Hopefully they'll get back the ones who were kidnapped from the festival too...

EasterIssland · 07/02/2024 21:01

Yeah. Hopefully they’ll find every single one that is lying about having attended the festival

EasterIssland · 07/02/2024 20:55

ps if anyone is triggered cuz of the sentence “Palestinian resistance” then I do apologise. I just realised that the place I copied it from had that. I’ve tried editing the post but i can’t anymore. The post is not denying 7-10 but about people trying to take economical benefit from it

I'm sure you're right, @EasterIssland . Hamas didn't really attack Israel, and everything they did was absolutely fine! Honestly, they were just lovely on the day. Everything reported since has been a gross exaggeration. This sort of thing, for example, is just made up.

Good luck with all that, by the way.

Try reading again. Thanks

A new investigation by Israel's Kan News revealed that dozens of Israelis lied claiming that they attended the Nova music festival on October 7 to earn dozens of thousands of Shekels as compensation.

The investigation stated that the individuals in question presented false evidence claiming that they were victims of the Palestinian resistance.

its in Hebrew , I’ve copied the text into translate to verify that the source where I had seen it matched with what this newspaper is saying

CNN staff say network’s pro-Israel slant amounts to ‘journalistic malpractice’

There are so many questions that can be asked here but my main one being, how are they able to walk so casually and in open air if there are Hamas fighter there?

A video captioned "A truck cuts through a crowd of Palestinian protesters blocking a freeway in Los Angeles" is 100% fake.

Anti-semitic material like this spreads like wildfire because people run with their emotions and are largely incapable of controlling themselves. Critical thinking flies right out of the window.

There is so much on Tic toc, X and Instagram that is fake. It gets the reaction people expect, hatred.

Let's be honest, the far right 'counter-protest' people are far more of a risk to both Jews and Muslims than either of the 'sides' are to each other.

Yeah, because it's really the 'far' right chanting death to all Jews isn't it? 🙄

Video of vehicle driving ‘through crowd of Palestine protesters’ actually from 2020 Black Lives Matter march - Full Fact

Footage shared on social media of a vehicle driving through a crowd of protesters is unrelated to the Israel-Gaza conflict.

Blimey! This thread has taken an astonishing turn 🤯

@Thereissomelight can you spell out what you're implying must have happened? Something like Israel did some dirty deal to make more money by, ermmm, arranging a nice little pogrom?

It seems there's no end to the sick violations people are happy to visit upon Israel, but this is one twist of the knife too far.

noblegiraffe · 10/01/2024 11:15

No, that's a different conspiracy theorist.

GaterGame · 10/01/2024 11:15

Thereissomelight · 10/01/2024 10:51

Well who knows.

I hope that investigations will continue so that we DO know in time.

Important to look into these things I think.

Wars and ethnic cleansing cost money. Although I’m pleased to see that the US seems to be getting a little tougher on Israel’s leaked plans to force the homeless Gazans to leave Gaza.

You're not the Israel did 9/11 poster are you?

You begin with "who knows?" and end on the usual implication towards Israel.

As @noblegiraffe says Hamas would reasonably be the number one suspect. Yet you're unwilling to concede so.

Once again, absolutely anything to distract from the fake news implicating Israelis in order to poison the well with speculative hints intended to deflect attention away from Hamas.

Every time. 🤷‍♂️

noblegiraffe · 10/01/2024 11:05

Well who knows.

Easy question for you here:

Who definitely 100% knew in advance of the terrorist attack that it was going to happen?

Can you answer that one?

Who knows who knew what.
Numerous reports of Israel having been warned that the attack was imminent but they failed to stop it.

That's a misrepresentation. Months ago, I provided a lot of detail around the reality of security intelligence, but I'm not surprised to see misrepresentations still occur.

In a nutshell, intelligence agencies receive so many reports daily that its NOT a case of looking for a needle in a haystack.

It's actually a case of looking for the needle on a stack of needles that can cause immediate harm. In amongst all that will be false reports.

It's a constant process of evaluation of risk levels. Intelligence is NOT an exact science and laypersons routinely misunderstand it as well as attribute nefarious intentions since they overestimate intelligence services' capabilities.

noblegiraffe · 10/01/2024 10:42

You know they're terrorists, right?

noblegiraffe · 10/01/2024 10:42

So you're unwilling to admit that Hamas would be suspects no. 1 on people who knew in advance of the attack and would seek to profit from it?

Thereissomelight · 10/01/2024 10:39

noblegiraffe · 10/01/2024 10:37

But if we are speculating, Hamas are the ones who knew the attack was coming so would be suspects no. 1, right?
