BBC journalists held at gunpoint by Israeli police

Reply in thread

those IDF soldiers would have to be pretty fucking stupid to accidentally do a hate crime on the large van marked "TV" when there are plenty of other people in beating range they could do a hate crime on with no consequences.

Hanlon's razor be damned this was 100% on purpose.

Edit: and it's not like Israel has a history of killing journalists or anything. Please don't look up "Shireen Abu Aqla", nothing to see there

Edit edit: Shireen ain't the only one, ~20 in 20 years.

Israel kills Al-Jazeera correspondent’s family days after Blinken demands the channel’s coverage be ‘toned down’

Reply in thread

Oh come off it. You're all up and down these posts repeating lies about Hamas using human shields or how driving the civilians out of their homes in mass does not constitute ethnic cleansing.

Btw here's the actual definition of "ethnic cleansing"

the mass expulsion or killing of members of an unwanted ethnic or religious group in a society.

You argued with me that it's totally legit that the IDF isn't letting journalists verify footage of supposed Hamas atrocities but the IDF is cool with showing that footage to journalists in a private setting where they're not allowed to record anything.

You whine constantly that Al Jazeera isn't legitimate but you haven't posted a single source to debunk any of their reporting.

Post some sources of your own or sit down

'Top secret' Hamas documents show that terrorists intentionally targeted elementary schools and a youth center

Reply in thread

Copied from myself elsewhere:

In 94 we (royal) almost had peace. In '93 The Oslo accords promised Palestinians self governance in 5 years. Israel under Rabin and Abbas with the PLO had an agreement for Palestine to be run by the PA in the mean time and work towards peace.

Rabin along with either Abbas or Arafat (can't remember) even pulled Israeli troops out of occupied Palestine and gave land back as part of the peace agreement, marking the most significant step towards peace we will see.

But then Rabin was assassinated in 95 by a zionist. Israel turns over to Netanyahu. Netanyahu refuses to meet with Arafat.

Oslo II fell apart as the US refused to recognize Hamas (who had popular support), preferring the secular Fatah (PA). Whats the point in holding an election if it wont be recognized anyways? Hamas doesn’t enter the '96 race.

At some point Netanyahu starts funding Hamas knowing that he can also pit Hamas against the Fatah. Netanyahu will fund Hamas on multiple occasions throughout the 90’s and 2000’s.

In '97 the US declares Hamas a terrorist group, ending any chance of an election that satisfies the people.

Hamas wins the '06 election

Pilot who ‘tried to shut off engines mid-flight was high on magic mushrooms’

Reply in thread

The headline is propaganda but not for that reason.

Dude was in the cockpit and pulled the fuel cutoff valves for the plane. The pilot and copilot kicked him out of the cockpit and re-engaged the fuel pumps and continued flying. Dude ran up to the fight attendants and told them that they need to handcuff him. Then he tried to open the emergency exit.

It's propaganda because he said he took the mushrooms 40 hours ago they don't last that long and he was also sleep deprived and emotionally unstable due to the recent death of a friend

U.S. intel agencies believe hospital blast caused by Palestinian rocket that broke apart after engine failure, officials say

Literally no new info. "We watched the videos on liveleak and while we don't know what happened we know it wasn't our team".

And what's this?

The audio was not the same as that released publicly by Israel’s military previously, and it was vetted and deemed authentic, the official said.

Oh come the fuck on. Who is still buying this shit? "Hamas beheaded babies! JK we didn't say that. But heres 42 minutes of footage that confirms it but we will only let journalists watch if we can strap them down like Alex in A Clockwork Orange. Here's our evidence we didn't attack Al-Ahli. Ohh that's been determined to be fake by a 3rd party? Well we actually have extra secret audio we didn't tell you about before"

Netanyahu is somehow "my girlfriend goes to a different school"-ing his way through this war and dumbasses are lapping it up.

The US has microphones at the bottom of the fucking ocean to listen for submarines and I'm expected to believe we don't have a single camera pointed at Israel/Palestine? Come the fuck on.

Occam's Razor, the simpler answer is probably the correct one -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyNLvL_8SeY

Pro-Palestine NYU Law Student Speaks Out After Losing Job Offer

Reply in thread

I’m Jewish clergy, which makes it even harder for me to express my thoughts on Israel and it’s government

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
