Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Putting aside whether terror is strategic, taking hostages is a strategy.

Killing houndreds of innocent unarmed civilians isn't

Are you saying if one element of their response isn't strategic then it doesn't matter about the rest?

[–] TheBlue22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nope, as I stated otherwise.

I am saying that non strategic acts harm the cause more than strategic help it.

Hamas does much more non strategic acts than strategic acts, to such an extent that calling them a freedom fighting group is objectively false.

Thanks for clarifying.
