I don't have to see Nick's post. You claimed many people stated the conflict started Oct7th. The conflict has been ongoing for years with at least 3 separate wars in between ceasefire periods. This is the latest war started by Hamas.

Who are all these people who stated the conflict only started on Oct 7th?

You just said: They also lie a lot, they broke the last hostage deal ceasefire after lying. They are a barrier to any deal for long term peace.

Polls show a majority support Hamas.

The only thing standing in the way of stopping this war today is Hamas . The protestor

Actually one of the hostages escaped in Gaza for 4 days hiding but the Gazans then returned him to the terrorists! "He managed to escape and to hide out, alone, for four days. He tried to reach the border. In the end, the Gazans caught him and returned him to the terrorists' hands." https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/gaza-hostage-briefly-escaped-captors-after-building-was-bombed-family-says-2023-11-27/ https://archive.ph/D9o2o

So you read read the quote, which is NOT an opinion. The same quote that is here: “We are called a nation of martyrs,” said another top Hamas official, Ghazi Hamad. “And we are proud to sacrifice martyrs.” He promised more attacks: “There will be a second, a third, a fourth.” When asked whether he sought the annihilation of Israel, Hamad matter-of-factly replied, “Yes, of course.” https://www.timesofisrael.com/hamas-official-says-group-aims-to-repeat-oct-7-onslaught-many-times-to-destroy-israel/ You avoided my question, why?

Yes, that's the view from Hamas, the ones who are holding hostages and using the civilians in Gaza as sacrifice in the human shield strategy Hamas considers two million Gazan civilians, including children, as martyrs, whether they want to be or not. https://thehill.com/opinion/international/4295601-human-sacrifice-is-central-to-hamass-strategy/ I am not a military expert so I cannot say what the acceptable figure, can you? I do know there are far too many because of Hamas and that if they released the hostages it would come to a stop today. There is a deal ready for them now. Only Hamas is standing in the way.

Yes from Hamas, they reckon 2 million are acceptable

Its not about me being correct, its about you making false claims. Here's another article: No military fighting an entrenched enemy in dense urban terrain in an area barely twice the size of Washington D.C. can avoid all civilian casualties. Reports of over 25,000 Palestinians killed, be they civilians or Hamas, have made headlines. But Israel has taken more measures to avoid needless civilian harm than virtually any other nation that's fought an urban war. https://www.newsweek.com/israel-implemented-more-measures-prevent-civilian-casualties-any-other-nation-history-opinion-1865613

Back to the topic. Apparently Hamas run Gaza Health Authority have have confirmed the NYPD has arrested 17,654 people at Columbia University tonight.

What buddy? Interjecting where, a bit like you are doing now you mean?

You said: Where does the article say that?

Ok so now we've established its nothing like the IRA, where does the article claim Israelis created a gold standard?

What's that got to do with the article and the fighting methods used by Hamas in Gaza?

Not correct: The process of identifying military targets in the IDF consists of various types of tools and methods, including information management tools, which are used in order to help the intelligence analysts to gather and optimally analyze the intelligence, obtained from a variety of sources. Contrary to claims, the IDF does not use an artificial intelligence system that identifies terrorist operatives or tries to predict whether a person is a terrorist. Information systems are merely tools for analysts in the target identification process. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/03/israel-defence-forces-response-to-claims-about-use-of-lavender-ai-database-in-gaza

Here's one of a few... 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. https://www.newsweek.com/israel-has-created-new-standard-urban-warfare-why-will-no-one-admit-it-opinion-1883286

What makes you think I have so much anguish Chomper Higgot?

You asked me a question: You got a reply: Now you offer deflection

Assuming I'm dodging is false, assuming I directed you to the correct topic is correct. Enough of the false narrative. I absolutely believe the IDF is a reliable source for this when evidence is to hand. You can get to what you want CH. lol Do you have a problem going to the right topic for this now?

Claims IDF with photos of reporter training other terrorists and employment docs yes

Would you like to go to the topic and ask as all the evidence including photographic is there.

I didn't even hint that you may be a Hamas supporter. Having Al Jazeera as your go to is all I need to know. Yes plenty of proof, even has its own topic on it on this forum. Al Jazeera journalist reportedly moonlights as Hamas commander claims IDF https://aseannow.com/topic/1319746-al-jazeera-journalist-reportedly-moonlights-as-hamas-commander-claims-idf More after that if you want to see more.

Most Hamas supporters would agree with you as they have their own working for them

Yes I can read, but I read that report when it was published months ago. I was responding to Al Jazeera and its terrorist employees.
