Hamas planned attacks on Jewish people in Europe

Have seen in the news - I suspect it’s the tip of the iceberg and absolutely terrifying for Jewish people everywhere. Hamas need to be stopped, hopefully this helps to reinforce that they are a terrorist group and not some romantic notion about being ‘freedom fighters’

Posting this from an AP report to counter claims made on here that the "bad people" 🙄"do not operate outside the occupied territories and certainly not in Europe":

German prosecutors alleged the suspects “have been longstanding members of Hamas and have participated in Hamas operations abroad.” They said the suspects were closely linked to the leadership of Hamas’ military wing, which is considered a terrorist organization by the United States and the European Union.

Yes. They are recognised terrorists. What more do people need?!

Funnily enough I bet my bottom dollar those defending Hamas will be the first to be annihilated by them. Jewish people just want to be left in peace in a Land that can call their own in where anti-semitism is at an absolute minimum.

Hamas has been operating for decades with the tacit support of the Israelis

Can you see why October 7th changed views on Hamas?

Hamas has been operating for decades with the tacit support of the Israelis in their attempts to undermine the PA and frustrate a two state solution. The sudden attempt to now craft Hamas into some ISIS like global threat is a pathetic attempt to justify and deflect the mounting criticism of Israel’s genocide campaign.

every day this genocide is allowed to continue is a stain on our collective humanity.

So Hamas are kidnapping, raping and murdering innocent civilians because they’re just misunderstood?

@Delightangels it was awful.

I found the paragraph about the 'long-standing members' who had 'participated in operations abroad' interesting.

Also the fact this had been ongoing from spring 2023. Somewhat rubbishing the claim this is a response to the latest conflict.

'Huge risks of terrorist attacks in the European Union' is very worrying.

So angry @OuiOuiKitty.
Don't like being called out?
Feel free not to engage. I find it odd you would say these things on this thread anyway.

Minimising and shouting down people when they feel most scared and vulnerable. Hardly something to be proud of?

I'm not at all angry. That poster can say what she likes. Like I said I don't know her from Adam, I've just replied to a few of her posts on this thread and have seen her post about 'collective punishment' being fashionable and defending the killing of civillians on another. It would appear that she is the one with a whole narrative in her head about us 'crossing paths'.

If you are reading my posts as shouting down, then again that is a narrative in your head just like me being angry is. I've made my stance clear and I stand by it. I don't think any civillians life is worth more than another. I don't support the killing of any civillians. I think the people that support the killing of some and brush it off as 'just what happens' but then wail about the potential killing of others are hypocritical. Either people matter or they don't, their ethnicity, their religion or their country of residence or birth shouldn't come into it.

@Christmascountdownpanic

Ah. I meant bingo as it was within the first 20 posts that one of the usual suspects turned up with the same old, hyperbolic, derailing drivel

I was out last night and was answering as I scrolled through the thread rather than reading to the end first

I said as much in the beginning but got shouted down!

It's really quite obvious

Yep.

Its not trendy to not be anti-Semitic though so a lot of us were silenced

The narrative in your head is becoming clearer, and the irrational projections are incredible!

Just because I challenge the use of biased, inflammatory (and potentially Hamas-propaganda) terms like "genocide" and "war crimes," you and your gang see me as a white middle-class lady in pearls, gloating "KILL KILL KILL!!!" because I despise, errrrmmmm, people with a different colour skin (??????). Or something like that...

I mean, this is just too childish and pathetic to even begin to unpick. You take offence at my posts because you either can't or won't understand them. We've crossed paths enough times for you to have seen my longer/more careful explanations, so it's pointless repeating them!

War is inherently a crime against humanity. And as wars go, this is (to put it mildly) an unusually difficult one for both sides. That's why I disagree with the labels you attach to it.

The funny thing is how clear you are about what you think should happen to anyone who opposes your views. What you hope will "come to my door." Astonishing.

Are you sock puppeting? That reply wasn't even to you? We have 'Crossed paths enough times', have we? To my knowledge I have never replied to you prior to this thread? If you have name changed or are posting on multiple accounts I have no knowledge of that but you should probably be upfront about it if you want people to recognise who you are.

I'm not engaging with genocide denial, I'm not engaging with war crimes denial. It's clear to see what is happening. Those who won't see it are doing so willfully at this stage and that is your choice. It is my choice to not engage with people who deny it and therefore support it. If you think that is childish and pathetic crack on, the opinion of people who defend the killing of innocent people is of no interest to me.

So are you saying Hamas are NOT. a global threat?

It's easy to see how they have been emboldened by all the "free,free Palestine" marches across the world.

Their PR us great, even if they are murdering terrorists

Ah, but they didn't happen since detected and stopped so to some that doesn't count.

To another poster well she says so what it's no different to killing civilians in a war.

And you really think they are impartial and can say whatever they want: https://www.dci-palestine.org/contact ? Somehow, not even hamas friend Mr Corbyn repeats this lie...

What's the contact form for?

Toothyfruity · 15/12/2023 09:07

Those who don't approve of the use of children as human shields presumably also condemn the IDF for using them?

Does anyone have information on attacks carried out outside of Israel and the Occupied Territories by Hamas? I'd be interested in learning the history of this.

Bingo!

Absolutely disgusted with some of the comments on this thread. No wonder Jewish people feel threatened. And bearing in mind some PP's will be tempering their comments to fall within Mumsnet moderation and talk guidelines.

Edited

Yes it's disgusting. Blatant.

Honestly, some posters will never believe that the threat to Jewish people worldwide is legitimate. Millions of Jewish people could be murdered in Europe and North America, and many people would still say there is no credible source or the whole thing is being doctored to fit Israel's agenda.

They do believe it's legitimate, they just don't care. At least they've dropped the pretence of only being anti-Israel and are now being openly anti-Jew.
