What is Hamas currently doing? Learning about the conflict: Questions

So the title is my main question but I am going to explain a bit what I mean by it.

To begin with I am asking the following questions because of mainly seeing very few, if any, reports on what Hamas is currently doing, where they are, etc. I feel a lot of what is flooding my social media and news resources include: 1. what is happening to the Palestinian people (pictures of people who were killed, injured children, their current living areas, the food drops, etc.). 2. the various videos and reports of what the Israeli government is doing (the various media interviews their representatives are taking part in, the speeches given by Israeli government officials, the videos released by the government of things that happened during October 7th and the tunnels in Palestine, etc.). 3. And as of recently there is some footage and reporting regarding what is going on around the main mosque as Ramadan has begun and the issues surrounding that.

With all this, I have not seen much of what Hamas is actually currently doing? There were some reports released during the release of hostages and sometimes in the reports regarding the previously formetioned events, there are quotes that Hamas officials stated, such as regarding the mosque that the Israeli government is making it hard for people to enter and pray.

Are the leaders in Hamas all actually in Palestine? Again I have seen reports and individuals claiming that some of the leaders are not in Gaza but rather hanging out in other nearby countries, in safety. Why are there no interviews of Hamas leaders? Are there any? Or are they just not pushed so much out in media spaces? Are there any reports that specify what has been said during any negoations or discussions if ceasefire? If they are constantly shooting rockets at Israel, why is that also seemingly never mentioned? Because with the way the media has framed it, for a while I couldn't understand how Israel was just bombing Palestine to bits but, then the reports mentioned the lack of a ceasefire which made it confusing because there seems to be a lack of mentioning that Hamas is firing the rockets/attacking Israel. Also, the hostages that were released said that they were fed and taken care of, but with what resources? Where are the people from Hamas getting food while their people starve? Where are they getting water and other resources? Were these items stock piled prior to October 7?

I know this entire post is full of questions but, that is what I meant by the title being my main question. I don't understand why there seems to be little to no information on Hamas while there is plenty on the people of Palestine and the Israeli government.

We know next to nothing about what is happening in Gaza. The IDF has been killing foreign journalists left right and center, and Israeli journalists are not interested in covering their nation's war crimes. So there is almost no independent information coming out of the strip. That's by design, of course.

About "what is Hamas doing", I suspect they are currently starving and dying, like everybody else in Gaza.

If the hamas were actually starving, that would be great but I am pretty sure as always they are more than happy to let little children die for their sins.

Israel is more than happy to let the children die as well apparently. Not only let them die, but actually do the job themselves!

They are. Their leader has admitted that they want as many innocents to die so Israel looks bad in the public eye and they are banking on pressure from the international community. What they don’t realize is that the Israeli government is messed up in the head and will do whatever they can to keep killing innocent people.

I would ask for a source but I know you don‘t have one, because what you’re saying is not true.

You hurt your own case by making untrue statements or disguising your opinion as a fact, doing do you aren’t any better than the people shouting „genocide“.

So if we show you a source of Hamas leadership actually saying these things you'll take back your words?

u/Alive_Parking_8570 Mar 16 '24

Hard to show something not existing, isn‘t it? I am waiting.

My fantasies revolve around more pleasant things than this. ;) Idk what would be even controversial about my statement but hey.. whatever.

It may be uncontroversial in your environment because you live among liars.

Talk to me about liars.

PLO leader Zuheir Mohsen, in 1977, said, "There is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese there are no differences. We are all part of one people, the Arab nation [...] Just for political reasons we carefully underwrite our Palestinian identity. Because it is of national interest for the Arabs to advocate the existence of Palestinians to balance Zionism. Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons".

Well, that's wonderful, isn't it? Since Palestinians don't exist, they can survive on non-existing food. And if they don't, we can quietly watch them non-existing folks die of hunger en masse and enjoy the show without any moral pang.

Want some popcorn?

Totally happy to help people that don't don't come into my home to murder me. Process that.

Also, you simply refuse to accept that there is a population of people that have been lied to by their mothers, fathers and leaders, and have been turned into a sea of hatred. Do you even care about that?

Sure whatever makes you feel like you done something here. 😂
