Oh boy. Some of you ate up that Hamas propaganda about Gaza.

Fairly predictable.

Video showing a female hostage getting air injected into her veins (by a Palestinian doctor) pleading for her life and later on Hamas shows her as a victim of Israeli air strikes. You guys slurped it up.

Palestinian whistleblower says Hamas hoarded and hid the food and baby formula from the people of Gaza.
There can be isolated incidents of false narratives or hoaxes with there still being a massive problem. We’ve reached this weird point lately where we are just bogged down in the details of how governments are killing people when I think we should focus more on whether they’re justified in killing them in the first place. If Israel bombs a building and kills ten people that’s still an issue even if they aren’t doing barbaric torture. If we drop bombs on drug runners, my worry isn’t if we double tapped or not. We’ve become so numb to the act of warfare and international policing that we have lost the plot.

No, I’m perfectly capable of distinguishing between an anecdote of someone having air pumped into their veins and the observable reality of an entire city being decimated.
 
lol - definitely completely unprovoked

Israel are the bad guys because they are (a) white, and (b) more powerful
