In a shocking incident, horrific visuals are surfacing on the internet in which it can be seen that the Hamas militants are taking a semi-naked dead body of an Israeli woman on an open truck and parading in the city. It is said that the militants after attacking Israel are killing and taking the civilians as hostage. The militants took the dead bodies of the innocent civilians who were killed during the attack in open trucks and paraded them.
Does it just look like a regular funeral car, moving the body of a peaceful person to the graveyard for a kind goodbye with grieving family? Or, if you focus, could you see a group of people laughing oddly? Notice the armed passengers in the pick-up truck, surely feeling on top of the world because of what they’re doing. Look at the man casually grabbing her by her dreadlocks. Spot the man who carelessly spat on her head at the end of the video. Check out her unnatural pose - could you please look at how her arm and leg are bent? Surprisingly, there’s not any military gear on her.
I almost forgot - the person killed so hatefully seems to have been recognized. Check this: https://www.instagram.com/p/CwxZUkQM7Mn/. Notice the same boots, the identical tattoo on her leg, her dreadlocks, the victim’s clothing looks the same as the woman in the link, and they were both near Gaza borders before the event.
To make matters worse, there’s lots of viral videos showing these bad guys boldly kidnapping innocent women.
Put all these pieces together and the picture is really dark. Yet there they are, those “militants” who are “just moving the body” and the people watching, all making a great fun out of her dead body. It really makes you think that IS a parade?
Jesus fucking Christ simmer the fuck down, the guy didn’t say “HAMAS IS DOING ALLAH’S WORK ALL PRAISE HIS NAME” he just took issue with the terminology.
I’m taking issue with the grasping of straws to build resentment to the Palestinians and their resistance. Certainly, I personally do not agree with all of Hamas’s methods and ideology, but that is irrelevant. They are simply the good guys in this fight and we shouldn’t be clutching our pearls about it.

The ANC and their militant affiliates did some things that were labeled as terrorism in their struggle against apartheid in South Africa, yet they were objectively the good guys in that fight. I don’t know why some people have a hard time seeing the similarities in the Palestinian struggle.
Anyone who kidnaps, rapes, and murders a civilian is a bad guy. Full stop.
In a broad, philosophical, humanitarian context okay, sure, maybe. However, in the specific context of a struggle were one side is trying to ethnically cleanse the other you usually have to be a dim coward to say that both sides are bad.
That’s an argument we could have but it’s not the one we’re having. We’re talking about the specific actions of these Hamas fighters. Even if, hypothetically, they are fighting for a good cause, the way they’re going about it is SO abhorrent it renders their cause moot, morally.
And don’t what about Israel because I know you want to. Israel is awful and that’s also another separate conversation that we’re not having.
Well, what is your argument? So what if some Hamas fighters allegedly did something bad (although it’s not apparent that they’ve done anything besides collect a body, probably for ransom). Did the bombing of Dresden render the struggle against the Nazi’s moot? Give me a break!
I’ve become convinced that there are basically no good guys in war, but intentionally targeting civilians does put you a cut above the rest. Average Israelis and average Palestinians are the real victims here.
The Irish occasionally did bad things to English civilians, as did the Allies to the Nazis, the ANC to the boers, and I suppose in the present the Ukrainians to the Russians. Do you both-sides those conflicts as well? When bad things happen on behalf of a rightful liberation struggle it is ultimately the fault of the occupiers. The chickens come home to roost.
If you like I’m sure we can find some videos that actually show bodies being paraded through streets. That’s just not what’s happening in the video from the article. They are trying to move the body as quickly as they can, possibly even to prevent something really atrocious from happening. Like it or not, Hamas are the good guys in this fight, regardless of the actual provenance or treatment of the corpse.
