The only one I give any credence to is Al Jazeera Of course you do chap. Where else would you go but the terrorist supporters fan club Al Jazeera For most Palestinians, October 7’s savagery is literally unbelievable. Blame the TV news? Al Jazeera and others largely ignored Hamas atrocities, bolstering distrust of Israeli accounts; one poll found 97% in West Bank deny the monstrous acts committed against civilians. No Israeli civilians were killed in the October 7 onslaught on communities near Gaza, Palestinian diplomat Abdullah Abu Shawesh claimed matter of factly to Al Jazeera last week. Accounts of rape and other atrocities “were lies,” he said, dismissing the overwhelming evidence that Hamas’s slaughter of 1,200 people in southern Israel included indiscriminate massacres and sexual violence. On the Palestinian street, Shawesh’s claims are not the views of a fringe conspiracy theorist, but rather reflective of mainstream beliefs, with polling and other evidence showing high levels of denialism regarding the savagery visited upon southern Israel that day. https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-most-palestinians-october-7s-savagery-is-literally-unbelievable-blame-the-tv-news/ -
A word on the actual substance, maybe No need, read my post again: "I am fully up to speed on the Israel and Hamas previous relationship." I have discussed and provided numerous links months ago on this, too tedious for me to do it all again but certainly don't take that as a negative to you doing so, I was just pointing out the obvious bias of the author in your previous link. Your fresh link from a Pakistan author, well as you know Islamabad's support for the Hamas terrorists goes beyond the simply lending of 'moral, diplomatic and political support';

Yeah right, written by Mehdi Hasan, don't find his stuff very credible although I am fully up to speed on the Israel and Hamas previous relationship. Liberal MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan history of controversial rhetoric in spotlight amid hostile coverage of Israel Inflammatory remarks he made in 2009 before becoming an MSNBC personality began circulating online again, when he compared non-Muslims to "animals" and linked homosexuals to "pedophiles" and "sexual deviants." New York Post reporter Jon Levine said it's "hard to imagine MSNBC allowing someone on television who said similar things about a different religion." https://www.foxnews.com/media/liberal-msnbc-host-mehdi-hasan-history-controversial-rhetoric-in-spotlight-amid-hostile-coverage-israel MEHDI HASAN’S DECEITFUL DEFENSE OF AN ANTISEMITIC SCREED https://www.camera.org/article/mehdi-hasans-pathetic-defense-of-an-antisemitic-screed/

And: "The Gaza Strip, controlled by Hamas since 2007 following a violent takeover..." Sort of: Hamas has controlled Gaza since 2007 when it ousted the Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority in a violent takeover after winning the Palestinian elections the previous year. https://www.axios.com/2023/10/21/gaza-strip-israel-hamas-war-demographics

Worrying, the families will are going to be distraught hearing this. No wonder Hamas wants to string the talks out as long as possible with delusional demands. Report: US officials fear most of the hostages held by Hamas could be dead US officials tell the Wall Street Journal that there are fears that most of the Israeli hostages in Hamas captivity could be dead. The report comes amid talks to secure a hostage release deal and a truce, with some Hamas sources indicating that they are unable to provide 40 living hostages from the elderly, women and female soldiers that Israel is demanding. The report quotes US officials as saying that some were likely killed during Israeli strikes on Gaza, while others have died from health issues, including injuries suffered during their initial capture. https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/report-us-officials-fear-most-of-the-hostages-held-by-hamas-could-be-dead/ -

Go girls: The IDF says it has recently seen a massive spike in women joining combat units, releasing data from the first week of the military's March-April draft. According to data from the IDF, the draft turnout for female troops in combat units was 157 percent, meaning 57% more than had initially planned for. For comparison, during the same period last year, the turnout was 102%. The IDF says that the Border Defense Corps’ light infantry units saw a 158% draft turnout, and the corps’ Combat Intelligence Collection units -- where surveillance soldiers serve -- saw a 210% turnout. The Artillery Corps saw a 195% draft turnout; the Air Force’s air defense array saw 114%; the Home Front Command’s Search and Rescue units saw 170%; and the Border Police saw 139%. Similarly, among male conscripts, there has been a rise in soldiers drafting to combat units. According to the data, the Combat Engineering Corps saw a 122% draft turnout, and the Artillery Corps saw 109%. The IDF does not release the turnout data for the Armored Corps, but says it is a rise of 130% compared to March 2023's draft. https://twitter.com/manniefabian/status/1778381164840939547 -

Another one making false claims did you forget the Admin post on the previous page? "Any alleged factual claims must be supported by a valid link to an approved credible source." -

You tell me, how a drone high above can see inside a car? Even if they knew there were others in the car it still does not make it a crime as you claim. -

Watching their favourite channel Al Jazeera. Said to have a personal fortune of $4 Billion living the life of luxury with the other Hamas leaders in Qatar, the corrupt cowards. -
Not really, no one claims there is no discriminations as in all other countries but they do mostly have equal rights Arab citizens have the same legal rights as Jewish Israelis, but they tend to live in poorer cities, have less formal education, and face other challenges that some experts attribute to structural discrimination. https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/what-know-about-arab-citizens-israel

Here, an expert give his professional opinion, I agree with everything he says. What would you do to get rid of the terrorists? Israel Has Created a New Standard for Urban Warfare. Why Will No One Admit It? | Opinion Israel has not created a gold standard in civilian harm mitigation in war. That implies there is a standard in civilian casualties in war that is acceptable or not acceptable; that zero civilian deaths in war is remotely possible and should be the goal; that there is a set civilian-to-combatant ratio in war no matter the context or tactics of the enemy. But all available evidence shows that Israel has followed the laws of war, legal obligations, best practices in civilian harm mitigation and still found a way to reduce civilian casualties to historically low levels. Those calling for Israel to find an alternative to inflicting civilian casualties to lower amounts (like zero) should be honest that this alternative would leave the Israeli hostages in captivity and allow Hamas to survive the war. The alternative to a nation's survival cannot be a path to extinction. https://www.newsweek.com/israel-has-created-new-standard-urban-warfare-why-will-no-one-admit-it-opinion-1883286 Israel Implemented More Measures to Prevent Civilian Casualties Than Any Other Nation in History | Opinion The reality is that when it comes to avoiding civilian harm, there is no modern comparison to Israel's war against Hamas. Israel is not fighting a battle like Fallujah, Mosul, or Raqqa; it is fighting a war involving synchronous major urban battles. No military in modern history has faced over 30,000 urban defenders in more than seven cities using human shields and hiding in hundreds of miles of underground networks purposely built under civilian sites, while holding hundreds of hostages. Despite the unique challenges Israel faces in its war against Hamas, it has implemented more measures to prevent civilian casualties than any other military in history. https://www.newsweek.com/israel-implemented-more-measures-prevent-civilian-casualties-any-other-nation-history-opinion-1865613 -

The problem is I don't fall for obvious off topic baiting. So your not going to give an opinion but expect me to. Then make things up about what I think. -
