    No shock here. A majority of the world is on a stance of “anything/anyone against the state of Israel is antisemitism”. This is such a false equivalency. Just because something/someone is against what the government of Israel, does not mean it/they are hateful towards the Jewish people. Hell, making such an equivalency is placing actually Jewish people in an unintended hate group.

      Majority of the government in the West. I am sure if you start reading news from arabic media you will see a completely different story.

      The problem is that international law is applied differently based on the country abusing it. And Israel is trying to shape the news perspective, by its bot army in English speaking of outlets and pushing hard a media campaign trying to discredit everyone who is not acting according to their interest.

      Their foreign minister is posting some despicable videos and trying to link Spain and Hamas and claim that Spain is complicit in war crimes is nothing but despicable and shows the morale of all their government.

        I fully believe you (and I can’t believe I’m asking for this) but do you have a source

        wait so, why would you believe someone and then ask for a source?

        Why not just like, ask for a source? You can ask someone for a source while still believing them, you might just want more information for example.

          1-Because I’ve had some people online get real defensive when I’ve asked for sources

          2-Cause I was a few shots deep by that point so I just kinda say things

            i mean i get it, but that should show someone elses character more than yours.

            2-Cause I was a few shots deep by that point so I just kinda say things

            fair enough honestly

          There’s no repercussions.

          Almost all major western propaganda outlets claimed they saw photo and video evidence of rape. Something that we now know is a massive lie since the UN investigation showed there was zero evidence only oral testimonies.

      I just listened to this, it’s actually a bit before your timestamp, but based on the context of the conversation there having, it seems like they’re talking about actually seeing the dead Palestinian kids. When she says “them” it seems to me like she’s saying we’ve now actually seen decapitated kids, whereas as before we only had hearsay

        Thanks, I’ll re-listen and edit. I certainly don’t want to cast an unwarranted aspergion.

        Edit: You’re absolutely correct, the dialog required careful attention. I’ll fix my post.

    Surely this baby will be the one that tips libs off that this may in fact be a genocide, right? Or do we have to wait for more for them to wake up?

    man, it’s almost like hyper politicized, hyper-narrative stories. Don’t actually do much, or something.

    Wondering how long it’s going to take the media, and people to realize that war is just, bad. Wait until you guys find out what russia has done to their domestic population, as well as ethnic minority groups, and prisoners. Remember the sledge hammer video? Yeah, me too.

    Where can I find the actual video of the decapitations? It looks like uploads might be taken down? Tons of tweets saying it’s everywhere on the internet, but I don’t use Twitter and I can’t find any uploads.

      As someone who watched the video, I don’t think anyone in that situation cares about your distinction.

          I’ve seen enough shock images posted online for a lifetime already. The audio from the witness on NPR’s Up First was enough.

      No they aren’t.

      Decapitate is used in the definition of behead.

      Behead is used in the definition of decapitate. What kind of weird-ass apologia are you doing here anyway.

      You’re trying to deflect from a story about murdered Palestinian children with a “Well, ackchyually…”

      What a piece of shit

      Thanks for informing us. Of course you know this isn’t the most important thing about this, but at least I learned something new.

      I’m not sure how material the difference is, but you’re correct: beheading is deliberate decapitation. I assume they’re just being sloppy about definitions.

        I’m pretty sure that dropping a 2000lb bomb on a refugee camp is deliberate.
