    So funny seeing people here react to any news regarding Israel and Gaza. Bomb falls in parking lot of a hospital, Hamas says 20 minutes later 500 dead, everyone believes the and it takes weeks to disprove their claim and bunch of sources to analyze and report on their findings. Any non-Hamas source says terrorists are using terrorist tactics… entire lemmy goes: fake, discredited, Israel ally is lying for them, etc.

    And down-votes that are coming on this comment just go to prove how big of a supported to terrorism people here are.

      You have one downvote. From me. And yeah if you’re going to bomb a protected target we’re going to want to see the evidence. You don’t just get to shrug and mumble something about terrorists.

        Protected by whom? International rules of war which were never respected in the first place?

          So far, you’ve characterised support for a group that’s being genocided as supporting terrorists, and made it clear you don’t care about warcrimes. You’ve implied you care about hospitals being bombed, but that doesn’t seem to apply when the bombing is done by the group bombing the majority of the hospitals.

          You need to stop and ask yourself if you’re backing the bad guys, my guy.

            You are conflicting yourself in the first place. You claim protected target is being bombed, but it’s protected by the same rules which state taking shelter in hospitals and taking hostages is a crime. You either condemn all who break the rule or none at all, but not selectively.

              I do condemn those things, but keep in mind that they were funded by Israel, who are also committing more warcrimes and killing more civilians.

              Why do you work so hard to gloss over Israel’s objectively far worse actions to whine about Hamas?

      My issue is that on the (?second) day of the war, a group of Western reporters were presented with “evidence” of the planning that had gone into the attack, and I found the “evidence” to be laughably bad - the evidence itself, the supposed circumstances it was found under, the condition of the evidence - all were bad. And if you present such incredibly poor “evidence” at one point, I’m going to automatically be much more suspicious of any other “evidence” you present later.

      My issue is more with people supporting a genocide because Hamas exists.

      Few people have a problem condemning Hamas, but when Israel is clearly killing far more civilians and bombing more hospitals than Israel, obsessing about the lesser problem (who were Israel-funded in any case) is deeply suspicious.

        On no account should any genocide be tolerated or supported. Am merely pointing out how differently people react on different kind of news. Not to mention how frequently people confuse Palestinian cause with Hamas cause.
