So have they released proof of the complex tunnel network and Hamas headquarters under the hospital yet?

All I've seen is a hole that looks like it goes into someone's basement and some guns they planted. ๐Ÿ™„

TL;DW'es

because they built it.

"It's already known for many years that they have in the bunkers that originally was built by Israeli contractors underneath Shifa were used as a command post of the Hamas".

This is the main part of the quote from former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. The host of this video had already been making this claim well before, however this may be the first time in recent public statements that an Israeli politician has publicly admitted the fact. The first half of the video is excellent, after that they kind of lose focus and start talking in generalised statements (not that they're necessarily wrong, they just stop talking about specific events).


Here is a video of the rhetoric surrounding the tunnels being dissected by the Majority Report with Sam Seder.

Basically 10 minutes of talking heads discussing the clip in the first video, which was already discussed for 6 minutes there. They spend the first 4 minutes leading up to actually playing the 2 minute clip, then the last 4 minutes jerking themselves off and mocking his slow speech in his 2nd language, with a dash of Trump impressionisms.


The first video is more worth watching than the 2nd, imo, but both devolve into some form of rhetoric, rather than criticising specific examples.

Talking heads belong in voodoo, not in news.

I'm aware but tbh unless that's actually connected to a wider tunnel network it's still just a large basement.

A basement Israel built and then subsequently used as justification for war crimes. Oorah!

I'm sure once they've had time to build a "Hamas command center" they'll show us pictures to prove that their war crimes were justified.

And perhaps they also find Saddam's WMDs next to it. /s
