No, this goes back further. The first US nuclear weapons arrived in Lakenheath in 1954. There was a continuous presence of American nukes in the UK until 2008.
how Hamas was eventually created
You mean how it's an off-shoot of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood?
Haven't watched the second one (not sure if I ever will), but I'm definitely stealing that.
Or populate a comment section on lemmy.

I knew comments here would be terrible, but you managed to limbo even under my extremely low expectations. Well done.
Maybe it's intentional. I remember reading that spam mails with lots of mistakes in them filter out everyone but the intended target audience of idiots who fall for them. This is Turkey's state propaganda outlet, basically their Al Jazeera, so it's not that far-fetched to think that they are filtering out people who are naive enough to post and upvote this garbage publication.
The URLs are different, the old URL (the first one) now redirects to the new, backdated blog post.
That one isn't that much better either, by the way. "[P]owerful armed reaction of the oppressed Palestinians" is most definitely positive wording - and it makes it sound like Hamas are part of this group of oppressed Palestinians, even though lots of pro-Palestine people like to separate the two. Not BDS though - for them, Hamas and all other Palestinians are apparently one and the same.
I got really indifferented, because I don't even remember the plot of the first film anymore. Also because it's the triple-whammy of awfulness, a mobile MMO by Tencent.
It doesn't misrepresent their movement. They have always had close ties to terrorist groups, have a long history of releasing antisemitic statements and the entire idea behind it is nothing but a rehash of this, just under the guise of anti-Zionism:

There's a reason the German parliament voted to designate BDS as an antisemitic hate group in 2019. We have learned a thing or two about how to identify these sorts of things.
You reference the birthrate of Palestinians followed by the subtle inclusion of the pronoun “them” or “these people” to indicate exclusion, isolation, and a removal of identity.
I used these pronouns in order to prevent the repetition of words. Seriously, you are grasping at straws.
you imply
No, you read into it what you want to read into it in order to achieve maximum personal outrage.
You argue that it is reasonable
No, I describe the status quo and what is happening and why it is likely to continue. At no point am I supporting injustices like indefinite detention and if you go back in my comment history, you will find examples of me explicitly condemning these practices. In one of the comments you made a screenshot of I call these measures cruel. Does this look like me calling those things reasonable?
I don't even know what to say to your pseudo-intellectual attempt to somehow link what I wrote to a Jewish terrorist group and their relationship with Nazis. I mean, feel free to write an essay on this elsewhere, but I fail to see any connection with the topic at hand.
You paint Hamas as common thieves for having the audacity to sell HEBREW ARTIFACTS as though they have no right to even touch such holy relics from a superior culture.
Again, you are remarkably creative in your liberal interpretations of what I wrote. I mentioned Hebrew artifacts to illustrate the absurdity of Palestinians claiming that they are the indigenous people of the land and as to Hamas selling them, 1) I wonder if some of them realize that what they are doing does nothing but undermine their positions and 2) no matter if it's Hebrew, Roman or Martian, it's still disturbing historic sites, preventing us from learning more about our shared past as a species. To quote that famous archaeologist with the whip, dashing hat and a talent for beating up Nazis: "It belongs in a museum!"
You also fail to mention that Israel has repeatedly destroyed cultural heritage sites
I'm not in the both-sideism business. I've got a hunch that you aren't either, except when you think it suits you.
continuously attempts to rewrite history by dead-naming
You are not grasping at straws with me, but also with entire countries. When nation states assume control of an area, they tend to give places names that the predominate group in that state can pronounce and write down. Jenin for example was originally called Gina, then Ein-Ganim and Beth-Hagan before getting its current name, based on the original Canaanite name, as the result of Arab conquest. Are you just as angry with all of these past people for renaming places as well?
Beyond all this though, I find you to be ethically bankrupt, bigoted, hypocritical
And I only need one word to describe you: Hysterical.
I can only advice to look out of the window for a second, maybe go for a walk, look at some trees swaying in the wind, listen to the birds sing and then evaluate how you are conducting yourself, how you are treating your fellow human beings, how you are accusing others you know nothing about in the most vile ways. Do you see a person frowning in public and immediately think that this person must be the worst human being in the world? That's what you are doing here. It's kind of sad to see someone who has such a good grasp of the English language waste it on going on a wild diatribe based on the worst interpretations of what others are writing, compelled by an almost religious desire to communicate to the world just how morally upstanding they are. I only wish that you become a better person and grow out of this eventually. Oh, and consider asking people about what they are actually thinking before assuming the role of a moral judge, jury and executioner based on nothing but your vivid imagination.
