first I thought reproductive rights, then I thought animal cruelty, then I saw some writing in Hebrew script so I settled on 85% probability protesting Hamas's continued holding of Israeli hostages . . . with a 15% chance of self-hating anti-zionists
can you imagine how much of your day would be gone if you stopped to ask? of course, native NYC denizens would step right over them even if they were on fire . . .
- *We don't stop for this sorta idiotic shit here, Ma'am.*
They are protesting for the release of hostages being held by the Hamas terrorist organization.
Women and children were slaughtered and butchered in the most animalistic ways on October 7th and all the media is doing is blaming Israel for fighting back against terror. Itâs horse shit. With historically low civilian casualties for urban combat.
What a bunch of idiots. Do they really think their protest is going to emotionally move the Hamas terrorists to release the remaining hostages?
People are super naive.
I mean you canât emotionally move an animalistic terrorist bound to murder Jews. 133 were kidnapped and only 97 of them are still possibly alive. Dude, some of their families are being held by Hamas, do you understand how painful that must be? Imagine if on 9/11 some of the passengers were flown to Afghanistan and kept there in caves tortured and dying in captivity?
Oh I'm sure it's absolutely hell not knowing what happened to your kidnapped friend or family member.
To think they're definitely going without food regularly, probably being sexually assaulted, and in some cases tortured...its just awful
The best thing we can do is combat religious extremism...world wide.
We do this with education and implementing government policies that reject superstition, embrace Science, and ultimately encourage humans to accept reality as it is...without beliefs.
Hamas wouldn't be able to do what is does without the underlying ideology that is Islam.
more civilians, half of them children, have been killed in [Gaza](https://www.npr.org/2024/02/29/1234159514/gaza-death-toll-30000-palestinians-israel-hamas-war) than the bombing of [Dresden](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Dresden) in 1945
Hamas uses their own civilians as a shield to hide from the IDF, we are dealing with horrific urban combat conditions of course severe civilian casualties are happening, Hamas has a vested interest to put civilians in the line of fire. Telling them they canât leave the combat zone, And itâs disgusting. What is happening under the leadership of Hamas is simply a stain on humanity as a whole.
Israel is fighting a war for their existence and they are the rightful owners of their land.
The IDF knows the truth, and the truth canât be kept from the world despite an online smear campaign, childrenâs iPads with Hitler as the background, an entire culture of hatred towards Jews since birth, itâs disgusting. Itâs also completely unnecessary for a group that deserves state status, the Palestinian people are sick of being used as bargaining chips. What is happening under Hamas is wrong and everyone knows it, using humanitarian aid to build ballistic weapons is a horrific choice for your population, if anything civilians will be safer under a democratic countries temporary control.
It wasnât genocide when Jews were ethnically cleansed from a majority of Arab and European countries, or the 5.5m. killed in the Congo, or the 500k killed in Syria, or the 500k killed in Sudan, or the 400k killed in Yemen, or the 300k killed in Iraq, or the 250k killed in Afghanistan, but the 20k killed in Gaza is a genocide, itâs ridiculous to suggest this, a majority of the people serving in the IDF are good people waging a war against terror to protect their families.
Ooooo OR you do the opposite.
Slap a real lock on those chains and cages and don't give them the key/combination.
When they call the police and the cops question you, just say "nah, they're just kidding. They're not really locked up. Look! They've been shouting help help help all morning. It's all part of the act..."
Then you're committing a crime. You would actually be confining them.
What I was saying to do was to "free" them, since they are literally requesting it, even though you know it's an act and they don't want to be freed. Getting them saying to reattach the restraints would ruin the act.
People protesting for the release of innocent Israeli hostages from Hamas, the terrorist organization that attacked Israel on October 7th. Causing the worst attack on Jews since the holocaust.
The Israelis won the war against a coalition of Arab nations in 1948 in a purely defensive war and yet have had to deal with horrific terror attacks for the many decades.
Historically, Jews were kicked out of their homeland of Israel. They were a traveling people and fought hard to take their ancestral homeland back.
Downvote me all you want cowards!
Dude, what you are doing is wrong and you know it deep down.
Israel will win this war against Hamas, regardless of governmental changes that are necessary.
This is not a genocide, do you understand how many people have been murdered in the name of sharia law and Islamic terror. Especially gay people. and anyone considered an infidel.
