Those where Hamas terrorist ambulances /s

[–] [email protected] 47 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (3 children)

That is literally what they are claiming.

The IDF said the ambulance was being used by Hamas, adding that 'a number of Hamas terrorist operatives' were killed. The Hamas government said 'several citizens were killed and dozens wounded' when the strike hit a convoy it said was evacuating severely injured patients towards the Rafah crossing.

"Towards the Rafah crossing"

Alright, if terrorists were in there, let them cross the border then and arrest them. You already have the proof to kill them for being terrorists, then you more than surely have the proof to arrest and prosecute them for being terrorists.

Egypt probably wouldn't want to be involved in any of that.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

I have been saying something similar for a while. If Israel is so certain who is or isn't Hamas then they should open as many evacuation corridors, evacuate all non Hamas into Israel, Egypt, etc. Then just sweep Palestine land to take out all the remaining hamas... but obviously it's not that simple. And they can always just shout Hamas when they get caught genociding.

Zero is a number

So now we decide to trust one side of the propaganda but not the other side? Be real, if we question everything Hamas says we should do the same with everything Israel is saying too.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

I never suggested trusting what they said. I just pointed out that even though the original comment was being sarcastic, that was actually exactly what they claimed.

You should practice your reading comprehension instead of jumping to try and say someone said something they didn't.

A few years into the future we will know what is really happening these days, and I feel loke the horrors perpetrated from Israelis will have compete with those of Russians in Ukraine.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 10 months ago (2 children)

They've already killed more Palestinian civilians than Russians did Ukrainian civilians. In one month.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Holy shit really? Do you have a source for that?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Kinda Yes.

Until end of September 2023, all civilians killed in Ukraine are around 9,500.

In Gaza, until yesterday, the death toll passed 9,000. As per the article, most of them were women and children.

I’d assume at least 7,000 were civilians since Israel has admitted targeting press personnel and ambulance convoy.

Russia doesn’t have Israel in its name. So they’re the baddies.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

"will"? it surpassed it long ago.
2 years vs less than 1 month

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

I mean we mostly do. Sure some of the details might be fuzzy, but still. For example Israel actually took credit for this strike.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

No surprise, after humanitarian aid was blocked. Btw, is it still blocked?
