Both of these things can be simultaneously true;

1) Israel is committing a genocide against Palestine
2) Yahya Sinwar, the butcher of Khan Younis, was an evil terrorist and it's good that he's dead

People in this thread seemingly lionising him is astounding.

You should quote something and respond to it directly instead of making outlandish statements about what "people in this thread" think

Military leaking this completely undermines Bibi, and makes the point that the war in unwinnable.

Both of these things can be simultaneously true;

Many more things can be true at the samer time.

1) Israel is committing a genocide against Palestine

Yes.

2) Yahya Sinwar, the butcher of Khan Younis, was an evil terrorist and it's good that he's dead

Hmmm, I'm not sure resisting occupation is by definition evil is it?

Was he a terrorist? One man's freedom fighter is a another man's terrorist etc.

Certainly to Israelis and those who buy unconditionally into a US-centric worldview he was a "terrorist".

My main issue with him is not his fighting against Israel, or even Oct 7, but his being a Sunni militant.

Hamas allied with the Syrian jihadist scum last decade, and they certainly aren't my cup of tea in any way.

But he was also a brilliant guerrilla commander who led one of the all time attacks by an occupied people against their brutal oppressor.

And he died like a soldier too, he didn't scurry off to Qatar etc.

People in this thread seemingly lionising him is astounding.

"Seemingly" is code for you have decided people are?

People are going to have different opinions to you on this, that's OK, you don't need to shout them down or into submission.

Welcome to the average Friday on this thread.

This week - as usual - Chad decides everyone else is wrong about something and chaos ensues!

Agree, but with what Israel has done will only increase the number of boys wanting to grow up and do what he did.

So to those kids he wasn't a terrorist but a freedom fighter.

He's only a terrorist is you situate you worldview as opposed to the Palestinian struggle against occupation and genocide imo.

 

[The Warlord]

It's funny how everyone who opposes Israel is a "terrorist".

It's utterly ludicrous to assert that Israel is committing genocide but then label any armed opposition to the genocide as "terrorism".
