  • 'There are mistakes, it is war': Israeli commander indicates IDF were behind white flag shooting

    Jump

  • It doesn't fit your narrative, but the civilian/military casualty numbers are on the high side of normal for urban combat.

    Super weird to defend distributing Hamas propaganda. Helping them hurts Palestinians too, who generally don't like Hamas.

  • 'There are mistakes, it is war': Israeli commander indicates IDF were behind white flag shooting

    Jump

  • You're including both civilian and soldier deaths (which is what Hamas wants you to do, don't help them). Best estimates are now 8-10k Hamas soldiers, 16-18k civilians.

  • Bystander, noun: "a person who is present at an event or incident but does not take part."

    They were bystanders until they were taken hostage. Now they're being forced to take part involuntarily, which makes them victims.

    Super weird point to fight on. Obviously there are victims in every war.

  • They look more like victims to me, being taken hostage for 4 months and all. But you do you

  • U.S. Chamber of Commerce publicly opposes S. Korea's proposed online platform rules

    Jump

  • Fun fact: the US Chamber of Commerce is not a government agency. It's just a private (nonprofit) business that loves to be confused with one.

  • Framework for ceasefire deal being put to Hamas, Qatar’s PM says

    Jump

  • That's a fair point. I don't know to what extent they were involved in negotiations. I think it was significant as we've had several days of news about "constructive" negotiations, but I can't prove that.

  • Framework for ceasefire deal being put to Hamas, Qatar’s PM says

    Jump

  • Ok but if they have no interest in a ceasefire or hostage exchange, then they are by definition negotiating in bad faith...

  • The International Court of Selective Justice - The Atlantic

    Jump

  • Sounds like you guys are just mad an international court disagreed with you. If that makes them "illegitimate", then you don't actually want justice.

    Inb4 seething

  • You including the hostages in that?

  • Framework for ceasefire deal being put to Hamas, Qatar’s PM says

  • In what universe would a ceasefire be counterproductive to Hamas? They're getting wrecked on a daily basis.

    I don't think they have 35 "returnable" hostages at this point.

  • Framework for ceasefire deal being put to Hamas, Qatar’s PM says

    Jump

  • Holy shit 4000 prisoners for 35 hostages and Hamas still says no. Pretty clear they're not negotiating in good faith.

  • Deleted

    Israel agrees to the Paris hostage deal

    Jump

  • Since an indecent chunk of people here seem to not consider Israeli's as human, you should be aware that Hamas has a history of using Palestinian children as suicide bombers.

  • Japan suspends funding to UNRWA over alleged staff ties to Oct. 7 Hamas attack

    Jump

  • Even if that were true, which it isn't, Japan isn't a party to the ruling. They can choose to donate their own money (or not) however they want.

    I suggest you read the actual ruling and dissenting opinion, they're quite informative.

  • This isn't remotely true but ok

    Norway to stand by UNRWA amid false Israeli claims

    Jump

  • More accurate title: "Palestinian Authority office in Norway continues to support UNRWA despite it's members allegedly participating in October 7th attack"

    The allegations are widely believed and cannot accurately be called "false Israeli allegations".

    Also this source is literally a terrorist propaganda network. From wikipedia:

    [Almayadeen] is a Hezbollah-aligned Lebanese pan-Arabist satellite news television channel based in the city of Beirut.

  • UN agency fires staff members allegedly involved in October 7 attacks | CNN

    Jump

  • Horrifying, but not surprising. Remember the UNRWA teachers celebrating October 7th? Seems like over the last decade Hamas has really got into the organization.

  • Blast that Killed About 20 Soldiers Linked to Israeli Efforts to Create Gaza Buffer Zone

    Jump

  • Quite the contrary, Israel removed them unilaterally 20 years ago. Doesn't really fit your narrative though so feel free to dump a wall of text with conspiracy-tier sources.

  • Israel rejects Hamas Gaza war truce, lays out own terms

    Jump

  • Realistically I don't see any way Israel would accept a truce that leaves Hamas in power. It'd be kind of like a truce with Al-Qaeda in 2002, in a world where Afghanistan borders New York.

    Inb4 the genocide accusations

  • Blast that Killed About 20 Soldiers Linked to Israeli Efforts to Create Gaza Buffer Zone

    Jump

  • There are no Israeli settlements in Gaza just FYI, but this was a profoundly stupid thing to do.
