  • UNRWA staff left the facility on October 12th. [checks calendar] huh, that’s quite some time ago. And the facility was inspected in September. So if the evidence is valid, either UNRWA waited for the inspection, then quickly set up the infrastructure to provide Hamas with electricity before evacuating a month later, OR something happened in the four months since they left that they did not have control over.

    Isn’t the second one more likely? And this is all if the power supply really connects to the tunnels in the way the IDF claims (not confirmed).

    So if UNRWA had nothing to do with it, this is a lie designed to smear the main humanitarian organization in Gaza ie to reduce the ability of the Palestinian civilians to get basic supplies for their survival. That’s how it’s supporting civilians











  • Yeah I see your point and agree to an extent. But if we don’t assume the obvious explanation because of Israel and it’s supporters generally casting doubt on basically any report of it’s crimes until an unspecified “investigation” is (possibly) concluded at some point in the future, then we allow them to escape blame for their actions.

    You must know that they will never admit this is what happened, and there is no plausible way to settle the issue in the fog of war (e.g. the hospital car park explosion from early in the war, still debated and unclear).

    So your approach basically lets them off the hook. Going with the obvious explanation is kind of better imo






  • Assuming that they were not using high precision munitions and deliberately were using a lot stronger bombs in this conflict I highly doubt that your number is even close to the actual casualties.

    Yeah I think there was a report that about half of the bombs dropped have been “dumb” bombs that aren’t used for precise targeting. So based on your math from those you would expect it to be about 5% Hamas to 95% “ah well sorry you were just born in the wrong place” innocent people. The other half may have been targeted better, but we don’t even really know that.

    You’re right that we will probably never learn. But my guess would be maybe 10% Hamas to 90% whoopsy daisy oh my god so sorry about that.





  • What you are alleging is that they are doing what, the starvation carefully, so that nobody notices it’s deliberate?

    They announced their intention and are basically doing it, but after diplomatic pressure allowed some aid in. It’s not “careful so nobody notices” but “obvious to most but with some flimsy diplomatic cover.”

    It’s not an allegation of a conspiracy, just that they’re doing what they claimed. But yes they seem to have successfully confused a lot of people by superficially “allowing” aid to enter.

    How do you explain the current mass starvation people in Gaza are experiencing?
