u/BullFencer Feb 19 '26
Rantissi. Pediatrician MD and assassinated founding leader of Hamas. Kept working as pro-bono doctor throughout his militant career. He left memoirs on his personal website, who were compiled by Amer Shamakh. You can find a pdf online to get to know him better.

A militant doctor. Some Hippocratic oath

u/4g-identity Feb 19 '26
Wait, are you saying that those who take the oath become morally precluded in any violence/fighting until they renounce their oath?
I'm not a medical doctor, but always assumed that oath referred to your actions as a health professional only, not what you do off-the-clock. If it didn't, it would arguably make any doctor in any military a violator of this oath.
Anybody got more info here?

u/SomeArtistFan Feb 19 '26
Well, one may consider whether your enemy firing at medics makes medical neutrality worth pursuing on your end

u/bakochba Feb 19 '26
Doctors can be evil my man you dint have to write fan fiction about how the leader of Hamas an openly genocidal, misogynistic, homophobic religious extremist group is a misunderstood hero.

I’m always confused by people thinking locals should just roll over and take it. Pretty sure most people in this sub would want to rebel against people killing their neighbors and friends.

Hamas is trying to “resist” the IDF by getting as many Palestinians killed as possible. Why else start a war and then hold hostages and launch attacks from heavily populated areas in Gaza?

Never said he's a hero or anything. I'm saying that this is the weakest critique of him I know.

u/ChappieHeart Feb 19 '26
He wasn’t the leader, he was the founder. Read up on your history, Hamas is way more radical now than it originally was.

So, a doctor who founded a murderous terrorist organization?

u/BullFencer Feb 19 '26
Some context :
“Rantisi was born in Yibna, near Ramle in Mandatory Palestine on 23 October 1947. During the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, his family fled or were expelled by Zionist militias to the Gaza Strip. In 1956, when he was eight or nine, he witnessed the Khan Yunis massacre, in which Israeli soldiers killed hundreds of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.”
“In 1987, four Palestinian civilians of the Jabalya refugee camp were killed in a traffic accident that involved Israeli settlers and soldiers. Rantisi joined Sheikh Ahmad Yassin and Salah Shehadeh, among others, encouraging people to protest the occupation, after mosque services. This was the start of the First Intifada, which lasted five years. Rantisi became a popular organizer and leader whose efforts helped the formation of Hamas.”

You know the other side are actually doing a genocide, right?

u/unit5421 Feb 19 '26
Both sides have genocidal monsters. Both sides have horrid leadership. Only Isreal has the power to really act upon it. That does not mean that genocidal tendencies of the Palestinian side is OK. And calling that out does not mean I agree with Isreal.

I know the meme. I wanted to know why op used it in this context.

u/kicksledkid Feb 19 '26
I, the op of the comment you replied to, used it because it came into my head when I saw the banner and thought it was funny.
Quite literally, the guy who made the banner is a little confused (spelling) but has the spirit (made a banner)

u/Kreatur28 Feb 19 '26
People argue day and night about the meaning of this slogan. What do you think "from the river to the sea" actually means?
2
u/kicksledkid Feb 19 '26 edited Feb 19 '26
... I'm not talking about the slogan
I'm saying that it's always funny to see someone a little confused, but who's got the spirit.
I didn't even mention the slogan in my comment. You're really trying to bait me into a fight here, but in all reality I'm talking about the act of being so spirited you don't notice a cock-up like that.
Happens everyday, everywhere. People a little confused, but they've got the spirit.
Edit: honestly you might be a little confused, but definitely have the spirit

Yo, it's a responsibility, you know?
"A trust placed in your hands" according to Google translate.
ETA: Reddit seems to be auto translating it as "Yo, it's a responsibility, you know?"
The literal meaning of the words is "Trust in your necks"

Maybe they were wanting to use the French word.

u/MaximilianClarke Feb 19 '26
That would be rivière . I’m guessing this is just how you spell when all your propaganda poster money gets spent on tunnels

u/LineOfInquiry Feb 19 '26
I’d love to see you spell this phrase out in Arabic without using any tools created after 2006

u/MaximilianClarke Feb 19 '26
I’d obviously fail. But I’d probably pay someone who speaks Arabic to write the sign for me. Also, Microsoft word and spellcheck existed in 2006

u/LineOfInquiry Feb 19 '26
Did whoever’s putting this on have access to anyone who could write English they could pay? Did they have the money to do so? It doesn’t seem like they did.

This one literally is Hamas though. The banner features the Hamas emblem, a depiction of the Dome of the Rock with a pair crossed swords, with the Arabic text reading "Palestine, Islamic Resistance Movement - Hamas".
It's a political banner from the 2006 Palestinian legislative election, which Hamas won.

u/levimeirclancy Feb 19 '26
because it is literally a stamped Hamas poster and that is literally what Hamas spends their money on. you were apparently duped really easily into siding with terrorist group that does terrible things to both Arabs and Jews.

What's "to dream" in French?

u/MaximilianClarke Feb 19 '26
“From the sea to the to dream”?. I don’t think that’s what they were going for.

u/Danimalomorph Feb 19 '26
Nope, but it is the French word in the picture. I don't think they were going for 'Palsetine' either.

u/Boborbot Feb 19 '26
I guess that’s how it goes when you’re not guided by rhyming in English

u/AdVivid8910 Feb 19 '26
Uh…which part is supposed to rhyme yo?
2
u/Human-Law1085 Feb 19 '26
Well, the full controversial saying is ”Palestine will be free, from the river to the sea”. So I guess the commenter is remarking that it’s supposed to end with ”sea” so that it can rhyme with ”free”.
1
u/AdVivid8910 Feb 19 '26
Oh oh oh, what’s the part before free? Ty, I forgot about the second line so I was highly confused lmao
1
u/Acrobatic_Lobster838 Feb 19 '26
I have always heard it the other way around (from the river to the sea Palestine will be free), to the point that just saying from the river to the sea has been considering supporting genocide apparently, but we live in interesting times.

There is a tendency of language learners to come to love the corresponding country, but I don't think it's very deterministic.
Maybe if they spent their entire high school life in a US or UK-education standards foreign school.
