Israeli forces discovered the bodies of six hostages in a 65-foot-deep tunnel in Rafah, approximately a kilometer from where hostage Farhan Alkadi was recently freed. The IDF had no precise intelligence on the hostages’ location in recent months but knew there were captives in the sector, leading to a gradual and cautious operation in Rafah since the ground offensive began.

    You could say the same about the IRA. And people did. It was tedious and irrelevant then, too Look, you’re entitled to your opinion. Let’s agree to disagree

      Fair enough. History will judge.

      E: Actually no it’s not fair enough. Did the IRA not have a specter of legitimacy? I’m judging them both by how they treated their own people, and innocent people. I would likely give Palestine a pass for killing their oppressors if I thought that’s what they were doing. Again, go over there and talk about women’s rights for democratic values, and see if you don’t get stoned to death for being an infidel. The IRA were at least decent people, morally defensible.
