“Officials said that Israel and Egypt were prepared to let foreigners leave the Strip which is under heavy Israeli bombardment, but Hamas had refused.”

    You call it propaganda, but it’s exactly what Hamas is doing, isn’t it?

    You may need to look up ‘propaganda’.

      No, I know what it means, I’m accusing you of straight up lying. It’s true in every sense of the word truth, it is an accurate characterization of Hamas’s actions, you have no reason to doubt it, you just don’t like it because it’s an uncomfortable phrase. You prefer to call them “martyrs,” don’t you?

        Your comments are nothing but frothing Israeli propaganda. If you aren’t lying, you are extremely misinformed of the situation.

          if that were true, it would be very easy to actually respond to me instead of just flatly calling me a liar, right?

            I did respond, I didn’t flatly call you a liar, I was implying that from my perspective your view seems to either be deliberately antagonistic and untrue or you are not receiving accurate coverage of the conflict. I love Jewish people, I’m not an antisemite or desire any sort of death for Jews or any other group for that matter, but the actions of Israel should be condemned, and they have engaged in massive misinformation campaigns related to Palestine for decades. This is not to say I don’t also condemn terrorism and killing of civilians by Hamas as well. But it is relevant to examine who is the original aggressor in the conflict and for what reason the conflict began.

              You still won’t respond to the point that Hamas is, in fact using Palestinians as human shields. you still just abstractly insist that believing that makes me a dumbass and is nothing but Israeli propaganda. But you don’t have anything substantive to say.

              You condemn terrorism, except on the internet, where you defend it. You don’t want people to die, unless Hamas also wants them to die, in which case you’ll divert and deflect all you want.

              The original aggressor in the current conflict is Hamas. The original aggressor in the region is a complex, hazy question, but it very obviously predates the 1948 date people just love to focus on. Edit: Here’s a starting point, if you need one

                Why would I respond to baseless points that are leveled against resistance groups without fail EVERY TIME there is a conflict like this? It’s tired, I’m not that young, I’ve heard all of this already. What is your basis for saying Hamas has been purposely using Palestinians as human shields? I would have the same discussion in person, I’m open with my beliefs. I don’t want Hamas to kill anyone FFS, I’m a Buddhist and a vegetarian, I don’t even want someone to kill a fly, putting words in my mouth is not a useful way to win an argument.

                  I’m not going to debate with anybody evil enough to call the rapists and baby-murderers at Hamas a “resistance group.” If you’re intentionally going to spread pro-Hamas propaganda, you can go fuck yourself.

                  Bibi is a piece of shit, and that is not a defense of Hamas or its use of Palestinian civilians as human shields. If you’re not going to try, don’t bother commenting.

                    You think IDF doesn’t use human shields? Their headquarters is where exactly?

                    You are so in a bubble you can’t tell your head from your ass.

            You didn’t follow your prescription in response to my comment. So I feel your comment is just a flat out lie and you would be a liar by extension.

              You said “human shields” is propaganda, without explaining how you thought it was false.

              I broke down the actual truth in a fair bit of detail.

              You just said “nope, propaganda stupid!”

              So no, I was pretty fair with you. If you still don’t have anything substantive to say, you can fuck off now.

                No I called you high.

                Israel’s strikes are the most targeted fucking strikes you’ve ever seen a military do,

                Are you high? https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/25/middleeast/satellite-images-gaza-destruction/index.html

                Flattening whole communities is as targeted as using a shotgun to kill a fly.

                In other news:

                Bibi just called for a genocide by referring to Palestine as Amalak. If you know your torah you know what that references but if you don’t he was kind enough to spell out the verse. Netanyahu quoted from First Samuel 15:3, saying, “You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible. ‘Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys’” The invocation of this biblical passage serves not only as a historical reference but also as a genocidal lens through which the Prime Minister views the current conflict.

                I’m not on the side of genocide. You sure seem to be however. I’d say that makes you a piece of shit human being.

                Is that substantive enough for your goose-stepping ass?

                PS. You are still a deliberate liar.
