All Eyes on Rafah

I don't have the energy to be honest. I'd be here all day. Still jarring to read such nonsense though.

Don't bother. There is not point.

This post contains so much offensive and dangerous disinformation I don't even know where to start.

I am getting tired of being accused of "lapping up Hamas lies".
I have eyes. ears and a critical mind. I read sources on this conflict in French and English, from sources that are acknowledged to be reputable.
I could accuse you of "lapping the Israeli government lies and propaganda". I won't insult your intelligence though.
Could you, please, expand on who the main players are?

There is no way the location in the video of the alleged ‘massacre’ site is the same location as the hit on Deif’s compound!

Do I believe there is a lot of lying, manipulation, misinformation and propaganda going on. Yes.

Do I believe that Hamas kills and bombs its own people to blame it on Israel. Yes.

Do I believe Hamas deliberately locates legitimate targets in and among civilians. Yes.

Do I believe Hamas and Palestinian doctors and journalists like those who held civilian Israeli hostage in their own homes. No.

Shockingly there is proof of doctoring and faking videos and pictures the like of which has never seen before in any other conflict, freely available all over the internet like the one on Twitter just now of apparently a 15 year old Palestinian girl surrounded by Israeli settlers who had just shot and killed her when she had actually just stabbed an Israeli police officer in the neck, wasn’t shot and had been released from prison in 2023. Pictures was from 2015.

Where do you think term ‘Pallywood’ comes from?

If there is a choice between believing a terrorist entity capable of the atrocities of Oct 7th and the atrocities it’s perpetrated on in its own people, and the army of a democratic country, it’s a no brainer really. I just need to engage my brain. More people should try it.

I'm by no means an expert on warfare but it does seem to me that the US, for example, rack up so called "friendly fire" & "collateral damage" deaths in huge numbers all over the shop and lie determinedly about it. Maybe we just don't usually get a realistic idea of how messy war is.

I'm sure there are lots of other moving parts, too.

That IDF 'before and after' looks like something I'd knock up on PowerPoint.

I'm amazed people still "lap up" the IDF's bullshit. All they do is lie.

The IDF are so honest we have no reason to not believe them.

BBC: videos from the area show smouldering wreckage and bloodied casualties being loaded onto stretchers. People can be seen trying desperately to pick through the rubble of a large crater with their hands.

One of the doctors at a hospital dealing with the aftermath of the attack has told the BBC it is “one of the black days”.

Speaking to Newshour on the BBC World Service, Dr Mohammed Abu Rayya said the majority of cases coming in were dead, with others suffering from multiple shrapnel wounds.

He said it was like being in "hell", adding that many of the casualties were civilians, notably women and children.

Footage from the nearby Kuwait field hospital showed scenes of chaos with patients being treated on the floor.

The Nasser medical complex in Khan Younis is "overwhelmed" and no longer able to function, said British charity Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP).

But sure, everyone is lying including the BBC and a British charity. FFS!

@UnashamedSlattern If the IDF knew there were senior Hamas members plus more there, were they not able to be a bit more clinical with their approach and avoid civilian deaths?

Not what happened. Look at the aerial photographs.

It is shocking but unsurprising that the main players on these threads still lap up Hamas lies.

Never heard anything truer than "it is impossible to exaggerate the level of criminality immorality and crass, murderous stupidity that come together in the massacre Israel carried out in Al-Mawasi this morning."

Designated a "safe zone" by Israel.

Then bombed.

It goes without saying, how can this be justified. But those cries fall on deaf ears and feel utterly depressingly pointless.

1/ It is impossible to exaggerate the level of criminality, immorality and crass, murderous stupidity that come together in the massacre Israel carried out in Al-Mawasi this morning. Criminality: Israel used wildly disproportionate force assassinate two people.

Thread.

I think at this point we shouldn't expect anything less than evil or worse to happen. It's been atrocity after atrocity.

Upsetting and graphic scenes coming out of the West of Khan Younis. Also reporting over 100 killed.

Upsetting images attached but the tweet is claiming over 100 dead.

Absolutely horrific scenes coming out. My heart aches and aches for them. My brain cannot comprehend how anyone can justify this.

This was designated as safe zone by idf
