You routinely ignore any sources that contradict IDF propaganda or is critical of Israel and immediately discredit them as misinformation. Would you even believe reports made by Israeli Veterans themselves?
No I just see this person posting Hamas propaganda constantly on Lemmy and do not believe a single statement yet make. Their lies have been proven countless times already.
Strange you just tend to run away whenever evidence is presented.
You're the one here calling all women and children Hamas without evidence by the way.
Ah yes, twisting my words and claiming I "run away" great tactics to prove your superiority.
Last I checked the words "some" and "all" do not mean the same thing. Do you want me to provide evidence from a dictionary or is that not biased enough towards Hamas for you?
OK so let me get this straight:
I say Hamas killing children is bad, but in total only 36 out of the 1139 deaths (3%) were children.
Ten times lower than the 1/3 child demographic in israel.
So this suggests Hamas mostly took precaution not to kill children (these stats are even excluding friendly fire by the IDF). They did kill children, and that was certainly bad. But it did not seem to be an order from the top down nor their battle strategy because many Hamas fighters did not kill children.
You on the other hand are actually calling on the IDF to kill every Palestinian child because they are supposedly all Hamas.
You are the only one defending the killing of children.
Again with the lies. I never made such statement. Instead you rather twist every word into the most vile of things. You can't defend your own opinions without such deception. It's why I have no respect for someone like you that resorts to such pathetic tactics.
Every word you say is full of lies and twisted truths. That's the definition of propaganda.
You mean sourced with evidence and links which you really seem to hate because then you can't lie anymore.
No I mean twisted lies and decit, which seems to be all you're capable of doing.
I guess you'd have to point out what misinformation you're talking about.
When it comes to human shields, the only independent verification back in 2014 is of Weapons (not rockets) hidden at a vacant school, situated btwn 2 UNRWA schools housing displaced people, by a Palestinian armed group. The Guardian journalists had encountered a couple individuals in 2014 too. Yet none of those come remotely close to making hospitals and schools bombing targets. Even if all the IDF claims were true, that does not exempt those hospitals and schools as protected under international law.
And let's just conveniently ignore how much the IDF uses human shields while we're at it
And no, official US and NATO investigations do not count as independent verification. They routinely use IDF as their sources for such claims without hesitation. To the point where even Biden parrots completely fabricated claims that even the IDF has to quickly walk back, such as the 40 beheaded babies.
The people of Gaza are literally being starved, dehydrated, and bombed to death along with any public infrastructure that could help. Why are we focusing on this instead of how we can get Israel to stop? They are the ones in power, that is the reality of an apartheid state holding a permanent occupation. Without any occupation there is no resistance to the occupation.
Calling for 1 side to stop does not end a conflict. Calling for Hamas to release the hostages and surrender would help this conflict end.
Calling terrorists resistance and destroying all meaning of the word apartheid does not help your cause either.
Hamas hasn't been the one rejecting a ceasefire for hostage deal. But the irony of those two sentences right next to each other is pretty funny lol.
I'm going to be charitable and assume you don't know the history of life under Israeli occupation nor how the apartheid in South Africa ended. The resistance in South Africa was also labeled as terrorists, Should they have surrendered too? Would that have ended the apartheid?
Bombing and worsening already terrible material conditions doesn't solve terrorism, it's the improvement of material conditions that make terrorism fade away
Your links are super outdated. That ceasfire already happened, and Hamas didn't get their wish to free thousands of terrorists for a few hostages.
You know what improves material conditions? Having water pipes in the ground and used for transporting water. You know what doesn't? Ripping out water pipes and using them to make rockets that are launched at civilian population centers. That's what terrorists do.
Also, don't assume things. You'll often find yourself wrong.
Uhuh, that was a 'humanitarian pause' not a ceasefire. Israel had full intention to resume bombing Gaza. I'm talking about an actual ceasefire. I gave you recent links too.
Like how Israel controls all aspects of water in Gaza and the West Bank?
Or that Palestinians are subject only to Martial Law, Military Court, and Torture
Maybe you should stop assuming the lived experience of Palestinians, they deserve emancipation. Always happy to provide resources for you to learn more
