palal , to world in Following Israeli rebuke, Palestinian Authority foreign ministry deletes claim from social media that the Oct. 7 rave massacre was committed by the IDF

The Palestinian Authority somehow took a more extreme position than both Hamas and the Israeli police.

The facts are that helicopters were used to indiscriminately target people in the kill zone and likely killed Israeli civilians, but the helicopters were by no means the only cause of casualties in Re’im. To claim that helicopters killed all 364 people doesn’t pass the sniff test.

If there is a Hamas bunker under a hospital it was built with the full knowledge and support of netenyahu.

corsicanguppy , to world in Surveillance footage shows Hamas bringing hostages into Shifa Hospital on Oct. 7

Yeah . Because Hamas apparently were treating prisoners humanely.

I can see why humane treatment of prisoners and outsiders can seem crazy to some countries, but it is a rule of war.

Aw hell, just add it to the list of ignored rules.

    Yeah, to us they’re hostages, sure. But if every citizen of the other nation happens to be a reservist after their gap year of service, they’re unarmed ‘enemy’ soldiers on extended leave.

    I’m sure the answer is somewhere in the middle and can’t be so simply decided on the outside by people who sleep soundly at night.

    If you’re a fellow American, please stop weighing in on this whole thing. We shouldn’t be propping up Israel to begin with. We shouldn’t be involved in this at all.

    Our support of Israel was certainly factored into Hamas’s decision to escalate things. And the blowback we’ll get from unconditionally supporting Israel is completely, COMPLETELY predictable.

    Covid gave us an opportunity to turn the page on the war on terror, and now our unwavering support for one side of this conflict is going to prompt some yahoo to commit something stupid, and start the war on terror up all over again.

    There is no upside in supporting one side over the other in this one - we need to sit it out. Stop sending billions to Israel every year and providing a pretext for some sort of revenge attack on us. Saudi doesn’t care what we think anymore, OPEC is going to do whatever it wants.

    The US foreign affairs community seems to be of the opinion that our involvement in Israel and its recognition by KSA or any other big player in the region is going to secure the status of the petrodollar. But de-dollarization is going to happen anyway, thanks to BRICS.

    So we’ll continue to sell arms to Saudi Arabia while they continue to not supply us with enough oil to keep prices low, and we’ll continue to prop up Israel while they continue to piss off the entire region.

    And everyone is just… okay with this?

    There is no US and Israel. There is only US-Israel.

    Israel is an extension of US foreign policy. The politics between them is all theatre. All Americans are culpable for its actions.

    @leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

    No major news organisation has been given the opportunity to verify this footage. As such it should be treated sceptically until verified independently. The IDF have already been caught editing and altering video evidence, as demonstrated by the BBC.

    But lets say it is unedited and is verified. What does it show? It shows Hamas operatives taking two injured hostages into a hospital. That’s it. The IDF says "These findings prove that the Hamas terror organization used Shifa Hospital on the day of the massacre itself as terror infrastructure,”

    Well, no, it doesn’t. It shows that some Hamas terrorists used the hospital…as a hospital e.g. they took injured hostages into it. Just because terrorists make use of a location’s facilities doesn’t necessarily mean there was an extensive command post in or under the location.

    The IDF have yet to demonstrate or provide anything credible to back up their claim the hospital was an extensive command post.

    “The latest video is not yet the evidence that’s been promised of the sort of vast and intricate operation depicted in a computer simulation which the IDF previously released showing what it believes any Hamas base underground at al-Shifa could look like.”

    BBC

    Rapidcreek OP , (edited )

    Well that ignores that they passed five other hospitals to get to this one. Why? Because they own the place.

    Rapidcreek OP ,
    leraje ,
    @leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

    And do all those other hospitals offer identical and appropriate services? Because in my local area there are three hospitals, all offering differing types of services, meaning that depending on what I needed treatment for I would have to drive reasonably close to two of them, including emergency care.

    This feels like a real stretch - that map you linked to - the straight line goes near (ish) two other hospitals, not five for example. Maybe the hostages didn’t require hospital treatment until they were in that area? Who knows? Your assigning meaning to actions based solely on your desire for it to be true, not on actual evidence.

    But OK, lets say you’re right and they ignored all the other hospitals because their goal was that area in particular - how does that equate to that hospital being a major and extensive command post when literally nothing that’s been presented as evidence by the IDF demonstrates that opinion? Surely if it was then there’d be a lot more than a few random terrorists on those stills.

    Let me put it another way - if three or four Hamas terrorists took thirsty hostages to a Starbucks, would you see that as definitive proof that that Starbucks is, or is on top of, an extensive Hamas command post?

    At some point you’re going to need actual evidence, independently verified. Not just unexplained, unverified crap that could mean anything.

    Rapidcreek OP ,

    And do all those other hospitals offer identical and appropriate services?akel

    it seems funny that you would spend so much keyboard time on something so feeble.

    You are a Hamas terrorist and have just spent your leisurely hours raping and murdering. You have a hostage gut shot. Do you…

    1 take them to the nearest medical facility for treatment because you care

    2 take them to your HQ

    Please think.

    leraje ,
    @leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

    Good grief, do you really not understand that some hospitals offer different types of treatment to others???

    Not all hospitals are set up for emergency treatment. Seriously.

    But lets (once more) give you the benefit of the doubt and say all those hospitals are the same size and offer the exact treatment that that one does…how does that establish that hospital as a major command centre for Hamas? That’s the IDF’s rationale for attacking that hospital after all.

