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.
There is no civil war. They is israeli backed gangs fighting Hamas

Do you realize that there is non Jewish Israeli? You seems really antisemitic to me
Do you realize that Palestinians are not a monolith with no disagreements? Yet you expect the Israelis (including Arab Israelis, apparently) are behind the in-fighting. I suppose Israel promoted the Hamas takeover of Gaza too.
Netanyahu himself admitted that he is backing gangs
And Iran backs Hamas. That doesn’t mean there aren’t disagreements amongst Palestinians that lead to Arab on Arab violence. They do have free will over there, too.
I won’t let you deflect from the fact that Israel is arming many gangs in Gaza by Netenyahu admission.
Arab to arab violence remind me of the racist rhetoric of black on black violence to deflect from discrimination against them and police brutslity.
Thank you for proving that you are a disgusting racist
Who’s deflecting? Your claim went beyond that Israel is arming factions in Gaza which oppose Hamas. You claimed there is no civil war. That claim presupposes that the current fighting is only between Israel and Gaza, not between factions within Gaza.
My position is that outside groups are funding sides in the civil conflict, but those conflicts transcend a battle of Israel vs. Iran.
The racist side is the one that thinks Palestinians all think the same way, and that only Israelis are the source of any conflicts between Palestinians.
The genociders left their collaborators dead in the water when they withdrew. And this was the inevitable outcome.
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.
Can’t read the article without starting a free trial
Thanks
Hit reader mode real quick at the beginning and you can.
Works for most paywall
A good portion of smaller sites. Bigger ones have taken to just giving a small snippet of the article at the paywall now.
Timing the read mode before loading the pop-up works with some bigger sites too, but at point you’re better off looking for archive links.
I’ll try that,thanks
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.
Nobody like Israeli backed gang
