Egypt, Qatar, America, and Israel have been asking Hamas for a simple list of hostage names for weeks with no answer. What’s with that? It doesn’t hurt them to provide a list of names. Is it possible Hamas doesn’t even know how many are alive?
Tell me about the rights of Jews in any of the surrounding Arab countries first. They don’t have any either, where they weren’t forcibly expelled.
Comparing pre-war Gaza to the Warsaw ghetto is so fucking outlandish that I know you’ve never actually read about it. You probably read that on Twitter and have been parroting it back. I won’t argue with you on there being apartheid, but let’s lay off the extreme hyperbole.
And as for what they were supposed to do? Maybe lay off the terrorism and take one of the several deals they get offered once a decade. They could’ve had statehood with a fucking elevated highway connecting Gaza to the West Bank, but they turned that down. Defending a 9/11 scale terrorist attack on the basis of “what else should they have done” is frankly unconscionable.
You’re confusing a political justification for war against a terrorist organization with a racial justification for genocide. There are millions of arabs living in Israel, and they aren’t being killed. Not everything is systemic racism.
And as far as your history goes you’re missing a bunch of wars the surrounding Arab countries declared on Israel. This isn’t a simple “white people bad” situation.
Nobody is saying this. It’s kind of racist to even assume people are, actually.
Hamas raped a bunch of people on October 7th and the far left can’t handle that without making it a systemic race issue. That’s pretty fucked up.
DNA evidence, fingerprints, blood, etc are all “credible circumstantial information”. It’s a common category of evidence, encompassing pretty much everything except direct testimony.
This is completely, utterly uncontroversial, except by a subset of the extreme far left at war with reality. Let’s see where the downvote ratio ends up.
Hamas will refuse.
Do we have clarity on whether the shooting caused the stampede, or vice versa? I thought the former, but this source is alleging something a bit more nuanced.
The title is “guns down thousands”. That means directly shoots thousands, not 20 in a giant crowd.
Many of the casualties in the chaos that erupted in Gaza at a food distribution site were killed as a result of aid trucks ramming people as people tried to escape Israeli fire, according to a local journalist in Gaza, Khadeer Al Za’anoun.
Al Za’anoun, who was at the scene and witnessed the incident, told CNN that, though there were large crowds waiting for food to be distributed from aid trucks, the chaos and confusion that led to trampling only started once Israeli soldiers opened fire.
“Most of the people that were killed were rammed by the aid trucks during the chaos and while trying to escape the Israeli gunfire,” he said.
He said that around 20 were killed directly by the gunfire, and the rest were killed under the aid trucks’ wheels.
CNN says 20 people were shot, triggering a stampede that killed a lot more. Where did this site get “thousands”?
You know Hamas won that election, right? I don’t support it, but if there was ever a time to rig an election, that was it.
You did not read correctly:
Israel says it will establish 15 camp villages… Each with 25000 tents
It would be about 3 to a tent. I doubt any of this is real though unless Israel has half a million tents laying around.
Regarding Al-Shifa hospital, there is video of Hamas taking some hostages inside, and widespread reporting of Hamas previously using part of the facility for interrogation/torture of civilians. That, in conjunction with the tunnel evidence, makes it a reasonable target for Israel to take control of (i.e. not a war crime). Personally I doubt the tunnel constitutes a command center. A method for discreetly bringing in captives makes more sense.
Yes, if a dog attacks you can shoot it. That’s true pretty much everywhere.
Why in the fuck is this considered world news?
This is a ski shop that posted a sign saying they won’t do business with Jews, due to a Jewish person stealing a sled.
Replace ‘Jew’ with any other ethnic group here and it’s clearly not okay, but I’m sure other commenters will make an exception.
Well to use your analogy here, let’s say a weed grow operation steals your electricity by plugging extension cords into several outlets and running them through open windows. Further let’s say this goes on for years with you living in the house. At a certain point it strains credulity to believe that you aren’t in on it.
Something similar seems to have happened here. It doesn’t implicate the UNRWA as a whole, but it certainly raises questions about the employees at this location.
Sure agreed if they didn’t know, but it seems like there was at least a Hamas cell inside the UNRWA that did:
Inside one of the UNRWA buildings, journalists saw a room full of computers with wires stretching down into the ground. Soldiers then showed them a room in the underground tunnel where they claimed the wires connected.
This article seems to allege electrical and communication cables were run through the ground between the UNRWA headquarters and the tunnel network?
If true they buried the lede here. Idgaf where the tunnels are - when you dig a miles long tunnel, it’ll go under a lot of unrelated buildings. If however the headquarters was serving as a communication relay and power supply, then that’s pretty damning.
Her dissenting opinion is here. It’s quite thorough, and while reasonable people could disagree on each point (myself included), I didn’t find anything overtly biased in her analysis. Paragraphs 22 - 30 are the bulk of her analysis. Chiefly she cited 3 concerns:
Seems like they goosed their numbers here for a headline. Tension headaches aren’t well understood, but they’re generally not neurological.