    Look, I am not saying that hospital is a Hamas free zone, that no one form Hamas has ever been in it. I’m not even saying that it isn’t Hamas’ favoured hospital because of it’s location or maybe there are a few Hamas-friendly people on staff there. I mean, there is zero evidence for any of that but it’s a possibility, right? It’s also a possibility that you and the IDF are absolutely correct and it really is a major command centre for Hamas.

    What I’m saying to you is that, based on what the IDF have presented as evidence - none of it verified, and that which has been examined revealed to have been altered/edited and all of it completely shorn of any context by which we might be able to make inferences - there’s pretty much nothing to suggest it is/was.

    Rapidcreek OP ,

    Sigh…

    Not all hospitals are set up for emergency treatment. Seriously.

    Hospitals in that part of the world aren’t organized by western standards. Besides which I doubt a hamas terrorist is thinking about a hospital’s quality of care, even if they knew it existed in the first place.

    I’m not suggesting they are. I’m simply suggesting to you that no two hospitals offer the same level of services, or even the same services.

    Besides which I doubt a hamas terrorist is thinking about a hospital’s quality of care, even if they knew it existed in the first place.

    I’m pretty sure that, aside from a medical professional, a terrorist is the ideal person to ask about the services a hospital is capable of delivering.

    So I shouldn’t believe my lying eyes. I see

    Your eyes aren’t what’s lying. You’re lying to yourself if you genuinely believe what the IDF have presented as incontrovertible proof isn’t very severely lacking in just about every respect. They’ve literally been caught doctoring video.

    If the sides were reversed here…if a major hospital in Israel was being attacked and disabled by a vastly superior force and everyone in it either killed or forced to move because this force said a terrorist group had a major operational base there and they presented the exact same evidence as the IDF have, would you believe it then?

    Rapidcreek OP ,

    You seem to search for excuses to be right.

    a major hospital in Israel was being attacked and disabled by a vastly superior force and everyone inal it either killed or forced to move because this force said a terrorist group had a major operational base there and they presented…

    But, that’s not what happened. Israel took the hospital without harming anyone. Before that happened, they provided fuel for the hospitals generators which Hamas didn’t let them have. It stopped functioning as a hospital and the WHO shut it down.

    leraje ,
    @leraje@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

    If you genuinely believe that then us having this conversation is pointless. The IDF themselves confirmed they’d sent about 100 Commando’s and six tanks to the hospital which several days before had lost power and oxygen leading to multiple deaths. To spell it out to you, you send commandos and tanks to attack and intimidate, not have a pleasant chat.

    The fuel thing - I have no idea who to believe at this point. There’s no verified evidence either claim is true or untrue.

    Rapidcreek OP ,

    I imagine they did, yet no one was hurt in the hospital.

    There’s no verified evidence either claim is true or untrue.

    It’s funny. The video of Israelis delivering fuel was even on CNN. Must be my lying eyes again.

    Right, apart from the multiple deaths no one was hurt.

    It’s funny. The video of Israelis delivering fuel was even on CNN. Must be my lying eyes again.

    Yeah, I saw that too. Funnily enough, as I thought I was clear about, I wasn’t disputing they did. I was disputing why or how it was refused.

    Anyway, after that interesting little side mission, lets get back to the point. if a major hospital in Israel was being attacked and disabled by a vastly superior force and everyone in it either killed or forced to move because this force said a terrorist group had a major operational base there and they presented the exact same evidence as the IDF have, would you believe it then?

    Much smaller ones without trauma wards on the same par. They’ve been fighting a war with Israel for decades, they know which hospitals are the best and which ones have Israeli sympathizers as well. Why exactly they chose that hospital we do not know but what we can say is so far the evidence of a centre of gravity are extremely weak.

    Ed: similarly they’ve shown one unbooby trapped, unguarded tunnel without tons of boot prints. And moreover the video is not off anything being cleared and has it’s location removed.

    Is them being arabic-speaking muslims that makes their horrible deaths acceptable in your eyes, even while the deaths of jewish hebrew speaking children are not?!

    Literally only people very high in the sociopath end of the spectrum would think one gruesome kind of child murder justifies a different kind of gruesome child murder, to the point of using one to justify the other in an argument genuinelly believing other human beings will be swayed by that.

    People in the normal human range within the sociopathy spectrum neither think “an eye for an eye” applies to the murdering of children - no matter the method used - nor think other people can be swayed to accept child murder by pointing out that child murders were commited by people only related to the former children by etnicity.

    In fact normal people don’t even think one kind of child murder justifies the other kind of child murder even when the latter children have direct family relations to the murderers of the former.

    You need to be quite the sociopath to merelly think somebody murdering children justifies killing their kids, and you need to be extremelly sociopathic to think somebody murdering children justifies killing kids of the same etnic group.

    People whose psychological makeup is such that they trully believe child murder justifies child murder and, worse, that others think the same, need professional help, deseperatelly so.

    Literally only people very high in the sociopath end of the spectrum would think one gruesome kind of child murder justifies a different kind of gruesome child murder,

    It’s quite literally the most used misogynistic insult.

    If you’re going to be an asshole at least be an honest asshole.

    SCB ,

    I don’t think that’s the most common misogynistic insult. That seems crazy.

    Madison420 ,

    What you think is irrelevant, reality differs. You seem like an asshole.

    SCB ,

    Maybe to a crazy person I guess

    Madison420 ,

    Maybe to an asshole I guess.

    SCB ,

    No I’m incredibly nice. You’re just cray-cray totes McGoats

    Madison420 ,

    No I’m totally sane. You’re just ass-holish forshizzle.

