Zero video or photo evidence, all claims lead to a single unreliable israeli propaganda site called Channel 12.

No mention of the boy on any non israeli "news" site.

What happened to talking about unreliable sources? I guess any IDF propaganda without evidence is completely fine but anti israel news with picture and video evidence isn't reliable.

[–] nekandro@lemmy.ml 32 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Why is this source even allowed? They provided no real evidence other than pointing to Channel 12.

[–] snek@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Is there a video? I can't see it on Channel 12, only snapshots of it. Maybe because I'm on mobile.

If you ever start thinking your life is miserable, think about people living in Gaza. It’s truly unfair that they have to live these lives...

On one hand, they have to deal with Hamas - atrocious terrorists who turned Gaza into the one of the most impoverished regions in the world. They stole everything they could and even behave terribly towards the citizens.

And on the other hand, they have IDF here which don't care very much about their lives and caused quite a lot of damage, as well. Add to that Israel's current right wing government and situation cannot be worse.

Oh surely you think it cannot be worse? It still can. Pretty much no one from Gaza can leave to another country because no other country will accept Gazans. Maybe because for the last 18 years they have been indoctrinated into thinking that killing a Jewish is the most saint action you can do.

Truer words man.... Palestinians have it rough. Honestly I can't see it improving under Hamas in any scenario. Keeping them poor and in pain keeps Hamas in power.

Perhaps when Israel take control they'll do the smart thing and pump some money into the region...it'd be a hard sell for any government though after Oct 7.

[–] samokosik@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 11 months ago

They will pump money into it but I am afraid it can end just like west bank did.

As always with any story, its important to get evidence.

[–] guriinii@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

According to channel 12. So not credible at all. They're Zionist loons.

[–] skeezix@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Of course. It’s critical of hamas so obviously it must be fake.

[–] guriinii@lemmy.world 23 points 11 months ago (2 children)

No, you can be critical of hamas. But the presenters are full on genocidal.

It's making big claims without source

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@kbin.social 13 points 11 months ago

I'll wait for evidence and/or more reporting, but unless something comes out this is pretty damning.

[–] Fades@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The cognitive dissonance in the comments is pathetic as always. Fuck the IDF but also fuck Hamas. Anything negative on Hamas is instantly discredited until the proof is unquestionable.

So much good faith in Hamas when they don’t deal in good faith themselves:

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/hamas-islamic-jihad-reject-giving-up-power-return-permanent-ceasefire-egyptian-2023-12-25/

CAIRO, Dec 25 (Reuters) - Hamas and the allied Islamic Jihad have rejected an Egyptian proposal that they relinquish power in the Gaza Strip in return for a permanent ceasefire, two Egyptian security sources told Reuters on Monday.

Hamas is 100% continuing this war just like the IDF is, they are both disgusting and are using the Palestinian people as the pawns

[–] AquaTofana@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I agree. 100%. Like YES, Israel is being maximum scum by retaliating with excessive force. We get it, they have all the "1st world countries" funding them. They keep murdering people with a crazy multiplier compared to Palestine.

But to pretend that Hamas is not at all culpable or disgusting for their OWN actions is not it.

[–] rxbudian@lemmy.ca 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Hamas has an official police force?

A story with zero evidence?

And Israel has been killing so many Hamas but they still openly have police patrolling the streets?

[–] snek@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This is disgusting and should never happen.

[–] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

True. But looking at the sources it most likely didn't.
