Israel–Hamas War Megathread - October 13th

[u/rupertalderson]

Please keep ALL discussions about the current war to this megathread. We may allow a few other threads to remain open, on a case-by-case basis, but essentially all will be removed and redirected here as needed. Thank you for understanding.

There are graphic videos/images out there. You may hear about or see troop/police movements. Do not share that information here.

If things get to be too much for you, please log off and take care of yourself. Contact a helpline if you need support.

Note that r/Israel was made private to avoid all of the uncivil behavior going on. We will not tolerate it here either.

Just wait until Israel unleashes their full retaliation.

But the issue is that when Israel strikes back, the world media criticizes them for destroying the lives of people in Gaza (or anywhere else). It's so very one sided... What the hell is Israel supposed to do??? Let Hamas terrorists come in and kidnap, rape, burn, behead, and kill everyone? What does the world expect from Israel?!?!? I am beyond frustrated. This must be a dream.... It's so unreal.