    SCB ,

    Your don’t write the R in "fo shizzle* and it’s 2 words.

    Madison420 ,

    Sounds like something a crazy person would say.

    Also no, Snoop Dogg says it both ways but again basic research ain’t your strong suit.

    SCB ,

    Drop it like it’s hot.

    Madison420 ,

    You first dumb dumb, I’m still waiting for you to stand but your shitty argument.

    SCB ,

    But my shitty argument what?

    Madison420 ,

    Yes yes, my hand messes up because it’s going paralyzed, we went over this but at least this time your mocking something real and not inexpert opinion from an asshole.

    SCB ,

    Lmao high five

    Madison420 ,

    Way to poke fun at disability, you seem like a real gem of a person.

    SCB ,

    Have you ever heard of a Zen Koan?

    Madison420 ,

    Are you claiming to be Buddhist now? That would be hilarious.

    SCB ,

    I was planning on asking you, since this is a rare opportunity, “What’s the sound of one hand clapping?”

    Madison420 ,

    About the same as you jerking yourself off for the last 30 comments I would imagine.

    SCB ,

    Lol don’t be silly. It’s Thanksgiving! I’m not jerking off.

    Madison420 ,

    Don’t fuck the turkey either, I shouldn’t have to say that.

    SCB ,

    Nah I only fuck adult people who want me to fuck them. Wife and I are swingers so I get to be plenty flexible.

    Madison420 ,

    So you’re a virgin, gotcha.

    SCB ,

    No I have 3 children. 18/8/6.

    A/s/l?

    Madison420 ,

    Oh I’m sure you play an interesting game of life, don’t eat the convertible.

    SCB ,

    I drive a Kia

    Gets a lot of smiles per gallon

    Madison420 ,

    Didn’t know playskool made a Kia.

    SCB ,

    How fuckin cool would that be lol

    Madison420 ,

    A lot cooler than you.

    You want to defend your argument now or just pay idiotic games?

    SCB ,

    I roll d20 on argument check. Result: 33 with modifiers.

    Your move.

    Madison420 ,

    Nope still yours is your argument to shitty and inept to defend or are you just scared.

    SCB ,

    Too, not “to”

    Madison420 ,

    Yes yes, my comments have errors, you learn to type with your non dominant hand and see how well it works out.

    That said you knew what I meant and you’re still refusing to stand by your shitty argument.

    Why is crushed under a building worse than shot.

    SCB ,

    Because it’s a worse experience. This is not at all a hot take.

    That you’ve limped your way through me fucking with you for two days over it is fucking embarrassing for you lol

    Madison420 ,

    Correct. So why are you arguing that Palestinians aren’t being tortured by proxy with mass civilian casualties?

    You just admitted your argument is shit, you should review your comments bud.

    Ta dah!

    lemmy.world/comment/5476838

    SCB ,

    Yeah being murdered with a hoe is definitely worse.

    I actually brought this up with my elderly father at Thanksgiving lol. He thought it was hilarious that you went so berserk over it, and we came up with some of my comments together.

    It was actually a really sweet little moment. I’m thankful for you.

    Madison420 ,

    How so.

    So you’re just as much of a sad shitty person in real life, neat brag. No one has gone berserk I’m persistent, someone is running away and it certainly isn’t me.

    I imagine none of it actually happened so sure, whatever you need bud.

    SCB ,

    Lol it definitely happened. My wife’s favorite part was when I said you should smile more.

    Thanks for your contribution to an awesome thanksgiving.

    Madison420 ,

    Back to your shitty argument so if the the person bombed is beheaded by explosive is that than equal to or greater than this theoretical hoe beheading.

    SCB ,

    Lesser than. It’s not the object, it’s the situation. Seriously, it’s so weird you don’t get this.

    “Dying instantly is better than being slowly beheaded by a laughing terrorist” is just not a hot take dude. Quit being so weird lol

    Madison420 , (edited )

    It’s weird to me that you value one human life over another. How many lives is a hoe beheading worth? Two, three? Ten? Because we’re at about 10x as many civilians casualties in Gaza. How many until Israel breaks even?

    Similarly death by building, or explosive dismemberment notoriously not fast or painless.

    SCB ,

    It’s weird to me that you value one human life over another

    ??? That’s not a thing weve ever discussed.

    Madison420 ,

    That’s quite literally what you’re doing right now, we’re actively discussing it. I’m bad at math but goddamn homie you’d figure the guy on the high horse could figure out 1+1=2.

    SCB ,

    Gonna need you to quote me on that one.

    Madison420 ,

    You want me to quote to you something that is two comments above this one? Egomaniacal and lazy, neat combo no wonder research is so difficult for you.

    lemmy.world/comment/5553378

    SCB ,

    I never compared value of human life, but rather ranked methods of dying

    Let me give you a hand - the entire argument you think you’re having is just something you made up in your head

    Madison420 ,

    lemmy.world/comment/5553378

    Lesser than. It’s not the object, it’s the situation. Seriously, it’s so weird you don’t get this.

    SCB ,

    Yes. This has nothing to do with the value of human life.

    Madison420 ,

    It has to, your unwillingness to address the subject for as you say 2 days shows that much.

    You’re a bigot, it took a holiday break but I’m glad we got to the truth eventually. Have a nice night buckaroo.

    SCB ,

    Lmao see there’s that crazy again

    Madison420 ,

    There’s that inability to defend you bigoted stance again and as of to prove my point you call me bigoted names.

    Too easy babe.

