Continue your propaganda jihad to destroy freedom and democracy. Resist the false prophets of the imperialist colonial American and European devils who dared to advance civilisation and create prosperity for Western society.

Phil there is an army and an airforce slaughtering civilians in Gaza and it belongs to a ‘democratic’ country.

And the civilians are victims of undemocratic terrorists exposing their own people as human shields in a war that they caused. Why don’t the terrorists let innocent civilians take shelter in the extensive tunnels constructed to attack a democratic country? Hypocrisy.

First, Hamas is the democratically elected government of Gaza. So I don't know what you mean by "undemocratic".

Second, there's no evidence that Hamas is using civilians as human shields. There is however evidence of Israel doing exactly that.

Third, I do love how you're admitting that Israel is knowingly and deliberately killing civilians.

Propaganda is nothing new. Cherry picking comments and taking things out of context to support an ideological position is nothing new. The facts however are irrefutable: Hamas’ stated intent is killing all the Jews and other infidels and installing a caliphate in what is the land of Israel, Judea and Samaria. Hamas has its backers including Iran and bedfellow Qatar - which wants so badly to be relevant in the region. Hezbollah and the Houthis for that matter have the same objective as Hamas, and have Iran backing them. No one disputes this. And so how would you react when a radicalized mob comes into your house, kills most of your family (in the worst and grotesque ways possible,) takes others hostages, and says they will come back and do it again and again until all of your family and relatives are wiped out? It’s sad how many people succumb to lies and distortions on this topic when it’s SO clear what’s going on - a genocide of Jews and other infidels perpetrated by radicalized, fundamentalist Islamists. These lambs are part gullible, part ego-centric, as virtue signaling and identity politics is more important to them than humanity, honest and integrity. Of course there’s no sugar coating how education in the region drives ideology, behavior, choices and lived experiences. Spend just 5 minutes on Palestinian Media Watch (www.palwatch.org). Unfortunately the brainwashing is prevalent throughout the world, as so many buy into it (such as the author here and what seems to be the majority of readers and commenters). Birds of a feather stick together. Single-sourcing information and living in an echo chamber produces the same thinking and results. What a shame. Certainly a pathetic existence of not also a seriously bad commentary on mankind. A great example are the comments made by @BenMedia. This could simply be a bot or just a trained troll - because it’s laughable how untrue and twisted the comments are, and obvious what agenda drives them. SMH…

You are just another irrational death cult terrorist sympathiser facilitating Tehran’s propaganda to subvert western democracy. You sanctimoniously claim to understand the complexities of the conflict in the middle east. Yet your entire perspective is manipulated by other ill informed social media degenerates. You have exposed your ignorance if you think Hamas was democratically elected, they had a civil war with the Palestinian Authority, killing almost every member of the opposition party Fatah. So what other party can the populace vote for? You also failed to explain why Hamas won’t allow civilians to shelter in their tunnels? What evidence are you referring to that Israel is using human shields? Do you mean the innocent hostages abducted from Israel on 7 October? FYI the barbaric abduction and captivity, murder, and rape constitutes crimes against humanity. What do think you know about Islam? You were ignorant of the history and origins of Islam before 7 October and you’re still ignorant now, except when you virtue signal to your woke sycophants. Ask yourself why you regurgitate propaganda? Do you despise the very civilisation that provides you with freedom, liberty, and prosperity? You will find your awakening in Iran.

So...more unhinged nonsense.

I do love that you accuse me of ignorance, yet you very clearly know NOTHING about the actual conflict beyond what you hear in Western Media.

First, Hamas was democratically elected in 2005 and Fatah is still a legitimate political organization. And the Palestinian Authority is located in the West Bank. So, we already have ignorance on your part.

Second, if Hamas did let civilians into the tunnels, Israel would just bomb the tunnels and blame Hamas and you know it.

Third, on Israel using human shields.

Impressive, you can count to six. Unfortunately every link you provided is uncorroborated disinformation supplied by Tehran. Better scrutinise your sources before disseminating propaganda.

Just more dissonance and no factual understanding, albeit your ignorant audience would never know the difference. Fatah retreated to the West Bank, ask any Palestinian about their political options. Why are you trying to convince me that Hamas is legitimate? Are you threatened that I revealed the truth to your idiotic followers? Next you’ll proclaim Hezbollah are freedom fighters and the Houthis are not proxies of Iran. Stop deflecting and admit the truth, Hamas use the their tunnels to attack Israel, they were never intended to provide shelter for Palestinians. Once you understand reality you can actually end the suffering of the Palestinians. Denial is a form of oppression, justifying Hamas is only prolonging the conflict. If you truly support a Palestinian cause, then empower its people, not tyranny.

