@Dulra Yes, it is the 5th time. Shocking isn't it.

Over 70% of UN schools in Gaza have been bombed atleast once since the start of the war.

Well, this is the 5th time the same school has been bombed in the last 11 months so maybe they just recycle the 'intelligence'

The Israeli envoy to the UN is really sad that they won't be left alone to bomb schools in peace, and are now facing criticism for it.

Is that true? I am constantly staggered with how inept the IDF appear to be, they just seem to have to constantly backtrack on what they have done, why can't they secure sites? or do they enjoy moving people backwards and forwards constantly

Well done to the IDF for finding yet another "command centre" and the UN workers. Great job.

Of course it was a precise strike on terrorists (how many l?) in a command and control centre.

How did they know the terrorists were there but not know the UN workers were there?

No doubt they will soon say that the UN workers were all Hamas too.

A new day is another chance to bomb a school. What number are we on now? Or have we stopped counting
6 UN staff were also killed in no doubt this 'precise strike'

Hi everyone,
A word of warning, please, if you wish this thread to continue we would suggest backing away from these personal interactions and sticking to the topic at hand.

BelleHathor · 11/09/2024 12:25

I have come to the conclusion that it's best to ignore inflammatory posts. After 11 months it's a known tactic designed to emotionally harm and waste your time arguing back and forth.
Wish them well and try not to engage.
The most important thing is that No, not enough has been done to tackle incitement to Genocide, let's centre the people being actively destroyed right now.
I mean why would a government need to pressure Senators to pressure South Africa to drop their ICJ case?

And I did clearly say what I mean

What is clear in the statement below?
However, the amount of projection and accusation going on here are truly disproportionate responses to what has actually been said.

You have accused posters of projection and accusation and disproportionate responses. You haven't actually demonstrated the posts you are referreing to so I will take that to mean you haven't anything specific it is a general feeling and opinion you have about some posts, an opinion that is all, so your post is just hyperbole

whataclownshow · 11/09/2024 00:58

She hasn't made a baseless allegation.

And I did clearly say what I mean so that kind of demonstrates my point about not bothering to read posts properly in the rush to make sweeping accusatory statements.

Lalaloveya · 11/09/2024 00:51

It is your issue if you're going to make accusations and then refuse to offer further detail. It's pointless. Either say what you mean or don't bother with vague posts making baseless allegations about other people.

Please feel free to stop quoting me and making the same exaggerated allegation and demand repeatedly if the responses are not to your satisfaction.

That's your choice. Doesn't mean others aren't going to reasonably expect some detail when you make sweeping accusatory statements.

Most of the posters here could do with taking that advice tbh.

It should be possible to have a discussion without demonising other posters and conferring an imaginary (and offensive) moral stance upon them based on a deliberate misinterpretation of their posts.

I'm not asking anyone to back up their charge that a poster criticising Hamas' abhorrent strategy of maximising civilian deaths and injuries is therefore defending the bombing of civilians in humanitarian safe zones because
a) that accusation is completely batshit and intended to provoke so I can choose not to engage with the goad.
and
b) moral judgement and condemnation tend to be the primary objectives of so many of these threads, regardless of what someone actually said, that no-one could be bothered to read properly before making their one-sided assumptions. Sadly, I suspect that won't change.

Maybe you shouldn't make charges against other posters if you aren't willing to back them up.

She was wondering if it was real. I wondered too. ( I don’t know if it is or isn’t but felt suspicious.)

As Hamas terrorists would know they are IDF targets, they might be wary of someone in the tent they want to take over as a command and control centre filming them. Even in the dark their voices could end up on an IDF data base.

But I can believe that Gazan civilians would panic if fighters come among them.

I think I may have had crossed wires. I was referring to a video someone posted of men telling a woman to get out of a tent and her saying they were putting them all in danger, all overlaid with frightening red capital letters - I thought it might really have been fake.

but Zzippit · Today 15:02 may not have been referring to that.

Interesting that you view the voices and experiences of Gazan civilians as propaganda when they’re crittical of Hamas.
