  • We don't know definitively, but the IDF has been the one spreading FUD and repeatedly lying about the incident, so...

    Hamas has been remarkably consistent in their claims and recent OSINT analysis is overwhelmingly in support of an Israeli strike.

  • What's a more likely target for state actors:

    A small federated social media platform with a limited audience and that, by design, decentralizes control

    OR

    Reddit, which literally has Atlantic Council members deciding content moderation policy

    It's not anyone else's fault that the US has been taking L after L recently internationally.

  • The UN Charter is the foundational document that the UN is built on. UNCLOS is a convention (one that, for what it's worth, the US never ratified). The PCA is a non-UN body that's sometimes used as an arbitration mechanism between two parties to avoid conflict.

    Do you have any grasp on international law, or do you just enjoy whataboutism?

  • Over the however many years of the Donbass conflicts and the Russia-Ukraine war, less children died than in a few weeks of bombings by Israel. Russia has oriented their invasion primarily towards regions that are ethnically Russian. Israel has oriented their invasion primarily towards regions that are ethnically Palestinian Arabs. Today, the civilian death toll in Gaza (7000) after less than three weeks of fighting is approaching that in the Russian War in Ukraine (9500) after almost two years and already exceeds that of the Ukrainian War in Donbass (~3500) after 7 years of fighting.

    The Russia-Ukraine war is a war, and it reflects in how it's been conducted. No single strike throughout either war caused 500+ civilian casualties. Neither side has tried to level the others' cities entirely (though both sides have struck civilian targets and used disproportionate force). Neither side has sought the eradication of the others' peoples. Both sides are, to a significant degree, similarly equipped and armed. Both sides could enter into peace negotiations at any time and those peace negotiations won't involve the complete removal of either people from their country. The closest comparable is maybe Ukraine on Donbass, but the same still holds: neither side came even close to the level of disregard for human life that the IDF is exhibiting.

    Israel isn't Russia-lite, Israel is worse. They're not even close to comparable.

  • Israel's clamped down on more legitimate sources and is even trying to kick of Al Jazeera (which has consistently led in terms of accuracy in journalism).

    American news isn't a good source for unbiased news either, but people still post it.
