    Tzipi Navon, a close adviser to and office manager for Netanyahu’s wife, Sara, posted incendiary remarks on Facebook saying it was not enough to “flatten Gaza.”

    “It won’t calm the storm of emotions, it won’t dull the intensity of the rage and pain that can’t find an outlet for them,” Navon wrote.

     

    Instead, she said the culprits should be captured and tortured “one-by-one” by pulling out their nails and skinning them alive.

    Further detailing the type of torture she saidthey should endure, Navon said that male genitals should be cut off, fried and fed to the captured.

    “Save their tongues for last, so we can enjoy his screams, his ears so he can hear his own screams, and his eyes so he can see us smiling,” she said.

    What Hamas did was terrible. But this is still nuts.

      I don’t think you need to preface with “what Hamas did was terrible” for this particular one. This is just plain nuts.

      Nevermind that official Hamas policy, unlike that of actual terrorist states, is very opposed to civilian casualties. Whether individual fighters are listening to that is clearly debatable, but it’s not like Hamas has the facilities to train up a professional army.

        Even if it is, those seem like pretty empty words at this point.

          Considering the sheer propaganda coming out of the West:

          “They killed babies” - White House confirms there is no photographic evidence after Biden’s statement, then some idiot online (Ben Shapiro?) starts spreading a generative AI-generated image

          “They were going to attack schoolchildren at a school!” - the attack was on a Saturday during Shabbat, the one day a week you could ensure that nobody would be in the school

          “They attacked an EDM rave!” - within earshot of both the concentration camp (Gaza) and the IDF Gaza Division, with tanks that are minutes away, and with armed personnel on the premises… I’m sure the target must have been the rave, though

          “They killed and raped this naked girl!” - the family reports the girl is alive and being treated at a hospital in Gaza (though given the hospital situation in Gaza that’s not saying much anymore), the video evidence shows her as clearly clothed, and her safety shorts/boots are both still on

          Yes, civilians died at that’s absolutely tragic and we should absolutely condemn Hamas for any civilian loss of life, but let’s not pretend like Hamas consists of evil boogeyman Muslim terrorists dead-set on killing every Israeli in Israel, even if that’s what the US needs you to believe so you can support military aid for Israel.

    Why are all the anti Israel things from middleeasteye.net? Can you find multiple sources for these things, so it sounds more trustworthy? Otherwise it’s just one claim against another.

      I have another question. Why is there so little anti-Israel coverage in the MSM?

      They’re committing atrocities just as bad as Hamas, yet we are supposed to applaud them?

      Why when Hamas kill babies it’s Hamas’ fault, but when Israel kills babies that’s also Hamas’ fault.

      If you go by the logic that Hamas’ actions have given Israel no choice but to indiscriminately kill people. Then it could be said that Israel keeping Palestinians in an open air prisión gave Hamas no choice couldn’t we?

      I get that the situation is fucked, but I think we should have a little consistency. Like is it ok to kill babies or not? As if it is I know some right annoying babies that I wouldn’t mind you know…

        Western countries are generally allied with Israel, so it stands to reason this is the default position for media in these countries. For this reason, you probably won’t find much purely anti-Israel content. Instead, there’ll be both pro-Israel coverage and neutral coverage that denounces both sides. There’s plenty of the latter, even if pro-Israel coverage dominates overall.

          I cannot speak for other countries, but Germany directed aid towards Palastine. No one is/was interested in that. Then violence arises, still keep up aid, but our ministers are against these kinds of attacks. And now somehow Germany is suddenly against Palastine.

          This is a kind of political agenda that I absolutely hate.

      So far, only Al-Jazeera and Middle East eye have given a neutral point of view. Western media is almost completely unabashedly pro-Israel.

      So you are probably new - see - tokenboomer likes to phrase things in a way, that supports Hamas. Take this very Post for example: the Headline says that a certain „adviser calls for torture of Gaza residents“. By phrasing it like that he wants to provoke the response „Israel wants to torture civilians“. In the article you can read that they are talking about Hamas. Torturing Terrorists, even though they are terrorists, is not ok though. There is nothing but talk at the moment.

        OP did not editorialises the title, it’s exactly the same as the article.

        No I agree that if it is true it is not right, I just haven’t seen any other media cover these stories, so I can’t be sure that they’re trustworthy.

    Reminds me of the comments and general view towards all Muslims in USA post-9/11 (Sept 11, 2001).
