The interesting thing about this is that Israel (and all of the IDF defenders across the internet) has been categorically denying that anything of this sort happened at all and have actively been calling it a conspiracy theory pushed by Hamas supporters.
Now that we have active proof it happened at least this one time, it calls into question their denial about other such claimed incidents, such as that the IDF had their helicopters just fire at anyone and everyone on the ground at the concert.
It really does seem like they went full Hannibal Doctrine.
Libertarians continuing to be trash people. Nothing new there.
Especially since these specific soldiers are in the Psyops group that made this Telegram two days after October 7th, along with many other social media pages that were fully allowed and supported by the government.
The idea this one group wasn’t seems…unlikely.
Our medical technology is too good at this point, we can keep the majority of the disease spreaders alive to continue spreading disease on purpose. A sad consequence of technological advancement.
Did you miss how the Israeli government has been actively trying to censor Haaretz since they started doing proper journalism on what’s going on in Gaza? There was even a political attempt to get them shut down.
Per Rule 2 here, I can’t post the full text myself, but here’s a comment over on a Reddit thread for the article that did do that.
It’s always been suspected that bisexual people (of varying levels on the Kinsey scale) make up a good half of the population. Combine that with all the other possible LGBTQ sexualities and including trans individuals and you would find even 30% to seem rather low.
Honestly, they’re doing both at the same time, I feel.
That would make a lot more sense if that’s what they meant. Since the governments “investigating” very clearly didn’t care about what happened to him.
So your response to teenagers throwing rocks is to gun them all down?
Did you comment in the wrong thread? Your comment has literally nothing to do with the article above, which has nothing to do with Hamas.
ABC journalists have threatened to walk off the job as the wrongful dismissal case launched against the broadcaster by radio host Antoinette Lattouf escalates.
Also on Wednesday, a federal Cabinet minister was drawn into the dispute.
About 80 employees at the ABC’s Ultimo headquarters in Sydney cited concerns of “outside interference” and issues in its handling of complaints against staff as the dispute escalated beyond Lattouf on Wednesday.
“MEAA media members at the ABC today called on managing director David Anderson to urgently meet with staff and address growing concerns about outside interference, culturally unsafe management practices and to stand up for journalism without fear or favour,” the media union posted on Twitter on Tuesday.
On Tuesday, secret texts from a private WhatsApp messaging group emerged, showing discussion between Lawyers for Israel members, including a call to action to pressure Anderson and ABC chair Ita Buttrose to sack Lattouf.
“It’s important ABC hears from not just individuals in the community but specifically lawyers so they feel there is an actual legal threat,” one message reads.
“I have basically written to them and told them I expect a proper response, not a generic one, by COB today or I would look to engage senior counsel.
“I know there is probably no actionable offence against the ABC but I didn’t say I would be taking one – just investigating one. I have said that they should be terminating her employment immediately.”
Another read: “Why is the ABC allowing this woman to host a radio show?” and a member responded: “Exactly, which is why we need to stamp it out.”

Ten days after that Facebook message, he was fired from his teaching job in Petach Tikvah municipality. Less than a month later he was in a high-security jail, detained to give police more time to investigate critical views he had never tried to hide.
Inside Israel, veteran journalists, intellectuals and rights activists say, there is little public space for dissent about the war in Gaza, even three months into an offensive that has killed 23,000 Palestinians and has no end in sight. “Make no mistake: Baruchin was used as a political tool to send a political message. The motive for his arrest was deterrence – silencing any criticism or any hint of protest against Israeli policy,” the long-established Haaretz newspaper said in an editorial.
I see no word to describe this other than fascism. Trump would love to have the ability to do this (and seems like he plans to with his “one day dictator” claim).
In Germany, debate rages over a state policy to support Israel, no matter what
As Gaza is bombarded by Israeli forces, a polemic is raging in Germany over a state policy that makes criticism of Israel blasphemous because it’s seen as antisemitic.
I mean, I’m fine with that. That seems like something that should have been done a while ago.
It’s when they try and extend such things to saying any criticism of Israel is illegal, like what Germany is trying right now.
They seem to be making many mistakes, frequently, always in favor of killing journalists or the family of journalists. Especially those connected to Al Jazeera.
This was a drone strike, how is it not precise? It was directly controlled and manned by the drone operator and the journalist vehicle was targeted by the drone.
And this was a drone strike, meaning it was targeted and controlled on what was being hit.
So the bullshit from the IDF at the end of the article is just that, bullshit.
Polygraph (lie detector) tests don’t work and never have. The person who created them pointed out they don’t work like that, but the judicial system ignored him.
Israel made an agreement with the hospital to let an ambulance go and save her. And then blew up the ambulance when it got there. There’s no other definition of that than pure evil.
