"Lots of people think I am corrupt and using martial law to not get punished, which is dividing the country. Please say that I am a good boy and that I am above the law to fix that. BTW: you have to do it; you don't want a divided nation in this atmosphere we created purposefully to give me this leverage and extra power, do you?"

Most Shiites, Sufis, some Sunnis, and lots of other denominations either don't see it as Haram or see it as a frowned upon act, not entirely forbidden.

If you're talking about not pissing off Sunnis, then that's a bit harder (as usual). Depictions are controversial for the following:

  • (To mitigate another issue): The fear of Idolatry, as lots of Muslims believe that this is one of the reasons ~"Christianity was corrupted and became polytheistic".

  • (Haram) Because the depiction of living things is forbidden by some hadiths. [1]

  • (Frowned upon) Because of the ways such depictions might be stored later on. Some consider it Haram to simply throw away things with the names of one of the prophets or the word "Allah" for fear of it being mistreated (e.g. stepped on or altered) and extend that to the depictions of prophets (This extends the rule to all prophets of Islam, as such lots of children's cartoons use calligraphy or censor out depictions of all prophets). [2]

So yeah, there you go...

[2]:["Once, we are done with papers or magazines with writings of Quranic verses, prayers or Names of Allah, etc., we must not simply throw them or discard them as we would do with any other ordinary stuff; rather we must dispose them off in a respectable manner.

The ideal way of the disposal of such materials off is by shredding them and then trashing them. If that is not possible, then the next best thing to do is to trash them after cutting and slicing them into tiny pieces.

Burning is not recommended as it may be highly risky; especially indoors. If, however, it is extremely safe to so, and, once done under strict supervision, there is no harm in burning them."](https://aboutislam.net/counseling/ask-the-scholar/miscellaneous-ask-the-scholar/how-to-dispose-of-paper-with-allahs-name/)

It's more about extreme actions done in the name of "protecting honor".

Confess -> got a video of a "Hamas member" who works in the medical field confessing to whatever you want.

Doesn't confess -> torture him to death and don't share the story or simply increase the count of "Hamas militants" killed that you'll show later to journalists and other governments.

I completely agree. What I meant was: Anyone who wasn't too interested in the Palestinian cause might have thought it was possible, but now it's clear to everyone.

It seems the majority of people here actually believe that without Hamas Israel would just stop invading and pull out. This might have been wishful thinking a while ago, but right now this is called delusion, as we've seen what happens when you tell Israel you won't attack and are willing to cooperate for the benefit of both sides (Syria and Lebanon).

[–] Limitless_screaming@kbin.earth 10 points 8 months ago

While I hope Hamas doesn't get to keep ruling Gaza, Uprooting the only government that has some weapons and is willing to point them towards the invading army instead of its people doesn't seem like an effective way to make life in Gaza better or safer. Just ask the West bank.

If they wanted to, they could've destroyed all the weapons, defenses, and bases while Bashar was destroying infrastructure and homes. As for a land invasion, lets not pretend that HTS' take over was more than them marching forward and replacing flags. No one would have fought for Bashar if Israel with air support and advanced weaponry were to start an invasion.

Israel bombed Gaza and went in, then did the same for Lebanon, and was inevitably gonna enter Syria. It just wasn't in a rush to do so, the regime had already turned the country into rubble for them and was massacring Syrians city by city. It wouldn't have been in Israel's best interest to leave their regime exposed with no air defense or artillery.

Just for the record I don't believe that HTS or the next Syrian government will keep up this feud with Israel, they're an actual government that's trying to build a country. It has been clear for quite some time now that the regime is not interested in the "Axis of resistance" and whatever they were planing, but they really needed the Russian and Iranian support so they stayed as a part of the resistance on paper. Now it's gonna be official: No one is coming to get the Golan heights back, and no one has the power to help the Palestinians.

Yes, but they didn't need to do that before, now they aren't so certain.

Before Bashar's indefinite vacation they just flew by and bombed whatever they though needed bombing and Bashar would just bank the right to respond, instead of actually responding or using the air defenses to stop the bombing in the first place.

They never needed to bomb Syria since Bashar took care of that. Plus his barrels had shrapnel and metal nails to cause as much bodily harm as possible to "his people".

If they needed to get someone out of Syria and into some interrogation room they would just cross the border and grab him out of his house, just load him up and drive away.

I don't think there are many things done to Gaza today that Bashar didn't do to Douma, Daria, Allepo, Dar'a, Hama, Idlib, Homs, and Raqaa 10+ years ago.

Now Syria has some stability, the de facto government isn't driving a wedge between each Syrian and their neighbor based on religion and race to keep Syrians in fear of each other, and they are actually working to improve peoples' lives.
