If Israel was a #democracy then #Haniyeh would be the leader of the opposition, not dead
If #Israel was a democracy everybody in territory controlled by Israel's government could vote on who gets to be the government
If Israel was a democracy they world not mass execute any political movement
"Just as we did with #Haniyeh, [Yahya] #Sinwar, and [Hassan] #Nasrallah in #Tehran, #Gaza, and #Lebanon, we will do so in Hodeida and #Sanaa," he said, referring to #Hezbollah and #Hamas leaders who have all been killed this year."

Since #Israel assassinated #Hamas top leader Ismail #Haniyeh in an #extraterritorial strike inside #Iran, there has been pressure on #Qatar (where Haniyeh lived in luxury), to eject other Hamas representatives from there.
Now #US is accusing the group of rejecting the #Gaza #ceasefire and hostage deal and saying it will no longer accept Hamas presence in Qatar.
[Aside: Can #India say it will no longer accept the presence of #Khalistan #secessionists in #Canada? 
]
>> simply pointing out that India is a shithole country… currently under the control of a #rightWing asshole
Yup, US was under such an asshole in 2016, might soon be again. How about prospects of Pierre #Poilievre as Canadian PM? Is he a right wing asshole?
>> [Modi] who seems to think it's OK to send hit squads to murder citizens of another country. You're OK with that?
As long as we're OK with US extraterritorial killing of #binLaden, #Israel killing of #Haniyeh, why not?
>> in a massive embarrassment, #Trudeau admits #Canada had no hard proof of #India’s involvement in #Nijjar’s killing.
Related: #US charges #Indian national in #Sikh #separatist Gurpatwant Singh #Pannun's murder plot
That's not the same kind of accusation that #Canada's #Trudeau levied against #India, the country (not just an individual) — and that too without offering any proof.
West doesn't complain about #Israel's #extraterritorial killing of #Haniyeh
#Hezbollah leader Hassan #Nasrallah killed
This is hugely momentous! Of same consequence as #Hamas chief #Haniyeh killed in #Iran earlier this year.
He is the "most powerful target to be killed by Israel in weeks of intensified fighting with #Hezbollah. …Several top Hezbollah commanders were killed along with Nasrallah in a powerful airstrike Friday. The military said it carried out a precise airstrike while Hezbollah leadership met at their HQ near #Beirut"
"In 1948, Palestinian leadership rejected the Partition Plan, which also encompassed an opportunity for statehood. In 2000, under Prime Minister Ehud Barak, the Chairman of the Palestinian Authority, Yasser Arafat, again rejected an offer of statehood. Finally, as referenced by #Haniyeh, in 2008, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud #Abbas rejected a land-for-peace offer."

#US charges #Hamas leader #Sinwar and other militants in connection with #Oct7 including conspiracy to murder U.S. nationals and conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction
Sinwar is now wanted by both US and #Israel
Originally filed under seal in Feb to give US time to try to nab then-Hamas leader, #Haniyeh, it was unsealed after execution of 6 hostages, incl one American, Hersh Goldberg-Polin, by Hamas, and as US develops a new #ceaseFire and #hostage deal proposal

No retaliation to @israel@a.gup.pe assassinations in foreign countries:
An Arab diplomat from the Gulf said: “@iran@a.gup.pe desperately wants an off-ramp”.
An expert said: “The fact is that very significant figures in Iran have argued against responding. By their narrative, Netanyahu wants to burn the region down and pull the US into a wider war. Why should Iran fall into the trap?”
“The blood of the women, children and elderly […] we are the ones who need this blood, so it awakens within us the revolutionary spirit.”
#Haniyeh was recently assassinated in #Tehran. Despite his monstrous deeds over the decades, some prominent media lamented the passing of what they called a “moderate."

"Threatened by a moderate Iranian president, Israel is pulling him into a fight"
By Lior Sternfeld: https://www.972mag.com/pezeshkian-israel-iran-haniyeh-war/
"Unlike #Haniyeh, who was based in #Qatar, and acted as Hamas’s chief representative abroad, #Sinwar has been based in #Gaza since his release from an Israeli prison in 2011 as part of a prisoner exchange. In Gaza, Sinwar, whom the U.S.designated a terrorist in 2015, served as Hamas’s politburo from 2013 until 2017, when he became the movement’s leader in Gaza. Sinwar is one of Hamas’s longtime military commanders. Israel regards him as the ultimate mastermind of."#Oct7

Russia has cultivated closer ties with Iran since start of its war with #Ukraine
Killing of #Hamas leader Ismail #Haniyeh was intended to prolong #Gaza conflict, #Palestinian President Mahmoud #Abbas told #Russia's #RIA state news agency.
NO. That has been one of #Israel's stated goal from the very beginning, when Hamas lunched surprise rocket attacks on #Oct7 killing #Israeli civilians.
