i was explained by moderator that it falls under "new phenomenon" part of guidelines and of interest to community

Weird how Sudan doesn't, totally not because of the Jews not being involved, totally.

The IDF was formed from the merger of 3 terrorist organizations responsible for bombings and murders of Palestinian, British and even Jewish civilians. Not much has changed.

They were forced to disband, lay down their arms and merge into pre-existing IDF, specifically because the methods are not acceptable, some of them declined and had to be disbanded by force.

Interesting, that when it comes to Israel, it's a scandal and not an exposure. With every other country, an apple would be an apple and not a banana.

Definitely. Not even talking about likes of Russia or China where said person would simply disappear.

>I see you ignored this opportunity to confirm the accused is innocent until proven guilty and deserves a fair trial before people call them rapists. Too bad. It's not actually required for someone involved in a discussion to waste their time responding to straw men. >This is just reporting, and it will need to be tested in court. Ah, so we've moved on from strawmanning to moving the goalposts.

Just because you called my argument a strawman doesn't make it one. Since I see you're not willing to advocate for normal common law justice, I don't think we'll ever agree, and I'll put this argument to rest. By the way, there is no serious debate about whether the video was altered. Any casual watcher an see it's spliced clips. The question is only whether it was altered maliciously, to paint a specific picture. Th…

>Just because you called my argument a strawman doesn't make it one.

No, of course not, the fact that you keep trying to derail the argument by mischaracterizing what the people you disagree with are saying makes it a straw man. No one here has rejected the common law convention or said there shouldn't be a trial. A sizable contingent of your ideological brethren have. You refuse to confront this, and that's your own cross to bear.

>By the way, there is no serious debate about whether the video was altered. Any casual watcher an see it's spliced clips. The question is only whether it was altered maliciously, to paint a specific picture. That is what needs to be tested in court.

Not especially, the material question is whether it depicts the assailants performing the acts that resulted in the prisoner's injuries. Notably, you've stopped even trying to argue that point.

Yeah yeah, and the 6000 trucks on the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing were just standing there for fun. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c0k77xm651jt https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2025-08-14/ty-article-ma... https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2025-08-12/ty-article-ma... Even now, during the ceasefire, Israel only allows goods in through Kerem Shalom and Kissufim and keeps the other crossings shut, even though…

I see you're linking to some debunked articles about the gaza starvation hoax. Do you seriously think Israel had a policy of starvation? Obesity is common in gaza; there are restaurants everywhere; there aren't any pictures of starving families; all the pictures of starving kids have turned out to be of kids with serious pre-existing conditions; there have been only about 200 malnutrition related deaths in two years…

And now we're onto gish galloping - word of advice that this tactic works best while speaking; when typing, lobbying a multitude of bullshit claims at a rapid pace doesn't have quite the same effect.

>Obesity is common in gaza

This maybe works as a claim if humans exist in non-linear time where 2020 and 2025 are perceived simultaneously. In fact, though, it's not a claim that any current data evinces.

>there are restaurants everywhere

And as we all know, a restaurant under rubble without sufficient access to ingredients or consistent utility supply is still operating at full capacity and its patrons don't need to have funds, able bodies, or the absence of the threat of random artillery strikes to avail themselves to their services.

>there aren't any pictures of starving families; all the pictures of starving kids have turned out to be of kids with serious pre-existing conditions

Adults have more developed organs and digestive systems than children and those pre-existing conditions are ones that would either have been managed with sufficient access to food or had resulted from prenatal nutritional deficiencies caused by insufficient access to food. Your previous point was solipsistic, this kind of immaterial distinction, though, is just cynical.

>there have been only about 200 malnutrition related deaths in two years of war in gaza

Outside of a comment on Threads, I can't find any source for this. I wonder how many qualifiers you'll add to the ynetnews editorial you'll quote in support of this one.

>no belligerent in the history of war has ever allowed in more aid to the opposing side than Israel.

Per Israel and its material partners, yeah. Not so much per every internationally recognized human rights watchdog, aid organizations that aren't staffed by mercenaries and funded by the IDF and the US, or genocide scholars and other academics in related fields. It's unclear whether simple credulity or ideological priors are at play in accepting such a premise.

One Zionist says the caught-on-video-rapists are innocent until proven guilty. Another Zionist says that the unknown and untried Palestinian as a valid target for rape. Another Zionist says that rape can be self-defense. What a movement.

so, you admit that what you said about "knesset debate on right to rape" is lie ?

> A member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party, speaking Monday at a meeting of lawmakers, justified the rape and abuse of Palestinian prisoners, shouting angrily at colleagues questioning the alleged behavior that anything was legitimate to do to "terrorists" in custody.

There is no rape shown in the video.

It is really a gross thing to do when you try to convince us that what we saw — in that deliberate act of sexual abuse — is not what it is: rape.

But what else can I expect from the movement that justifies murder and starvation of children as necessary for peace.

Look, I also find sarcasm extremely annoying, it's an anathema to meaningful discussion. However... your non-sarcastic interpretation is clearly in bad faith, and ratchets up the hostility even further. Why post this jeering reply?

He's advocating for a return to medieval methods of justice, and trying to cloak that advocacy with sarcasm. If that's not worth derision (the kind of derision where you simply point out what one is saying), what then is worth derision?

I fail to see how that conclusion is even possible. He's not advocating for anything, he's just taking the opportunity to dunk on Israel.

His actual cloaked argument, insofar as it exists, is that Israel does not uphold these standards you value. You clearly disagree, and of course the sarcasm is unproductive, but he's not advocating barbarity (but levying an accusation of it).
