Source that they’re pets and not cattle? My farmer friend had a pet cow; they didn’t eat that cow. They ate other cows.

They employ 30,000 people. It’s only natural that after decade of abuse, at least a few will use force against the blockading super-power that periodically kills their children at random.

And Israel made allegations against 19, only 9 of whom the UN found good evidence for so there’s a better than 50-50 chance a given “Hamas” UNRWA employee is perfectly innocent. Most “western democracies” wouldn’t take a 50-50 shot at killing civilians but Israel’s so called “precision strikes” demonstrate they’re perfectly happy to murder arbitrary numbers of children in the process of killing a maybe-terrorist.

That’s fine, but I think you’ll be able to reach/influence more people with intentional source selection.

In this example, if Iran claims the UN said that, I’d still go and confirm it (which I did). If Al Jazeera or Reuters says he said it, I don’t feel the need to double check; I know they won’t flat out lie. Someone lazier than I was here might just remember this story as a “maybe” if they didn’t bother checking the source themselves.

Then use Al Jazeera. But if Trump Media tells me it’s rainy in the Pacific Northwest I’m going to have doubts, and if Iran says Israel’s doing Israel things… I’m going to have doubts.

While there’s nothing about the story that’s hard to believe given Israel’s love for genocide and harming anyone who cares about the humanity of Palestinians, can we get a source that isn’t literally Iran?

That’s one heck of a crater for a strike on tents. I’m sure they’ll release footage of the strike showing that it was secondary explosions, and not that they used enormous munitions to obliterate bodies so the reported casualty count from bodies at hospitals is lower.

My tax dollars at work, funding genocide, and nothing I can even do about it.

That’s a big crater for some tents. Does it help reduce the documented civilian body count when you just turn them entirely into mist and they become missing instead of killed?

Hey now, we’re also going to deliver another shipment of 2000lb bombs to use against civilians in tents, but with a strongly worded letter attached.

Source that the Palestinian victims of Israeli settler violence are the same ones using violent resistance against the occupation?

But per the IHRA definition of antisemitism, which has been widely adopted (and here), anti-Zionism is antisemitic. Why do you hate Jewish people?

• Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.
• Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.

Totally unprovoked! Israel were the most moral army in the world until Hamas forced them to start offing kids in October 2023

Protection? They also need reparations after this.

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, which tracks violent incidents in the West Bank, said in its latest update on Wednesday that Israeli settlers had carried out 25 attacks against Palestinians in the previous week.

Wow. So if you fight for your land, your territory gets leveled and you get rapidly genocided, and if you try to coexist peacefully, you get slowly genocided?

Excuse me, please keep in mind that the terms “Palestinian children” and “children of Gaza” are now antisemitic. The most moral army in the world prefers different, more holocaust/genocide-sensitive terminology.

Alternate source since I’ve never heard of The Cradle” and have no idea if it is credible or not.

Thanks, today I learned about New Historians.

Last week, the treatment of Palestinian prisoners ignited a furious public row, as far right demonstrators – including members of Israel’s parliament – violently tried to prevent the arrest of soldiers accused of sexually abusing a prisoner from Gaza at the Sde Teiman military base. Some of those protesting were followers of Israel’s hardline security minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, the man in overall charge of the prison service. Mr Ben Gvir has frequently boasted that under his watch, conditions for Palestinian detainees have deteriorated sharply.

Such an shining example of Western values and democracy in the Middle East. Let’s send them more bombs and F-35s for self-defense against children huddling in schools and hospitals!

Don’t worry though, people who dislike Israel just secretly hate people for being Jewish. Totally not because of the decades of abuse.

Automatic upvote aside, the video is absolutely worth watching.

That fake bird has nothing on this fake bird.
