This show of force, welcomed by some Palestinians after months of lawlessness, could now threaten the fragile ceasefire, especially as all living hostages from Hamas’s 7 October 2023 attack have been released.

The Hamas-run police maintained a high degree of public security after the militants seized power in Gaza 18 years ago while also cracking down on dissent. They largely melted away in recent months as Israeli forces seized large areas of Gaza and targeted Hamas security forces with airstrikes.

    Liberals when the Zionists kill civillians and label them terrorists: “Israel has a right to defend itself from terrorists”

    Liberals when Hamas acturally kills terrorists except they’re backed by the GDF: “Wahhh this is a violation of international law which I suddenly care about now”

      I don’t consider myself a liberal, but personally I would prefer everyone to stop killing each other. Such a waste of life.

        I do consider myself something that many on Lemmy would call a shitlib (I’m a socdem basically) and I concur. Would be nice if people stopped killing each other, regardless of who’s doing it to who.

        These people are guilty of terrorism, murder, rape, theft of critical supplies during a genocide, complicity in genocide, and collaboration with the Zionists. What are they supposed to just apologize and everyone moves on?

          I don’t know, send them to the hague or something. I think spontaneous extrajudicial executions in the public square aren’t going to help the people of Gaza feel safe, but maybe I’m projecting.

            What an absolute joke, send them to the Hauge? What are they gonna do, tell them with very strong words that they’re disappointed? International law isnt real, international courts don’t really exist, it is the job of Gaza to make sure that their criminals face justice.