    SCB ,

    Its not bigoted to think dying fast is better than dying slow.

    Madison420 ,

    Again those weren’t the options bud, the comment you responded to specifically says slow and painful. You gloss over that fact because… You’re a bigot.

    You think little children dying as their blood drains away with their limbs blown away, or their life slowly fadding as their bodies are crushed by the rubble of what moments ago was their home or being burn through till their internal organs fail in complete total panic by a piece of burning white phosporous whose fire they cannot stopped, from a round that hit their schoolyard, is any better?!

    SCB ,

    That’s because it a dumb bit of hyperbole from a loon that doesn’t understand how human bodies function.

    Edit: but even still, us disagreeing on which is a worse death is not at all a discussion about the value of the life being taken. Someone dies in both instances - the value of human life is not being discussed at all.

    That you think it is being discussed, and went so insane about it, is embarrassing. As I said before.

    Madison420 ,

    Ah another “crazy” person, everyone you deal with seems to be crazy huh? It’s not that maybe you’re a bigot. It’s not hyperbole, those things have objectively happened in Gaza during the conflict, Israel doesn’t deny it why do you.

    It absolutely is, you were given two horrific examples of death and chose one over the other that’s giving them values.

    relative worth, utility, or importance.

    Someone dies in both instances - the value of human life is not being discussed at all.

    It absolutely is being discussed, you just don’t see it because to do so would mean accepting that gazans are people not terrorists.

    Again, bigoted insults, I do enjoy how easy you’re making proving your bigotry. What’s next another joke about my disability?

    SCB ,

    It absolutely is, you were given two horrific examples of death and chose one over the other that’s giving them values.

    Yes. Note that this has nothing to do with the value of the person

    Also note that I have literally never typed the word “Gazan” here

    Madison420 ,

    It absolutely does the only difference between them is ethnicity.

    You’re a bigot, at least be an honest bigot.

    SCB ,

    We never discussed the ethnicity of the dead people.

    Madison420 ,

    We did, its in the original comment by context, though if your reading comprehension is that poor it would certainly explain some things.

    SCB ,

    Your imagined context made you so angry that you are 2 days worth of mockery lmao

    Madison420 ,
    SCB ,

    Yes. It is fucking weird that you think that’s not a better way to die.

    Madison420 ,

    There is no good way to die and even given equivalent examples you’ve chosen the Israeli over the gazan.

    You’re a bigot, be an honest bigot. An ashamed Nazi is still a Nazi after all.

    SCB ,

    There are plenty of good ways to die. My daughter’s grandpa on her mom’s side got to choose how to pass and it was beautiful, surrounded by loved ones.

    It would be great if we all got to make a choice and have it be easy.

    Madison420 ,

    That’s your opinion, it’s at best an ancedote.

    Sure, it would be and some people get their fucking brains blown out their fucking body for being gazan and unable to escape.

    Be an honest bigot, if you say Nazi shit people are going to assume your a Nazi.

    Madison420 ,

    It’s absolutely a discussion on the value of human life.

    You’re a bigot, at least be an honest bigot. An ashamed Nazi is still a Nazi after all.

    SCB ,

    Only if you’re crazy

    Madison420 ,

    You’re a bigot, at least be an honest bigot. An ashamed Nazi is still a Nazi after all.

    SCB ,

    You’re not going to get the last word lol

    Madison420 ,

    You’re welcome to have it if you admit you’re a bigot.

    You’re a bigot, at least be an honest bigot. An ashamed Nazi is still a Nazi after all.

    SCB ,

    I genuinely don’t think you’re as petty as me, nor does your life involve as much forced downtime as mine.

    Madison420 ,

    Sounds like we agree on something, bigots do tend to be very petty people. I imagine so, bud but that’s not a metric of who will speak last. There’s no timelimit on response bud.

    You’re a bigot at least be an honest bigot. An ashamed Nazi is still a Nazi after all.

    SCB ,

    It’s not bigotry to get notifications on a Web site I visit anyway

    Madison420 ,

    It’s not, you are however a bigot.

    You’re a bigot, at least be an honest bigot. An ashamed Nazi is still a Nazi after all.

    SCB ,

    I don’t think the evidence holds there, Mads.

    Madison420 ,

    You wouldn’t know evidence if it hit you in the face, clearly scrubby.

    You’re a bigot, at least be an honest bigot. An ashamed Nazi is still a Nazi after all.

    Madison420 ,

    Yes yes, because things I can show objectively are in my head. You want to try that again but be logical and make sense? No no, what you did was assume that being crushed by a building is painless and not terror inducing because you don’t value Palestinian life given your comments thus far.

    You were given a situation. Ie. Crushed slowly under a building or beheaded by hoe and decided one is more valuable than the other. Words matter, context matters, actions matter and all of yours point to a bigoted outlook which is why you seem to equate Palestinians as terrorists, not people.

    SCB ,

    Crushed slowly under a building or beheaded by hoe and decided one is more valuable than the other.

    No one s less desirable

    Madison420 ,

    In the example given the faster death is actually beheading by hoe. Your bigoted views just gloss over what doesn’t fit your narrative.

    SCB ,

    That is definitely not accurate, but I admire you for having a diamond-edged hoe that has a sharp edge. That’s gotta make gardening a snap.

    Madison420 ,

    So you’re a believer in untermensch? Amusing conflict to casually bring that up for.

    SCB ,

    Dude be real lol

    Madison420 ,

    Ok then why do you believe one civilian dying a torturous death is different than any other?

