Israel / Palestine

[Psamathe]

It isn't really newsworthy any more. The barstards seem incapable of basic humanity.

To me it's important as it's one of the few occasions where there is some scrutiny over Israel's claims about what happened. Best the world ever sees is result of internal IDF inquiries which always seem to find IDF as victims and having behaved far better than perfectly against horrendous odds.

But when there is some external evidence Israel's claims fall apart which does make one question the reliability of all their other internal inquiries.

"Linked to Hamas" is meaningless propaganda. I work in the NHS, I'm gonna start calling it the "Labour run health ministry". They're the farking government, everybody in the country is linked to them.

When Israel declares how Hamas are using the Gaza hospitals, well it's a war and troops on both sides get injured and go to hospital to get treated.

When Israel bombs civilians and declares Hamas are hiding amongst the civilian population, with such high population density is there a lot of space available separate from the civilian population?

And only discovered as one of the victims was buried with their mobile phone which happened to have recorded some of the incident and then was recovered and got into the hands of the Red Cross. Makes one question how often this sort of thing is happening but the evidence to hint at the truth never emerges and the perpetrators get away with "targeting terrorists ... ".

And despite not knowing what the vehicles were, not being aware they were emergency vehicles they did know that 6 of the medics were "linked to Hamas". As always, no evidence to substantiate these "revised" claims.

For some time I have taken any claims made by the IDF with Lot's [of] salt.

Israeli soldiers reveal systematic destruction of Palestinian property to create Gaza buffer zone
For Palestinians, setting foot inside the buffer zone can be a death sentence.
Multiple soldiers described rules of engagement that authorized them to fire on Palestinians in the zone, regardless of whether they were armed or identified as combatants.
“Adult, male – kill. Shoot to kill. For women and children, shoot to drive away,” a Sergeant 1st Class in Israel’s Armored Corps said in an interview.

Never mind, Gaza will soon be the U.S. controlled "Freedom Zone".
There won't be any Palestinians obviously, they just get in the way of real estate development.
