This is extremely one of the worst posts I've ever read, and is precisely why I ask you all to not post like idiots in here.

Just watched some Palestinians get shot and loaded into ambulances on a livestream.
None of them were anywhere near the fence, not that that would excuse it even if they were.
Sickening.

People can go on about how the internet was a mistake all they want, but I think it's a great thing because without it, the sole source of news about Palestine would be poo poo like this from my local newspaper (and from AP before that)
quote:JERUSALEM (AP) - Gaza's militant Hamas rulers said Saturday they had accepted a cease-fire ending a massive Israeli onslaught on militant positions after a soldier was shot dead, once again pulling the sides back from the brink of a full-fledged war.
Israel and Hamas have fought three such wars over the past decade and Hamas agreed to the second such cease-fire in a week under heavy Egyptian and international pressure.
Even after last week's cease-fire ended the fiercest exchange of rocket fire and Israeli airstrikes since the 2014 war, incendiary kites and balloons continued to float from Gaza into Israel, setting off damaging fires to farmlands. Israel has stepped up strikes since then to signal its new threshold for engagement after months of largely refraining to act.
Israel says it has no interest is engaging in another war with Hamas, but says it will no longer tolerate the Gaza militant campaign of flying the incendiary devices into Israel.
On Friday, a Palestinian sniper killed an Israeli soldier along the border - the first casualty it has sustained in four years - and Israel unleashed an offensive it says destroyed more than 60 Hamas targets, including three battalion headquarters. Four Palestinians were killed, of which three were Hamas militants.
"The attack delivered a severe blow to the Hamas' training array, command and control abilities, weaponry, aerial defense and logistic capabilities along with additional military infrastructure," the Israeli military said in a statement, adding that the strikes "will intensify as necessary."
Israel's top leadership convened late into the night Friday at military headquarters to discuss potential actions.
In a brief statement early Saturday, Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said the movement accepted the cease-fire brokered by Egyptian and United Nations officials and that calm had been restored. Later, the Israeli military announced a return to civilian routine along the volatile border.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said Saturday he was "gravely concerned" about the escalation and called on both sides to step back from the prospect of another devastating conflict.
"Any further escalation will endanger the lives of Palestinians and Israelis alike, deepen the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza and undermine current efforts to improve livelihoods," he said.
The recent outburst of violence comes after months of near-weekly border protests organized by Hamas aimed in part at protesting the Israeli-Egyptian blockade of Gaza. Over 130 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire since the protests began on March 30.
Israel and Egypt have maintained a blockade on Gaza for over a decade in an attempt to weaken Hamas. The blockade has caused widespread economic hardship. Israel says the naval blockade is necessary to protect its citizens from weapons smuggling.
Israel says it is defending its sovereign border and accuses Hamas of using the protests as cover for attempts to breach the border fence and attack Israeli civilians and soldiers.
"Hamas terrorists opened fire today on Israelis. Those are not 'protesters,'" Foreign Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon wrote Friday on Twitter. "We will not tolerate attacks endangering Israelis. Under no circumstance."
The Israeli retaliation Friday to the soldier's killing was fierce, but Hamas' response was far meeker with just a few projectiles launched that were intercepted by Israel.
Israel announced late Saturday that the casualty was Staff Sgt. Aviv Levi, a 21-year-old infantryman.
Among other things - It contradicts itself:
quote:Even after last week's cease-fire ended the fiercest exchange of rocket fire and Israeli airstrikes since the 2014 war quote:The Israeli retaliation Friday to the soldier's killing was fierce, but Hamas' response was far meeker with just a few projectiles launched that were intercepted by Israel.
quote:Israel has stepped up strikes since then to signal its new threshold for engagement after months of largely refraining to act. quote:Over 130 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire since the protests began on March 30.
And of course removes any mention of the main reason for the protests (right of return), only saying it was to do with the blockade.
Also no mention of Israeli snipers killing civilians and medics.
It's a great example of the sort of crap you get from mainstream news.

Watch the film the Israel lobby didn’t want you to see
quote:
The Electronic Intifada has obtained a complete copy of The Lobby – USA, a four-part undercover investigation by Al Jazeera into Israel’s covert influence campaign in the United States.
The film was made by Al Jazeera during 2016 and was completed in October 2017.
But it was censored after Qatar, the gas-rich Gulf emirate that funds Al Jazeera, came under intense Israel lobby pressure not to air the film.
whole thing is out finally.

if you're wondering why the AJ footage showing the "misfiring rocket" is only 30 seconds long, this is why:
https://x.com/GrantSmithEllis/status/1714399186295111815?s=20
and according to palestinian sources, IDF planes had just finished using white phosphorus (again) 2 minutes before the hospital blew up.