Your link is different.
Blaming this on an "angry Zionist hacker" is at best conspiratorial thinking. BDS deleted these remarks after being called out for them and then prevented the Wayback Machine from storing captures of this particular URL:
Notice how other captures are not excluded:
https://web.archive.org/web/20240000000000/bdsmovement.net/
There is no capture of your altered link from before October 12 (and this site gets crawled almost every day):
They backdated this more palatable blog entry to October 8 and deleted the original - and then they went on to remove the evidence, but not before people noticed and took screenshots. Here's another screenshot:
https://i.imgur.com/t5EVRHB.png
The only people who can prevent the storing of captures of their sites on the Wayback Machine are site owners themselves. Explain to me why they would want exclude this particular capture? If it was "evil Zionist hackers", wouldn't they want to preserve the evidence and specifically mention this particular manipulation? Why would hackers alter the URL, which destroys links from other sites and social media? Wouldn't "Zionist hackers" want other sites to lead to the damaging statement? None of this makes any sense.
Explain to me which of these comments you so generously provided screenshots of is evidence of my support for any of these things?
You can't actually see who is shooting her. Hamas have consistently prevented civilians from fleeing dangerous areas, including with violence.
This group openly supports violence against civilians:
Burning the house down instead of cleaning up your room has never been a viable strategy.
Because you can never be too careful. Yes, it's almost certainly not a problem, but don't tempt fate. Biden is the best choice by a country mile, for everyone involved. This doesn't mean he's perfect, he most certainly isn't, but neither is any other politician in all of human history. Vote for the least flawed of the leading two candidates in your system. Doing anything else - third party, abstaining - only benefits fascists.
Like I said to the other user, only 2% of voters consider Israel the most important issue. It's not gonna swing 80k people against a candidate as controversial as Trump.
I am also really not buying that genocide accusation (and shouting the word doesn't help your case). It doesn't hold up to scrutiny.
So far, percentage-wise Israel has killed fewer Palestinians in Gaza than Hamas did in the communities they invaded. This doesn't bring any life back and every innocent person killed remains a tragedy, but it is important to see the whole picture.
Hamas terrorists killed ten percent of the population of these small kibbutzes within a day, whereas Israel killed 1.2% of the people in Gaza over the course of more than three months (this 1.2% number includes Hamas fighters - it's not just civilians). Keep in mind that Hamas only had access to small arms and drones for the massacres they committed, yet they caused significantly more deaths percentage-wise. To me at least, this signifies a massive difference in both intent and conduct. Israel, with its powerful weaponry, could have killed far more Palestinians if they actually wanted to, if this was their actual intent. They are, in terms of military capabilities, entirely capable of killing every last man, woman and child in Gaza within a few weeks at most (or a few seconds, if they don't mind breathing in some fallout). Yet they clearly didn't.
If genocide really was their intent, then why are they still issuing at the very least some warnings to civilians? Why did they protect an evacuation corridor with their lives, against Hamas attacks on both IDF soldiers and the civilians trying to flee? This doesn't make any sense.
The long-term genocide accusation makes even less sense. Since 1960, the Palestinian population as increased almost five times - compared to four times the Israeli population. Before this war, Palestinians had a life expectancy that was three years above the average for Arab nations. Neither high birth rates nor high life expectancy are typical of any actual genocide in history.
The very worst one can accuse Israel as a country of is that some politicians in the government coalition are running their mouths wild with revenge fantasies against the entire Palestinian people for the October 7 attack. They should be punished for it, at the very least lose their jobs and ideally their freedom, but the conduct of the IDF as a whole does thankfully not reflect the rhetoric of these politicians. That's not to say that the IDF is perfect, far from it. It is almost a certainty that individual units have committed atrocities. This is an unfortunate reality of war, similar to how e.g. ISAF soldiers have committed atrocities in Afghanistan, even though their mission as a whole was most certainly not. I do believe that the IDF is no different in this regard, that atrocities are the exception, not the rule. The IDF's mission in Gaza is to free hostages and destroy Hamas capability of both ruling the strip and attacking Israel. It is perfectly fine to discuss how this army goes about achieving this goal and how it should best proceed, but it is not fine to throw, despite a complete absence of evidence, the accusation at it that their actual mission is to eradicate all Palestinians.
You can't have freedom from an aggressive warmongering nation with nukes without a nuclear deterrent. Hate the language all you want, there is no alternative to this in today's world.
