That’s why part of it is to clarify before criticizing.

Their intent was clear as it was entirely consistent with all of their past positions and their stated bias, and it was made extra clear when he described it as Israel “apparently” firing on UN peacekeepers, despite the Israeli military admitting to it.

The truth of it is not in question. Casting even a small measure of doubt on an true event, while choosing to ignore the serious violation in favour of criticizing the victims of that violation, is straight out of the post-truth playbook, and is likely disinformation as opposed to misinformation, which is also consistent with the poster.

Geez. It's like groundhog day there for the peace keepers. Like honestly, is this just going to continue happening? The peace keepers are clearly not going to leave, so is it going to have to come down to some of these people dying?

It's almost like they don't care anymore...They are going to win and they don't give a #### how many people they kill between here and there. Yay.

Maybe they should leave.

I'm torn, what is the point of them dying as well?

I'm gonna guess they don't have the armament to effectively engage the Israeli's, so are just going to have to sit there and take it.

More death.

Isn’t the point of peacekeepers that in general they function as human shields because neither side wants to anger the world by harming them?

The problem now is the lack of UN response for their troops being fired upon.

Why would they give a ####? You see the blind support that they get on this board - there are people that will give them support no matter what they do, and that support is more widespread than we might think. As long as you have a large group of enablers that refuse to hold the IDF accountable, and the US (and many other western nations) has to continue to cater to these people, they will continue to have carte blanche to do what they want. And if you have that, you don’t have to care.

Well, they finally got him, only to create thousands more by doing the same thing to kids today that created his own anger decades ago. It's almost like their decades long strategy of manufacturing terrorists is working too well.

Quote:
He was born in a refugee camp in southern Gaza, where his parents had been forced to live after what Palestinians call the Nakba, or catastrophe, when they were displaced from their homes during the wars surrounding the founding of the State of Israel in 1948. In conversations with fellow prisoners, Mr. Sinwar spoke of how his refugee childhood had led him to Hamas.


“Something he always remembered is that all the men in the camp would go to one bathroom, and the women to another,” said Esmat Mansour, a fellow prisoner held from 1993 to 2013 for killing an Israeli settler. “There was a daily line and you had to wait. And how they distributed food and the humiliation they would undergo. It isn’t something special to him, but it apparently impacted him a lot.”

This is an example of the ignorance and stupidity that has placed Israel where they are today. I didn't think it would need explaining, but if you can't figure it out at this point, that's more a reflection on you than anything else.

That's such a hilariously bad take that I'm 500% certain that he's actually, honestly, truly, just joking around with us.

Right? Right??

Ignorance is you not acknowledging that there is obviously a religious fanaticism behind wanting to destroy Israel, and that a scumbag like Sinwar clearly subscribed to this, and manipulated the lives of thousands of innocents of people to try and accomplish that goal.

But all the dodging and 'oh reflection' on you BS is clearly helping your case. Great job all around by team anti-Israel as usual.

You're wrong, he was the victim. Just ask Fuzz and his gang of cohorts.

There is no pro Hamas faction here little pro genocidal boy.

It is a good thing Sinwar is dead.

However when it comes to the deliberate slaughter and murder of innocents there are no sides to take.

Agreed?

So like what happens now? War is over?

We'll wait a couple years for a new leader to take place and then rinse and repeat?

Or should we exterminate all of Gaza since they're all basically Hamas?

Still waiting for you to quote one single post that shows anyone here is "pro-Hamas". You've ignored that one for a while here, just looking for the teensiest post. Pretty please?