    SCB ,

    Because I have a functioning brain.

    Madison420 ,

    That’s not an explanation bud that’s a very obvious very pathetic dodge. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say you won’t explain it because it’s almost certainly very bigoted.

    SCB ,

    No you’re just an insane person

    Madison420 ,

    Taking shots at the unwell, let’s bump that up to straight eugenicist.

    SCB ,

    Lmao

    Madison420 ,

    Not gunna defend your bullshit stance I take it?

    SCB ,

    Every single response you give is increasingly unhinged, so of course I’m going to respond. This is one of my favorite threads all week

    Madison420 ,

    Yes asking you to defend your position is “unhinged”.

    SCB ,

    You didn’t ask me to defend anything, and you are incapable of articulating my position.

    You’re figuratively shouting absurd insults to try to get a rise out of me, but I just think they’re funny.

    Madison420 ,

    Survey says… Your full of shit.

    lemmy.world/comment/5493243

    Not only have I asked you to defend your bullshit point I’ve asked multiple times directly.

    It’s not an absurd insult, calling someone insane is an insult. Saying your stance is bullshit is at best implying you’re an idiot.

    SCB ,

    It’s not an insult if it’s a descriptor. You’re an insane person.

    Say more funny things!

    Madison420 ,

    That’s an insult bud, you’re not a medical professional so it can’t be anything but an insult.

    Or answer the question. What is the difference between dead isreali civilians and dead Palestinian civilians.

    SCB ,

    I could be a medical professional. I could be a mental health professional.

    But you’re definitely crazy

    Madison420 ,

    Then you’d be committing an ethical violation in calling me insane without physical observation. Guaranteed you are not a medical professional, I’m willing to bet you’re an actual factual child.

    And you’re definitely an asshole.

    SCB ,

    See that’s just what a crazy person would say

    Madison420 ,

    The literal definition of gaslighting, way to go!

    SCB ,

    It’s not gaslighting if the person is crazy.

    Madison420 ,

    Oo ad hominem, are you going for shitty argument bingo?

    SCB ,

    We’ve already discussed that it’s not an insult because you are indeed crazy.

    Trust me. I’m a scientist doctor

    Madison420 ,

    That’s your opinion Bud it’s also shitty deflection but do go on, the more you insist I’m crazy and refuse to stand by your argument the weaker you argument becomes.

    SCB ,

    Oh heavens.

    Madison420 ,

    And now you’re clutching pearls, why not defend your position on literally any of your bullshit arguments.

    How about what kind of “crazy” or “insane” am I, what are the symptoms, what is your expertise, so on and so forth.

    Elucidate me Jambi.

    SCB ,

    In my professional opinion, you seem “normal type” crazy.

    Madison420 ,

    Oh define it. Defend your position.

    SCB ,

    You don’t seem like you smile much when men are around, and that’s a sign of crazy.

    Madison420 ,

    Oh and what are we basing that on, maybe we can find a single thing you’ve said that you’re willing to defend.

    Do you always either lash out or run away when you can’t support your argument?

    SCB ,

    Because I’m a man, and I’m around. And you don’t seem to be smiling.

    Madison420 ,

    I kinda doubt that, perhaps a boy maybe a man but certainly not a man worth calling a man ie. A gentleman.

    You don’t know what I’m doing bud, I could be standing on my head with my thumb up my ass. You’re just making absurd assumptions.

    SCB ,

    I hope you really are standing on your head with your thumb in your ass. That would be incredible.

    Madison420 ,

    It would just be more of a way to dunk on you, you’ve completely abandoned your argument because it’s indefensible.

    SCB ,

    No I’m definitely right

    Madison420 ,

    But can’t or won’t defend your argument, why is that?

    SCB ,

    Lack of interest in engaging with a crazy person.

    Madison420 ,

    Lack of interest in engaging with an asshole.

    SCB ,

    You seem quite interested.

    Zaktor , to world in UK doctor who worked at Shifa confirms Gaza hospital used for ‘non-medical purposes’

    This would be more believable if the IDF, which has been searching the complex for days, had found anything of the sort. A major command and control base, supposedly accessible from places random employees can stumble upon, isn’t something you need days of intensive searching to reveal.

    geophysicist ,
    Zaktor ,

    They blasted a hole through a garage floor to find a tunnel, that’s not a terror command center and not something a member of the hospital would stumble upon. If this was a big important storage and command site that random doctors would wander into, the troops there would have found it already by just opening doors.

    FaceDeer ,

    These situations can still be reconciled. Perhaps this particular doctor had a habit of blasting holes in floors and had to be told not to do that under threat of being shot.

    Doorbook , to world in Surveillance footage shows Hamas bringing hostages into Shifa Hospital on Oct. 7

    Again people lose sight of the fact that regardless of hamas actions, that doesn’t justify the killing of thousands of kids and families that are taking shelter in the hospital.

    If anything, the medical staff and families are also hostages and they shouldn’t be killed either.

    People kept arguing about the tunnel and the hospital ignoring the genocidal killing of Palestinians.

    Tunnels or Hamas using the biggest and maybe only hospital Doesn’t justify the bombing of the hospital while people still getting treated from other bombing…

    DolphinMath OP ,

    Let’s be accurate here. Thousands have died in Gaza as a result of this conflict, but Israel clearly did not kill thousands at Shifa Hospital.

    @hark@lemmy.world avatar

    You’re right, the hospital bombed itself.

    Hatsune_Miku ,

    they haven’t actually bombed al shifa, or any hospital for that matter.

