A woman being raped doesn't mean she can't go home. This is weird phrasing. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
As a liberal myself, it’s sad to see so many fall in line with such a religious conservative movement. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
/u/DoctorOblivious answer the damn question | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
He's only a moron if you assume his goal is to not do those things and to expedite a victory for Israel. Right now that isn't the case. The outcome of the war is secondary to the election for him and a non insignificant amount of his party are vocally anti Israel. All of his actions you think are dumb for hindering the war effort are an intentional effort to keep both sides just satisfied enough to vote for him and politically is 100% and understandable and reasonable move in that regard. I understand it sucks for Israel to be treated as a political pawn in an election a world away, but that's both the reality of politics and the cost of taking in all that American aid. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
Hamas wants the war to continue, though, so this is the opposite of an incentive for them to return the hostages. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
At least you know where they are and that they wouldn't be being tortured. Easy for israel to release the ones that don't pose a threat. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
So if the hostages are returned will only then Israel end the war or will something or some reason somehow justify them from continue it? I think I’ll be around here when it’s the latter because I know for a fact tons of people here will justify it. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |

So he's perfectly fine with the destruction of one of the US' closest allies if he means he can get a few more votes in Michigan? So he's not a moron, he's a morally bankrupt traitor? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |

Sounds fair to me considering the evil vile things Palestine committed | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
Yeah but in their mind they think the IDF should be able to snap their fingers and just eliminate Hamas, civilian death free. It's a fantasy world that comes from them living in privilege. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
Wait, Hamas offered to release the hostages several times to end the fighting. Why didn't Israel accept that? I'm not being snarky, or taking the piss. I'm actually asking why didn't they accept the offers, some that were sponsored/endorsed by the US? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
No it's not, in comparison to nearly all wars. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
Guantanamo Bay. By the way administrative detention is practiced when an individual has not yet committed a crime but the state has sensitive intelligence indicating they are actively involved in terrorist activity. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
If you think Biden shouldn't go out in public and condemn attacking hospitals and aid workers, you're out of your mind. He can't just ignore it happened when reporters ask him. After investigation is concluded and he has the findings on why it wasn't intentional or didn't even happen in the first place he doesn't bring it up again. And I don't blame Biden for bringing up Israel's lacking aid and evacuation plans - he's not wrong, we can do better.
Biden has never went out in public and condemned Israel for just having the war in general. He's been for Israel aid from the beginning. The reason he became VP in the first place is that he was an expert in foreign policy and it shows - he acts like Hamas are the terrorists they are. He never actually made Rafah a red line like his party asked him to. He was one of the first to blame the hospital "bombing" on Palestinians well before most news retracted the claims.
And go outside tomorrow in our insane heat wave and tell me that climate change doesn't matter. Republicans actively tear down regulation that's supposed to help the planet, even old ones that have nothing to do with recent Democrat corrections. Climate catastrophes are already happening and will get worse, but we don't need to go extinct as a species. That bit is still avoidable.
Plus the idea that we'll be in better shape regards to the war with Netanyahu and Ben-Gvir being given carte blanche by Trump to do whatever they want? Those idiots need someone to hold them back. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
I agree that this was probably the intent, but women have already reported their captors raped them while they were hostage in Gaza. People who want to listen, listen. Many have refused to do so. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
Worked out in the Old Testament - "let our people go". Lol. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
Israel absolutely holds people without charge, including women and children. Someone has been misinforming you or else you’re being intentionally obtuse.
Look at IDF soldiers in the West Bank when settlers attack people in their homes. Or how they’ve shot people through the fence in Gaza. Why would you assume it’s a stretch they’d detain innocents when there’s so much documented evidence of them violently abusing them? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
