So funny seeing people here react to any news regarding Israel and Gaza. Bomb falls in parking lot of a hospital, Hamas says 20 minutes later 500 dead, everyone believes the and it takes weeks to disprove their claim and bunch of sources to analyze and report on their findings. Any non-Hamas source says terrorists are using terrorist tactics... entire lemmy goes: fake, discredited, Israel ally is lying for them, etc.

And down-votes that are coming on this comment just go to prove how big of a supported to terrorism people here are.

"Terrorists" is the 21st century equivalent to "savages" to justify imperialism and genocide. US propagandists can stfu.

Call it what you like. The fact is they hid behind civilians, kidnapped other civilians and tortured them. Or is cutting off womb of a pregnant woman with baby still moving in her now not savage because we don't want to identify with US?

Got other made up stories? Time and time again has shown that every single thing that comes out of the mouths of US and Israeli politicians is a lie unless proven otherwise.

You have one downvote. From me. And yeah if you're going to bomb a protected target we're going to want to see the evidence. You don't just get to shrug and mumble something about terrorists.

Different people are saying different things. Stop clumping everyone together. Lemmy isn't a monolith.

My issue is that on the (?second) day of the war, a group of Western reporters were presented with "evidence" of the planning that had gone into the attack, and I found the "evidence" to be laughably bad - the evidence itself, the supposed circumstances it was found under, the condition of the evidence - all were bad. And if you present such incredibly poor "evidence" at one point, I'm going to automatically be much more suspicious of any other "evidence" you present later.

My issue is more with people supporting a genocide because Hamas exists.

Few people have a problem condemning Hamas, but when Israel is clearly killing far more civilians and bombing more hospitals than Israel, obsessing about the lesser problem (who were Israel-funded in any case) is deeply suspicious.