    Catoblepas ,

    Liar.

    hrw.org/…/gaza-unlawful-israeli-hospital-strikes-…

    If I was this ignorant I would simply shut the fuck up.

    DolphinMath OP ,

    I mean, I read through what you posted and it literally never says Israel bombed hospitals.

    HRW just cites a Tweet by “WHO in occupied Palestine” that is very non-specific while sounding specific.

    The relevant bits from the Tweet used as the primary source by HRW:

    “We are horrified at the latest reports of attacks on and in the vicinity of Al-Shifa Hospital, Al-Rantisi Naser Pediatric Hospital, Al-Quds Hospital, and others in Gaza city and northern Gaza, killing many, including children.”

    “Over the past 36 days, WHO has recorded at least 137 attacks on health care in Gaza, resulting in 521 deaths and 686 injuries, including 16 deaths and 38 injuries of health workers on duty.”

    Catoblepas ,

    If I thought I knew better from my seat in a chair what was going on in Gaza than the humanitarian organizations on the ground there then I would simply log off and touch grass.

    palal ,

    Clearly the UNRWA and the doctors at MSF don’t know what they’re talking about. Only the IDF does.

    Argonne ,

    Clearly you can’t even read or are mentally broken. The link above doesn’t say the hospital itself was bombed. Go to sleep, it must be late in the morning, tankie

    DolphinMath OP ,

    I mean, when you are calling people liars because they don’t agree with you, especially when your own sources don’t support what you say, I’m pretty sure that’s a sign you need to log off and touch grass.

    Is it possible Israel has bombed hospitals in Gaza? Certainly.

    Did you provide proof? No.

    Argonne ,

    You are the liar, or just an idiot. Your own source doesn’t say anything about the hospital itself being bombed

    Super cool how lying about hospitals not being bombed is “civil” but calling it out for the lie that it is somehow isn’t.

    jordanlund ,
    @jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

    Attacking the contents of an article is absolutely allowed, attacking other users is absolutely NOT allowed.

    So in your comment:

    "Liar. hrw.org/…/gaza-unlawful-israeli-hospital-strikes-…"

    That’s fine. “Liar” is maybe a little strong, I personally would have allowed it, other mods may not have. Your mileage may vary.

    It was the personal attack against the other user AFTER that where you crossed the line and caused the comment to be removed.

    Catoblepas ,

    I disagree that saying someone is ignorant or that I would STFU if I was that ignorant is a personal attack. I also do not see how that is somehow more objectionable than lying about bombed civilians.

    jordanlund ,
    @jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

    It’s literally an ad hominem attack and is not allowed.

    yourlogicalfallacyis.com/ad-hominem

    You’ve also been warned about this before according to the modlog (which is public information):

    lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&userId=82695

    If you keep it up, you’re cruising for a temporary ban.

    Catoblepas ,

    I haven’t received notifications for any of those other warnings as far as I can tell, the links in the log won’t actually load for me. I also stand by them and encourage everyone to check out my forbidden opinions. It’s hilarious that one of them is literally a single sentence of me asking a mod for clarification.

    Btw, why is lying about murdered civilians fine but calling someone ignorant is beyond the pale?

    jordanlund ,
    @jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

    Not all mods bother replying to comments they remove, I choose to because I believe transparency is an important part of moderation.

    As to the question, engaging in personal attacks violates rule 5 in the sidebar (which I wrote BTW):

    “Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (perjorative, perjorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (perjorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect!”

    Catoblepas ,

    Ok, I understand that your stance is that ignorance is not a neutral statement of fact but a personal attack, and I do appreciate you replying unlike the last mod I asked that just deleted my comment without answering. Which I also had no idea about because I don’t monitor the mod log of every place I comment.

    It’s just a really awful policy for the exact reason I’ve been underlining over and over: if polite lies about mass murder are fine and calling someone ignorant for saying heinous shit isn’t fine, you’re just creating an environment where impoliteness is worse than bigotry. And yeah I see the rules against that, doesn’t seem to be doing anything about the overt lie that hospitals haven’t been bombed.

    “It’s the rules” is a terrible justification for leaving up lies about mass murdered civilians as long as they’re polite.

    Ad hominem attacks cross the line. When you start going after the other user, that’s a problem and we don’t want flamewar threads top to bottom. That’s why the rule exists.

    If you don’t want flame wars then removing obvious flame bait–like lies about mass murdered civilians and hospitals not being bombed–would go a lot farther than deleting everyone that calls that shit what it is.

    I’ve explained the mod position multiple times. It’s not up for debate. You’re now starting to shade over into a different form of disingenuous argument affectionately called “sealioning”.

    en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealioning

    From here:

    wondermark.com/c/1k62/

    Don’t argue with mods. You can’t win, you can only get removed or banned.

    Catoblepas ,

    If you want to run a community where it’s more offensive to say someone is ignorant than it is to lie about mass murdered civilians I’m not under the delusion that I can make you do anything else. Just don’t expect me to not say it’s a shitty policy or to ignore what it allows and what it doesn’t allow.

    Warned, 3 day ban.

    Catoblepas ,

    So the rule actually isn’t “don’t make personal attacks”, it’s “don’t tell the mods that their policies are bad.” Maybe you should add that to the sidebar.

    Repeated sealioning. 7 day ban.

    Catoblepas ,

    I am very civilly pointing out that the idea hospitals haven’t been bombed is a disgusting piece of propaganda and someone who done even the bare minimum of reading non-IDF sources should know that. Personally I would feel more shame about lying about the deaths of civilians.

