Recently published handwritten documents by former Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar detail preparations for the October 7, 2023, attack.
The documents, attributed to Sinwar's own handwriting, outline plans to breach the Israel-Gaza border at 25 locations simultaneously using around 10,000 fighters. The reported plans included overrunning Israeli communities and military bases, taking hostages, cutting off major roads, and anticipating Israel's military response.
The documents suggest that Hamas's leadership knowingly pursued a strategy that risked triggering a devastating regional conflict, ultimately leaving Gaza's civilian population to bear the overwhelming consequences.
the plans reflect a willingness to sacrifice the well-being of Palestinians in pursuit of Hamas's military objectives.
“I liked when you weren’t so political.”
Yeah, and I liked back when Europe and the USA didn’t have so many doctors and engineers enriching our culture from Africa, the Middle East and jungle Asian countries.
This is because the anti-capitalist left is not actually against people being crazy rich. They're against certain types of people being crazy rich.
Artists and athletes make sense to them because they've played music and sports and because their success can be explained by "luck" and "talent". Messi's wealth is not offensive to them because they understand Messi is much better at football than they are.
But when it comes to business, the anti-capitalist leftist has no framework for understanding why Jeff Bezos might be super rich since 99% of them have never ever created a product, business or service that was of value to other people. They've never taken entrepreneurial risk. They've never employed people and felt the burden of responsibility that comes with that. They've never pick up a business and given it a play in the way they've picked up a ball or a guitar.
They *literally* don't understand wealth creation. They think there is a fixed amount of money and the only thing a business does is split it unfairly.
It's why they rage at Elon and other successful business leaders. Because they genuinely don't understand why they're wealthy.
Also, and this is just as important, athletes and artists are disproportionately young, attractive, "diverse", left wing etc. Business leaders are "evil" middle aged white men whose success offends the average anti-capitalist leftist because they don't understand a) what it is they do and b) that Elon Musk has the same talent advantage on them as Messi does, it's just harder to measure.