I know it’s important to constantly bring this to public attention and raise its profile and really appreciate the efforts of those who have taken on this task. But we know the truth of this from what we have witnessed in Gaza for the last year and a half and what we are witnessing now. And witnessing in Lebanon and Yemen and Syria.

We see the truth of it daily on social media and we also see and endlessly take down the lies of Zionists propagated on Western media. But how much more can we witness with no one raising their hand in action except Yemen. Egypt and UAE, Saudi, and Turkey are unable to even get some basic food relief to Gaza? All are cowed by Israel, all are still trading with Israel. We’ve settled into a strange dystopian ineffectiveness. Where individuals write, speak, analyze, rebut lies, protest, and then watch the slaughter continue unabated while ostensibly Muslim governments twiddle their thumbs and do little to nothing.

Arab and Turkish governments seem to be in a dreamland where sectarian battles and some fantasy of future rapprochement with Zionism dominates their political dreams.

So the responsibility has fallen on the shoulders of ordinary people everywhere, those who still have a hold on their own humanity and have respect for the humanity of others - and this is a massive burden for individuals to bear. What a time we live in - we have to witness to the truth in an age where governments are striving to erase truth entirely. But it’s not a challenge we can lay aside or forego.

🤔 Hmmm…are you OK? I hope you overcome your blindness at some point. If you are Jewish, you should worry that Zionism is in the process of actively killing the faith of Judaism. This is not my claim but the worry of faithful and concerned Jews around the world. They are not fans of the crimes of political Zionism - what they love is the actual religion. Their eyes are wide open and they are not clinging to the shirt of Netanyahu in blindly following him in his commitment to genocide and his cult of murder.

You don’t need to do anything but have a human heart and understand our shared humanity. And understand that truth is truth. You cannot make up truth and believe your made up truth — that is what is called a lie.

Israel partners with Al Quaida and ISIS. Israel has done more killing and damage than all the groups you mention combined. Listen, the best thing you can do is read outside of your comfort zone, if you’re actually sincere. Read +972, read Ilan Pappé, Miko Peled, Alon Mirzahi, and others. Israel is an apartheid state. You can imagine it’s a democracy but go read up on how it is run. If it became a single state with equality, freedom, and equal rights for all, that would be wonderful. But it has clearly stated that it would rather see every Palestinian dead or expelled before allowing that. Anyways, if you have an ideological viewpoint there’s no point in discussing anything. You can believe what you want, but you’ll be better off as a human being seeking truth rather than comforting falsehoods.

The area where you are located is considered a dangerous combat zone. Gush Katif Street is being used as a humanitarian crossing point to allow you to reach the al-Mawasi neighborhood. We warn you that movement by vehicle is prohibited. Staying in shelters, tents, or houses, or crossing undefined humanitarian routes, endangers your life and that of your families.

The beaches generally are pretty safe. In the past, however, terrorists would sneak in the crowd of civilians and when they were targeted with an extraordinary precision, nevertheless and tragically , people too close to them might be killed or injured. In particular about a year ago , there were a few terrorists who went hiding among civilians in a refugee camp. The terrorists had hiden ammunitions there , and when the terrorists were targeted by Tsahal, the ammunitions exploded at the same time . The casualties amounted to about 40 people. Awful. But of course, Israel was accused of intentionally targeting those civilians . It is important to emphasize that all strikes are carried out with an extraordinary precision, and they are not at all some sort of indiscreminate bombardements like was the case in Syria or Irak by the Americans against Isis .

Wahl's avatar

The Israeli Defense Force is accused of genocide by people who obviously do not know the meaning of the word . According to international law, genocide designates an action aiming at eradicating an ethnic group from the surface of the world which is preposterous in the case of what happens in Gaza. It has nothing to do with the number of actual deaths but it designates the intention. In Gaza, a war is going on , which is unfortunately the case in other places like Ukraine for example. Nobody would call genocide the invasion of Ukraine by the Russians. There are wars going one in Gaza as in Ukraine. In both cases , all those deaths on all sides are tragic.