    @Hatsune_Miku@lemmy.world avatar

    okay, can you link any evidence of hospitals being bombed?

    Thief_of_Crows ,

    Can you open any news article not written by the IDF?

    SuddenDownpour ,

    doctorswithoutborders.ca/gaza-attack-on-ambulance…

    Literally Doctors Without Borders explaining that an ambulance right outside the hospital was blasted during bombings.

    I’ll remark the words of the other user:

    Personally I would feel more shame about lying about the deaths of civilians.

    blahsay ,

    Hamas surrenders, releases hostages and it’s done. But Hamas is the one pushing this war and they’re using the suffering of their own people to push propaganda - and people like yourself support their efforts.

    ‘the allies did worse than the Holocaust’ is certainly a hot take.

    Thief_of_Crows ,

    If Hamas surrenders, Israel will simply compete the genocide they’re in the middle of.

    teichflamme ,

    They have literally no chance to win while causing great suffering on everyone around them.

    I don’t know how a sane person could advocate for HAMAS to continue their terrorist actions.

    Doorbook ,

    Put yourself in Hamas miltant shoe. Mostly now had lost family members, living since born in a prison, you cannot go to sea, or cross to Egypt or even other part of the country.

    What do you think Winning means for them ?

    teichflamme ,

    I guess for me it would mean to have at least some of my family members survive instead of dying pointlessly

    Eldritch ,

    They’re going to die pointlessly regardless of what they do. While I disagree with what they’re doing. I can’t exactly fault them for feeling powerless and lashing out. When people have nothing to lose. They don’t care how much anyone else loses either. And the Israeli government has the largest part of the blame on this. They helped Hamas come to power and use them extensively to justify their genocide. They don’t want Hamas to stop.

    teichflamme ,

    I think we should totally fault them for committing acts of terrorism. It does nothing to advance their cause.

    While the Israeli government has fucked up, too, they are the one of the two parties that historically at least tried to negotiate a compromise.

    I don’t believe for a second that they want the terror to continue, they’re not comic book villains. You’re selling your opinion as facts.

    Eldritch ,

    Netanyahu’s own cabinet has literally said on video that Hamas is an asset to them. Those are the facts. Netanyahu and his ministers have also done a lot to help Hamas as well. Mind you, I’m not defending Hamas. Fuck hamas. Palestine is not Hamas however. Most the people living in Gaza never voted for Hamas. And don’t support Hamas. And would love to get rid of Hamas. But they don’t have the power to. The people that have the power to would rather come in and slaughter innocent citizens of Gaza under pretense of going after Hamas. Creating more Hamas and the process rather than actually getting rid of Hamas. These are the facts. Netanyahu’s government’s actions are indefensible.

    When the so-called rescue response has killed multiple times more than the initial terror attack. It is a terror attack in its own right.

    Alas Lemmy is a shitshow in this regard. Not sure if Reddit is the same but the vibe here makes me barf

    RGB3x3 ,

    Nobody is supporting Hamas. They’re saying that there’s no justification for the genocide that Israel is engaging in.

    It doesn’t matter what either side has done when the response is to murder children. It’s all unjustifiable.

    sock ,

    well if an ant bite kills your mom and you go and poison bomb the whole colony, then the surviving ants come bite and kill your dad. are you gonna just let the ants keep killing your family or are you gonna poison bomb the whole colony again

    this is just an analogy (works for the nukes in japan too) at this point both sides are shitty and idek how to have a take about it anymore.

    Aaroncvx ,

    Yes let’s reduce this conflict to ant extermination, can’t see any problem with that analogy…

    itslilith ,
    @itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

    as far as analogies go, comparing Palestinians to ants to be exterminated is a bit too on the nose, don’t you think?

    then lets convert it to people then instead of ants

    or is that hitting too close to home

    Mrkawfee ,

    Reddit is a Zionist mouthpiece.

    Yawnder ,

    So let’s advocate for the bigger of the two terrorist states to continue their terrorist actions until the smaller terrorist state surrenders!

    teichflamme ,

    That take is so stupid I won’t even bother sorry

    Thief_of_Crows ,

    It is certainly better to kill Israeli soldiers than it is to not kill them. Peace has been tried for over 30 years, but Israel has refused. It’s about time Palestine started fighting back. Genociders do not listen to anything short of warfare and terrorism.

    teichflamme ,

    Israel has refused? Israel is the one side that negotiated and offered multiple solutions to the conflict lmao

    Thief_of_Crows ,

    Yeah, any solution that isnt “Israel gives back the land they stole and stops genociding Gaza”.

    teichflamme ,

    Dude what are you on about? Israel offered land.

    If you think what Hamas is doing now is the better course you’re just absolutely deluded

    Thief_of_Crows ,

    What land did they offer, and when? Was it even one thenth of the land they’ve stolen since the 1960s?

    SCB ,

    As opposed to the heavy resistance Hamas is currently putting up?

    If Israel wanted a genocide they could easily accomplish it. They clearly do not. This entire line of argumentation is beyond stupid.

    samokosik ,
    @samokosik@lemmynsfw.com avatar

    What genocide are you talking about? About the non-existent one against Palestine? How come they are under genocide when their population literally doubled over the last 70 years?

    Can I ask you whether you support Hamas and their actions? Do you consider them terrorists?

    Thief_of_Crows ,

    Are you aware that Israel doesn’t need to literally kill every palestinian in order to succeed at genocide? Do you think the Holocaust wasn’t a genocide?