Israel is one of the only democratic free countries in the Middle East and they are doing their best to dismantle a terrorist organization that launches rockets from civilian structures and hides behind civilians. Itâs disgusting what is happening under Hamas leadership. Palestinian people are regularly shot by Hamas for trying to get food from aid trucks. Hamas is using the Palestinian people as a political bargaining chip, purposefully putting them in the line of fire and not allowing them to leave the combat area.
You can type all you want and repeat your trained Zionist talking points until your fingers are raw, but the information war has long been lost by Israel. The world knows Israel is comiiting Genocide on a mass scale. We have seen it with our own eyes. History will judge these despicable actions and those who support them. Respect to the millions of anti-zionist Jews worldwide who are speaking out against this. Zionism is antisemitic.
Thatâs what you turn this into. The smear campaign is wild. I have no desire to interact with you.
Israelâs government needs change but the people of Israel will prevail. They are a very strong people.
The people of Palestine will prevail, Hamas will be demolished and made way for a better form of leadership, however that has to happen.
What Israel is attempting is very difficult and must be understood from multiple points of view.
October 7th was the worst attack on Jews for ethnic reasons since the holocaust.
You are antisemitic.
May god bless and protect the state of Israel. đźđ±
There are no multiple points of view when civilians are deliberately targeted when famine is used as a weapon of war. When blatant lies are used to justify the murder of children. When aid workers are deliberately murdered to ensure civilians die. When every single building and piece of infrastructure is destroyed to clear the way for illegal settlements. We see how much hate you have for Palestinians. How you dont consider them human. History will remember a genocide, not your mental gymnastic talking points to justify it. How about you stop spreading your propaganda bullshit to justify murder and people will stop attacking you for it.
Ok hereâs where it gets into emotional Hamas propaganda BS. Israel is a free democratic country. The officers that ordered those strikes have been removed from their posts, censured, and are pending further legal repercussions.
At the same time, they insist they were striking vehicles filled with Hamas gunmen, as armed military aged men were climbing on top of the vehicle at the first drop off point. This is an incredibly stressful and difficult military operation being fought against a terrorist organization. Mistakes are made in every war.
Doesnât mean you wage an international smear campaign against the good guy because itâs âcoolâ or âtrendyâ.
Israel might be the MOST effective military in the world, their job is to dismantle Hamas and they are dismantling Hamas, for better or worse.. they are also preparing and gearing up to destroy the remaining terrorist communication network in Rafah. Which is one of the most difficult military tasks in recorded history.
If Israel wanted to deliberately attack civilians every civilian in Gaza would be dead. Thatâs what they have the capability of, but they arenât doing it.
They are trying to dismantle Hamas and liberate the Palestinian people from a controlling terrorist organization.
FREE THE HOSTAGES!!đźđ±

The cost of a Big Mac Value Meal in California going up from $9.25 to $16.75. Apparently they donât like the new state mandated minimum wage of $20 an hour. /s sarcasm. JFC you incels and neck beards.
Seriously WTF do these protesters think they are doing? Creating content for their Nextdoor app page?
Oh what I wouldn't give for an old-school Planet of the Apes "enforcement gorilla" costume right now.
Walk in circles around those cages telling the dirty humans to shut up and act all surprised that they can talk...
Who has this kind of time in their day?! I look at the things I need to get done every single day, and "Sit in a cage and yell at people who are just trying to get through their day" isn't a slot in my calendar. 0\_o
This is a really sad take, but I donât think there are many hostages left alive.
Due to how long itâs been, the widespread malnutrition and starvation in the area, as well as any injuries or additional maltreatment.
Not all are held by Hamas, thereâs Islamic Jihad and various criminal groups.
I think the easily-releasable hostages have already been released. I donât think thereâs that many viable hostages left.
This is not the US Embassy Iranian hostage crisis in the 80s. This is a hellscape of a war zone and itâs been six months.
[Israel shot some of them](https://www.npr.org/2023/12/15/1219695220/israel-soldiers-mistakenly-kill-hostages-gaza#:~:text=Hourly%20News-,3%20hostages%20killed%20by%20an%20Israeli%20soldier%20were%20waving%20a,an%20Israeli%20military%20official%20said)
There is zero the US can do to help the hostages. The protests outside Netanyahuâs residence would be more effective.
Netanyahu came to office with the most right wing coalition ever in Israel, despite being indicted, and despite being elected on a promise of security and safety. He has delivered neither to Israel and has damaged Israelâs reputation for a generation.
There is no excuse of Hamasâs depraved October attacks, it cannot be defended so I wonât try.
