Tel Aviv has stepped up indiscriminate attacks against displaced Palestinians in northern Gaza due to the army’s failure to ‘dismantle’ Hamas

        These people are straight up dogs of the empire. This user’s history is just denying the ongoing genocide and defending “israel” and the US’s “democracy”

        Because I disagree with you the only possible explanation is that I don’t think critically? Piss off.

          Because you’ve got some naive beliefs about the state of the world …
          We should just agree to block each other. Cheers

      I said it was from a biased source, not that it was wrong, but if you want to see an example of why it’s bad compare the death count in the CNN report vs. this one. It’s not “thousands” gunned down, even according to Hamas:

      The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza said 104 were killed and more than 700 injured in the incident, one of the deadliest since the war in Gaza began.

      It also includes IDF statements which paint a very different picture of events:

      In an initial account, Israel said Gaza residents surrounded the aid trucks and looted the supplies. “During the incident, dozens of Gazans were injured as a result of pushing and trampling,” the Israel Defense Forces told CNN.
      An Israeli military spokesperson later said in a briefing that there were two separate incidents involving aid trucks.
      First, he says trucks went to the north and were swarmed by crowds, with trucks running over people. Subsequently, he says, a group of Palestinians approached Israeli forces, who then opened fire on the Palestinians.
      “The truckloads went into the north, then there was the stampede, and then afterwards, there was the event against our forces. That’s how things transpired this morning,” the spokesman said.

      I don’t believe anything offhand from such a source, especially on matters regarding Israel, nor should you. Stick to credible organizations if you prefer objective reporting to emotionally charged propaganda.

        Israel is responsible for making these people desperate enough that they get trampled in a rush for scarce food. Israel also admits it opened fire on a crowd of hungry civilians. Nothing about this makes the IDF look anything other than very bad.

          Although that may be true, a shooting by defense forces at a chaotic scene of looting is certainly more understandable and less egregious than opening fire on innocent people orderly lining up. This article distorts the fundamental facts of what happened. It’s clear they want to make Israel look as villainous as possible, objectivity be damned.
