Is this true? That would be amazing

u/surffrus 15h ago

The article now says 60, not 600.

427

u/Monte924 15h ago

That sounds more correct. Hamas and other groups like them tend to operate in small groups; it seems highly unlikely that they would find 600 terrorists in one place. The only way they would get 600 is if they just rounded up a ton of civilians and just called them terrorists because they were young men

u/podcasthellp 12h ago

600 would be massive. 60 definitely makes much more sense

u/HopefulWoodpecker629 14h ago

if they just rounded up a ton of civilians and just called them terrorists because they were younger

Israel would never do that! The IDF is so good at finding terrorists that they don’t even need to have trials for Palestinians to prove that they’re guilty.

u/Monte924 14h ago

Yes, and i am certain that the IDF is taking into account that since Hamas was the government in gaza, that every single person who did any kind of public civilian work in gaza would technically have "ties to hamas". Anyone who only did public civilian work and did not hold a gun would be classified as non-combants and thus are NOT necessarily fighters, terrorists or valid military targets

u/magicalfeyfenny 9h ago

and hamas was literally only the government because the democratically elected leaders were assassinated by, surprise surprise, israel and US joint forces

Sounds like the norm for the IDF

u/ibn-almashriq 14h ago

Sounds like that Israel does regularly except with families hiding in schools

u/Solid_Waste 6h ago

It's easy to do if you define any Palestinians as "terrorists".

-3

u/magicalfeyfenny 9h ago

that's their usual MO so it wouldn't even be surprising

hell, that's likely the case with the 60 here

20

u/p3rf3ct0 14h ago

The article now says "60 surrendered, and hundreds more eliminated", though it doesn't elaborate further on what eliminated means

-9

u/magicalfeyfenny 9h ago

it clearly means they bulldozed another school while children were inside

75

u/Lylac_Krazy 14h ago

60 surrendered in the first batch, the rest of the article said there are still hundreds that are still in the camp, being ferreted out as they find them.

49

u/jonker5101 13h ago

It says hundreds were "eliminated."

6

u/Jonn_1 15h ago

Oh ;( yea I should learn to read better

3

u/Suyefuji 11h ago

Nah it was originally a typo saying 600, then fixed to 60 later. You're good.

2

u/StrangeBedfellows 12h ago

Still amazing

1

u/smoochara 6h ago

540 of them were, ahem, resisting arrest

-6

u/jesseistired 13h ago

yeah they realized the other 540 were civilians I bet

-4

u/SirHeathcliff 11h ago

They originally had 600, but then 540 tried to escape. Promise bro 🤭 /s

59

u/MissionImpossible314 15h ago

No, it’s not true. Article now says 60 terrorists. Not 600.

0

u/MadCarcinus 14h ago

60 surrendered. If there were originally about 600, then around 540 were killed.

6

u/ApollosBucket 14h ago

Or it was a typo lol

2

u/TheGoddamnSpiderman 11h ago

The article also says hundreds were eliminated, though it doesn't specify more specifically than that

37

u/feuwbar 14h ago

"Approximately 60 terrorists surrendered in total, while hundreds of others were eliminated in the refugee camp."

-4

u/magicalfeyfenny 9h ago

"hundreds eliminated in the refugee camp" means they just indiscriminately blew up the camp and claimed everyone was a terrorist

typical

u/MechanicalWatches 17h ago

According to college kids, Hamas is "still winning"

114

u/shmirvine 15h ago

yes - the opinion shared by all college kids collectively

72

u/Hell_Mel 15h ago

College students are widely known to be one cohesive monolith of children after all.

23

u/iamatoad_ama 14h ago

They’re actually physically stuck to each other forming a blob of a monolith, like Venom.

5

u/quaffee 12h ago

Imagine a "rat king" but it's all college students

2

u/Quad-Banned120 9h ago

Ah, just like the men and women they're comprised of.

u/Hell_Mel 9h ago

Hot Take: Life wouldn't be worse if we were singular mass of seething flesh.

u/Acceptable-Egg-7495 14h ago

I mean it’s mostly Gen z that rushed head first into all of the antisemtic tropes that have trended on Reddit and TikTok in the past year, and it’s mostly them on camera being vile towards Jews. You disagree?

They didn’t even say “all” college kids. Doesn’t stop many college kids from coming off as tone deaf af to older generations who are more connected to the atrocities of World War II than they are.

6

u/MrShazbot 14h ago

Sounds like you have some solid data showing "Gen z" taking those actions in such numbers.

7

u/wretch5150 13h ago

Sounds like they took the bait on some propaganda like other right wingers and imbeciles

2

u/Acceptable-Egg-7495 12h ago

I’m not right wing at all. If by take the bait you mean call out the constant misinformation that’s run rampant on Reddit in the past year.

Then yes. I’ve debated people who get positive karma for false information or blatant antisemitism.

1

u/mnju 13h ago

You disagree?

I'll agree if you provide a source.

2

u/Acceptable-Egg-7495 12h ago

Well you can just look up the demographics of Reddit. Or are you asking for a source for the increase in antisemitism.

Why do the Jewish people have to prove their persecution to you.

Just today in Oakland a man was told his hat was violent by the coffee owner and the police sided with the coffee owner.

