We were told he was fortified in a tunnel network surrounded by bodyguards and hostages as human shields, like some terrorist mastermind.

He is killed running alone from one bombed out house to another, by a soldier that didn't even recognize him.

Not saying he shouldn't have been killed, but it really shows the false pretenses under which this 'war' is being carried out.

When will justice be served for Palestinians?

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 18 points 4 hours ago

Is it justice if it's done by an unjust party for unjust reasons?

Like, no mourning for Sinwar here, but fuck, Israel icing him isn't exactly what I'd be throwing ticker tape in the streets over.

I can't read the whole article, but maybe she's seeing this as an opportunity to get Israel to dial the conflict down. Probably naive to think they'll stop for anything at this stage though, because they've shown it was never about the hostages to begin with.

Why would Israel dial down the conflict when they just took out another obstacle in their march to settle all of Gaza and the West Bank and part or all of Lebanon?

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 1 points 3 hours ago

Exactly.

Sinwar was seen as a big impediment to any deal. Usually just he would decide to walk away from talks, as opposed to a whole delegation like the other parties. Anyway, after being imprisoned for 20 years, several of them in solitary, and writing a book glorifying martyrdom, it seems that he was fully committed to the long term struggle against the Jew and removing him may help end this genocide.

"or our interests..."

that hegemony talk sure is something.
