So what have the israelis actually found??
What I saw was a handful of weapons and a laptop. Not some headquarters
Very unconvinced so far. But the fog of war and disinformation is in full swing
They release proof of the hostages being taken there directly after the attack.
It looks as if Hamas sensed the attack coming and pulled out before the IDF arrived
All the doctors there claiming there never was any Hamas there are kind of full of shit - if people with a meat cleaver walking the hallways having people with bags on their heads in tow is normal there I'm not sure what to think anymore...
It would be completely normal to take injured hostages/prisoners to a hospital, and keep them under guard. In fact it's the required action in international law.
So no the presence of a couple bodies in the morgue and a few guys with AKs doesn't prove shit.
You literally chose the most biased source to get your information from and are surprised when all they find are "a handful of weapons and a laptop."
Yeah bud, they found a lot more then that, and no the people who committed the biggest Jewish genocide since the holocaust PROBABY weren't thinking of required action in international law
You are 100% the type of intellectual to think that silence or eventual banal agreement toward you is genuine and not a placation to avoid someone who never learned how to be wrong.
Did you really just compare 1400 deaths to the Holocaust? What about the 10,000 Gazans? Are they not human enough for you?
And, no. Even CNN is running articles saying there needs to be more evidence.
-CNN
-New York Times
And I just went to go find those. I've been looking directly at the videos Israel released. Which are ridiculous on their face.
Yeah I did because it was the truth, and there's no need to resort to whataboutism on the Israel/palastiniane crisis of all things. Yes I think 10,000 gazan deaths is awful, to try to just compare the situation based on numbers alone is just another manipulation, that would really only work on children. So you're essentially a bully who tells himself it's for a good cause.
That type of wording is incredibly common with publications trying to keep a poise of neutrality, as it is true that more evidence would clarify the situation. They aren't denying the proof, they're simply saying more will be needed, as any neutral publication would. Here's a much more relavant snippet,
"The White House has backed Israel’s claims, saying that Hamas was storing weapons and operating a command node from Al-Shifa, citing US intelligence."
My bias is trusting telescopes about 100x the strength of hubble pointed back at the earth's surface. I think it's a pretty fair bias but I guess we'll see, I doubt this is a repeat of" guaranteed nuclear weapons" but obviously there's potential.
Everyone is awful in the I/P crisis, an objective observer with the full backgroun will always, always side with Israel. The plight of the modern palastinian child is literally the only objectionable part of this and Hamas will continue to use this until they are replaced with another religious dictatorship.
Because with friends like you, eternally echoing the idea of their complete innocence, there's about a 0% chance palestine is getting any less fueled by holy war anytime soon.
So the Palestinians are just numbers to you. Great. Thanks for the confirmation.
The last time the world took the White House's word on intelligence without seeing the proof, we ended up with a 20 year hangover. You don't get to handwave war crimes. You either have the evidence or you don't. And before you say they need time to explore the tunnels, this is what robots are for. They even give a convenient video feed and if they get blown up then oh well, it was a robot. The entire assertion that they need time for soldier safety is bullshit.
Objective observers don't accept war crimes without immediate mitigating evidence. Make believe graphics and maintenance tunnel hatches aren't it. Neither is common middle eastern security guard equipment.
Also, you'll notice I've never said Hamas was innocent. But only one side in this war is actively committing genocide.