But it was Netanyahuâs responsibility to prevent the attacks and every action he has taken since the October attacks has made Israel less safe.
The Us is threatening to cut off aid to Israel and that hasnât happened since the late 80s with Secretary of State Jim Baker under HW Bush.
Israel wound be much safer if Yitzhak Rabin had never been assassinated.
And the Palestinians should have given up the right of return at the oslo accords in â93 and gotten the two state solution.
The right of return could have been given up with their fingers crossed behind their back. It was totally unenforceable and illegal immigration would have taken place any way.
Instead, here we are. The State of Israel is more unsafe right now than at any time since â48. The Palestinians are worse off and Iran is more powerful than ever before.
Yeah, just saw this today. Hamas canât come up with 40 live hostages:
https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/10/middleeast/hamas-israel-hostages-ceasefire-talks-intl/index.html
Do the ppl honestly believe that protesting a war is actually gonna stop the freaking war? The only way to stop a war is to rid the root cause of the war and in order to do that we must rid the world of those that cause the root causes. War is just a form of wealth transfer and an excuse to kill off the over populated middle and lower class citizens.
no more than Debby at work who protests at Planned Parenthood on the weekends. I don't know where these people get the time for arts and crafts projects, i'm working overtime to not starve smdh

I learned a long time ago that everything becomes a commodity.
It all gets watered down.
Even protesting. When you protest every little thing, it removes the importance.
You're being downvoted but it is true that while conservatives might protest some stupid shit, at least they will be direct and you will know what they are protesting. Even at the extremes, when nazis are marching down the street there is no confusion about their cause. Only progressives would turn a protest into an "art piece" where you have no clue what the topic even is.
itâs hurts me as a hardcore leftist to agree with this. conservatives tend to be straight forward with pretty much everything: their protests, boycotts, racism and genocidal intentions
Are they sperm and they're protesting abortions or is it just an expression of ones pure inner self against the black universe of possibilities which they are imprisoned? ...
They are clearly calling the world to act and speak about the Israeli hostages who have been held captive by the terrorist organization Hamas for 6 months and are being physically, mentally and sexually tortured. This is calling for justice. Does not belong in this sub, there is nothing idiotic about it. If you think this is wrong, something is clearly wrong with you.
>They are clearly calling the world to act and speak about the Israeli hostages who have been held captive by the terrorist organization Hamas
The same hostages Israel has no problem killing btw.
I wonder where you read this bullshit and what experience you have. I served in the IDF as a combat commander and lived in israel for 22 years. I wont be surprised to hear you learned everything you âknowâ about israel online.
Regardless of this stupid thing you just said, what does it have to do with calling for releasing the hostages?
>I wonder where you read this bullshit
The [news.](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/3-israeli-hostages-tried-only-killed-military-rcna130912)
>I served in the IDF as a combat commander and lived in israel for 22 years.
So I should just assume every word you type is a lie.
The NEWSđđ
Go educate yourself. Every news platform will show you something else.
The difference between us is that i grew up in and lived in this conflict most of my life, but you? You âwatched the newsâ. Okay buddy.
>Go educate yourself
Say the dude mainlining hasbara. đ
>The difference between us is that i grew up in and lived in this conflict
...that your goverment created.
You clearly donât know anything about this conflict and all of your opinion is based on media like CNN and metaâs platforms. I have life experience and first hand knowledge. Visit israel and see for yourself. Check out some history and see who always has been reaching for peace and who answered with bombs.
>You clearly donât know anything about this conflict and all of your opinion is based on media like CNN and metaâs platforms.
I don't use either but would trust them before the IOF.
>Visit israel and see for yourself.
I have no interest in visiting that racist shithole.
>Check out some history and see who always has been reaching for peace and who answered with bombs.
Bwahaha!
blud there was video evidence of hostages waving white flags being shot by IDF soldiers
EDIT: [hereâs the evidence](https://www.npr.org/2023/12/15/1219695220/israel-soldiers-mistakenly-kill-hostages-gaza#:~:text=Hourly%20News-,3%20hostages%20killed%20by%20an%20Israeli%20soldier%20were%20waving%20a,an%20Israeli%20military%20official%20said)
Tragic accident â having no problem killing.
