children that have already died and thousands more that will join them. How many innocent deaths are acceptable to you? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
Israel invaded Gaza and killed 30x the number of Israelis killed on Oct 7th. Pretty straight forward imo | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
That was never implied | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
Surrounded by these “innocent” civilians. Innocent is doing a lot of work here. They all know where Hamas is. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
The world and its "bullshit and weasel words" has released over a hundred hostages so far to the IDF's seven (and three murdered). I think that the world is doing a far better job, but then that's just facts, isn't it? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
They killed 20,000 non combatants and annihilated Gaza for me <3 | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
Oof what a horrible reality for them. All victims of shootings, tbh. Completely forgotten about by the time the next tragedy strikes | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
Yep, and none of those civilians would be dying if Hamas fought their war like soldiers instead of hiding in civilian centers like cowards. Or if they just hadn't started this war and kidnapped these hostages in the first place.
The Palestinian deaths are an absolute tragedy, but protecting Palestinian lives is Hamas' job. The Israeli government's job, first and foremost, is protecting Israeli citizens. Has are going out of their way to put their own people at risk, in an attempt to make Israel look bad. It's utterly embarrassing that anyone is falling for it. The saddest, scariest part of it is Hamas' whole strategy is banking on the rest of the world caring more about their own people than they themselves do. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |

They didn't even knock! | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
This is of course the only real way Hamas can fight against Israel.
Which is why they should not be starting a war in the first place. Palestine should be fighting diplomatically to create their own state, not fighting with violence uselessly for decades with the intent to conquer the former mandate of Palestine.
Just, I get there are external support that want the fighting to continue. But I also can’t see anyone actually see the destruction of Israel by terrorist forces being possible. Or personally that it would be reasonable. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
Well, we can be thankful the IDF didn't shoot these. So good on them. They got their save count back in the positive. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
This is wonderful news. I thought it was extremely unlikely to save any more hostages at this point. I'm so glad that they are free. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |

70%+ of Palestinians support Hamas' decision to attack Israel in October.
60%+ of Palestinians still support Hamas as the ruling party of Gaza.
~70% of Palestinians are perfectly happy with Hamas continuing the war. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
No it's not an 'insight' in the slightest, it's simply mouthing pious platitudes.
It is on the same level of insight as saying "It's harder to see when it is dark". | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
“The same operation in Rafah is what allows hostages to be rescued.”
Except…it didn’t. As you pointed out, the op was not in Rafah, and there is absolutely no evidence given that intelligence gathered in Rafah drove the op.
You can justify the Rafah operation in many ways, but contorting yourself to tie this rescue to that isn’t it. It reminds me of what the Bush administration did post-Iraq invasion. Tying unrelated events together to justify the invasion after it was obvious there were no WMDs.
Again, you can find reasons to justify the Rafah op, but this isn’t one of them. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
🙏🥲🎉🥁🎇
this overwhelms me instantly, so much emotion. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
It didn’t.
The comments are all contorting themselves to make it sound as though it did though… | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
Just a quick question: when people cite approval ratings and polls, who exactly is doing the polls and where is that information coming from? I’ve been led to believe that Hamas is a corrupt terrorist organization that will do everything they can to maintain control and have been caught openly lying about things and spreading propaganda and have been told you can’t believe anything Hamas says or releases because it most likely isn’t true.
So wouldn’t that also apply to these polls and approval statistics if Hamas is the one conducting and releasing them? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
Oh yeah, I definitely wasn’t saying it was anything close to a war crime, and by all accounts I’ve seen you’re right that Hamas has widespread support there. I just feel bad with people who legitimately don’t support them, but I forced into a dangerous situation | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
This.
People act like they can just go to the ballot box and vote these assholes out…
Also, kind of hard to get rid of the ones with all the guns, funds, and foreign backing… | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
People have to live with the consequences of the government that represents them. Facing Hamas should be easier than what’s happening now | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |

