IDF release alleged communications between Hamas operatives discussing it being a PIJ rocket.

If it is real and the translation is correct.... at no point do they say it is a Hamas or PIJ rocket. It's complete non-evidence. It's apparently two random guys going "Hey, they say it's OUR rocket!" "What? Who said this?" "THEY did! What the heck!?". It's just two guys discussing the fact that Hamas has been accused, but they obviously have no knowledge whatsoever. It'd be like presenting posts in this thread as proof of anything.

From my understanding they've been using them but they're kind of terrible for hitting anything that can move. They fire and go in a general direction, so despite the heavier payload they usually do minimal damage.

As the field of fake audio logs collected from loot crates dropped by terrorist NPC's is still incredibly young, there are unfortunately no Israel guidelines for judging an entry, so I'll have to work off the Ukraine guidelines:

- No mention of how great Israel's streets are and how much more civilized they are
- No hamas conscript seeking out a ceramic toilet to gift to his chieftess
- Partner does not ask him to commit several rapes in his name by the end
- does not mention either of the Hamas soldier's incredibly tiny penis and low masculinity, barely even acknowleges the IDF's impressive virility
- Was not served on a tastefully weathered and cracked Samsung Galaxy S9+

In total, I have no choice but to provide [ISRAEL] Hamas Soldiers Get SPOOKED By Jihad Rocket! a 0/10

If Israel had done this intentionally, why wouldn't they just say "Hamas terrorists were using civilians as human shields and launching rockets from the hospital parking lot" like they usually do?

Saying "We didn't do it" is a different kind of dishonesty--something they might say to mitigate international blowback from a targeted strike on civilians, but even then I can't imagine it would have been done intentionally. Nothing is gained from this at all in the current environment.

US intelligence agencies are not a third party. They are intimately involved in the conflict and have a horse in the race. They are not above lying s history has shown. Also, as someone else mentioned, it is not a hamas claim, it is a witness claim. It is a survivor claim.

I think if it didn't happen in any way, then the IDF and US would be saying that at the very least.

Also like, there's evidence of a blast there. No one has claimed it destroyed a hospital, but people do say it killed a bunch of people outside and damaged the place.

in that image there's incredibly clear evidence of a large blast and you can see mattresses on cars and rugs off on the right side where people had reportedly been camping out in that area. the latter fact is not under contention by any side as far as I know or have seen. that there was a large blast on an area where civilians were staying doesn't appear to be in question in any meaningful way

It was hamas officials who originally broke the news on the ground, unless I am mistaken. Al-Jazeera was quoting them in its initial reporting. If this isn’t true, then I’ll take that back. There is no subtle digging going on, and I am sure you cant afford for me to live in your head rent free like this.

Israel are 100% in the wrong in this war, and are actively trying to genocide Palestinians, again. I just dont see any reliable evidence they did this particular bomb and that seems a deeply troubling prospect to other posters, or they have no threshold of evidence that the IDF could reach to convince them anyway. Objectivity was lost the moment it was claimed the IDF killed 500+ mere minutes after the explosion happened, when that is an impossible claim to verify on the ground that quickly for obvious reasons

Collapsing Farts posted:

It was not and I showed it was not from the start of the shared reporting last night. It only ever landed in the carpark/courtyard based on the geolocation data that was doubted and then turned out to be almost exactly correct.

This was the image I retracted from posting earlier because I was worried about there being gore maybe. Blast did definitely occur and people did definitely die, and many of them. It was massively overexaggerated though and hopefully the death toll will be revised down. BBC already removed the 500 figure from their reporting.

Hello.

Zoeb posted:

There seems to be a consensus among US based media to report, either through passive voice that an explosion happened without attribution or to uncritically repeat the IDF position that the rocket was fired by Palestinians to destroy their own hospital. Even with this consensus of US based media and government sources asserting this, while I don't have proof, I can say that I simply do not believe this narrative. It is as credible to me as the wallet inspector. It sounds like a lie. It smells like a lie. It is as simple as that. I do not believe them.

Ordinarily I would trust these sources but they have over the past few days demonstrated a complete lack of empathy for the Palestinian side in the conflict. They have been like this for decades and public figures who challenge the consensus that favors Israel find their careers in shambles. Journalists who should know better have demonstrated a lack of due diligence, professional skepticism, and objectivity. They have irresponsibly reported Israeli claims in the headlines knowing full well that much of their audience are going to read "Pentagon officials say x happened" as "x happened."

On this issue and quite a few others, US based media is not objective or credible. They have a horse in the race. It is a habitual and pervasive pattern that Noam Chomsky once called "manufacturing consent." No one comes in an tells them what to write. There is no smokey board room where they plot this out. This is a boring dystopia, routine. I am not someone who believes in conspiracy theories. No conspiracy is necessary. People with heterodox views that conflict with the interest of the owners of news media simply are not hired to be journalists for mainstream publications.

Israel has a far right government that serves as constituency of far right settlers and religious zealots who have a worldview that is fundamentally incompatible with ideas like all people being created equal. They are a self selecting sample. Jewish people who are appalled by these views frequently do not move to Israel. Israelis who do not agree with these views are a shrinking minority though it is not easy to pack your bags and switch countries. These people wanted a better life, a safe place to live, but that is not what Israel is. It is a supremacist project, a colony and this attempt to reduce the population of Gaza to zero after some people broke out of the open air prison and killed people in retaliation for years of oppression are the fruits of a hateful ideology.

It didn't have to be this way. This didn't have to happen. Jews and Muslims could have worked to share the region, created a state where Jewish people and Muslims and Christians had constitutional protections and a 1 person 1 vote democracy and still offered a homeland for Jewish people, just not one where they were the only voice that mattered. Nobody needed to lose their house. Nobody needed to die. There didn't have to be a Hamas. If I believed in God I would pray that he scoop up this land in his hand and teach his children be nice to each other.

I find this whole situation to be depressing. I often think about what I would do if I lived in the same time as the holocaust and it is apparently this. Israels government is fully committed to genocide and my government and tax dollars are fully committed to helping. Any attempt to help the Palestinians is treated as treason and terrorist financing. Funny how money equals speech if you want to give to a superPAC but not to help Palestinians survive this.

In the mean time journalists must reflect upon who's side they are on and if they are as committed to the truth as they were trained to be. They are bringing dishonor to their profession.

Between the bad faith posters in this thread and armchair military wrigging, I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate this post and I agree with you.

I can only see a single flipped car I think. This really doesn't feel like a very powerful explosion, and certainly not one that killed 500 people.

I get that people don't trust the IDF, but the alternative source is literally Hamas. You might remember them as the group that killed 1,000 Israeli civilians a couple of weeks ago - they may not be trustworthy sources of information!

Rather than the burden of proof over whose conclusion being most likely falling on me for any longer after all the links I have shared, why don’t you share actual proof that it was an IDF strike?

:lmao: at no point are you even considering that it could be an IDF bomb. Come on! "Oh well, it doesn't NEED to be a Qassam filled with hyper-liquid fuel despite being a solid-state rocket? Then hey, that means it can just be a Qassam!". You can really tell how at no point in your mind have you ever even thought for a nanosecond that it wasn't Hamas/PIJ.

That's still a drat big boom for a Qassam, and Hamas doesn't had the big bombs that PIJ have.

Can you give us any evidence that it was an IDF bomb.

I get that people don't trust the IDF, but the alternative source is literally Hamas. You might remember them as the group that killed 1,000 Israeli civilians a couple of weeks ago - they may not be trustworthy sources of information!

And Israel is?

Also just splitting hairs but even Israel isn't claiming Hamas did it, but Islamic Jihad.