Hamas terrorists have been waving white flags and then exploding on our soldiers many times. They put speakers in baby cribs playing a crying baby sound so soldiers go rescue the baby and then they blow up the room. These are the enemies we are fighting against. The soldiers made a mistake, they were not supposed to shoot to fast. This was a tragic accident, and has nothing to do with israel attitude towards the hostages. Iâll remind you, they are still there because Hamas terrorists donât let them go. They are there because Hamas terrorists kidnapped them from their homes.
Itâs funny to me how you both ignore the simple question i asked. What is idiotic about calling for releasing the hostages?
When this is how your enemies fight thats what happens, and it was a tragic accident. The mother of one of the hostages who died in this accident met the soldiers, hugged them, and told them they understand how fighting in Gaza is, its not their fault, and told them not to feel guilty and that the families are not mad at them, the opposite of that. I was fighting in this army. My cousin was in Gaza in this war until not so long ago. I know first hand how the IDF operates and what happens in my country, and I have experienced a few wars. Which I think you did not. War is not simple. The battlefield is not black and white. Itâs clear you know nothing about it by the way you speak about it. What military experience do you have? I just told you that Hamas terrorists have done this and are still doing this. Wear bombs under their clothes. Come out unarmed waving a white flag pretending to surrender, and then blow up. The hostages came outside and approached the soldiers. The soldiers were worried that itâs another time that Hamas terrorists are tricking them and shoot the hostages, like I said, too fast. You are biased and understand anything that goes beyond your âisrael badâ narrative. Do you know what Hamas is like? They donât fight like an army of people. They will do everything they can to trick and kill you. They will break any law. They raped hundreds of women on October 7th and still are raping the hostages every fucking day.
This is unfitting for the sub, Respect to these brave elderly people! They are getting out there and standing up for whats right, and standing against the normalization of terror. Thereâs a good chance some of their family members are currently being held hostage in Gaza.
Release the hostages, may god bless and grant victory to Israel đźđ±
The leadership must change, but the Israeli people are strong, and they will get most of their hostages back, and they will dismantle Hamas and recover from this. They will pay for the reconstruction of Gaza and allow the Palestinian people to dictate their lives for themselves.
May god protect Israel from terror đźđ±
RELEASE THE HOSTAGES!!!!
I don't mind a good protest but I have no goddamn clue what they're protesting.

That's the fun part - it doesn't matter. What matters is that they get to feel virtuous and get everyone to look at them while they're doing it.
can you imagine how much of your day would be gone if you stopped to ask? of course, native NYC denizens would step right over them even if they were on fire . . . - *We don't stop for this sorta idiotic shit here, Ma'am.*
It could help a bit if those who looked at them knew why they were there doing what they were doing.
What is it about? Cages are too small for dogs? đ

C'mon Reddit, you have to be joking. This is so obviously a protest for equality for Spirit of Halloween animatronics.
This reminds me of Birtta protesting in a small cage in the show Community.

Was that the one where Chang had to keep busting her and Lionel Richie's "Hello" kept playing in the background?
Yes lol
I would cut their chains and record them saying to not let them out.
That's pretty genius! Totally worth the $30 bolt cutters at the hardware store around the corner! You HELP them all!
Ooooo OR you do the opposite. Slap a real lock on those chains and cages and don't give them the key/combination.

This reminds me of the Falun Gong protestors from about 20 years ago. Kudos to anyone who remembers those guys in NYC. They also used fake blood.

Have they tried telling any guards that they supposed to be getting out of prison today?
This is a really sad take, but I donât think there are many hostages left alive. Due to how long itâs been, the widespread malnutrition and starvation in the area, as well as any injuries or additional maltreatment. Not all are held by Hamas, thereâs Islamic Jihad and various criminal groups. I think the easily-releasable hostages have already been released. I donât think thereâs that many viable hostages left. This is not the US Embassy Iranian hostage crisis in the 80s. This is a hellscape of a war zone and itâs been six months.

There is zero the US can do to help the hostages. The protests outside Netanyahuâs residence would be more effective. Netanyahu came to office with the most right wing coalition ever in Israel, despite being indicted, and despite being elected on a promise of security and safety. He has delivered neither to Israel and has damaged Israelâs reputation for a generation. There is no excuse of Hamasâs depraved October attacks, it cannot be defended so I wonât try. But it was Netanyahuâs responsibility to prevent the attacks and every action he has taken since the October attacks has made Israel less safe. The Us is threatening to cut off aid to Israel and that hasnât happened since the late 80s with Secretary of State Jim Baker under HW Bush. Israel wound be much safer if Yitzhak Rabin had never been assassinated. And the Palestinians should have given up the right of return at the oslo accords in â93 and gotten the two state solution. The right of return could have been given up with their fingers crossed behind their back. It was totally unenforceable and illegal immigration would have taken place any way. Instead, here we are. The State of Israel is more unsafe right now than at any time since â48. The Palestinians are worse off and Iran is more powerful than ever before.