He withheld aid for months, spread Palestinian narratives ('Hamas doesn't represent the overwhelming majority of Palestinians,' 'Israel is bombing indiscriminately,' 'Israel needs to send more aid (even while it was sending way more than pre-war),' pushed for a ceasefire that is inherently very bad for Israel by letting Hamas rearm, but continued pushing for it even after it became clear Hamas is just using it to stall and caused delays of several months alongside the fearmongering around Rafah which proved very hollow once Israel actually went in and evacuated a million in 2 weeks when a week prior Biden was saying it'll be a humanitarian disaster.
Israel went in, by the way, following a failed negotiation during which Israel made insane concessions 'to encourage Hamas to participate in negotiations,' that complicated the war like withdrawing IDF troops from a lot of areas without going into Rafah which allowed Hamas to go out of Rafah and into those areas and retake them.
He's straining Israeli reservists by prolonging the war, making destabilizing comments about the Israeli government and strategy for the war ('they dont have a day after plan' when the day after plan was clearly stated repeatedly to be military control of the strip, so its just a plan he doesn't like), literally told us at the beginning of the war that the borders with Gaza should look the same at the end which reassures Hamas and Gazans they have nothing to lose and should just keep hiding underground or firing from population centers for as long as they can as international pressure and internal strain and political conflicts mount up.
There's frankly a lot more so if this isn't satisfactory I'll keep going, but I think ti should be more than enough personally. I don't think people overseas really understand the cost of these delays and the strain it puts people under and the internal politics. And he still pushes for a surrender deal that would leave Hamas in power because he wants the war to be over before the elections. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
Antisemitism is an aspect for some but I think it’s a bit ridiculous to conflate being super ignorant or delusional about the true nature of Hamas and the conflict in general w antisemitism.
For many it’s antizionism. The people out protesting and making a ruckus (the ignorant ones not those instigating it) most often don’t call for the destruction of Jews or Israel, but they view Hamas and the conflict in general through an obviously distorted lense.
As a Jewish person I think it’s important to reserve that word for when it’s actually occurring. It’s fine to think antizionism is bigoted as well, but they are two different things. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
Horseshoe theory my friend. Both vocally extreme sides of the political spectrum are located right next to each other in terms of behavior and critical thinking. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
Israel has said they will not end the war with the return of the hostages repeatedly. Anyone who argues the release of the hostages will end all of this is just ignoring what Israel has explicitly stated. Their goal is to wipe out Hamas completely, whether or not the hostages are returned will not change this. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
They rescued four hostages like a week ago. So yeah, there are almost assuredly living hostages. It’s pure speculation but I’d guess 75-ish, give or take | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
Nor does it stop Hamas from murdering women and children. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
Walking into a refugee camp, aiming a gun at a child and firing is not an example of collateral damage.
You support child murder. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
Israel is a liberal western democracy. It doesn’t have to be located in the western hemisphere to be considered a western country.
Would you believe that Australia is considered part of the west even though it’s located in the Pacific? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
Nope. So pretending that only one side is bad will get us nowhere. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |

The discourse for this round of this long going conflict is that dumb yes. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
Considered by who lmao. Its called the anglosphere, buddyy | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
I’m not saying that no one who appears to be a civilian could be sheltering a hostage - that would obviously be a ridiculous thing to believe. I’m aware of the recent hostage rescue op, I think everyone is. What I’m saying is that tying these actions and responsibilities to the civilian population as a collective makes no sense.
I don’t tie Bibi’s actions to every individual Israeli because that would be insane, and doing so would make me hate any one of those Israelis. Making that sort of instant leap between a population of millions and individual actors within it is fundamentally dehumanizing.
If you want to argue that all of Gaza is guilty by association, then do that. If you don’t, that’s incompatible with this approach to a civilian population. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
Sorry IDF killed the journalists too. I guess the kids got holes in their heads a different way 🙄 | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |

