Israel walks back its account of the killing of 15 medics in Gaza after video seems to contradict it
-
The military initially said it opened fire because the vehicles were “advancing suspiciously” on nearby troops without headlights or emergency signals. An Israeli military official, speaking late Saturday on condition of anonymity in line with regulations, said that account was “mistaken.”
The footage shows the Red Crescent and Civil Defense teams driving slowly with their emergency vehicles’ lights flashing, logos visible, as they pulled up to help an ambulance that had come under fire earlier. The teams do not appear to be acting unusually or in a threatening manner as three medics emerge and head toward the stricken ambulance.

Thing is even if they admitted it no-one would do anything about it. Why the wasted effort?
wrote 17 days ago last edited byIt's not wasted at all, this is textbook Shock Doctrine (Naomi Klein, 2007). This is Steve Bannons's "flood the zone" strategy that Trump is currently following.
The lies will be believed by dedicated Zionists. Paid Hasbara trolls will be repeating these lies forever.
For most news consumers, the story will come across muddled, confused, and open to personal interpretation. From their low-information perspective, a conclusion of "both sides" seems reasonable.
And for those who are paying attention and have a strong sense of morality, this will be one more battle we will have to repeatedly fight. We will have to expend time and energy to fight this lie, and it is just one of many.

Fascists always lie. Zios are no exception.
wrote 17 days ago last edited byUnderstanding that Zionists are fascists is probably the thing that let me understand why they do the things they do. The extent of their depravity, sometimes comical scheming, projection and of course all the damn lying make perfect sense when you realize that they're just Nazis with a Jewish makeover.

I don't know if I should report this for obvious misinformation or leave it because it's hilarious.

Reading comprehension ain't for everyone

Reading fucking comprehension.
I bring up the time IDF used an ambulance during a raid, that time they killed a grandma, in response to the IDF saying they shot these people because terrorists use ambulances... and people think I'm defending Israel.
Reading comprehension. Come on guys, say it with me. Reading comprehension!

The reason they give for shooting ambulances is that Hamas has used ambulances to move soldiers.
"On December 19, 2024, soldiers from the 'Duvdevan' unit (Israeli military) took part in an operational mission to detain terrorists in Nablus. During the operation, an ambulance-like vehicle was used for operational purposes, without authorisation and without the relevant commanders' approval."

Howdy y'all, just a reminder this particular user has in the past banned pro palastinian users from communities he moderates. Good to see he has presumably changed his mind on the ongoing genocide.

wrote 17 days ago last edited byI think your trying to show that Israeli military committed a war crime but you look like your accusing Hamas of doing the war crime. You got a edit that comment bruv, it's a mess.

wrote 17 days ago last edited byNo, I have banned people advocating for genocide against ANY people.
It doesn't matter to me if you want to wipe out all the Palestinians, Jews, Ukrainians, Russians, Uighur, or Rohingya.
Advocating genocide is a removable offense, repeatedly doing so is bannable.

If you were calling Israel hypocrites you should have added something to the end of this sentence because it reads like you're saying Hamas did it and then attempted to provide an example. Text based sarcasm requires a bit more effort if you don't want to be misunderstood.

wrote 17 days ago last edited byBro are you calling self defence "wanting to genocide Jews"? Is that the misconception your operating on that has led you to banning pro palastinian commenters?

wrote 17 days ago last edited byNo, but the repeated calls of "from the river to the sea" is a genocidal statement, and it doesn't matter if the person making the claim is Palestinian or Jewish.
It's a statement that the opposing side has no right to exist.
I think you'll agree Netanyahu meant it in terms of genocide when he said it, it's equally genocidal going the other direction.

wrote 17 days ago last edited byThe missing context is in the article. If people read it and remembered current events they too would find it utter bullshit that their excuse was "Enemy soldiers use ambulances." And then my comment would naturally follow.

wrote 17 days ago last edited byIf your post said what you wanted it to say, without missing a sentance explaining the part you kept in your head, people wouldn't have to "figure out" that you are saying the opposite of what it sounds like you are saying, because "you know" you would never say what it looks like you are saying.
You just need a second sentence about how it's hypocracy that they said that or something. The part that you know in your head, but didn't put "on paper".

wrote 17 days ago last edited byLol what happened to people championing reading things carefully before commenting? At worst my wording was vague. Could've searched what I was talking about and easily realized was I thought. I assume people can search my comments and see I'm not defending Israel.
