The wonders of living in an age where everyone has a cell phone.
No, its the wonder of living in an age where we have allowed trust in institutions and media to get to such a low level that we think linking a paragraph from any random fuckwhit makes an argument.
I couldn't care less about what talking heads (either in mainstream media or on Twitter) have to say about the conflict. Though the fact that all those "Trusted institutions" constantly used their passive cop voice when talking about Israel sure as hell didn't help in peoples trust.
You should, cause they are generally held to account for lies and such, but some random fuckwit can make up whatever they want and vanish into the cats and porn of the internet.
And then the IDF went and purposely attacked various other hospitals, and most people stopped obfuscating their attack on that one.
Did they bomb or attack? Cause there was evidence of the hospitals housing hamas and having weapons and the doctors who worked there new about it. If a building is housing weapons and militants then it becomes a valid military target and hamas does not seem to give a shit about that, in fact they seem to welcome it and use it as a primary tactic.
Actually, the IDF has presented very little substantial evidence that hospitals they've bombed were in military use. More often than not, the IDF has refused independent monitors and factfinders, including those from trusted international organisations; and it has also refused to allow its own evidence to be scrutinised.
Isn't it convenient how every hospital bombed is actually a Hamas stronghold or arms deposit, how every civilian killed is either a Hamas militant or was used as a shield by Hamas, how depriving the Palestinians of food, water, and electricity is actually the fault of Hamas, and how IDF soldiers shooting Israeli hostages is actually... uhm, I'm sure we can make something up for that one too.
No, I don't think isreal is the good guys, I don't think there are good guys in this conflict. Both sides has done fucked up things, hamas has done things that are more fucked up, but isreal can do fucked up things on a wider scale. I HATE when people think the conflict is one sided, especially when they hand wave all the fucked up things hamas has done. People seem to think that just because isreal has more resources and backing, that hamas should be allowed to do anything they want to it because they are the poor minorities against the colonizer westerners.
Has hamas done anything to show it cares about the lives of the palestinians? War is messy, war is bloody and in modern warfare, more civilians are gonna die then solders, which is a reason to avoid it if possible.
Israel has had it's boot on the neck of The Palestinian people for 50+ years now. Little by little, they have stepped harder and harder on that neck. Hamas didn't just pop out of nowhere, they came from the people Israel is crushing.
Be careful, CNN told Worgen to call you an antisemite for criticizing Israel. And we have to trust what CNN says.Israel has had it's boot on the neck of The Palestinian people for 50+ years now. Little by little, they have stepped harder and harder on that neck. Hamas didn't just pop out of nowhere, they came from the people Israel is crushing.
The post is a bit tongue in cheek but it also has a huge slice of truth to it. As long as Israel continues to act the way they have been acting for decades, Hamas (or something like Hamas) will always exist to try to fight back against them.
I don't think it's a good thing that an organization like Hamas has to exist but I'm having a real damn hard time calling them the bad guy after everything we've seen in this "war".
There was never any evidence presented. All just IDF statements. No independent journalist organisation ever got to see anything incriminating.
Yeah, just like Bin Laden gave America a blank check, right?
A terrorist group is a terrorist group, and Hamas is labeled and condemned by the international community as a terrorist group. The attack on Oct. 7th cost some 1.400 Israeli civilians their lives, and it was condemned by world leaders. Now... Israel has since killed close to if not more than 40.000 Palestinians civilians - that's 29 x Oct. 7 - which most world leaders have not only responded to with complete silence or apathy, some have actually funded it and still are, primarily the United States.
And how has the internationally recognized state of Israel sought to avoid this? By kicking Palestinians out of their homes, grabbing more and more land out from under them, something the UN has even before Oct. 7th declared a war crime, and by actively aiding Hamas to stop a two-state solution? Certainly not, right?
Actually several mainstream sources did. That is why we know those were false/overblown.
