Why has the messaging on Gaza changed so suddenly in the last few weeks?

[RainSoakedNights]

It’s really, really nice to see. Too little too late, but it’s still something. But it’s gone from covering it as if everything that was happening in Gaza was normal, firing people for speaking out (Gary Lineker), to showing the reality of what is happening and the knock on effects that will affect generations. I think we’re potentially a few weeks away from this being called what it is - a genocide. But what has caused this change?

Yes, I’ve seen all this, it’s not proof, it’s just hearsay that’s repeated without question or scrutiny by the western media.
Given Israels enormous success in assassinating political targets in extremely difficult circumstances how feasible is it for Hamas leaders to live lives of openly in luxury hotels in Qatar?
If Hanniyeh was living such a life why opt to assassinate him in a safe house under military protection in the middle of Tehran? Surely a luxury hotel in Qatar would be a much easier target?
Also that was not a £40,000 handbag.

That’s disgusting to say the images of the children are AI generated.

I suppose it proves there are still those who cannot and will not see

No of course not … but the IDF can’t just go into another country and start assassinating people can they? It could lead to another war if Qatar buildings or citizens got damaged in the attempt.

Erm ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Israeli_assassinations

(Including various Middle Eastern and European countries)

Then you won’t accept anything as proof that you don’t want to see.

That’s up to you but the evidence is there of Hamas leaders living in luxury. Not many people try to deny that.

Provide it then. Post the links.

Most assassinations are in Gaza or Iran.

Any in Qatar?

Pointless… when people just deny what the links.

If people will only believe stuff coming out of Gaza and not information provided by Israel, US or UK sources then it’s pointless.

If you have the proof, provide it. Go on.

Qatar is spared because it hosts the Al Udeid Air Base, the largest American base in the region and it is an extremely close ally of the US.

So much so that it was only after the Obama administration requested that Qatar open a Hamas office in 2012 that they did.

This was confirmed by Qatar’s Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani in an interview he gave to Tucker Carlson earlier this year.

"We are sure that every step we are taking, we are very transparent, coordinating with the U.S. and making sure that we are doing the right thing"

I already posted links above, there are many more if you google Hamas Leaders Luxury.

Not to the best of my knowledge. But they did it in Dubai. And Belgium. And Malaysia. And Norway (they accidentally offed a Moroccon waiter instead of the intended target on that one). Just the ones I remember off the top of my head.

I’m asking you to provide it and prove your claims.

There's an extremely detailed book by Ronen Bergman about the assassinations.

Oh god that's almost funny.

This is such a disgusting post, I'm not sure why I'm bothering to respond. The end does not justify the means.

Reports of their wealth have been reported the New York Post, Foundation for Defence of Democracies, Daily Mail, i24 News, Middle East Forum, Fox News, Kings College London, The Telegraph, The Arab Weekly, Hindustan Times, Ynet News, The Washington Post & Sky News Australia - that's just from a quick Google.

Hamas rulers living it up and assassinations is irrelevant, just like in Africa and elsewhere, despotic leaders tend to feather their own nests first.

But its not the issue, no matter how defenders of Israeli govt try to make it.

The IDF have good control of much of Gaza now, they can, if they wanted to, ensure aid is distributed differently to how it was previously.

This is the point there is no proof, just Israeli officials repeating it over and over again. That doesn’t make it true. Honestly if Hamas leaders tried living the lifestyles they’re accused of, they wouldn’t last ten minutes.

There’s a reason Hanniyeh was staying in a safe in a safe house under military protection and even that wasn’t enough!

Even when you see video footages and images of a raided Hamas leader's vacation home you refuse to believe it so at this point the links I provided are not for you but for others coming to this thread in future to read.

It's not the most relevant part of this war, I agree, but someone else introduced the subject not me, I was just replying to it. At least you are not so far into denial that you refuse to acknowledge even that despotic leaders like Hamas leaders do feather their own nests first.

I agree with you that now the IDF have good control of Gaza the Israel goverment should be able to come up with a better method of aid distribution that the GHF (where there was never enough aid it seems or enough distribution points) or air dropping aid into Gaza.

Yeah, Hamas are just misunderstood social workers, didn’t you know that @ThisIsInsane 🙄

Hamas are evil, what they did on Oct 7th is beyond anything the Israelis have suffered in modern history, that Hamas have stripped their own people is also not in doubt.

But none of that excuses the actions of the Israeli Govt in Gaza and also what they have done in the West Bank too, which are also evil.

The West has stood by & allowed the collective punishment of the Gazans, the only reason they are perhaps, changing their tune (i'm not convinced Starmer has at all) is because they are worried about any court judgement on Genocide/War crimes.

I had to read that post 3 times, to believe it!!!

ETA: the one you replied to!

Its pointless, I think you are far too rational for this lot! The argument now seems to be that Israel should have killed off more Hamas personnel much earlier and in any country they happened to be. Quite extraordinary argument.
