There's a lot of misinformation/propaganda spreading around and this thread is to raise awareness of the ones circulating. Here's one for example:

Yes, Jeremy Bowen obviously thinks it’s bs, but can’t say so. I think this extract from his report speaks volumes, as does the rest of it.

The evidence Israel has produced, so far, I do not believe to be convincing in terms of the kind of rhetoric Israelis were using about the set-up at the hospital, which suggested this was a nerve centre for the Hamas operation.

If there was a nerve centre there - and there has been speculation about that possibility since 2014 - then the Israelis have not yet revealed definitive evidence of its existence to the outside world.
Jeremy Bowen - BBC website.

part of it could be the sources used to get the evidence, eg undercover operatives and revealing the evidence could reveal the operatives.

I understand what you mean. It's because most of those guidelines are open to interpretation.

Thats the issue, how can people have structured debates and presume to follow the guidelines if they are open ended.

Do you think the IDF also cut off an 8 years old fingers, sawed off his sister foot, rapped their mother and and cut off her breasts, before killing them all?
What about the baby burnt in a kitchen oven, the IDF too?

Another pro Israel supporter giving explicit gory details. Again. And again.

Its unusual at times depending on the different threads that some posts get deleted and then when other posters point out that no guidelines were broken, then it seems it depends more on the admin at the time etc,

It does raid the question of whether Hamas did burn victims like it was reported or if it was the IDF all along.

I am sure it wasn’t just the IDF at all, but more likely a result of all round unpredictability and chaos. There were also ordinary Palestinians who got through and ran amok.

What a horrific thing happened,

This is more about the own fire. I don’t know how to fact check it though.

Israel’s military received orders to shell Israeli homes and even their own bases as they were overwhelmed by Hamas militants on October 7. How many Israeli citizens said to have been “burned alive” were actually killed by friendly fire? Several new te...

Yes, I think the more we find out about the truth behind Israel's lies, the more we realise that nothing bad actually happened on 7 October, or at least we begin to understand that most of the damage done was entirely by the IDF.

Blimey, I've heard about rewriting history. But normally people wait more than a few days or weeks to do it.

*"Israel now admits some 200 of the bodies they said were Israelis turned out to be "so badly burned" bodies of "Hamas terrorists"!+

The question then is: who burned them?!?"

Are these bodies from Oct 7th?

Apparently IDF apache helicopters fired at houses where they thought Hamas terrorists were. The houses burnt up. A lot of burning was caused by the IDF, not Hamas.

Some of the Israelis killed were killed as part of the IDF trying to kill terrorists who were in houses with hostages.

They also shot at cars.

I’ll try to find where I read this but it was a week or so ago.

There were also Israeli tanks shooting.
(mentioned in account by Israeli Jasmine Porat):
www.middleeastmonitor.com/20231021-israel-settler-israel-forces-killed-hostages-not-hamas/

There is something here:
“Israeli Apache helicopters killed own soldiers, civilians on 7 October: ReportNew footage corroborates previous reports that say the Israeli military is responsible for many of the Israeli casualties during the first day of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood”

This is probably a more relevant question for @Ohlalalalala new thread but seeing as the majority of posters are in here already, why do you believe/trust the propaganda being spouted out by the IDF? This is a genuine question and not intended to be goady in any way.

So no one is going to answer this question then?

There needs to be a detailed set of guidelines as at times it seems whichever admin is active then when you read the guidelines there not very detailed.

I just found out! I hope @MNHQ is not censoring articles written by academics now.

There were no broken guidelines. I saw so many threads with shady articles, inflammatory language and fake news being left.

I am hoping it's a mistake and that it will be reinstated shortly.

Although the world will need to support Gaza, particularly countries like the US and the UK who supported Israel with the bombing campaign, Israel could be liable under international law.

I think the thing there is that Israel doesn't care about any International laws. Who would force them to pay up? Israel has literally gotten up and walked out of UN meetings when they hear something they don't like. They accuse humanitarian organisations of being biased or antisemitic when they hear something they don't like. They know that the big guns, the US, UK and Germany will always twist themselves in knots to back them so they just don't care about the law.

Unfortunately that's true. Hopefully justice and law will prevail this time (I am an optimistic person 😶)
