When was hamas "effectively eliminated as a credible major threat"? Wasn't there yesterday a new item how they have at least 200 fighters stuck in ambush tunnels behind the yellow line and demand to be taken, with their weapons, to safety, in Red Cross vehicles? They added they would refuse any deal that didn't let them keep their weapons, instead they would keep up attacks, despite agreeing to a ceasefire stating ot…

I'm done discussing this. You are entirely blind to failures of the Israeli government and you do not see Palestinian lives as worth saving. There is zero reflection.

His vision is fine. He didn't say Palestinian lives aren't worth saving (you misread him), and the genocide hoax has been debunked.

The whole situation is so extreme it almost reads like sick parody. Last year there were riots in Israel when some IDF soldiers were arrested for raping prisoners. The riots were in defense of the rapists, and were attended not only by extremist Israeli civilians but also Israeli lawmakers, who stormed the military base where the rapists were being held. The leaker releases a video of some of the abuse and is then ac…

This is common in fundamentalist theocracies.

... and does not exist in Israel, which is a liberal democracy, not a theocracy, and not fundamentalist.

Yeah good catch on the first Prime Minister bit. But let's hear you try to whitewash the Deir Yassin massacre. Irgun were wicked.

Irgun had nothing to do with Deir Yassin, it was the Etzel and Lehi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8bkqqvoGpc

Irgun and Etzel are different names for the same organization. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irgun

"Hannah Arendt and Albert Einstein, in a letter to The New York Times in 1948, compared Irgun and its successor Herut party to "Nazi and Fascist parties" and described it as a "terrorist, right wing, chauvinist organization" "

You're right, there actually are lots on Google Maps. Except some of them would be beyond the Yellow Line, in the area where the IDF troops are and which is strictly off-limits for civilians. And none of them have any reviews that are newer than from two years ago. (Compare with the markers on the Israeli side where the latest reviews are often just weeks or days old)

There are active restaurants in Hamas-controlled areas. There are hundreds of videos (and recent google reviews) proving this. Here's one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFjhyAsHYFo

Come on dude, none of this makes any sense.

Netanyahu in march officially ordered the IDF to block all aid [1] (though he later pretended he didn't [2]). That blockade was kept up for three months, until international pressure got too strong because even international staff reported being dizzy from hunger.

Where were all those restaurants getting their fresh meat and vegetables and chocolate sauce from after 3 months of blockade?

So either the IDF is grossly incompetent and can't maintain their own siege or that youtuber is lying and showing videos from before the war.

(I guess we have to extend "the enemy is both strong and weak" with "our own military is both strong and weak")

The videos also don't show even a hint of destruction, even though the restaurants are close to areas that were hit by airstrikes.

The youtuber was nice enough to include a callout of that in his own video, though I'm not sure he read it. [3]

Why would Gazans even put themselves at risk and go to the GHF distribution points if they could just go to the pizza place down the street?

> (and recent google reviews)

Then show me some from this summer, because I don't see any.

Btw, Israel is still partially blocking aid, this time with buerocratic excuses: They ban aid organizations they don't like (quasi-terrorist organizations like Save the Children), then forbid any other aid org to take over their cargo. [4]

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).

I agree with you that if all he did was attack the Israeli court system, we could have a reasonable discussion. However, he was not dunking on Israel, he was dunking on the enlightenment and western values of jurisprudence, for example the right to a fair trial and the concept of presumed innocence. In any event, his comment was flagged and is now deleted, so apparently the mods agreed with me.

As a heads up, flagging is rarely done by mods, and overwhelmingly done by normal users with sufficient karma to do so, so it probably wasn't Dan or Scott. For example, the comment header for the comment I am currently replying to looks as follows:

The videos are current, and there are hundreds more like them. Sorry to burst your bubble!

The ingredients (chocolate, vegetables, fresh meat) are let in by Israel, which has let in 1.8 million metric tons of aid during the war, more than any belligerent in history. Educate yourself.

I strongly condemn the October terrorist attack but I don’t see how someone can defend the morality of the IDF after the Gaza campaign. We are talking of an army arbitrarily establishing no go zone in the middle of streets, not publishing them and then having snipers shoot down civilians crossing these imaginary lines including the ones coming to get back the corpses of their murdered family members. An army so blood…

> have not just been subject to disinformation ,but actively spread it.

Just to be clear because this comment is ambiguous. Both of my statements come from internationally reputable sources including Israeli one. There is an interview with IDF snipers where they openly state what I wrote - video is available on sky news - and multiple accounts in Haaretz. The hostages killing by the IDF was a scandal inside Israel and completely true.

Both statements are beyond doubts. Could you be so kind as to point the disinformation I’m allegedly spreading?

The first prime minister of Israel was David Ben-Gurion. Targeting the British during the Mandate was an act of anti-colonization, not unlike other factions that wanted independence from the British at that time, and the Irgun did warn the British before hand but they did not evacuate the hotel which was the central offices of the British Mandate and the Headquarters of the British Army

Yeah good catch on the first Prime Minister bit. But let's hear you try to whitewash the Deir Yassin massacre. Irgun were wicked.

There is nothing to whitewash about wars and war crimes, they happen in every war, and are inexcusable in every war, no matter the side.

For every war crime from Jewish side you can always point to a similar one from Arab side, this finger pointing is not useful for anything but spurring more hate and igniting the conflict over and over.

Not restaurants under rubble, but restaurants serving faties today.

You should credit Mr. Fuld, plagiarizing hasbara seems a bit gauche.

Caused by prenatal nutritional deficiencies that wouldn't have occurred if they weren't born under siege. It's pretty wild that Zionists are still engaging in this transparently cynical fuff.

Yeah, this time it comes from an unsourced post on Threads. Not that it would matter, much like the charge of genocide, ICL doesn't require a particular threshold of deaths.

I'll defer to the FAO, WFP, Oxfam, EU JRC and any number of actual authorities on what constitutes one of those.

Nobody with a material interest in supporting Israeli expansionism, yeah.