How do you determine if a behaviour is motivated by antisemitism? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
2014 March of return. Over 2000 Palestinians dead.
« During the 50 days of hostilities lasting from 8 July until 26 August 2014, 2,251 Palestinians were killed; 1,462 of them are believed to be civilians, including 551 children and 299 women. »
This started before October 7th | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
The sad sad truth about this whole ordeal is that Hamas is just another in a long line of groups doing this.
When the British mandate ended Israel already had a government set up and ready to go.
Palestine? Same story, however it was entirely funded by surrounding Arab nations that saw Palestinians as little more than pawns to be used to resist western influence and Israeli power in the region.
The Palestinian people have been been screwed for almost 100 years. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
That's because it's being endlessly pushed online by the usual suspects on the usual p2p channels (tok)
Get your friends to stop consuming tiktoks as facts (I know this is hard) | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
I feel like if you asked one of them “should the war ending include the return of the hostages, or is it ok for Hamas to keep them?” …they’d say the former. So basically they agree with Israel, and simply haven’t thought their position through. They imagine Israel has an option to end the war with peace on both sides, and inexplicably is choosing not to take it. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
Yea that’s a fair point, but what if that can’t do even that? What if some bodies are buried under the rubble, and similar.
I think it’s naive to believe that 100% of the hostages can be retrieved (dead or alive). The question then is what’s the fallback plan? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
So what is stopping people who do know where those hostages are from turning them over? If not directly to Israel in fear of retribution from either side, then at least to Hamas to be used as bargaining chips (still terrible but at least they'll be accounted for and hopefully returned, a better alternative than simply never being seen again). People don't just vanish into thin air - if Hamas isn't holding these hostages, someone else is and if that someone has at least one functioning eye or ear they know that Israel will not stop until their hostages are returned. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
Problem is - if IDF destroys Hamas, saves their hostages, retreats a builds even bigger wall and just seats there - 5-10 years from now new generation of hostile and radicalized Gaza population will grow up and repeat Oct. 7.
Israel was probably putting hopes, that Egypt would just let Palestinians in, pressured by US, but this didn't work out and now we have this wierd stalemate.
Until question of - who's gonna govern Gaza, legal status of both Gaza and West Bank is not resolved - doesn't matter how many terrorists they kill | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
I was literally just asking a question, but I guess that's not allowed here. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
See, you got the version of this position I can respect (and tend to agree with):
>**Until question of - who's gonna govern Gaza, legal status of both Gaza and West Bank is not resolved** - doesn't matter how many terrorists they kill
instead of the dumb "You can't defeat an idea with guns and terror groups who rule as governments with tunnels and weapon labs and guns and rockets and drones and bombs and a command structure and a TV channel are just an idea". | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |
You support them being confined in a tiny densely populated warzone because apparently letting people leave a warzone is 'ethnic cleansing' but you're fine with them dying en masse due to being in those circumstances for your ideology? that's your right, but dont' pretend to care about them. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |

Don't forget that he has facilitated funding Hamas for years. He wants a long protracted conflict to keep himself in power. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
I'm in the same boat. Hamas is evil and needs to be destroyed, but part of Hamas' strategy is to put the Palestinians between them and Israel. Israel can't just let that strategy outright work, or it will keep working. However, Netanyahu needs to be doing a much as possible to getting aid to the Palestinians that need it.
Tactical pauses along specified routes to keep aid workers safe is not too much to ask. It's pretty clear to me that the only reason we are seeing any restraint from Netanyahu at all is because of American pressure, and that is not a good reflection on Netanyahu.
I hope that this situation can see its way clear to a 2 state solution that doesn't involve Hamas, but Netanyahu is not acting in a way that leads me to believe he will allow it. Getting Hamas needs to be a top priority, but that can happen while also providing aid to the civilians caught in the crossfire. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |

They cleared the rental charges but refuse to help with the red light ticket the car got on that previous day/driver. So kinda newsworthy if you’re keeping up with reasons to not like Hertz. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
Rest of the story? It clearly says that Hertz was not going to budge on the red light fine!
> They provided copies of their boarding passes. Hertz agreed with them about the rental start time – they removed the extra day’s charge – but they still refused to budge on the red light ticket (or the extra fees associated the with the extra day – Hertz removed only the base rental charge). And now Hertz has refused to communicate further, it seems | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-16-06 |
