Either Israel has literally the worst intelligence agency in the world OR they are purposefully lying to justify destroying the necessities of life in Gaza as part of a campaign of genocide. Oh wow I wonder which one it could be what a mystery omg this conflict is so complicated
On one hand you have Palestinians claiming things with video evidence and then you have ZIonists debunking their claims by lying about literally everything. It's impossible to know who to trust. This is a very complicated conflict.
I cannot judge the content of this video until the IDF has told me what to think, sorry
Wasn't Israel historically famous for having the best intelligence service of any nation? Didn't they brag about how much better they were than the CIA?
I believe the original post was sarcastic. It is pretty obvious that by now, all of Israel's hit on critical infrastructure is blamed on Hamas with Israel failing to provide enough evidence for any of it.
It was, but they still used to do that.
After finding no bodies of hostages nor tunnels, israel claimed 20 medical personnel were Hamas in disguise, offering no evidence. Israel also rejected the WHO's demand to enter the hospital for independent verification of israel's claims.
Palestine Red Crescent strongly rejected the false acccusations;
The PRCS strongly rejects the accusations made by the Israeli occupation forces claiming that they arrested 20 “terrorists disguised as medical personnel,” when they stormed Al-Amal Hospital on 9/2/2024. Storming Al-Amal Hospital and committing such unjustified violations are grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions and customary international humanitarian law.
🚨PRCS warns that they are reflecting a broader policy of the Occupation towards healthcare due to their intense, systematic nature.
The PRCS confirms that the occupation forces arrested 9 of its medical and administrative staff who have been working for the Society for many years. In addition, 9 elderly patients and their companions were arrested; these patients could not be evacuated on 5/2/2024 due to their difficult health conditions which have led to mobility issues.
Edit: A great 3 minute video about the situation According to a doctor an IDF quadcopter equipped with a gun fired into a conference room
So they fucking lied yet again. Fuck Israel.
Edit: hey, can you guys help me compile a credible list of everything they've lied about so far? There were those decapitated babies, the "top secret attack plans" 'found' during the attack, the tunnels under the cemetery Israel razed that CNN thoroughly debunked, this hospital here, the other hospital (which one was it?) where the old cistern was a "Hamas headquarters" or something - what else?
If I remember correctly (correct me if I'm wrong), the decapitated babies was a rumor that the IDF was strangely quick to deny, and it was the US that later "confirmed" it.
The rape was a huge one that many people still believe and even repeat.
This Intercept article is a huge debunk of popular lies
“Hamas used rape and sexual violence as weapons of war,” charged Erdan, the U.N. ambassador. “These were not spur-of-the-moment decisions to defile and mutilate girls and parade them while onlookers cheered; rather, this was premeditated.”
To date, there has been no credible evidence presented publicly that such a campaign took place, and Hamas has vehemently denied that its fighters committed any acts of rape or sexual assault.
There was no Holocaust survivor killed at Kibbutz Be’eri that day. There were no mass beheadings of babies, no group executions in a nursery, no children hung from clotheslines, and no infants placed in ovens. No pregnant woman had her stomach cut open and the fetus knifed in front of her and her other children. These stories are entirely fictional, a set of audacious lies weaponized to generate the type of collective rage used to justify the unjustifiable.
After Their justifications for war crimes were found to be false. The Israeli government shifted its reasoning for destroying a hospital to "They were totally here. You gotta believe us. Check this out. There's a desk where Hamas was. They planned October 7th sitting at this Ikea furniture. This desk is a terrorist." The Palestinian people have yet to come out and condemn desks. The bombings will continue.
Can't be a hostage if they're dead

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
