I am not sure about your source. apart from blaming Israel with falsehoods such as organ theft, it has well known ties to Hamas https://ngo-monitor.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Kahel-and... Here its founding team posing next to Hamas leader. Even if we take it in face value it does not show Israeli repression of Palestinian speech in Gaza, while Hamas has been regularly executing and torturing over speech

I am not sure about your source. It looks like it is biased and promotes falsehoods: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/ngo-monitor-bias/ > Overall, we rate the NGO Monitor Right biased based on support for the right-wing Israeli government. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting based on the consistent promotion of pro-Israeli propaganda.

maybe, even though NGO monitor is not associated with a terrorist organization , however that's still a photo, unless you claim it is doctored or the people themselves are not the people purported.

That's why we can go to the original in Facebook and see the chairman of EuroMed tagged, https://www.facebook.com/DrArafatShoukri/photos/t.1000537951...

I don't know about that, if settlers in the West Bank cop some violence then that's going to be considered well deserved. Soldiers of 'a government' committing murder, rape and hostage taking on a music festival is going to earn you a bit of looking away to the consequences. I don't expect them to do nothing, I expect them to come to a deal not sacrifice everything in an eternal and vain attempt to remove Israel from…

> I don't expect them to do nothing, I expect them to come to a deal Well that is what they did. People like you told shite like "The war ends if they release the hostages". They agreed to the first step of the peace plan. They released the hostages. They are keeping the truce. (Israel claims they killed a few soldiers but that seem to be a lie, they probably died from explosive that were already lying around). So wh…

> Palestinians have treated their hostages as well as they could

82 of the 251 hostages taken by Hamas on Oct 7th were killed.

Give ‘em hell Netanyahu.

So standing soldiers of the occupying army taken from a military kibbutz mere miles from the world's largest open air concentration camp? Hind al-Rajab was 6 years old and was found with hundreds of bullets inside her body. This is not a game Israel can afford to play, so let's just rewind to the beginning and ask how many the Irgun and Haganah killed and bombed to strong-arm the British into giving them Palestine? O…

False. Eden was bartending at a music festival when she was taken. She was not taken from a military base.

Kfir Bibas was 9 months old when he was taken and Ariel Bibas was 4 years old when he was taken. Neither had been in the military. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidnapping_and_killing_of_the_...

Another problem is what happens when police stop to search you. You don't want to have "please beat me dead" app installed when it's happens.

If goons are killing you for having an app you don't need more apps, you need a gun.

Use that gun and Israel defends itself. By killing 100 civilians in an appartment complex with an Americian bomb.

Who killed them? Israeli bombs.

Netanyahu cares more about murdering Palestinians than saving his own people.

It's either a gross ignorance or gross deceit to compare those numbers to the amount of civilians who have been killed during the Palestinian genocide. A terrorist attack doesn't give you the right to ignore human rights.

The international criminal court has an arrest warrant for Netanyahu. He is a war criminal. Get your facts straight.

No Jews live in Gaza.

Israelis live in Palestine though - it's just that any area they live gets renamed from "Palestine" to "Israel", usually accompanied by heavily artillery fire and drone strikes, to clear out the natives.

I wish more people were upfront with the truth like you are. A very sensible interpretation of your words is

a) All land between Jordan river and mediterranean sea should be called Palestine

b) only Arabs are natives of that lands.

Here b) is plainly wrong -- Both arabs and jews continuously lived in that area for hundreds and for Jews -- thousands -- of years. and a) implies that the state of Israel does not have a right to exist.

This basically a two sentence version of "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" slogan where its clear that we are not talking about West Bank and Gaza, but rather the entire land including Israel.

THanks for clarifying it

Fair enough, that particular kibbutz is not military, but most in the vicinity around Gaza were, and as I'm sure you know, the killed hostages along with most adult Israelis were either serving or former members of the IDF, the army of the occupying state that was formed by the merging of the Irgun and Haganah and still shares much of the same people and ideologies.

Yes, both of those kids were killed by Israel as clearly stated in your link, along with many others, because Netanyahu preferred carpet bombing as many Gazans as possible and didn't care whether it included hostages.

The defense of murder, rape, Holocaust denial, blood libels -- all grist for the Bitchat for Gaza and HN mill. Man, what a tidal wave of antisemitism we're experiencing.
