This is exactly the reason why the established press, with reputations to protect, should be believed to a much greater extent than prejudiced "internet experts".

 

When organisations such as the NYT get something wrong, they retract and apologise whereas biased keyboard warriors never do likewise.

 

Any intelligent and rational person will have the awareness to not accept at face value the attempts by both sides in this conflict to either demonise their opponent or downplay their own criminality.

 

Just because one wants something to be true as it benefits their side, does not make it true.

 

Be patient, don't leap to conclusions and wait for verifiable proof from reputable sources.

 

Most importantly of course, is to not forget to change one's opinion when the evidence shows that one is wrong.

 

 

This is exactly the reason why we have access to posting histories. You banked a whole lot of denial and nonsense on the initial NYT report, despite mounting evidence. Now that they issue and apology for that, you still waffle.

 

As for 'keyboard warriors' - had a look in the mirror lately? And what is your claim, exactly? That you do not make mistakes? That you tend to apologize when they are pointed out?

 

You, a whole lot of posters who are 'pro-Palestine' went for this like its gold. Same globally, especially in the Arab and Muslim world. Preaching now about not accepting things at face value is disengenious, if unsurprising.

 

Don't see your posts on here as displaying much patience, avoid leaping to conclusions or waiting for facts. 

 

Do make it known when you come to your senses and change your opinion.

You are very confrontational, calling me a liar. 

Most on this thread refuse to acknowledge Israel are committing war crimes, which they are, killing children, refusing food and water, for a start. 

Not everyone is polarised and has a side here. 

Israel is an apartheid state. The UN and Amnesty international state this. Why do you refuse to accept this? 

I did not call you a liar, I said you were lying. If you admit you were mistaken and apologize, I will take it back and apologize. If you don't, and just continue telling lies, I will start calling you a liar. 

 

Now when you claim Israel is committing war crimes by killing children and refusing food and water, that is a lie.

They're is no easy solution when both hate each other so much. 

 

One thing, that is obvious is for Israel to treat Palestinians equally and do away with all the discriminatory laws and apartheid. This  is the first step. Israel are forcing millions to leave their homes, maybe this is the better option for them to get the land they seem hungry for, which will cause even more resentment. 

 

One thing that is obvious to me is that if Hamas/Palestine wanted Isreal end to this then they all they have to do is surrender all their terrorists to an international body to face justice for the atrocities they committed and return the innocent civilian hostages they are holding (and probably torturing) alive.   That would be a good starting point to negotiate peace I think and I also think that then the world would unite and ensure all the innocents in Palestine are given aid and support to rebuild their country.

International law 1, BBC 0, Hamas -10 (Thorgal scoreless)

 

 

   An International  Lawyer who advises Israel on the legalities of the conflict . 

Israel drops leaflets on targets prior to bombing , which means all their bombings of Gaza are legal and there are no war crimes committed (even if civilians are killed in the bombings .

   Israel are also legally entitled to lay siege on Gaza , it has no obligation to supply its enemy with commodities .

   Israel takes advice on the legalities of the war , its interesting to hear a International Barrister stating the actual law of what a war crime is , rather than  listening to some Aseannow  posters making up what constitutes a war crime and then making false allegations about Israel committing war crimes

Many posters go on about international law, war crimes, crimes against humanity and so on. Many perceptions of what these actually are seem to be based on presumptions, wishful thinking, misleading comments by politicians and reporters, quoting bits which aren't law itself, but interpretations or simply not reading the fine print.

 

If it helps some, let me put it this way - the actual function of these 'restrictions' is to to make sure potential wars between industrialized, advanced, powerful nations and their counterparts do not go over the top. With all the caveats and loopholes included, they aim to protect civilians, but also to allow such countries the freedom to act. They are, indeed, not to the benefit of weaker, less advanced armies and nations. Reasons for this can be described as either a measure of deterrence, or preserving a power imbalance. Their presentation as being solely focused on human rights etc. rather than being a manual of the rules of war, is IMO, intentional.

Absolutely appalling. The atrocities carried out on 7th October by representatives of the Palestinian government of Gaza, are now being exposed as far more savage, barbaric, and inhumane than anyone had feared, and I think most feared the worst. One hundred reporters from around the world were there, and this is now being widely reported; even by the BBC and the Guardian.

 

Understandably, I don’t believe photos were shown of the pregnant woman who had her unborn child ripped from her stomach to be beheaded, before she was beheaded herself, but I think evidence has been shown to some political leaders.

 

 

**** In an audio recording played for the press, Confino (reporter) reported that a Hamas militant called his parents to brag about his killing, saying, “I killed 10 Jews with my own hands. I’m using the dead Jewish woman’s phone to call you now.”

The Guardian reported that a clip showed an Israeli woman checking a burned woman’s corpse to see if it was a family member. The dead woman’s dress “was pulled up to her waist and her underpants had been removed,” the paper wrote.

 

I’m at a loss to know what a proportionate response to this can be, especially given that the government of Gaza are now asking their own citizens to stand in-front of them and protect them from justice. It is also of great concern that the IDF say they have irrefutable evidence of direct involvement by Iran in the massacre. God help us all.

   The tale of two Churches in Gaza .

Two Churches got bombed in Gaza, one by Israel and one by Hamas

Both Churches seem to have been bombed by mistake , with the missiles not hitting their intended targets .

   Israel held its hands up and immediately admitted its mistake and admitted that it was their rocket which misfired .

   On the other hand , Hamas denied it was their rocket that misfired and hit the Church  and blamed it on Israel and even after evidence has been shown that it was a Hamas rocket that hit the Church, they still deny it and continue to blame Israel .

   Worth remembering about who tells the truth and who tells lies , if any disagreements arise in the future

I've hesitated to mention this but on the day of the attack videos were posted in pro Hamas propaganda streams showing live children being butchered. The videos were taken down as they appeared. I saw two, but I had to close the second one and log out, utterly horrific. Up close and clear, purposely filmed for posting, not  body camera footage. 

 

I'm sure the intelligence agencies have this material.