    I don’t give a fuck about Hamas, Palestine should fight back against the genocidal state by any means necessary. Nothing Hamas has ever even been claimed to have done is worse than genocide, so criticizing them at all is a logical fallacy. If palestine thinks incorporating terrorism into their war effort is necessary, I’m not arrogant enough to claim I know better. Every repercussion of this war on both sides is the fault of Israel, just like was true of Nazi Germany.

    samokosik ,
    @samokosik@lemmynsfw.com avatar

    I know that for genocide you don’t have to kill the whole population. Issue is that during the genocide, population goes down. During holocaust, 1/3 of the jews were killed and the population of jews was 30% smaller at the end of the genocide. This is not happening with Palestinians as their population literally doubled and there has never been a significant dip in their numbers. So no, Israel is not a genocidal state.

    In the second paragraph you are finding excuses for Palestine for fighting genocide (why by the way doesn’t exist). Hamas is a terrorist organisation which does not care about Palestine at all. They are only capable of killing Jews, tying opposition to cars and dragging them around. They were also the ones who broke the ceasefire and made the population of Gaza so radical that no one wants to have anything with them. Even PLO rather stays away from Gaza. I am honestly shocked how can you support terrorism and blame Israel for everything. You also ignore the fact that Hamas is not Palestine.

    Thief_of_Crows ,

    So if Israel kills 2 million Palestinians, but elsewhere 3 million are born, that is still genocide. Also, source on their population going up? You mean like world wide or something? Certainly not in Gaza. No, Hamas did not violate a ceasefire. Laying seige to an open air prison for 20 years does not count as ceasing fire. Hamas attacked Israel in retaliation to them getting worse and worse.

    samokosik ,
    @samokosik@lemmynsfw.com avatar

    Israel never killed 2 million palestinians. The number is far lower. Stop spreading bullshit.

    Population in Gaza went up throughout the time. It’s literally one of the most densely populated areas in the world (www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/…/gaza-strip/).

    Furthermore, Gaza is not Israel’s open air prison and it was Hamas who broke the ceasefire.

    I honestly see no reason in this discussion when you keep inventing random facts and when you support terrorist organizations. This is truly unbelievable.

    Thief_of_Crows ,

    They haven’t killed them yet,but they very much intend to. If you’re not trolling, I highly suggest you do some research on this subject before speaking confidently on it. Basically everything you’ve said is incorrect. I can’t educate you to that degree in a couple comments. But if you are well meaning, and you can ditch your pro America/ pro imperialism bias, you will come to learn a lot about how the world works overall by doing a deep dive on this subject. But let me be very clear: Israel is the bad guy, and America is bad for supporting them. This is a fact. Genocide is always evil, no matter who is doing it.

    samokosik ,
    @samokosik@lemmynsfw.com avatar

    Honestly it’s funny that you say I am wrong and pro-american but at the same time you are the one supporting terrorism and spreading complete bullshit. I don’t know who of us should educate themselves on the subject.

    Can I ask you 2 simple questions?

    1. Where is the “land of Palestine”?
    2. Do you agree with Bin Laden’s Letter to America?
    Thief_of_Crows ,

    The land of Palestine is where it was when the borders of Israel were drawn in the 50s. Israel has expanded itself drastically since then, and most (all?) of that stolen land is Palestine.

    Never heard of it before, but based on the summary, I assume he says some real wack job shit, alongside his factually correct points, such as America bringing 9/11 on itself. He’s right that when America targets civilians, they justify attacks like 9/11 in return.

    “Why are we fighting and opposing you? The answer is very simple:

    Because you attacked us and continue to attack us”. Yep, he is 100% correct.

    He also blames interest on loans as core to America’s failings, which is honestly way more than I expected from him. Though, I figured out that capitalism is evil at like 25, while living inside capitalist propaganda, so it’s probably not that difficult to figure out. Not that interest is literally capitalism, but it’s a decent stand in for it that fits within his wack job religious message.

    It’s an interesting comparison between 9/11 and the recent Hamas attack though. It’s not good that 9/11 happened, it just was wildly obvious that it eventually would. Meanwhile the exact opposite is true of the Hamas attack. It’s good to kill people genociding you, but I’m surprised it actually happened.

    samokosik ,
    @samokosik@lemmynsfw.com avatar

    This is my point here. If you start thinking that Osama was in some ways correct, it’s not him being correct, there is just sth wrong with you.

    Thief_of_Crows ,

    What? No. Osama also believes the sky is blue, does that make us all lunatics? If people say true things, it is intellectually dishonest to disagree with them. That is how brazenly obvious it is that capitalism is evil.

    samokosik ,
    @samokosik@lemmynsfw.com avatar

    Yes, I should have been more exact that if you agree to his values, then you are wrong. I know capitalism is not ideal but what’s better? Communism?

    Thief_of_Crows ,

    Sure, it’d pretty much have to be, right? Anything that isnt currently causing all of the world’s problems has a very low bar to clear, and if you think communism is the answer, Im not gonna disagree with you. What we replace capitalism with is much less important than the fact that we get rid of capitalism in the first place.

    AI_toothbrush , to news in Surveillance footage shows Hamas bringing hostages into Shifa Hospital on Oct. 7

    Pigs. Still not a reason to bomb hospitals. Wait if they bomb the hospital they kill the hostages.

    Rapidcreek OP ,

    Nobody bombed the hospital itself.

    AI_toothbrush ,

    According to the un there were more than 130 attacks on healthcare services by isreal in gaza…

    Rapidcreek OP ,

    First thing is, we’ve just witnessed how truthful they are.
