Genuine ask - no BS or anything here. Has anyone else seen like the same three posters on this sublem bombard it with some of the most hilariously pro-Hamas biased content I’ve ever seen? Like, effectively personal blogs being passed around here as literal legitimate news being reported. It’s WILD to see in real time.
A ceasefire where Hamas gets to keep their hostages is a huge Hamas victory. Advocating for something which gives Hamas a huge victory will be interpreted by some as support for Hamas.
These demonstrations are full of Palestinian flags, without an Israeli one in sight. It’s hard to argue against them being partisan
I don’t understand how your comment relates to mine. Do you believe that because I consider a cessation of hostilities where Hamas keeps their hostages a victory for Hamas, that I mean to say that rescuing hostages is the scope of Israel’s campaign?
It clearly isn’t. Israel intends to destroy Hamas and are appallingly callous about the collateral damage they cause in the process
The Hamas active members can have time to hide and reset for another attack if there is a cease fire. They’ll refortify the hospitals and schools they use to hide, as well as gather civilans for shields. They can set up booby traps for a ground invasion into Gaza.
I’m sure they’ve already done all that considering they were the ones that initiated this conflict. They had to have known a ground invasion was likely after attacking Israel.
They’ve been mostly locked in place since 8th October. There’s no way for them to regroup and refortify with Israel dropping bombs on anything which looks like a terrorist. A ceasefire would let them regroup in civilian buildings, which I think we all want to avoid. They have to qualms with using children as human shields, so we need to keep the terrorists pinned down and get away from those children.
How bad do you think Israel is at carpet bombing? Honestly, multiple weeks of carpet bombing, by any modern estimate, should dismantle all of Gaza. That very demonstrably has not happened.
So are they really, really bad at it or are they not attempting it?
Terrorists come kill your family. You call the police, and someone replies “there’s been enough violence.” Meanwhile the terrorists continue to advocate for killing your extended family as well as numerous other families, and you know these threats are credible because they continue trying
restricting the access to clean drinking water, electricity, food and fuel for the general population
preventing people fleeing the war zone
Blocking humanitarian aid to enter
bombing areas that they told the civilian population is safe
preventing humanitarian aid to enter the enclave
Cutting the access to the internet and telephone, so people are not even able to call an ambulance or check how their loved ones are fairing.
While actively refusing to admit that with their actions they have caused a humanitarian catastrophe, despite what UN, Red Crescent and I don’t know how many more international agencies are saying.
Refusing to even call for a humanitarian pause to let some needed aid enter the enclave
while killing 10 times more civilians, babies, kids and women and causing immensely more suffering for the innocents.
You can’t be a genius to see that one evil doesn’t give you the right or the moral high ground to commit even greater evil.
Demonstrably not happening, as there are aid convoys in south gaza right now.
preventing humanitarian aid to enter the enclave
I think this is really shitty of Egypt, Jordan, etc to do, yes. Israel and the US tried to get them to take refugees. Took forever to even get them to send aid.
The rest is pretty typical of urban combat, so no, not genocide. If you want civilians to not die in an urban warzone, you ask them to leave the warzone. Urban fighting is ludicrously dangerous.
They let a token number of trucks in to give them a talking point… just like you used it now.
70 trucks were let in since October 7th. The UNRWA had something like 200-500 trucks going in daily before the war…
So normally there would have been 11,000 truck deliveries for humanitarian aid in this window, now there are only 70… 0.6% of need is satisfied, prewar need at that…
Are you kidding. How many trucks have been allowed. Do you think they are enough?!? We are talking about 2.5 Mln people.
You are writing all this from the comfort of your own house, people there don’t have a roof over their heads. You can’t even fathom what conditions they are living in. Are they all deserve to suffer?
How many more civilians need to die to condemn Israel? 10K, 20K, 50K, 1M?
Karim Khan said that impeding aid deliveries for Gaza could constitute a war crime and that there must be an effort by Israel to ensure vital supplies are allowed in.
Prior to this, some 500 trucks carrying aid and other goods had entered the territory every day.
So to put things into perspective, for 3 straight weeks only 117 trucks carrying humanitarian aid entered the enclave.
A division of the Israeli military responsible to overseeing civilian affairs in Gaza (COGAT) said this morning that it would allow increased supplies through the Rafah crossing in the coming days.
Not to mention that the same officials are constantly trying to downplay how grave the situation there is. And today’s looting of humanitarian supplies only comes to prove that people there are really desperate!
The IDF killed its own citizens on October 7th. This is a statement of fact backed by survivors. So whoever deleted my comment stop censoring the truth please
What you want to do is drive hamas out and destroy and fill all the tunnels they made. Then when you start letting people.back in you try and filter out any hamas or pro hamas people. It be kinda like of the usa had a working southern border… or like how the usa and Canada birder works
Oh, I’m sure the goddamn million Palestinians who have just been kicked out of their homes and seen it flattened to the ground will not have any particular ill will against Israel. All of them will be perfectly subservient saints who will offer the other cheek when Israel keeps pouring out settlements in their backyards.
As opposed to the Palestinians who just attacked them ?
What do you think the down side is for the Israelis? They can flatten Gaza and destroy hamas arsenals and under ground network and kill a bunch of them setting back any attacks by years or decades.
Or in your mind they can just not do anything and keep getting attacked. Then each time they do nothing , hamas will get bolder and create larger attacks and take more hostages.
Also calling for a ceasefire is not a “pro-Hamas” position. It feels like you’re showing bias here more than anyone else. The Independent is also a large and well respected news outfit, and while many such publications have a lot of opinion pieces that are basically blog posts, this isn’t one of them and is in traditional news format - they’re reporting on a planned protest likely to be attended by a considerable number.
I love how you read what I said - which wasn’t in relation to this direct article - and then strawmanned me so much I’m fucking choking on straw irl from it. Dude, take a break :p
Lmao you’re reminding me of this random friend I made on Clash of Clans because of my username, he was a meth head and thought he’d found a kindred spirit. My name originates from a software package from Windows 95, Tweak Tools 95, and a pick to make a 90s hacker name.
So every defender of human rights is pro-Hamas according to your twisted logic.
Last night the families released a statement calling the intense bombing on Friday “the worst of all nights”, due to the uncertainty of the safety of their loved ones during IDF strikes.
And guess what, people on the other side of the fence are saying it, now imagine going through this personally with all your family. Not able to reach your loved ones, without food, Internet, or electricity. I am sure if you go through this hell you would change your tune
R/worldnews is a shithole, always has been. Before it became under powermod control there was a split and r/animetitties was the place for news. However I think since the API change that place isn’t as busy anymore.
I don’t have an eye got usernames, but I did notice some really dodgy websites getting posted and people, as they are, just upvote on how much they like the article title rather than the contents ot even the surrouding information.

