      Are we really pretending there are no hamas in the west bank?

        Are we really pretending Israel is killing Hamas and not any Palestinian it can?

        You did not answer my questions.

        But I’ll answer yours. Hamas is not in the west bank you dolt. There is no “pretending” about it. You actually have to be mentally ill to think that somehow “Hamas” has spread out of one of the most heavily guarded regions through Israel and into the next most heavily guarded regions, the west bank.

        I guess if you’ve now taken israel’s definition of “hamas” which is all arabs, then yeah, hamas is literally everywhere in the region.

        Now, explain why fighting “hamas” involves desecrating bodies and bulldozing homes? How is that counter terrorism? Oh wait, you don’t think arabs are human so I guess that makes it ok, right?

          What you are claiming is factually incorrect. Hamas is in the West Bank and no amount of denialism or insults will change that fact.

          Media reports since 2022 suggest that Hamas and PIJ, with Iranian backing, have aided increased militant action in the West Bank (where actions by Israeli forces and settlers may endanger Palestinian civilians) to target Israelis and undermine the PA.

          The Israeli military says it has killed the head of the Palestinian armed group Hamas in Jenin and two other fighters, as a major operation continues for a third day in the north of the occupied West Bank. Israeli security forces shot dead Wissam Khazem and then carried out air strikes on the other two as they attempted to flee, a statement said.

          Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), mourned today a military commander in the Jenin Refugee Camp in the West Bank, amid the ongoing large-scale “Israeli” incursion. The commander Wissam Ayman Khazem “ascended to martyrdom following an airstrike that targeted him after an engagement with uncover Israeli forces east of Jenin” – according to Hamas’ statement on their official Telegram channel.

            To sum up the reports here. Hamas is in the west bank, ACCORDING TO THE IDF.

            And if you read any of the articles you actually posted, you know that there are a lot of problems with just verifying what the IDF claims as true. For example, Wissam Khazem’s death where the IDF quickly hid the body and hasn’t allowed any 3rd party verification.

            Or the fact that in the very same article about Wissam Khazem’s death, it goes on to talk about how snipers killed elderly and disabled people in the region.

            You see, Israel likes to play this neat trick where every person they kill is suddenly hamas. So, excuse me for not believing israelie intelligence sources when we have crystal clear evidence of them massacring civilians.

            But again, are you going to answer my question. How many hostages are in the west bank?

                So we should believe Hamas about this, but not when they talk about the Gaza death toll?

                  So we should distrust hamas on this but not when they talk about the Gaza death toll?

        Look Israel, there’s a hamas janitor in the building next to xhrit’s apartment complex! Time to level the entire neighborhood so they won’t harm anyone.
