Just a small "limited operation" as was promised by Joe Biden.

It's not really up to Joe Biden though at the end of the day

He gave them the weapons and is STILL giving them weapons today knowing exactly how they're being used. "We're trying to hard to stop this" while handing them the bombs they need to continue uninterrupted.

Without supporting any kind of violence. And without denying anything.

I feel obligated to say that this is purposely manipulated. As pictures taken in very different times of day and year make for a faulty comparison that does not portrait reallity.

Specially the time of day (that make shadows disappear on the right picture) and the sandy surfaces make it seems like the image on the right it's all flat and that buildings are leveled to the ground. And that's simply not true. It's just optical illusions.

This does not mean that the areas was not subjected to heavy bombardment, and that all people on that area may have been killed by bombs. But the images presented are just manipulative and I'm against media manipulation no matter how good intentions are behind the manipulative attempt.

The fact that this has as many downvotes as upvotes makes me want to avoid anything political on lemmy, and go back to just shitposting about Linux distros.

seriously, what was HAMAS' end-game here?

surely they knew that they couldn't defend Gaza against Israel?

Did they miscalculate the risk and think Israel wouldn't react?

What I find laughable are all the Americans who I watched demand the deaths of Muslims and Arabs from decades, suddenly want to play the moral paragons and defenders of Palestine. Americans fucked my country too and they just move on to the next outrage, without apologizing, making amends or anything. They wreck half the world, then turn around and moralize to us.
