Sounds totally normal and not at all suspicious!
I mean, reading the article, seems like the three people the UN charged with leading the investigation already have their minds made up. One of them said Israel should be kicked out of the UN. Obviously, Israel isn't going to let that guy hang around.
Not sure how I feel about this story. Victims and people's stories need to be put on the record as soon as possible. I'm not sure we will ever get to the truth of things, though. Israel is always going to say they were striking a tunnel or striking Hamas members. And Hamas and the Palestinian Authority is always going to say the victims were just civilians and that there were no tunnels in the area.
Hamas and the Palestinian strategy is one of human shields and martyrdom. If they ever admit that the deceased are members of Hamas, or that they really did build tunnels that open up into the basements of hospitals and elementary school, they lose that sympathy and credibility.
But those tunnels didn't build themselves. The 3,000 Iranian-made rockets Hamas launched at Israel on October 7 didn't carry themselves over the border from Egypt and into the tunnels.
Neither side is credible. I find Israel more credible though in light of some of these facts.
I like to read your comments histories. At first you're like putting yourself in the middle. But by the end, you will direct the blame to only one side, and stating the other side is is not the bad guy, not genocidal because they did this and that. It's subtle, but it seems you're a man/woman of a mission.
Based on your comment I checked the user history. I had 2 reactions.
I guess history started on October 7 for some people and...
Is commenting his/her full time job?
No but I'm partially retired.
You know history did not begin on October 7th. The calculus certainly did change though.
I could be convinced. I'm just not. Not on any mission either. Though I do really want to understand more about the politics of it all.
Did you read the long post I wrote about what I would consider to be evidence of genocidal intent?
The facts to me show Israel is defending itself. I've criticized Israel plenty and believe some IDF soldiers have committed war crimes and should be prosecuted at the Hague.
