Someone gonna get bapped!

The Israelis also claimed there was a Hamas base under a cemetery, but their claims about the location were disproven by CNN*: entrances weren’t where the Israelis said they were, and tunnels didn’t run where the Israelis said they did. Just briefly glancing at this article, I see that the reporters did not or were not given the opportunity to verify several Israeli claims, including

“Twenty meters above us is the UNRWA headquarters,” and “The military said Saturday night that the tunnel began at a UNRWA school”

I’d like to see more evidence before believing Israel here. Especially since they haven’t shown the ‘UNWRA staff participated in the October attacks’ evidence to the UN or several other countries.

* Israel claims a tunnel ran through this Gaza cemetery it destroyed. A visit to the site raised more questions than answers. Or if you prefer video: IDF says they destroyed this Gaza graveyard because of Hamas activity. CNN can’t find the evidence.

The steam pipes provide electricity and heat. And the high temperature in Iceland today was 22°F, with a nighttime low of 15°F.

And designated safe corridors and then bombed the corridors.

Oh! And cut off electricity and the internet, yet somehow everyone was magically supposed to know where they were going to attack and where was “safe” despite having no way to actually hear that information.

Wake up, honey, new genocide phase just dropped.

He also fucked over the entire country, the people, it’s businesses and economy, by arranging the vote for Brexit.

The National Post is literally just repeating what Israeli army spokespeople are saying. Like, almost the entire article is sourced from the Israeli army:

the Israel Defense Forces said … the IDF statement said … The IDF said … the IDF confirmed … the army said in a statement …The military’s statement added …

Also, if you look at the byline, the article was written by

Pesach Benson, Jewish News Syndicate

Media bias / fact check for Jewish News Syndicate:

Overall, We rate the Jewish News Syndicate as Right-Center biased based on its editorial position in support of the Israeli government. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to poor sourcing techniques and the promotion of one-sided propaganda.

Since the article comes from a source with a heavy pro-Israeli bias, and only quotes what the Israeli military is claiming, I would treat it with extreme scepticism.

On the other hand, the CNN article seems much more reliable: they report what the military is claiming; they report the different ways they attempted to independently fact-check what the military is claiming; they note where they were unable to independently fact-check the army and why (usually Israeli army interference); and they note where they were able to successfully fact-check the Israeli army claims, how they proceeded with the fact-check, and what the results of the fact-check were (usually there was no basis for the Israeli claims).

other sources have been unable to verify this claim.

For example, CNN certainly doesn’t find their costumes credible: Israel claims a tunnel ran through this Gaza cemetery it destroyed. A visit to the site raised more questions than answers. Or if you prefer video: IDF says they destroyed this Gaza graveyard because of Hamas activity. CNN can’t find the evidence.

In the meantime: Israel claims a tunnel ran through this Gaza cemetery it destroyed. A visit to the site raised more questions than answers. Or if you prefer video: IDF says they destroyed this Gaza graveyard because of Hamas activity. CNN can’t find the evidence.

Hmm, who to believe, who to believe: the genocidal maniacs determined to destroy every trace or hope of Palestinian life in Gaza, or the non-aligned journalists to whom Israel is repeatedly making claims that they refuse to provide evidence for or which are shown to be outright lies - I just can’t decide!

It must be nice to just make up numbers and ages and sexes and occupations like that. Makes it real easy to justify genocide.

Super weird to be defending genocide, too, but here we are.

If Israel isn’t differentiating between civilians and soldiers when they shoot and bomb people, I don’t see why I should.

No surprise. What Israel is demanding is the release of all the hostages, at which point Hamas has no leverage against a state that has repeatedly demonstrated that they want to obliterate the Palestinians.

Cool. We should probably stop sending weapons to Israel then.

Don’t they think that Hamas only has like 100 hostages left? So basically Hamas should give up all their real leverage for (possibly) 8 weeks of ceasefire while the Israelis prepare to renew their razing of all of Gaza, and steal 15% of all the land in Gaza for a ‘buffer zone’ that should be located in Israeli land, and Israeli civilians and settlers continue to make life miserable and untenable in the West Bank and elsewhere? Sounds like a great deal. /s

Fucking murderous genocidal bastards.

A rounding error is the difference between an actual value and the value when rounded to the nearest whole integer. Like, when 1.25 gets rounded to just 1, the “lost” .25 is a rounding error.

21.6 / 8367 = 0.00258157046 . That’s roughly 1/4 of one percent. That’s a rounding error.

For context: the border between Israel and Gaza is 36 miles long. 1 kilometer is (roughly) 0.6 miles. And they’re creating this ‘buffer zone’ on Gazan land.

Alright, so 36 miles long times 0.6 miles wide - they want to steal 21.6 square miles of Gazan territory (in addition to all the other killing and looting they’re doing). The entirety of Gaza is only 140.9 square miles, so they’re talking about essentially stealing 15% of all Gazan land here.

Fuck Israel. They want a buffer zone, build it on their own fucking land. They already have over 8367 square miles, 21 square miles is literally just a rounding error to them.

This episode of the New York Times’ The Daily goes over the various nuances of the international law, the obligations and responsibilities of various nations / states / actors, etc. And it doesn’t matter if Israel agrees with it or not, they are absolutely subject to the obligation to protect civilians.

Israel’s goal was to create a buffer of up to roughly six-tenths of a mile along the entire length of Israel’s roughly 36-mile border with Gaza.

Alright, so 36 miles long times 0.6 miles wide - they want to steal 21.6 square miles of Gazan territory (in addition to all the other killing and looting they’re doing). The entirety of Gaza is only 140.9 square miles, so they’re talking about essentially stealing 15% of all Gazan land here.

Fuck Israel. They want a buffer zone, build it on their own fucking land. They already have over 8367 square miles, 21 square miles is literally just a rounding error to them.
