Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Why you may not see Palestinians celebrating family members' return

Israeli officials warns Palestinians about celebrating the release of prisoners

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

And what does Hamas want? The article doesn't mention them.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Worth asking that and what Israel's conservative ruling party want. Those two will be the ones to decide what happens next.

How is that even relevant when it is clear that it is not Hamas being targeted but the entire indigenous populace? It always has been.

They likely still want what they always have, freedom from the violence of their oppressors and a return to their indigenous lands. Until Israel, by choice or force, stops it's decades long settler colonial violence against Palestinians - or succeeds in their annihilation attempts - this will continue.

And death to Israel? You forgot that part. I'm all for the rest.

You'd be a fool to believe they'd stop there

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Why, because Israel didn't stop where they agreed? Maybe stop projecting the real actions of the oppressor onto the ones being oppressed.

We have no idea what Hamas would or wouldn't do in the future, only what has already happened and what they publicly declare. In any situation, what Hamas wants is largely irrelevant if nothing is done to stop Israel from continuing their decades long ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people.

Yes we do have a history showing what hamas will do and it isn’t pretty

We don't have to take them at their word though.

Both sides had planned to push out the other in '48. If the battles worked out differently oppressor/oppressed would just be reversed

What's a rocket or two in the grand scheme of things after 1996. I suppose just a nice hello. OK, now you go.
