No not at all. Israel is trying to eliminate the security threat of Hamas. Israel is protecting themselves from further attacks. There is no Israeli intent to harm civilians.
Something doesn't need an intent or punishment to be learned from. If you speed a car and crash into a tree while going around a tight bend, the tree was not punishing you. The tree had no intent. But you will still learn about the consequences of your actions from speeding. Gazans elected Hamas into power and support hamas. Those decisions to support hamas have led to consequential events for Gazans. They can learn from that, the lesson being don't vote for bad leadership who start wars. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
Either you believe the civilian population deserved it, or you believe indiscriminate attacks against civilians is wrong. You can't have it both ways. If you believe attacking civilians indiscriminately is wrong, then what you said about supporting Hamas was irrelevant. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
Yeah, you can win any argument if you change someones words in a way that totally ignores what they said. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
They found many tunnels into Egypt. I’d bet he’s there holed up with hostages. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
I don't think you know what indiscriminate is. Artillery barrages are indescriminate. IDF uses air guided missiles and bombs that are aimed at a military target. The military targets have civilians in them because that's Hamas modus operandi. It's legal to attack military targets that have civilians inside them. It's collateral damage. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
You know, fewer than one person per bomb (if true) actually proves the opposite of what the IDF has claimed, that their attacks are always carried out with precision. Fewer than one person per bomb means many bombs did not hit their marks. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
Or maybe watching your family and friends get blown up radicalises you. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
A poll is only as good as the sample you get. If you're polling in an area ruled by a murderous terrorist dictatorship which has shown glee in torturing and killing anyone (and their family) who opposes them, one shouldn't be surprised when support is shown to that regime. To put it another way, if I were living under a terrorist authoritarian regime I would lie to anyone coming to my door about my actual feelings for the regime because I can do more to oppose that regime as a living, free man than dying for the truth. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
Because it will be terrible for the government in domestic politics. Every soldier that dies is a war hero. Every hostage that dies is one less justification for the war. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
Oh I see, technically yes with that frame of thought. Further shows how illogical dehumanization is | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
You could, I don't know, actually look it up for yourself? Half the problem is idiots are all over social media repeating shit they saw other people say or even thinking that the thing their corner of the internet is arguing about is an actual reflection of the most important topic in real life. The world is your oyster. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
The refusal to accept that you've lost. Japan and Germany were forced to accept they lost. The Confederates and Taliban never accepted anything close to "we lost." | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |

That's not how urls work, and stuff can get re reported in international media as well. Either way, i24 is an Israel based news company... | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
A better comparison is what the US did to Al-Qaeda. The US went ballistic on Al-Qaeda after 9/11 and slaughtered or renditioned them anywhere they could be found. Today Al-Qaeda is functionally extinct and their neutered leadership is hiding in Iran. That is what I believe Israel has planned for Hamas. As soon as open warfare ends the hunter killer phase will begin. Hamas will find very few safe places to hide and definitely not in Gaza.
The US didn’t chase the Taliban into Pakistan and the Taliban waited patiently for 20 years until the Americans left to reclaim Afghanistan. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |

BRICS is an economic term that somehow got weaponized into a loose economic forum by those countries.
The reality is those countries have competing interests. They're not allies.
India would rather off itself than be allied with china. They have an active trade war with them and border dispute. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |

The US has been causing global conflicts since WW2. And everytime there is an election there is a crisis. Such a beutifull country but ruled by corporations and weapons sales. Unfortunately. Oligarchs is not only a Russian thing you know? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |

Russian pipeline through Ukraine....still operational.
The deal dates back to 2019, when Russia and Ukraine signed an 5 year agreement to let Moscow's state energy firm Gazprom export supplies to the EU via pipelines running through the country, stil now the providing LNG for Slovakia, Austria,..
Wondering if the agreement will be extended in 2025 🙄 | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-17-06 |

They weren’t forced out. Israel’s Declaration of Independence offered “complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants”. They could have stayed, but instead they chose to fight, and they lost. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |

True, but i think it qualifies as an ME country. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
Nobody in the history of the world has called someone who is prejudiced against Arabs as an anti-Semite…
But if you’re gonna start that nonsense then tell us what word we should call people who hate Jews and we’ll use that. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
This is a country that literally requires all citizens to be Sunni Muslims:
>The 2008 Constitution of Maldives designates Sunni Islam as the state religion. Only Sunni Muslims are allowed to hold citizenship in the country and citizens may practice Sunni Islam only. Non-Muslim citizens of other nations can practice their faith only in private and are barred from evangelizing or propagating their faith. All residents are required to teach their children the Muslim faith. The president, ministers, parliamentarians, and chiefs of the atolls are required to be Sunni Muslims. Government regulations are based on Islamic law.