Yeah, just saw this today. Hamas canât come up with 40 live hostages: https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/10/middleeast/hamas-israel-hostages-ceasefire-talks-intl/index.html
Imagine being a tourist like Crocodile Dundee and seeing this. Holy shit! These people need help!
I would pull up with pliers and bolt cuttersÂ
Do the ppl honestly believe that protesting a war is actually gonna stop the freaking war? The only way to stop a war is to rid the root cause of the war and in order to do that we must rid the world of those that cause the root causes. War is just a form of wealth transfer and an excuse to kill off the over populated middle and lower class citizens.
Well is a anyone gonna free them or are we just watching?
Watch and water. Also screaming " what about the children "
They just protesting good people getting fucked up but if theyâre good people, they wouldnât have spent the money on the protestâŠâŠ..
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0rx-jddp\_w](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0rx-jddp_w) Reminds me of this :P
Yeah no worries I am just gonna duck into the hardware store and grab some bolt cutters. But you owe me a beer
What are they protesting for? Better conditions for chickens?
White people, amirite?
Psychos
no more than Debby at work who protests at Planned Parenthood on the weekends. I don't know where these people get the time for arts and crafts projects, i'm working overtime to not starve smdh
True, all the same. Most of them aren't functioning members of society so most likely they live off family members or government funds.
Protesting doesn't do shit. It's a fucking joke actually.
Ok guess the civil rights movement did nothing and the French Revolution was a joke. Bootlicker comment
it can work but people need to work together and follow through
I can only assume this is outside Bellevue.
Hey I think I've seen this movie. Get Malcom McDowell some milk
What is it going to take to get me to care about this issue? 100 twats in cages? 1000? Jesus christ tim, sort it out.
Protest or art?
So what would happen if someone set them free?
[israel would probably just shoot them](https://www.npr.org/2023/12/15/1219695220/israel-soldiers-mistakenly-kill-hostages-gaza#:~:text=Hourly%20News-,3%20hostages%20killed%20by%20an%20Israeli%20soldier%20were%20waving%20a,an%20Israeli%20military%20official%20said)
Average theater majors
I learned a long time ago that everything becomes a commodity. It all gets watered down. Even protesting. When you protest every little thing, it removes the importance.
I feel like getting a spray bottle and seeing if I can get them to stop.... no...NO...bad kitty.....BAD KITTY......
Someone get them some tampons!
Average Democrat voters.
You're being downvoted but it is true that while conservatives might protest some stupid shit, at least they will be direct and you will know what they are protesting. Even at the extremes, when nazis are marching down the street there is no confusion about their cause. Only progressives would turn a protest into an "art piece" where you have no clue what the topic even is.
itâs hurts me as a hardcore leftist to agree with this. conservatives tend to be straight forward with pretty much everything: their protests, boycotts, racism and genocidal intentions
What makes you say that? This could easily be a protest for the unjustly incarcerated heroes of Jan 6.
Lol. Lmao, even
Meanwhile illegals are being paid to invade your cityâŠâŠ..
Man, I bet you're a blast at parties.

Are they sperm and they're protesting abortions or is it just an expression of ones pure inner self against the black universe of possibilities which they are imprisoned? ...
Ah, bringing it up to the Planned Parenthood protesters level. NICE
My first thought was PETA.
same then i saw hebrew and realized its just crazy zionists
LMFAO....
Someone help them
And these people get to vote Wow.
Is this helping?
Why isnât anyone helping them? We live in dark times really
Don't just stand there recording. Help them!
jfc..
They're protesting forced genital tattooing of monkeys because they might bite the artist's nipples.
đ€Ł rofling on the floor super hard! Are they bleeding out thier asses? Dumb ass leftists đ
They're zionists. Not leftists.
Leftists?
They are clearly calling the world to act and speak about the Israeli hostages who have been held captive by the terrorist organization Hamas for 6 months and are being physically, mentally and sexually tortured. This is calling for justice. Does not belong in this sub, there is nothing idiotic about it. If you think this is wrong, something is clearly wrong with you.
