Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

So it could have been done that fast. Makes you wonder what they were waiting for when people were starving. Maybe they weren't polling as bad
Well, you can't change the past. So here we are in the present.
That's a bizarre thing to say. We shouldn't just move on from the fact it took months to get something like this done. Shouldn't just brush away incompetence or malicious compliance because "well that's behind us now."
Its almost like there is a narrative being pushed on lemmy that hamas is innocent in all of this and Israel is the only aggressor and responsible for everything. Like nearly every article posted and upvoted is from a pro-palestine source and everything calling for better reporting is downvoted or blocked. That the commonly referenced ICJ article called on both sides to act according to humanitarian grounds but it got reduced to "Israel genocide".
Almost like aid convoys were being restricted as aid was being stolen from their own civilians to be used by armed forces, and Hamas was showing off their anti Air weaponry that would be perfect for bringing down a slow moving cargo plane at low altitude, and pushing them out of areas was needed.
But that's all in the past now and clearly everything that happened was Israel fault, no need to look into that.
Okay, what is the appropriate response for civilians facing overwhelming oppression? History has shown us that it's civil unrest gradually moving into radical groups that use violence. Hamas is the result of Israel's actions no different than some would say Antifa is the result of America's systematic racism.
Israel is the sole cause of the conflict. That is not a debate, not a question, not a suggestion, it's historical record and I encourage you to look into it in your free time.
"Better reporting" isn't possible you dense motherfucker because Israel keeps killing the reporters. People like you are so indescribably dense that you're not even fucking worth talking to. Begone to the shadow realm you IDF goon.
It isn't clear that Palestinians even support Hamas. Considering protests have been repressed and there haven't been elections, I don't think it's fair to tie the civilians and Hamas together.
And what are we supposed to do about it other than complain that it should have been done sooner? What's the point? You can't accept that it's being done now? Do you prefer it be done later?
"What's the point? We only fucked up constantly, we shouldn't dwell on it." To fucking not let it happen in the future? To account for this massive fuck up and make common sense changes? To learn and reflect?? Fundamental concepts for growth? Fucking hell.
King Abdullah stated he wanted to do it some weeks ago, but Hamas then released video of their SAM-7and Soviet-era Strela-2 IR launchers.
Why is this downvoted?
Because people chose sides and now seem to think Hamas are the good guys. Which is funny.