What a childish argument. Starfish aren't scientifcally fish, we all agree that "Starfish" refers to that animal though, so that's what it is. Definitions are made by humans, antisemitic means hatred/prejudice towards jews, don't try to rewrite definitions with centuries of history, oppresion, and massacres behind them just because they don't mesh with your political opinions. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
Pretty fascinating.
Been diving into a few articles. Starting in and around 48’ it appears each of the successive conflicts between Israel and Palestine coincided with increasing pressure against Jews in the ME.
Kind of an odd phenomenon if you think about it. Israel establishes a homeland for Jews and in turn that same action forces other Jews out of their homelands. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
Yeah that's the idea. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
I mean blatant and overt antisemitism has been a staple of Muslim countries for a long time. There’s a reason there are virtually no Jews anywhere else in the Middle East outside of Israel, and many of them did not go willingly. Yet the Muslim population in both Israel and Palestine has done nothing but grow. Funny how that works. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
What's their stance on gay folks? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |

There are probably more people living in countries that have governments that enact apartheid to some degree (can be as simple as making everyone specific religion when they apply for passport to outright putting people in camps based on their ideology) than those who do not. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
But were they allowed passports to leave and enter other countries? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
That's why I always recommend those who want to go to a tropical paradise to choose French Polynesia (Bora Bora) over Maldives. Also having mountains is cooler. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
Did those legal discriminations include passports being issued though? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
It's about making people think you're hurting jews. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
That's also not 100% true. There are Israeli Arabs that refer to themselves as Palestinians, but there are a majority of Israeli Arabs who do not refer to themselves as Palestinians (depending on how you consider Druze, Beduiin, and how they define Palestinians - as a separate identity than Israeli Arabs, or just meaning Arabs that lived in the area). As most things it is very nuanced. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
Well probably because most countries are pretty lax on those laws.
I was in Java/Indonesia and morocco which are both islamic countries/regions but they seemed fine other than the ceremonies in the middle of night.
...at least for tourists | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
>yet it seems that many Muslim majority countries are run with a strong Shia predispositions towards how the law is followed through
Globally Islam has always trended toward conservative orthodoxy despite adulation towards liberal muslim governments and bodies. I don't think there is a single islamic government that started liberal and stayed that way, their politics are (always) constrained by what was laid down 1400 yes ago. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
Jesus isn’t allowed in? I thought this was a ban on Jews, not Mexicans (my brother in law is named Hey-seus lol) | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
People who haven't actually read the Bible front to back usually just assume thst everything in the New Testament is Jesus' words.
It's also obvious that most religious people just take whatever their priest/imam/whatever say as gospel and never try to actually read their holy book themselves. Meaning they are now going to blindly believe whatever their priest/imam/whatever believes or wants them to believe.
Tl;dr: they get it from their priest/imam/whatever's teachings. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
The Old Testament doesn't talk about hell. It talks about Gehenna, an actual physical place in modern day Israel where you can go to a day. The ancient Jews thought it was the most cursed place on earth, and having your dead body thrown into that place is equal is the worst fate you could get. (Jews to this day are incredibly concerned with the proper burial of their dead, so being left to decompose in a cursed place is as bad as it gets. This would be Jesus personal understanding of a place of punishment after death)
Hell as the modern Christians understand it is largely from Revelations, (eternal torture with no pardon) the latest section of the bible and by far the most unhinged. It is basically just murder porn fan fiction staring Jesus as a genocidal maniac, written by some early Christian who had been ostracized by his community. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
A free ride when you’re already late? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
I think immediately resorting to 'it was probably aliens' is not necessary if you're already skeptical of major religions, for a few reasons.
1) There's lot of normal phenomena that looks really weird/ optical illusions and so on, that could be construed as miraculous.
2) There's an element of survivorship bias when considering major religions; for those that are the main faiths from antiquity, there's many novel religious cults that didn't survive, and many which emphasised miracles and following a singular figure. The worship of Sol Invictus, favoured by some in the Roman era could've developed into a monotheist faith, the [cult of Pythagoras](https://www.thecollector.com/cult-of-pythagoras/) and more such things I don't have the energy to search up right at the minute.
>Sodom and Gomorrah turned to a pillar of salt? Maybe a nuclear explosion or other similar technology
I saw a documentary exploring possible natural explanations for some of the disasters recorded in the Old Testament, and it was fairly compelling. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |

I had to go read the meaning of consequence. The way you wrote it, it sounds like it's the people's fault. Is that what you mean? Then I went and checked if the word 'consequence' insinuates fault. It doesn't, but one of the synonyms is 'repercussion', which definitely does. Anwaaaayyy | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
Meanwhile, the UN has finally admitted that there's actually plenty of food flowing into Gaza, and we also know we keep finding Hamas stashes of stored aid. Perhaps that aid would be better appreciated by people who actually need it in Sudan? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |

and before you strawman me, i don't think we should be sending aid anywhere if we have trouble supporting our own back home. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |

Pearl Harbor was on anti-submarine and anti-saboteur watch the morning of the attack - USS Ward sank a Japanese submarine near the harbor entrance that morning.
The US government knew Pearl Harbor was likely to be attacked, their planners thought Pearl Harbor was outside the operations range of the Japanese carrier fleet - and they were almost correct. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
Also, of the threats presented. which are the most likely and actionable? They are focusing on attacks on busses or at border crossings, not an all out raid that is unlike other attacks. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |
For the handful of accurate reports we learn about in hindsight, there are thousands of false reports that need to be sifted through.
Sure they got a report about the flight school, but there were also threats of ports being attacked by boat, train derailments, air attacks all around the country,
All of these need to be investigated before the investigators can move on to the next threat report.
It's easy after the fact to say here's the 2 credible threat reports in the pile of thousands, but nobody knows ahead of time which is which. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-18-06 |

It’s really reductionist just to call it an “old policy” when FBI agent [Robert Hanssen](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Hanssen) was just caught in February of 2001 and found to have leaked information to the Soviets for over two decades, including the betrayal of CIA informant Dmitri Polyakov.

Yeah just like we knew that the terrorists wanted to hit the World Trade Center. Since we didn't have specifics on who, how, and with what, it was useless then as it was for Israel on 10/7.