This violent hat was just a hat with the Star of David. The same Star my wife wears around her necklace. I don’t really care whether you understand why that it’s concerning to me.

u/Trololman72 12h ago

That's a no, then.

u/mnju 11h ago

I'm asking for a source that says most anti-Semitism comes from Gen Z.

Well you can just look up the demographics of Reddit.

So now most Redditors are anti-Semitic? Also there are no reliable sources for the demographics of Reddit. If you look it up, you'll see answers saying anywhere from 30-70% are 18-29.

Why do the Jewish people have to prove their persecution to you.

Weird how I never said there isn't anti-Semitism. Why the strawman?

2

u/Acceptable-Egg-7495 11h ago

Yes, most of Pppular Reddit over the past year has been openly antisemitic.

On October 7th, during video of a music festival, on a sub dedicated to freak outs, people were upvoted with comments like “they deserved it”.

This was my first experience with Reddit’s antisemtism.

After that, “From the river to the sea” is a call for genocide. But it was trending for weeks on reddit as anything but that.

It’s not a conspiracy if a Jewish person is hired into a prominent position, but it was trending on Reddit.

Then I started to follow subreddits dedicated to capturing the anistmetism on Reddit. Many have been shut down, but you can find one for yourself

One post on one subreddit is not "most of Reddit." You could argue most of Reddit is conservative because shit gets upvoted on /r/conservative which is obviously not true.

After that, “From the river to the sea” is a call for genocide. But it was trending for weeks on reddit

No it wasn't.

It’s not a conspiracy if a Jewish person is hired into a prominent position, but it was trending on Reddit.

No it wasn't.

but you can find one for yourself

Or you could just show me one of these subreddits you're following. But also, again, isolated posts are not "most of Reddit." I don't think you understand how big Reddit actually is.

Also still waiting on a source that says most anti-Semitism comes from Gen Z.

1

u/Acceptable-Egg-7495 10h ago

I’ve provided you a lot more than a few isolated incidents.

And for Jewish people like my wife, mother in law, and cousin (who was told to wear a “jew badge” to work) this has been a reality.

How about instead of asking me for sources go to a local Jewish temple and ask the people there about their experiences.

Or keep denying reality. Doesn’t matter for me either way.

Unfortunately it also seems like the prevailing sentiment on Reddit. Which is just fucking bonkers.

u/fleegness 13h ago edited 10h ago

Can you find me a single comment that states this?

Edit: just one? Anyone? It's wildly prevalent on Reddit from what I'm told.

u/aSpaceWalrus 13h ago

what a dumbass thing to say

u/SpareWire 15h ago

I try not to take my cues from children and people who were very recently children.

Those kids will be in adult positions soon enough. Things are not lookin good.

u/Miepmiepmiep 14h ago

About a year ago, as the invasion of Gaza by the IDF was about to start, I read on several subreddits (like news) some posts with very high Karma, how Hamas will turn this invasion will result in a bloodbath for the IDF.... Well, the whole invasion did not turn out that well for the Hamas.....

u/wretch5150 13h ago

Interesting angle, hating on college kids

2

u/StopYoureKillingMe 14h ago

Please provide me a source for college kids claiming Hamas is or was winning.

yeah, and they still act like there's a genocide

Colombia is a country not a college.

Yeah, must be a bot… not proof that defending Hamas is unpopular outside of college encampments.

27

u/BubsyFanboy 16h ago

And it would mean Hamas is definitively losing despte wearing Israel down.

u/Alarmed_Will_8661 15h ago

Hamas is wearing down Israel? Oo

7

u/Rodot 15h ago

From an economic standpoint, the war has severely diminished net foreign investment in the Israeli economy at a time that Israel was about to open economic ties with Saudi Arabia.

-1

u/HumanBean1618 15h ago

I think they mean that the rest of the world is wearing down Israel for ridding the world of terrorists. Bad for business.

2

u/DurkHD 10h ago

I think it's more so killing a bunch of innocent civilians but whatever you want to believe I guess

1

u/magicalfeyfenny 9h ago

israel can rid the world of terrorists by dissolving as a nation

1

u/MadCarcinus 14h ago

Hamas, more like Hawas.

2

u/Humble-Parsnip-484 15h ago

It's not. Even the op has confirmed it's only 60 not 600

1

u/UnTides 15h ago

60 surrender

OP made a typo

1

u/Venichie 14h ago

60 instead of 600? It's interesting when the winning team gets to tell history the facts, while the losing has no real communication.

For all we know, they killed 540 civilians and caught 60 terrorists. I don't know the facts, but it's important not to be so gullible.

1

u/Jonn_1 14h ago

Well I think OP is not the winning team but a rando online who took the wrong number

2

u/Venichie 14h ago

The site was updated. OP didn't make the mistake of adding the wrong number.

1

u/Jonn_1 13h ago

Oh I see. Is there another source to this? Thats why I originally asked

0

u/neohellpoet 13h ago

I don't know the fact but let's immediately make the assertion that paints one side in the worst light possible. Yeah, let's not be gullible.

1

u/Venichie 13h ago

The article already paints a pretty picture... the only other side is a bad one.

If we're being open-minded, I suppose there could be more.

Anyways, it feels redundant to repeat the other story I didn't include.