>For months, Russia’s army has made only limited gains on the battlefield against Ukrainian troops starved of weapons and ammunition. That’s a growing challenge for President Vladimir Putin as his military’s advantage starts to erode.
>
>With Kyiv now taking delivery of billions of dollars in fresh arms from its US and European allies, the window for a Russian breakthrough is narrowing even as it continues to fire missiles and drones at Ukrainian cities including energy infrastructure.
>
>A Russian attempt to open a new front in Ukraine’s northeast Kharkiv region already appears bogged down without achieving Putin’s goal of creating a buffer zone along the border. Ukraine claims to be inflicting “very high losses” on Russian troops in battles around the town of Vovchansk.
>
>Russian forces advanced only marginally since taking the strategic eastern Ukrainian town of Avdiivka in February at the cost of huge casualties in months of fighting. They’ve been trying for weeks to take the key settlement of Chasiv Yar in the eastern Donetsk region.
>
>Russia’s strategy of attrition to exhaust Ukraine’s forces is “very expensive and bloody for the Russian army itself,” said Ruslan Pukhov, head of the Moscow-based Centre for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies. “It can lead to excessive exhaustion of forces on the Russian side, which in turn, gives Ukrainians a chance to counter attack.”
>
>While Russia is mounting attacks at several points along the front line, “we have chances to change the situation in our favor,” Ukrainian armed forces Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said Wednesday on Telegram.
>
>Putin insists his war goals are unchanged and that Russia will fight for as long as needed to win in Ukraine, regardless of mounting casualties in a war that’s in its third year with no end in sight. Ukraine and its allies face the challenge of sustaining resistance in a war that’s largely reached a stalemate.
>
>While Ukrainian officials raised the alarm about the threat of a Russian breakthrough during months of delays over US arms deliveries, Kyiv’s troops mostly held the line despite being outgunned as much as 10-1 by Moscow’s invading army. With President Joe Biden’s administration rushing US arms to Ukraine after Congress finally approved $61 billion in funding in April, the balance of firepower is beginning to shift.
>
>“Ukraine was in a deep hole due to the delay” in sending US weaponry “and they’ve been digging out of that hole,” US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told reporters Tuesday on board Air Force One. “We have seen them withstand the Russian assault,” and in a situation that’s developing dynamically “weapons arriving on the battlefield at scale and quantity in the last few days and weeks have made a difference,” he said.
>
>European Union nations are also ramping up aid and weapons supplies to bolster Kyiv, even as Hungary’s Russia-friendly government continues to block billions of euros in wider military support.
>
>Putin must also now contend with a shift in attitude from Ukraine’s allies, with the US and Germany joining nations including the UK in authorizing Kyiv to use their weapons to strike targets in border areas inside Russia. French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday said he’s working on sending a coalition of instructors to train thousands of soldiers in Ukraine, despite threats of retaliation from Moscow.
>
>Group of Seven leaders will meet next week in Italy to weigh plans to provide loans to Ukraine using windfall profits from about $280 billion in frozen Russian central bank assets.
>
>“The prospects of Russia achieving victory this year have greatly reduced as a result” of the resumption of weapons supplies and aid, said Ben Barry, senior fellow for land warfare at the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies. “Russia might have the largest number of soldiers, but a lot of their first rate armored vehicles have been destroyed” and it’ll take years to rebuild the army to its 2022 level, he said. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
>Putin’s decision to appoint Andrey Belousov, an economist, as defense minister last month in place of his long-serving ally Sergei Shoigu underscored Russia’s need to squeeze more from the stretched resources of an economy that’s overheating, even if unprecedented international sanctions failed to trigger a collapse.
>
>Defense spending as a percentage of gross domestic product is nearing levels last reached at the height of the Cold War in the 1980s under the Soviet Union, limiting Russia’s ability to continue ratcheting up military production.
>
>While Russia massively increased output of missiles, artillery, tanks and munitions since the February 2022 invasion, “building an effective economy for the Armed Forces is essential today,” Putin told a May 25 meeting with defense industry officials. It must “generate returns on every ruble we invest in it.”
>
>To be sure, both sides face formidable challenges, particularly in recruiting replacements for killed or wounded troops. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy signed a new mobilization law lowering the age of the draft, though manpower remains a problem for the military.
>
>The Kremlin is determined not to repeat Putin’s September 2022 order to draft 300,000 reservists, a mobilization that shook public support and triggered an exodus of as many as a million Russians from the country. It’s relying instead on offering generous pay and signing bonuses to attract recruits as the Defense Ministry aims to enlist at least 250,000 more soldiers this year.
>
>While the policy avoids social tensions inside Russia over the war, it’s unlikely to allow the army to amass enough troops for a successful offensive in Ukraine, according to Pukhov, the Moscow-based military analyst. “For a real breakthrough the Kremlin would need far more people,” he said.
>
>Putin said in December that Russia had 617,000 troops deployed in Ukraine. At a meeting with foreign media in St. Petersburg late Wednesday, he appeared to imply that some 10,000 Russian troops a month were being killed or wounded, by claiming the total was five times lower than Ukrainian losses he put at 50,000.
>
>Ukraine rejects such estimates of its casualties. Zelenskiy said in February his military had lost 31,000 soldiers since the start of the war.
>
>The US in December put the number of killed and wounded Russian troops at 315,000, close to 90% of the original invasion force. The UK Defence Ministry last week raised its estimate of total Russian casualties to 500,000 and said losses were running at 1,200 per day in May.
>
>Russia hasn’t translated its battlefield advantages into major gains because its commanders “waste manpower in pursuit of their goals and Ukrainian forces are effective on the defense when they are supplied with men and materiel,” said Dara Massicot, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. “There are still meaningful limits to Russian military power.” | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |

Normal background noise. I mean, ukranians have been constantly bombed for almost 2 and a half years now without stop and it looked a lot worse in the past few months. So I can see how they are not all happy. But we are either nearing the peak of russian momentum, or have already passed it. Strikes into russian territory definitely helped a lot and will continue to help.
Little did Russia know: It was the West that was coming with the consequences and not the other way around. Russia already played its biggest card: war. Cant get much worse than this at this point. But there is a lot of potential for things to get a lot more sour for the Kreml.
That r/conservative is parroting that stuff isnt surprising. There has been an article in a german newspaper a few days ago where the "russian playbook" from 2021 was dropped and translated. It extensively talks about involving the politically right-wing parties like the AfD and extreme pro-Putin left-wing politicians like Wagenknecht or parties like Smer to parrot their narrative. They also talked about deeper involving conservative and liberal parties since they "havent tapped into that potential nearly enough yet".
So that is just part of their strategy. Its also working. But it seems like it doesnt work good enough. Hopefull it wont. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |

Trump let thousands of Taliban prisoners go in exchange for nothing, and it took a few days for them to take control of Afghanistan. He didn't even negotiate with the Afghan government, just the Taliban.
