Israeli backed militias?
Some of them definitely. According to Dr HA Hellyer who was interviewed for the article:
“I keep hearing this from different people connected to the ground on Gaza that there’s a mini civil war brewing between Hamas and anti-Hamas figures,” he said.
“But the anti-Hamas figures aren’t people like the Palestinian Authority; the anti-Hamas figures are collaborationist forces with the Israelis."
“From what I’m hearing, Hamas seem to also be going after traditional families and traditional tribes that simply don’t want Hamas to be in charge, not because they’re getting support from the Israelis, but that they just don’t like Hamas.”
“But the anti-Hamas figures aren’t people like the Palestinian Authority; the anti-Hamas figures are collaborationist forces with the Israelis."
Implying the PA isn’t a collaborationist force, but also fucking ew.
Is this a legitimate question? There were collaborator gangs that Israel won’t defend on pull out.
There were collaborator gangs that Israel won’t defend on pull out.
I’m not sure why that should be an argument against the question. There are still people in Afghanistan who supported western militaries and to which visas were promised.
No argument here, I was only intending to inform if they weren’t aware.
They’re talking about the Popular Forces here, an ISIS-linked drug trafficking gang that collaborated with Israel during the genocide. Their leader, Yasser Abu Shabab, recently wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post, despite being illiterate. When the ceasefire was announced, Israel said they would not give give them any support or amnesty lol. Now they’re stuck in Gaza with Hamas hunting them down. Moral of the story is never become a collaborator, especially with western-backed regimes. You always end up being left hanging onto the last airplane as it takes off from Kabul.
Can’t read the article without starting a free trial
Thanks
Hit reader mode real quick at the beginning and you can.
I’ll try that,thanks
The genociders left their collaborators dead in the water when they withdrew. And this was the inevitable outcome.
There are Palestinians who don’t like Hamas or its policies. Hamas has been brutally oppressing all opposition since they came to power.
Yes, true, but the main driver of this round of infighting is ISIS-linked drug-trafficking Israeli collaborators. Holy evil bingo lmao.
