This is the reality of what Israel is doing (part 3)

Haaretz ( Israeli news) today.

^Fighting in Gaza, IDF Tank Officer Who Shelled Kibbutz House on Oct. 7 Says 'I Had No Choice'*

On October 7, Col. Nissim Hazan took control of a damaged tank and drove it to Kibbutz Be'eri where, for two whole days, he battled Hamas terrorists. It was there that he fired a shell at the home of Pessi Cohen. He tells Haaretz that he did not know there were hostages inside. 'We needed to shake things up that day,' he says.

In this particular case he says he did not know hostages were inside. ( Though I don’t know how he could he have thought there definitely were not Israelis inside.)

Seen on the Al Jazeera English news this morning.

In the West Bank the Israelis control the Palestinians’ water and divert it for the illegal settlements. Every year they reduce it more. Ancient ponds and springs are now dry or barely running.. The Israeli settlers have taken six times as much water as the Palestinians have to use. This last year alone the Palestinians’ water was reduced again by a third by Israel.

It is very difficult for the Palestinians to water their crops.

The numbers are completely fudged by the IDF, just like when the IDF reported that they'd cleared the north of Gaza, only to leave and a couple of days later for Hamas to begin firing rockets again, rinse and repeat for other areas too.

What Gallant can't account for are the new recruits to Hamas, according to some reports on the ground, Hamas has a lot of new recruits, mainly people who have lost everything.
I think similar to the true number of IDF casualties, the figures will be wildly different when analysed in the future.

Yes, it was @EasterIssland and thank you for posting it. Would you re-post it here for Peasfull to read? I also mentioned it in relation to the harm caused by this war to IDF soldiers themselves in another thread.

It’s a website. I believe the report the other poster is talking about is the one I posted as a thread “im bored so I shot” tho it might be a different one. They’ve reported several times IDFs actions

@ScrollingLeaves That’s really interesting, the disparity between the numbers they identified as ‘terrorists’, the numbers they claim to have killed, and the number they believe to be left, could be illuminating.

The disparity could be due to, as you say, and which wouldn’t be surprising given everything that’s been said and reported, an over estimate in the number of Hamas killed. It could also be due to an underestimate based on poor intelligence, which would be better, but still bad.

What’s a +972 report?

From Haaretz
Defense Minister Gallant told a Knesset panel that the IDF has "killed or wounded 60 percent" of Hamas' forces in Gaza, and "dismantled 25 battalions or the vast majority of them."

That is a rate of 6.6 % a month. So killing or wounding the remaining 40% could mean the IDF finishing their task in another 6 months. Another 25,000 Palestinians to be killed, mostly civilians, if the usual rate continues. That is if they are correct about 60% of Hamas dead or wounded so far.

According to IDF soldiers speaking of their experiences in a +972 report, they tend to say every male they kill is a Hamas terrorist. In one instance two separate IDF groups each individually chalked up the same Hamas kills. Over-counting deaths as Hamas deaths may be the reason why so many Hamas are apparently still fighting even after nine months of being bombed, and shot, and 38,000 thousand
bodies mounting up.

No but you brought in the suggestion ". In my house we don’t care much :) but I’m quite glad most of the goals are by footballers the far right hates.".

You then shared a story about a small group of Germans who wanted more white people in their team. The message is there intertwined why do that? What point apart from division? Isn't there enough of that already. Its all implications and comments. The German football team described it as a shitty survey. It's implications in general comments, then stories of a very small number, etc etc etc.

Nowhere did I say that most Germans were far right.

Just read the article. "television last Wednesday, has been roundly criticised for its inclusion of a poll in which 1,304 respondents were asked whether they agreed with the statement: “I would prefer it if more white players played in the German national team again.” (To which 21% agreed, 65% disagreed.)
It was, according to Germany’s coach, Julian Nagelsmann, a “shitty survey”. The vice-captain, Joshua Kimmich, described it as racist."

Some people are racist, some are fascist, some support terrorists, this assuming because 21% of a group of 1304 respondents to a survey are, means lots are, is another divisive story. So many attempts to divide society. Its a bit sad. Clearly most Germans aren't far right. Constant negative stereotyping does no-one any good.

It’s the fact that the Israeli government is paying for propaganda abroad with many of their lies what annoys me. I can’t remember any government targeting me with their ads post a terrorist attack

I know why would far right hate their footballers. Yet you find them not liking some of the ones playing for Spain or England. seems to be a problem with far right in many countries. Strange

I'm seeing ads for nicotine replacements and I don't smoke and have never goggled them. I don't consider it sinister.

I also notice how much stereotyping and assuming and making things up that some do. Why would far right hate Spanish footballers. Strange.

It happened early on after October 7th. Parents who noticed it rightly kicked up a storm on social media, I haven't heard of any ads targeting kids since then so hopefully YouTube removed them, though it wasn't the only targeting of Children in the immediate aftermath, which points to it being a rogue 3rd party company:

The thing is apart from checking times of Israel when trying to post something for here I barely read anything pro Israel. Most of my reading is twitter/ bbc / guardian and Spanish news and most of it will be pro Palestine related so really I’m not the person the Israel government is going to convince.

ps. In my house we don’t care much :) but I’m quite glad most of the goals are by footballers the far right hates.

I've never seen any ads like that. I think ads are more to do with your search history rather than the website you are on. My friend used to work in this area and it is linked to your personal algorithms. We could both be on the same web page and see different ads.

(PS my house are all cheering for Espana)

The website so it can be seen I was reading about the football match

Seems to be the day today that I’m being targeted by the Israeli government. Reading the Spanish news about the Eurocope match between Spain and France and I’m being targeted with an ad from this account as well.

in my experience I’m seeing them in the Spanish websites mainly

ps sorry for the derailment op tho I guess it’s still something related with the topic. Israel’s governments trying to influence and control the opinion with its propaganda.

Also Ms Rachel was getting bullied online for making posts that sympathised with children in Gaza. Imagine being such a psycho that you bully someone online for that.

@BelleHathor that's just not on, not every child can't read. There are plenty that can! Can the ads be reported?

@ConnieCounter and @Scirocco it's absolutely shocking and points to a failure from the YouTube team (and the 3rd party adspace selling companies they use) as well, who should have vetted the adverts as YouTube Kids is rightly meant to be severely restricted. Though I can't even imagine the thought process of the marketing team that thought serving an ad like that to Children would be a PR win.

I got this one when I was watching Ms Rachel with my baby a few months back.

Given that they've killed thousands of children they have some brass neck running that ad.

This is a news piece from 1980.

It's for those who believe it started on Oct 7.

That is awful. And so, so insensitive. Just think how many older children who can read will see those things, and how many people grieving the loss of loved ones in Palestine.

I haven't had these ads either @EasterIssland

A little bit of good news