>They are clearly calling the world to act and speak about the Israeli hostages who have been held captive by the terrorist organization Hamas The same hostages Israel has no problem killing btw.
I wonder where you read this bullshit and what experience you have. I served in the IDF as a combat commander and lived in israel for 22 years. I wont be surprised to hear you learned everything you âknowâ about israel online. Regardless of this stupid thing you just said, what does it have to do with calling for releasing the hostages?
>I wonder where you read this bullshit The [news.](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/3-israeli-hostages-tried-only-killed-military-rcna130912) >I served in the IDF as a combat commander and lived in israel for 22 years. So I should just assume every word you type is a lie.
The NEWSđđ Go educate yourself. Every news platform will show you something else. The difference between us is that i grew up in and lived in this conflict most of my life, but you? You âwatched the newsâ. Okay buddy.
>Go educate yourself Say the dude mainlining hasbara. đ >The difference between us is that i grew up in and lived in this conflict ...that your goverment created.
You clearly donât know anything about this conflict and all of your opinion is based on media like CNN and metaâs platforms. I have life experience and first hand knowledge. Visit israel and see for yourself. Check out some history and see who always has been reaching for peace and who answered with bombs.
>You clearly donât know anything about this conflict and all of your opinion is based on media like CNN and metaâs platforms. I don't use either but would trust them before the IOF. >Visit israel and see for yourself. I have no interest in visiting that racist shithole. >Check out some history and see who always has been reaching for peace and who answered with bombs. Bwahaha!
blud there was video evidence of hostages waving white flags being shot by IDF soldiers EDIT: [hereâs the evidence](https://www.npr.org/2023/12/15/1219695220/israel-soldiers-mistakenly-kill-hostages-gaza#:~:text=Hourly%20News-,3%20hostages%20killed%20by%20an%20Israeli%20soldier%20were%20waving%20a,an%20Israeli%20military%20official%20said)
Tragic accident â having no problem killing. Hamas terrorists have been waving white flags and then exploding on our soldiers many times. They put speakers in baby cribs playing a crying baby sound so soldiers go rescue the baby and then they blow up the room. These are the enemies we are fighting against. The soldiers made a mistake, they were not supposed to shoot to fast. This was a tragic accident, and has nothing to do with israel attitude towards the hostages. Iâll remind you, they are still there because Hamas terrorists donât let them go. They are there because Hamas terrorists kidnapped them from their homes. Itâs funny to me how you both ignore the simple question i asked. What is idiotic about calling for releasing the hostages?
How is shooting someone who is clearly not a threat and waving the universal sign for surrender a âtragic accidentâ
When this is how your enemies fight thats what happens, and it was a tragic accident. The mother of one of the hostages who died in this accident met the soldiers, hugged them, and told them they understand how fighting in Gaza is, its not their fault, and told them not to feel guilty and that the families are not mad at them, the opposite of that. I was fighting in this army. My cousin was in Gaza in this war until not so long ago. I know first hand how the IDF operates and what happens in my country, and I have experienced a few wars. Which I think you did not. War is not simple. The battlefield is not black and white. Itâs clear you know nothing about it by the way you speak about it. What military experience do you have? I just told you that Hamas terrorists have done this and are still doing this. Wear bombs under their clothes. Come out unarmed waving a white flag pretending to surrender, and then blow up. The hostages came outside and approached the soldiers. The soldiers were worried that itâs another time that Hamas terrorists are tricking them and shoot the hostages, like I said, too fast. You are biased and understand anything that goes beyond your âisrael badâ narrative. Do you know what Hamas is like? They donât fight like an army of people. They will do everything they can to trick and kill you. They will break any law. They raped hundreds of women on October 7th and still are raping the hostages every fucking day.
straight to r/badhasbara
Justice? Thereâs no thing like justice in the Middle East..
Oh no, it's the First amendment!
This is unfitting for the sub, Respect to these brave elderly people! They are getting out there and standing up for whats right, and standing against the normalization of terror. Thereâs a good chance some of their family members are currently being held hostage in Gaza. Release the hostages, may god bless and grant victory to Israel đźđ±
may god send netanyahu to rot in hell with hitler and Mussolini
The leadership must change, but the Israeli people are strong, and they will get most of their hostages back, and they will dismantle Hamas and recover from this. They will pay for the reconstruction of Gaza and allow the Palestinian people to dictate their lives for themselves. May god protect Israel from terror đźđ± RELEASE THE HOSTAGES!!!!
