"One high-profile journalist targeted in this way was Al Jazeera reporter Anas Al-Sharif, who was killed along with four colleagues in an Israeli airstrike earlier this month. After his death, the Israeli army quickly circulated documents claiming he had been a Hamas operative since 2013. "Yet even if taken at face value, the files showed his last contact with Hamas was in 2017 – years before the current war," said F…

You're using the term "terrorist" to describe people indigenous to the land that Israel stole. If you use logic, that makes Israel that terrorist group since they used violence to kick Palestinians out of their land and homes, not the other way around.

Lookup the Jewish terrorist groups Irgu, Lehi, and Haganah. Lookup the assassination of Lord Moyne by Lehi and the 1946 Irgun bombing of the King David Hotel. The leaders of these terrorist groups eventually became Prime Ministers of Israel.

While you're at it, lookup the attack by the Israeli military on the USS Liberty that killed 34 Americans.

Hezbollah is the main political party in Lebanon. Anything can be related to the main political party of a country. It's like saying you can legally kill Israeli medics because they are "related to Likud". In any case, killing medics is a violation of the Hague and Geneva conventions and the internal law. If this story is hard for you to take seriously, there's thousands more stories, videos and witnessings of war cr…

Just worth clearing the point about Hezbollah in that context.

Hezbollah is not the “main” political party [1]

It is a major part of the government but not the main.

If they were the main party then it was Lebanon who attacked Israel following the war with Iran and not Hezbollah.

Lebanon is very pragmatic already and they actually have an army which isn’t Hezbollah.

Ever wondered why Israel has disproportionate amount of settlers in the West Bank, a land that doesn't belong to them? I bet that makes them a legitimate target.

In all your comments, you keep referring to the resistance groups fighting the Israeli occupation as terrorists, which I’m guessing makes you either an Israeli or pro-Israel. The IOF has been notoriously lying about killing and torturing civilians. Not only that, but even soldiers caught red-handed on video raping prisoners have not only gotten away scot-free but also been allowed to rejoin the army. Is there a reaso…

Why are you insinuating if your argument is supposedly so damning? Just state it plainly.

Oh wow! So they make dummy hospitals and put dummy meat bags of all sizes for camera time and social media post just to make Israel look bad when they hit those meat bags. That is some strategy.

If you are as ignorant as me: "A double tap, or double-tap, is the practice of following a strike [...] with a deliberately timed second strike in the same place several minutes later, usually in an attempt to maximize the casualties of an attack." "Double-tap strikes have been used by Saudi Arabia during its military intervention in Yemen, by the United States in Pakistan, Yemen, and the Gulf of Mexico, by Israel in…

The recent bombing of the bridge in Iran was apparently a double-tap strike by the US.

They are evil now and they will be nice when some goal is achieved, this does not make any sense.
