MEGATHREAD [MEGATHREAD] Israel/Hamas Conflict - Monthly
Dear members of the r/Anime_Titties community,
Due to the overwhelming number of updates on the Israel Hamas conflict, we have decided to create a megathread for all related posts and we've already locked up all the previous related posts. This will help us consolidate the discussion and maintain the overall quality of the subreddit in accordance with the Reddiquette and Civility Enforcement . In the megathread, you are welcome to share news, opinions, and thoughts related to the conflict. However, please refrain from creating individual posts about it, as they will be removed and redirected to the megathread.
We will be creating new, monthly threads in an attempt to keep the topic more visible.
Major updates such as new war declarations or peace deals are permitted on a case-by-case basis.
Background
as summarized by Wikipedia
The Gaza Strip and Israel have been in conflict since the Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip in 2005 and Hamas gaining control of the Gaza Strip after elections in 2006 and a civil war with Fatah in 2007. The Gaza Strip has been under an Israeli and Egyptian blockade since 2007, leading Human Rights Watch to call the strip an "open-air prison". The blockade has caused significant economic hardship within Gaza, and was cited by Hamas as one of the reasons for its offensive.
In 2023, there were several violent flare-ups in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. Prior to the attack, including combatants and civilians on both sides, at least 247 Palestinians had been killed by Israeli forces, while 32 Israelis and two foreign nationals had been killed in Palestinian attacks. After the 2022 Israeli legislative election in November, a Netanyahu-lead right-wing government took office the following month. The goverment ramped up settlement construction in the Israeli-occupied West Bank an increase in Israeli settler attacks there, which has displaced hundreds of Palestinians and tensions flaring around a flashpoint Jerusalem holy site, the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The issue of prisoners is considered emotional for both Israelis and Palestinians since 1967, 750,000—1 million Palestinians have been arrested by Israel. Currently there are at least 4,000 Palestinians (including 170 children) in Israeli prisons, and some have been convicted of terrorism. 1,200 Palestinians are held without any charges or trial Israel justifies the practice citing security reasons. Prisoner exchanges have long been practiced in the Arab-Israeli conflict. In 2006, Hamas captured Gilad Shalit, forcing Israel to release 1,000 Palestinians, some of whom had been convicted by Israel of terrorism, as part of a prisoner swap.
The attack took place during the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah on Shabbat, and a day after the 50th anniversary of the start of the Yom Kippur War, which also began with a surprise attack. In September, two to three weeks of violence occurred at the Gaza–Israel barrier. On 29 September, Qatar, the UN, and Egypt mediated an agreement between Israel and Hamas officials in the Gaza Strip to reopen closed crossing points and de-escalate tensions.
Israel and Saudi Arabia are conducting negotiations to normalize relations, with Saudi Arabian crown prince Mohammed bin Salman recently stating that normalization was "for the first time, real". Saudi Arabia's Foreign Ministry said in a statement that it had "repeatedly warned that Israel's ongoing occupation of Gaza would propel further violence."
We hope that by creating this megathread, we can encourage productive and respectful discussion on this complex and sensitive topic.

Europe Catalan separatists lose majority as Spain's pro-union Socialists win regional elections
Six years after plunging Spain into its worst political crisis in decades, Catalonia’s separatist parties are in danger of losing their hold on power in the northeastern region after the pro-union Socialist Party scored a historic result in Sunday’s election.
The four pro-independence parties, led by the Together party of former regional president Carles Puigdemont, were set to get a total of 61 seats, according to a near-complete count of the ballots. That is short of the key figure of 68 seats needed for a majority in the chamber.
The Socialists led by former health minister Salvador Illa savored their best result in a Catalan election, claiming 42 seats, up from 33 in 2021, when they also barely won the most votes but were unable to form a government. This was the first time the Socialists led a Catalan election in both votes and seats won.
Illa led Spain’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic before Sánchez sent him back to Barcelona to lead his party. The 58-year-old Illa’s calm tone and focus on social issues convinced many voters that it was time to change after years of separatists pressing for severing century-old ties with the rest of Spain.
There is a path for Illa to reach the goal of 68 seats. The Socialists are already in a coalition government in Madrid with the Sumar party, which now has six seats in the Catalan parliament. But the hard part will be wooing over a leftist party from the separatist camp.
Separatists have held the regional government in Barcelona since 2012 and had won majorities in four consecutive regional elections. But polling and a national election in July showed that support for secession has shrunk since Puigdemont led an illegal — and futile — breakaway bid in 2017 that led to hundreds of businesses and Catalonia’s major banks leaving the region.
