Probably the latter. Almost nothing that sucked today sucked less 20, 40, 60, 80 etc… years ago. They almost universally sucked more. We’re just more aware.

For example, cops have always been beating black people; but that wasn’t common knowledge for most until recently.

Maybe the home of Wall Street, the world’s largest market, isn’t Communist.

Other places are reporting it too. If you have a counter source please post.

I’ve never seen the same from Hamas leadership (and even less from other Palestinian groups - like Fatah and PFLP) that what they want is to either kill or expel all Jews from Palestine…

Have you looked?

This is from just three days ago :

Ghazi Hamad, a member of Hamas’s political bureau, praised the brutal attack the group carried out in Israel on October 7 and said if given the opportunity, they would carry out similar assaults repeatedly in the future with the goal of eliminating Israel, The Times of Israel reported.

And they’ve said similar shit my entire life.

Hamas top leadership is in Quatar. They’re insulated from the society they’ve created.

As many as they can get.

~$1bn/yr worth of genocide.

Their leadership when given the opportunity has consistently clarified that they indeed want genocide.

That’s not refusing negotiations. Hamas wants a ceasefire. Israel wanta it’s hostages. That’s peanutbutter meet jelly. They’re both negotiating they just might not be willing to budge enough to find common ground.

It’s not like Hamas hasn’t been caught using ambulances to smuggle military goods around before.

As many as they’ve been able too. They went from stonings to gunfights to suicide bombers to rocket artillery to paraglider slave raids in my lifetime.

My whole life I’ve seen them dedicate more and more firepower to explicitly killing civilians

Tiny Pizza, Has has had a multi-decades long commitment to genocide. My whole life Hamas has been calling for the murder of every Jew on the planet consistently.

Hamas has had genocide in its charter since it’s establishment.

The last time they traded terrorists for civilians those terrorists were used to conduct a slave raid against their people.

It’s an active warzone.

Ya it’s like they’re using the multiple billions of dollars we’ve invested in spy satellites and other technologies to track people against Hamas or something…

My understanding is that Hamas wants concessions in return for a hostage release. Israel isn’t interested in that.

Likely not. This hospital is pretty near the front lines and Israel claims that the ambulance was being used as a troop transport which was slyly confirmed by a hospital official claiming that it was a miracle that no staff were injured in the attack. That would also explain how Israel could confirm it was being used as a troop transport too.

I’m pretty sure Hamas has flatly denied the possibility of hostage release.

Is it the oppression!

Objectively not. Most of the decision makers for Hamas live comfortably in Quatar.

It’s probably the multi-decades long commitment to genocide.
