Hamas-ISIS? But ISIS are Sunni fanatics who hate Shiites, possibly more than they hate non-Muslims. How does that make sense with the fact that Hamas is widely backed by Iran, which is the bastion of Shiites?
Oh that is easy. Through the last week some Israelis had the bright idea to repurpose the Anti-Isis-coalition and their frameworks against Hamas. Because everyone hates Isis, even a lot of rather pro-Palestinensian actors. Since then these statements pop up.
I got news to tell you about how leftists feel about Dresden....
I don't know how the technology for intercepting calls works, but there's a logic to having the two side of the conversation come into two different audio channels so the person listening can discern what noises come from which side. If I were listening in on someone, I would appreciate this feature.
Wait. What "proof" is this? Who are these people on the call? Are these not possibly just two random Gazan civilians, and that's just some guy spouting rumours he heard trying to sound clever?
Arabic-speakers that I've seen comment have said that this 'phone call' seems to be a performance by people that don't speak like Gazans (as with earlier releases of 'intercepted phone calls' by Israel). And the fact that it is separated into different audio channels indicates at least some audio manipulation. But you're right, even if genuine its probative value would be questionable.
It nevertheless undercuts the credibility of these recordings quite a bit because it means that the audio has necessarily been manipulated. Israel's purpose in releasing these seems to be to satisfy the people who really want to believe them and just about no one else.
By now Hamas is certainly under no illusions about Israel being willing to target literally anything. Technically, there is "Hamas" in al-Shifa hospital as that is where Gaza's Health Ministry operates from and Hamas runs the government. Much like the offices of the CDC and NIH are notable for containing Yankee imperialist scum and are therefore universally acknowledged to be perfectly acceptable military targets.
are we seriously still stuck on "criticism of any and all Israel government violence against civilian minorities makes you a nazi" fallacy even after all this time?
Have you not been seeing the fawning support of pretty much anything that hamas does? They are really close to calling for the extermination of anyone who isn't Palestinian. I'll bet all those nazies that were getting banned from social media awhile back are wishing they had gone from "exterminate all the jews to" "exterminate all the jews to liberate palistine."
Any message for Gaza that I don't need subtitles to understand is not a message for Gaza
