The Thai government has called for the release of all remaining citizens being held in Gaza. So far at least 33 Thai nationals have been killed, according to figures shared by Thai authorities with CNN – with 18 Thai nationals still being held hostage as of October 26.

    Why wouldn’t Israel be out for blood? America glassed entire countries when provoked, why did anyone think or expect Israel to just take the Oct 7 attack and shrug it off/not react? Fuck Hamas and their “peace attempts” after murdering festival goers and families.

      America has never glassed any entire country, they’ve used exactly 2 nuclear bombs on one country and it was two cities, not the whole county.

        Yeah but they way people talk about the USA online you would think they systematically genocided a whole race or glassed a country or something. And it’s not euphemisms. People write that shit as if they believed it sincerely

      And did it work? You’re implying the war on terror was anything more than a disaster.

        I’m saying it’s funny you want Israel to take an attack without reaction, after you’ve reaped the benefits of colonizing and fucking up entire natiions. Imagine if after 9/11, the Taliban had said “we want peace now”, would you or any other American have accepted their peace overture?

          Yeah I would since the Taliban had jack shit to do with 9/11. Bombing and invading them for 20 years accomplished absolutely nothing. The US isn’t any safer and Afghanistan is worse off.

          It’s actually a stupid question when you think about it. Would I save thousands of lives on both sides that were needlessly wasted? Yeah, I would. But you just want blood so you don’t give a fuck about hearing reason.

          I’m from Egypt, so my country was on the other side of colonialism, but that’s irrelevant either way.

          Imagine if after 9/11, the Taliban had said “we want peace now”, would you or any other American have accepted their peace overture?

          The Taliban didn’t do 9/11, but that aside 9/11 and this attack are fundamentally different. A closer comparison would be terror attacks against Britain during the Troubles.

      Fuck Israel for occupying Palestinian lands and bombing and killing innocent men, women and many many many children.