What about a cease-fire’s particularly pro-hamas? Cease-fire means both directions.

If the goal is not to harm your own hostages, you wouldn’t be using bombs, which is real using very heavily right now. It makes a literally no sense.
I don’t understand how your comment relates to mine. Do you believe that because I consider a cessation of hostilities where Hamas keeps their hostages a victory for Hamas, that I mean to say that rescuing hostages is the scope of Israel’s campaign?
It clearly isn’t. Israel intends to destroy Hamas and are appallingly callous about the collateral damage they cause in the process
What’s the last cease fire that wasn’t broken by regular rocket fire from Gaza?
The Hamas active members can have time to hide and reset for another attack if there is a cease fire. They’ll refortify the hospitals and schools they use to hide, as well as gather civilans for shields. They can set up booby traps for a ground invasion into Gaza.

Well then, best just carpet bomb all of gaza then right?
How bad do you think Israel is at carpet bombing? Honestly, multiple weeks of carpet bombing, by any modern estimate, should dismantle all of Gaza. That very demonstrably has not happened.
So are they really, really bad at it or are they not attempting it?
Have you not seen the satellite images?
Yes, of course I have. I am aware of what wars do.
Then you would see the absurdity of your statement.
I think you may want to investigate what a modern “carpet bombing” campaign can do, because it’s at least an order of magnitude more destructive.
Please re-read my comment lmao. :p

How sensible is that, to you?
So this is definitely justifying:
while killing 10 times more civilians, babies, kids and women and causing immensely more suffering for the innocents.

It’s weird you think Israel is the cause here
I would prefer none of this happen, but Hamas does not value human life. It’s truly tragic.
I find it very strange that your inference is that I don’t care.

That’s easily proven false by simply looking at the efforts they’ve put in, whether you believe they’re sufficient or not (I personally do not).
Meanwhile Hamas literally forces civilians into “martyrdom” at gunpoint.
Your meany words aren’t going to hurt my feelings. Let it out, bud. I’m here for you.
I would also leave this here:
So to put things into perspective, for 3 straight weeks only 117 trucks carrying humanitarian aid entered the enclave.
Not to mention that the same officials are constantly trying to downplay how grave the situation there is. And today’s looting of humanitarian supplies only comes to prove that people there are really desperate!
Yeah, they let the aid trucks in, the bombed the aid after it had been delivered.
That is a gross misrepresentation.

It’s less the factual nature and more the presentation and what is implied.
What do you mean presentation?
Trying to diminish multiple massacres with a story about friendly fire, as if those things are at all the same.
You’re a bad person and I’m glad I’ll never see you again

Generally you use the most firepower directly before committing ground troops, so yes I would expect last night to be the worst night.
Welcome to Lemmy
Meanwhile Reddit is the Israel propaganda machine, so I guess swings and roundabouts?
depends on the sub for reddit. Worldnews is heavy Israel, while publicfreakout and therewasanattempt are very heavy palestine
