Hamas kills hundreds at music festival

[TexasDem69]

Hamas is no better than ISIS.

“The number of people killed and wounded at the festival is not yet clear. It is also not known whether Hamas took anyone hostage from the party, as they have done in other towns and villages.

But Yaniv, an emergency medic who was called out to the party, told public broadcaster Kan News: "There are at least 200 bodies of Israelis in the area I was in."

"It was a massacre," he said. "I've never seen anything like it in my life. It was a planned ambush. As people came out of the emergency exits, squads of terrorists were waiting for them there and just started picking them off.”

1. Hamas and their supporters are no different than ISIS

If Hamas did this in the US or Europe, people wouldn't be defending them.

3. It's really something the Nazi SS would have done nt

4. Who is defending Hamas?

Haven’t seen it yet. The closest I’ve seen is some people calling for a cease fire.

[Marius25]

9. Lots of people. Pretty much anyone who is pro-Palestinian thinks this is justified

I see it constantly on other social media outlets I'm on.

6. NO ONE is defending Hamas. Why do you make such ridiculous and unfounded accusations?

[Marius25]

10. Because it's not unfounded. I see it on plenty of other social media sites.

[hlthe2b]

11. Yet, you feel free to insinuate it is occurring here. That is indefensible.

12. There is a thread near the top of GD where someone is doing just that.

Thankfully it is not very widespread here.

[hlthe2b]

13. I don't believe you.

What some get from shit-stirring here escapes me and most good DU members.

[tritsofme]

15. Well my understanding is that TOS prevent me from pointing out exactly.

But there are over 100 comments, someone actually found the slaughter at the music festival to be “kind of funny”

24. If you are referring to the OP, I know you KNOW they are not referring to Hamas, but long-standing

conflict between the Palestinian and Israeli people. To suggest otherwise (and if that was your intention), just convinces me to ignore you in the future.

[former9thward]

25. Not just the OP.

Posters within. You said, you shouted, "NO ONE" is supporting Hamas. But ignore away...

5. Your original link will work if you just erase the dot after the 4

22. Thanks! Good to know

7. Fuck Hamas!

[Chainfire]

8. How did Hamas pull such and organized effort without the Israelis getting wind of it?

Who was asleep on watch?

[KewlKat]

14. I've wondered the same thing about 9-11...

18. +1

16. They may have gotten the intelligence but didn't believe it

If I remember correctly, Ike received intelligence the Germans were putting together a sizeable force but he didn't believe Germany was capable of launching a counter offensive so late in the war. Then the Battle of the Bulge happened

[sarisataka]

23. I read that the plan was coordinated

With face to face meetings and couriers. There was no digital footprint to tip off the Mossad. By limiting information to only the most trusted members they neutralized HUMINT, which is extremely difficult for Israel in any case.

26. Update--Hamas murdered at least 260 at festival

27. Infected Mushroom

My husband is a big fan of EDM, and is into the Israeli group Infected Mushroom. Fortunately, they weren't playing that festival.
