Of course, 100%.

Copying what I replied to another comment - I’d rather wait for an official report from the UN or an investigative story from an unbiased news outlet like Reuters (to decide whether this is authentic or propaganda).

Disproved in the context of the claims.

You're right, good catch.

It's a very strange mistake to make on their part, I assume the IDF has many Arabic speakers.

It'll be very interesting to see how everything else in the video will unfold.

I'd rather wait for an official report from the UN or an investigative story from an unbiased news outlet like Reuters.

It will probably be more reliable than the top comment.

I'm unfamiliar with that, can you share more info? What was the lie and how it was disproven?

They showed much more than that, including equipment, clothes and a motorcycle that are suspected to have been used in the 7/10 atrocities.

They do say that they are still investigating and going over the evidence, but show and make it clear that they did find weapons and a command post inside the hospital.

Regarding the planted comment - well, if that's what you believe then it doesn't really matter what they show, doesn't it? You've already made up your mind and it doesn't matter what the evidence show..

Unfortunately no winners here, as is with most wars.

You probably should.

Whether you agree or not, it's always a good idea to hear both sides, otherwise there's a good chance you'll end up in an echo chamber.

If their story is fabricated it'll fall apart very quickly.

Not that I know of, but it's 5am there, so maybe later on.

Property lines the same international community admits and admonishes Israel for violating and the very same that have says time and time again gazan occupation is a crime by international law

Justifying - I was referring to this (on a side note - Israel isn't occupying Gaza for nearly 20 years now).

Ok, so if understand you correctly, you're saying that due to the disproportionality between Israel and Hamas military capabilities, the regional Islamist extremists are joining in to balance the playing field?

Maybe. Personally I don't think so. I don't think any of these organisation really cares about the Palestinians, but they do see an opportunity.

I reckon they think that the world and Israel is so busy with Gaza that they can get away with it, similar to what Putin is now doing in Ukraine.

It almost sounds like you're justifying Hamas's actions.

I fully understand the context, I'm just not sure I understand what it has to do with a post I wrote about the potential escalation to a regional war.

As tragic as it is, not everything is about the suffering of the Palestinians.

That's a hugely inaccurate analogy. This is an armed conflict. People are dying and this child rampaged through the aged man's internationally recognised property lines and committed the most horrendous atrocities the world has seen in 60 years.

But, again, I'm not sure I understand what this has to do with what I originally said.

I'm not sure I understand what you tried to say here. I was referring to Hamas's leaders motivations and the current climate in Israel, not to Israel's actions in Gaza.

There hasn’t been a major attack on Israel since the “war” began

That's just incorrect.

At this point he doesn't have a choice. Hamas offered to release about a dozen hostages for a ceasefire.

The Israelis repeatedly declared that there won't be any ceasefire without the release of all the hostages.

If he accepts anything else he's most likely to loose all control.

Unfortunately it seems that they will get what they want.

Israel has been bombarded with nearly 10,000 rockets, ballistic missiles and bomb carrying drones over the last month - from Gaza to the centre, Lebanon to the north and Yemen and Iran to the south. In addition there are almost daily terror attacks coming from the west bank.

There are civilian fatalities every day there. A school was recently hit and destroyed from a ballistic missile hit. Thankfully the city that was hit moved to online studies due to the threats so it was empty.

The only reason we don't see a death toll of thousands of Israelis is due to extreme defence measurements including the evacuation of more than 250,000 Israelis from the north and centre.

The whole situation is just escalating by the day and the massive attacks are fuelling Israelis rage.

Both the Houthis and Hezbollah hinted a massive attack tomorrow. Another serious hit to Israeli civilians will send this whole thing over a cliff.

Israel announced right at the start that its target is to eliminate Hamas and PIJ.

Since there are:

1. About 30,000-40,000 Hamas members in the Al-Qassam Brigades and
2. About 6,000 members in the PIJ and
3. Assuming 1 civilian casualty per 3 combative casualties

Then unless something substantial changes, the death toll is expected to rise to around 50k-60k . This is really just the beginning.

First of all, sarcasm bro

Sorry mate, so many layers and seriously made wild claims that it's becoming really hard to detect..

While the phenomenon of blaming valid criticism as antisemitism exists, the counter claim which you made is now completely weaponised.

In this entire thread, you're the only person that mentioned antisemitism and the vast majority of the comments are very one sided in criticising Israel.

The latest UN Document for Children and Armed Conflict report https://www.securitycouncilreport.org/atf/cf/{65BFCF9B-6D27-4E9C-8CD3-CF6E4FF96FF9}/S_2023_363.pdf , item 95 - identifies and calls to stop PIJ and Hamas from "killing and maiming and the recruitment and use of children"

This is the most official source on the matter.
