Of course, 100%.

Copying what I replied to another comment - I’d rather wait for an official report from the UN or an investigative story from an unbiased news outlet like Reuters (to decide whether this is authentic or propaganda).

Disproved in the context of the claims.

You’re right, good catch.

It’s a very strange mistake to make on their part, I assume the IDF has many Arabic speakers.

It’ll be very interesting to see how everything else in the video will unfold.

I’d rather wait for an official report from the UN or an investigative story from an unbiased news outlet like Reuters.

It will probably be more reliable than the top comment.

I’m unfamiliar with that, can you share more info? What was the lie and how it was disproven?

They showed much more than that, including equipment, clothes and a motorcycle that are suspected to have been used in the 7/10 atrocities.

They do say that they are still investigating and going over the evidence, but show and make it clear that they did find weapons and a command post inside the hospital.

Regarding the planted comment - well, if that’s what you believe then it doesn’t really matter what they show, doesn’t it? You’ve already made up your mind and it doesn’t matter what the evidence show…

Unfortunately no winners here, as is with most wars.

You probably should.

Whether you agree or not, it’s always a good idea to hear both sides, otherwise there’s a good chance you’ll end up in an echo chamber.

If their story is fabricated it’ll fall apart very quickly.

Not that I know of, but it’s 5am there, so maybe later on.

Israel announced right at the start that its target is to eliminate Hamas and PIJ.

Since there are:

1. About 30,000-40,000 Hamas members in the Al-Qassam Brigades and
2. About 6,000 members in the PIJ and
3. Assuming 1 civilian casualty per 3 combative casualties

Then unless something substantial changes, the death toll is expected to rise to around 50k-60k . This is really just the beginning.

First of all, sarcasm bro

Sorry mate, so many layers and seriously made wild claims that it’s becoming really hard to detect…

While the phenomenon of blaming valid criticism as antisemitism exists, the counter claim which you made is now completely weaponised.

In this entire thread, you’re the only person that mentioned antisemitism and the vast majority of the comments are very one sided in criticising Israel.

Yeah, but unfortunately there are a lot of vile people on social media and some claiming to be Hamas contacted her mother saying that she survived and is being treated by them.

Israel found a piece of bone from her skull and they say that she couldn’t have survived.

The latest UN Document for Children and Armed Conflict report https://www.securitycouncilreport.org/atf/cf/{65BFCF9B-6D27-4E9C-8CD3-CF6E4FF96FF9}/S_2023_363.pdf , item 95 - identifies and calls to stop PIJ and Hamas from “killing and maiming and the recruitment and use of children”

This is the most official source on the matter.

Netanyahu is a political animal.

He doesn’t care about the hostages, the Palestinians and most of the Israelis. He just barely cares about some of them.

He has one and only one objective here - to win back the 50% votes that he lost because of the terror attack. He’s already blaming the army and those who protested against him, saying that this attack was made possible because of them. According to Israeli media he has PR advisors with him when selecting military objectives and targets to help him choose the best option that will win him the more votes back.

If this goes on I think that there’s a chance that we’ll see a military coup in Israel.

Don’t ask to be spoon fed information - that’s how you get incorrect and inaccurate info.

Here, a simple google search to start with https://www.google.com/search?q=gaza+children+soldiers

You keep attacking straw men.

There are children soldiers and Gaza. There are 16 and 17 years old (and younger) that have active combative roles. You don’t have to look far to find them, just go to the Hamas and Gaza social media profiles and see the profiles of their operatives.

It’s deplorable, it’s tragic, but it’s the reality.

I’m not redefining childhood and I’m not supporting killing of children. I do say that when reading these kind of reports you should be aware that they show only a part of the information.

So by avoiding any action you would allow them to fire the rocket.

I understand and respect that.

It’s a huge gray area and just one example of the complex morality component of this conflict.

Reasoning? Critical thinking? Logic? Seeing things as complex rather than one side is 100% correct and the other is 100% at fault? Answering to the point instead of bombastic statements or disinformation aimed to trigger emotional responses?

Stop behaving like a fanatic.

I really couldn’t say in this case, and I’m very happy that I’m not the one that has to make this choice . Quite a few soldiers in conflict areas lost their lives because they couldn’t either.

And while at it, could you please clarify the morality of killing kids in their beds by bombing the houses they are living in?

Read my first sentence in the original message.

So the terrorist designation all depends on the point of view and who’s in charge

There’s point of view and there is the international law. The legal terms is that the IDF is a country’s military and as such it is expected to uphold international treaties, it is held to high standards and it receives a lot scrutiny when it goes out of line or makes mistakes. Hamas is a terror organisation and therefore none of this applies to it, but also killing its operatives is not considered murder or a war crime.

If you’re asking for my personal opinion - it’s about intent. Organisations that have the clear intentions to kill and hurt as many civilians as possible are clearly terrorist organisations. Internationally recognised organisations that do not and try to minimise civilians casualties are not. Everything in between is a case by case gray area.

I can’t attest to what the average person in Gaza thinks, but I reckon after 20 years of Hamas rule a lot of the people are already indoctrinated and their world view, specifically regarding Jewish people, is at least somewhat detached from reality. This is clearly reflected in the pro Palestinian Arabic social media profiles.
