Israel’s defense minister announced that the Hamas militant group has started a war against Israel and pledged that "Israel will win.”

Following a security cabinet meeting at the Israeli military headquarters in Tel Aviv, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant warned that Hamas “made a grave mistake” in launching barrages of rockets into southern and central Israel in its surprise morning attack.

In one of the most serious escalations in years between Israel and the militant group that rules Gaza, Hamas gunmen crossed the border fence at several places and infiltrated Israeli communities.

    It’s clear from the footage coming out of southern Israel right now that the goal of Hamas is to simply kill as many Jews as possible. Either you stand with Israel right now or you stand with genocide. You can no longer claim ignorance of the crimes of Hamas if you associate yourself with the “#freepalestine” cause.

      Critiscm of Israel and their treatment of Palestinians is not antisemitic. It is not supporting genocide. Take a look in the mirror.

        Given 20% of Israelis are Arabs, it’s obvious you don’t understand what genocide is. Hamas is currently performing pogroms in Israel, you’ve fallen victim to propaganda and your ignorance is clear.

        I’m not crying either, and I won’t be when Gaza gets turned to fucking glass this week and every single terrorist is blown away.

        From the river to the sea, Israel will be free!

      This take makes perfect sense if you have been paying attention for only the last twelve seconds of history
