The "beheaded babies" story doesn't seem to be accurate per the latest from the IDF (posted it in the other thread). That obviously doesn't mean Hamas hasn't killed babies and it may have been started as an honest mistake rather than an attempt to exaggerate Hamas' atrocities. This kind of shit happens all the time and sometimes it's propaganda and sometimes it's not. But I think it's important to note when stories like that turn out to be inaccurate.

Seemed vaguely familiar with no negative connotations. So, I hit the person's profile and see it's some person who posted once years ago and now just negs people. 

Now for the petty part. I'm going to his five year old post to neg that sorry ass. I think I'm doing mainly because this wad seems like a coward. Anyone wanting to join me is welcome. Or neg me for being a punk.

Stop thinking about what's in it for Hamas.  

Hamas are the pawns, not the player.  The players are Russia, Iran, KSA...and likely China. 

The goal is to destabilize the West.

Wouldn't shock me to see an escalation that involved China invading Taiwan and/or N. Korea going after S. Korea.

The thinner they can spread the US military, the better.  Not to mention the drain on America's financial resources.

I think this is way bigger than Hamas vs Israel.

Russia likely sees some benefit from the distraction and destabilization and is always in a position to try and twist tragedies and conflicts to help them.  They do not have the capability to organize, direct, or even really play a key role in encouraging this to happen and are now just looking to see how to play catchup in their favor.

The PRC doesn’t really have a key interest in destabilization here and this is not along the lines of their usual MO. They do not like conflict and war they can’t control and this is one where they aren’t in the driver’s seat.  That’s reflected in their recent statements to up the condemnation of Hamas. 
 

We need to be careful when drawing dotted lines.

All good posts.  And yes, "there's no bigger strategic thought here, it was just a tantrum by violent and angry fuckers" is a viable hypothesis as well.  My suggestion is only that we don't jump right to that, and dismiss the idea of a purposeful strategy.

And then yeah, layer it on there -- maybe the question isn't "what is Hamas's strategy in doing this?"  Maybe it's "what is Iran and Russia's strategy in manipulating and empowering Hamas to do this?"  Look at the chess board from every angle, including trying to identify the hands moving the pieces.

But yeah....history has turned on plenty of utterly irrational, emotional/petulant pivot points.  That may be the case here.

I don't think angry fuckers theory holds much water. Yes that's their method, but they need money and they need support when the region is more destabilized, and frankly they probably need permission. Now they may not get support or money, but they want it and they can't have it acting unilaterally.

I fully believe that Russia/Iran and a lose but viable connection to China is in play. Hamas is part of this much like Wagner is a part of Russia but Hamas is the weakest party there and connected only really to Iran. I think Hamas leadership wants power and money, or maybe money and power but the only place at the table for them, whether they like it or not is as the terrorist organization that does Iran's bidding versus Israel.

All three make logical bedfellows, even though China is a bit more outside the circle of the other two. All three hate a neighbor or want its territory, Russia and Iran supply China with natural resources, China buys natural resources, so trade is a significant tie. Two are being destroyed by the blunt force trauma of US-led sanctions, enforced by the weaponized American economic system (most banks run through a US / European sponsored system). All three want (for different reasons) the American domination of warfare and the global economy to end. Iran may hate Israel for religious reasons, China Taiwan for economic and pride reasons and Russia eastern Europe for pride, resources and glory but they all are willing to take it by force if given the chance. There are simply too many shared values, shared goals and parallel goals for this to all be unilateral action that isn't interconnected.  Yeah, maybe China isn't gun-ho on it but they will tolerate it if they get cheaper oil outside the dollar system and support for their world view re Taiwan.  Same shit with their view on Ukraine - yeah they want the war over but they aren't doing anything about it - they take a not my problem approach. In the end if China were to get what China wants, it will have to tolerate the radical extremism of both Russia and Iran (Hamas) even if its just to have a viable stream of oil outside the US dollar system.

So I don't really support the lone gunman theory. I get China may be a little on the outs but I don't think their relationship with either Iran or Russia will be negatively impacted here.

They get quite of bit of financial support. From Individuals and organizations. Organizations provide it for relief in Gaza, but it goes to the leadership to allocate. So Hamas. It is not like there are tankers docking with food aid daily. 

And their leadership, mostly in the Gull States, do not stay at the JW. They have their own villas, etc. 

And the support there. It is discussed, from country to country, in the mosques and media daily. 

Permission? That is the odd thing. But for a region cut off from the world they seem to be able to obtain/purchase paragliders and assault rafts.

are you contending that support is not needed from Iran either money, permission and/or other forms of support?  Because I'm saying it is needed (brisket was saying maybe not) and that Hamas does not act unilaterally to this degree without running the traps and getting the head nod they want, or conversely doing what the stronger partner in their partnership with Iran tells them to do (possibly willingly and with excitement). 

Basically, there's no way imo Hamas is a unilateral actor here.

The two big “counter-disinformation narratives” flying around today are:

1. The woman whose unmoving, nearly naked, unnaturally twisted body was sat on and paraded by Hamas fighters may not be dead but rather only grievously wounded!

I’m with you up until the leveling of city blocks with no warning.  That’s a crime and atrocity. 
 

The IDF bombs apartment buildings where there are stashes of rockets and where Hamas fighters shelter behind civilians. They have told Gaza residents where to leave and shelter to avoid air strikes, and Hamas discourages them to do it. Sometimes actively prevents them from doing it. 
 

I am the biggest supporter of Ukraine on this board, and even I will say that yes: children and civilians have died during Ukrainian strikes on Donbas and Crimea, both before and after 2022. It’s an awful thing.

Quote

All day, military chaplains and search teams tenderly wrapped tiny bodies, carrying them to waiting stretchers that bore them away from the nightmare of Kfar Aza.

The horrors that Israelis endured at the hands of Hamas in this kibbutz, a mile from the suburbs of Gaza City, defy belief. As they surged through Israeli defences, the Palestinian militants attacked Kfar Aza from four directions, starting with the “youngsters’ quarter” on the western side, closest to Gaza.

Little remained today of the homes in the kibbutz: only shards of coffee cups and blackened bedframes. And bodies.

Quote

Every few minutes soldiers broke the silence to announce that more dead people had been discovered. Some said that up to 40 babies’ corpses had been found among entire families who were shot dead as they slept. The children in particular appeared to have suffered gruesome deaths: there were claims that some had had their throats cut.

Quote

“I’ve served as a combat soldier and officer for 39 years,” Major General Itai Veruv said as he stood with red-rimmed eyes at the entrance to the kibbutz. “I’ve never seen anything that comes close to this. It’s not even something that our parents knew. This is something out of the world of our grandfathers back in Europe, from the pogroms and the Holocaust.”

As more bodies emerged, it seemed likely that Kfar Aza would turn out to be the scene of the biggest massacre of this war, the greatest loss of civilian life in a terrorist attack in Israeli history. It was part of Hamas’s assault on more than 15 communities, kibbutzim and towns on Saturday morning. An estimated 1,000 Israelis were killed and scores more, including women, elderly people and young children, were kidnapped.

In Kfar Aza officers were cautious not to give numbers of the dead on record, but privately they expect the worst. Yesterday more than 100 bodies were found in Kibbutz Be’eri, to the south. “This one is probably worse,” one officer said. “We are afraid we’ll find hundreds of bodies.”

Not much of an analogy really. I'm just pointing out the absurdity of justifying the bombing people's homes on the basis that the people were given 30 minutes' notice to flee. I changed some of the unimportant facts to make it hit a bit closer to home. Otherwise, it's exactly what Israel does to civilians in Palestine.
