most probably Israel has killed way more children and babies than Hamas.

I mean sure, if you believe the UN /s

I’m sorry is this really your whole argument for why Israel should be allowed to do war crimes?

hassanmckusick , 8 months ago to world in Gazans forced to drink dirty, salty water as the fuel needed to run water systems runs out

I think you’re missing my point.

Do you think the entire power grid of Gaza is run off fossil fuel generators inside of Gaza?

I’ll just cut to the chase. Here, have an infographic from the UN that might be slightly out of date but will still give you a much better understanding of the situation

I don’t blame social media for this one. I dk where you grew up but being from the US… our government lies to us all the fucking time.

(sorry for what I’m about to do)

'Member Iraq has WMDs? 'member Abu Ghraib? 'member Gitmo? 'member “waterboarding isn’t torture”? 'member we had no warning about 9/11? 'member the “kill team” who took human body parts? 'member Iran-Contra? 'member “I am not a crook”?

And those are just the popular ones.

Oh come off it. You’re all up and down these posts repeating lies about Hamas using human shields or how driving the civilians out of their homes in mass does not constitute ethnic cleansing.

Btw here’s the actual definition of “ethnic cleansing”

the mass expulsion or killing of members of an unwanted ethnic or religious group in a society.

You argued with me that it’s totally legit that the IDF isn’t letting journalists verify footage of supposed Hamas atrocities but the IDF is cool with showing that footage to journalists in a private setting where they’re not allowed to record anything.

You whine constantly that Al Jazeera isn’t legitimate but you haven’t posted a single source to debunk any of their reporting.

Post some sources of your own or sit down

Israel is already doing ethnic cleansing so… I wouldn’t really call this a win

I run my own instance so I’m always a little paranoid that I fucked it up somehow. Or like, maybe theres a known bug that I don’t know about, or a compatibility issue between versions/platforms.

But as another commenter mentioned, at worse it’s some loser botting but more likely it really was just a coincidence.

hassanmckusick , 8 months ago to world in Pilot who ‘tried to shut off engines mid-flight was high on magic mushrooms’

The headline is propaganda but not for that reason.

Dude was in the cockpit and pulled the fuel cutoff valves for the plane. The pilot and copilot kicked him out of the cockpit and re-engaged the fuel pumps and continued flying. Dude ran up to the fight attendants and told them that they need to handcuff him. Then he tried to open the emergency exit.

It’s propaganda because he said he took the mushrooms 40 hours ago they don’t last that long and he was also sleep deprived and emotionally unstable due to the recent death of a friend

Am I the only one seeing this? Is it… normal for 3 comments in a row to have exactly balanced numbers of up and down votes?

That’s a very strange coincidence.

Its psychotic. And then they have the balls to mix actual anti-semites in next to people who just don’t think we should fund a government that kills thousands of civilians with impunity

The UN definitely acknowledges the existence of terrorists groups

Expressing grave concern that foreign terrorist fighters who have joined entities such as (ISIL), the Al-Nusrah Front (ANF) and other cells, affiliates, splinter groups or derivatives of ISIL, Al-Qaida or other terrorist groups, may be seeking to return to their countries of origin or nationality, or to relocate to third countries, and recognizing that the threat of returning or relocating foreign terrorist fighters includes, among others, such individuals further supporting acts or activities of ISIL, Al-Qaida and their cells, affiliates, splinter groups, and derivative entities, including by recruiting for or otherwise providing continued support for such entities, and stressing the urgent need to address this particular threat,

I couldn’t find a list either but there’s not a lot of documents under the “Foreign terrorist fighters” category -> www.un.org/counterterrorism/un-documents

The Israeli army has said that it cannot confirm the claims, which were repeated on Wednesday by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s spokesperson Tal Heinrich.

What are you disagreeing with?

Are you trying to say Tal Heinrich is not a spokesperson for the IDF? Because NewsNation, IndiaTimes, Australian Financial Review 9news[dot]au, and the NY Post all refer to her as such. Ohh and theres this piece from JewishInsider

The Prime Minister’s Office has put together a task force that includes some past staff, such as Netanyahu’s former spokesman and diplomatic adviser, Mark Regev, and President Isaac Herzog’s former spokesman, Eylon Levy, as well as new faces such as journalist Tal Heinrich, to help with wartime communications.

I feel like we’re missing the part where Israel could just turn the power back on… if Hamas has fuel to run their weapons what is even the point of cutting electricity?
