Hamas’s Qassam Brigades has threatened to execute Israeli captives if Israel continues to bombard and kill civilians in Gaza.

“Any targeting of innocent civilians without warning will be met regretfully by executing one of the captives in our custody, and we will be forced to broadcast this execution,” said Abu Obeida, a spokesman for Hamas’ Qassam Brigades.

“We regret this decision but we hold the Zionist enemy and their leadership the responsibility for this,” he said.

    There’s so much fucked about it. Love your comment.

    One I explain to people is that at one point there were Palestinian Jews. That tends to blow people’s minds.

    The history of awful in the region and this conflict has a sad and crazy depth with no shortages of horrific incidents. That’s why when people are so comfortable calling out one side or another my alarm bells go off.

    And honestly it kills me, bc I’m adamantly against centrisim. But the history of this one leaves me there no matter how much I hate it. I can’t see an innocent government in that entire region.
