[Bias alert - #NYT usually favors Israel]By Lara Jakes, Fatima Abdul Karim, and Hiba Yazbek
Jan. 22, 2025 Updated 8:58 a.m. ET“Israel’s military said on Wednesday that it was pressing ahead with what it called a new counterterrorism operation in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, and Palestinian officials said that at least 10 people had been killed.”
“The Jenin battalion of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, an armed group loosely affiliated with Fatah, the political faction that controls the Palestinian Authority, said in a statement on social media that its fighters were engaged in “fierce clashes” with Israeli forces in several areas of Jenin and had detonated explosive devices.”

Bibi needs lebensraum
Isn’t a “Raid in the West Bank” the invasion of a foreign nation?
No, for multiple reasons:
- they’re cooperating with the palestinian authority, the official recognized palestinian leader. So it’s more like fighting against ISIS on iraqs territory.
- Hamas was the first to attack. So this is an “invasion” the same way the soviet union or britain “invaded” nazi germany
This is a very routine thing that happens.
I know Im questioning the phrasing.
They are working with the Palestinian Authority, which is generally recognized as the government of Palestine.
I did not see any mention of that in the article
The PA is generally recognized as the government for the West Bank and supposedly all of Palestine, however defacto they are just the extended arm of the Occupation. They have been assaulting resistance forces and civilians in Jenin throughout December already, murdering a Palestinian Journalist and torturing people, among other things.
The PA is part of the “we want a peaceful solution” facade that Israels allies placate, while manifesting the occupation and annexation further.
Im aware but I didnt see anything that said the PA acquiesced to this
Since 1967.
Well, no, you see Israel has a right to defend itself. And Hamas. Wait, shit, they’re in Gaza. Umm, security threats, obviously. And it’s clearly dangerous for Israeli settlers in the region. So that’s why the security forces were deployed. For security and safety. Ya know, Israel has a right to defend itself. /s
Fucking war criminals.
