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.

Vietcong executed collaborators and most people today don't deny that they was still a resistance group

[–] Spesknight@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

The difference between resistance and terrorist is only who wins in the end.

How does Hamas executing Israeli collaborators threaten a ceasefire exactly?

[–] MrMakabar@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

In this conflict it is only a matter of time until the ceasefire is broken. Anything could be used as a cause.

This seems like Israeli propaganda. Are they allowing impartial journalists into Palestine? Israel killed over 250 journalists.

It was interesting to see all the mainstream outlets suddenly talking about extrajudicial killings in Gaza like they haven't spent the last 2 years cheerleading for an extrajudicial genocide in Gaza. The articles are all meant to present an implicit message - "look at how scary and violent these Arab barbarians are. This is what happens when you let them run their own country instead of killing them all".

The media cheered on Israel bombing a hospital and killing 20 people because there might have been a "Khamaas camera!". (there was not, it was a journalist camera)

But suddenly they start talking about due process and law when Palestinians execute Israeli collaborators.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Hamas aren't friendly lovable rebels. They're a product of oppression, people turned extreme using extreme measures.

Ignoring that the IDF killed 6 people yesterday during this "ceasefire" -_-

Jesus christ why can't Hamas and the Zionist party just trade for each others leaderships so they can be executed and we can move past these old fucking religious extremists who keep us busy killing each other?

FFS I hate what religion enables us to do to each other.

[–] flandish@lemmy.world 32 points 3 days ago (12 children)

it’s not religion. it’s class.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 37 points 3 days ago (3 children)

religion is used as lubricant in the class machinery

Do you really, truly believe most Israelis don't want exactly this? The vast majority of Israelis identify as Zionists, and specifically the kinds of Zionists that would at best support expelling Palestinians.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah, the propaganda is pretty strong, and it seems they've insulted their people from reason.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

Hamas said it would disarm once the occupation end. They accept the two state solution based on pre 67 borders. There is all kind of militant in Palestine there is not only muslims fighting the occupation. From thr palestinian side it was never about religion but liberation from settler colonialism

[–] JamesTBagg@lemmy.world 47 points 3 days ago

Powerful local families and armed gangs – including some anti-Hamas factions backed by Israel – stepped into the void. Many are accused of hijacking humanitarian aid and selling it for profit, contributing to Gaza’s starvation crisis.

Nahed Sheheiber, head of Gaza’s private truckers union, said Hamas was acting against gangs that had terrorised people in areas controlled by Israel.

“Those gangs looted aid and killed people under the protection of the [Israeli] occupation,” he told The Associated Press, saying they operated in so-called red zones where Israel had ordered people to evacuate. The Israeli military did not respond to a request for comment.

[...]

Residents of the area, who spoke on condition of anonymity out of security concerns, said the gang, led by Hussam Doghmush, was known to loot aid convoys and rob abandoned homes in areas controlled by the Israeli military. They said Doghmush was among some two dozen people killed in the clashes with Hamas, including a local journalist and a son of a senior Hamas official based outside Gaza.

Hamas-linked Telegram channels said Hamas had targeted “collaborators and traitors” working with Israel. The Hamas-run Sahm security force, which says it targets looters and other criminals, shared footage that appeared to show its forces killing eight people execution-style in the streets as people cheered. It said the detainees were gangsters.

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"

[–] absentbird@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago (5 children)

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

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 days ago

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.

Back to business as usual?

[–] fodor@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh, it's Hamas that's threatening peace? I seem to understand that Israel is already ahead of the game on that. Sigh.

"Could now threaten the ceasefire"

Lol, yeah sure. This is what will do it im sure. Nothing else at all...

By the way, for those that actually read the article you'll notice it's super interesting the parts that OP quoted there and the parts that he left out.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 3 days ago

Nobody batted an eye when Israel killed 5 Palestinians a day or two ago

[–] mistermodal@lemmy.ml 34 points 3 days ago (41 children)

You guys do understand that Israel has been funding ISIS gangs to rape and kill Palestinians? How exactly should the people of Palestine deal with this issue? Ask them politely to leave?

Israel spent the last 2 years publicly executing hundreds of thousands of civilians. Hamas (legitimate governing organization of Gaza) is finally freed up to deal with the collaborators and criminals who were taking advantage of their already brutalized neighbors.

[–] WildPalmTree@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (3 children)

The word "legitimate" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there, bro.
