Hillel Nueur, International human rights lawyer, writer, Executive Director of United Nations Watch writes: 'Never before in history has a side claimed that they suffered a genocide and at the same time that they won the war they had started.'

If you read only a handful of messages on social media today and watch the news, people in Gaza are celebrating and Hamas state they will continue (their barbarity) until Israel is eradicated. I won't repost these as anyone can find them easily.

What grates you the most? The fact your prejudices against Israelis have been exposed.

or

The realisation that you can now see the disconnection between what you think the Palestinian cause is and what Palestinians believe their cause is?

That video exposed some uncomfortable truths.

But you want to remove even the most basic expectations and responsibilities from Palestinians without questioning anything they do or say.

They don't need or want your platitude. They aren't children that need to be led by the hands of people living in the West. You're dogmatic presumptions about the Palestinian cause do it a disservice.

I didn't watch either video. I have no idea what they contain. My post is literally what it says. You berated someone for doing something and then did the exact same thing. If its wrong in your opinion to do it to Israel women unless you view Palestinians as lesser then you would think that it is wrong to do the same thing to Palestinian women. I have been extremely clear in my point, if you don't want to address what I am saying and prefer to go on a rant about Palestinians that's fine.

I think that you should abide by your own morals. If you are going to berate people for doing something, following up by doing the exact same thing invalidates any point you may have had. You could have made your point without sharing a video if you truly believed what you said in your post. Instead your post is completely meaningless at its best. At its worst it may show that you place more value on some women over others.

So you object to me re-posting a video demonising Palestinians.

Good, its a shame you did not point out the actions of immigrant101.

You remained silent.

But it appears we are in agreement. It is wrong to demonise Palestinians and Israelis.

Thank you for allowing me to reiterate;
'There isn't space for productive discussion on MN when you post this kind of content'.

Let's hope it puts an end to it for good. Don't you agree NoisyBear?

What she did to ' publicly shame those two women' was so awful that you had to go and do the same thing? Either it's wrong fullstop or it's just wrong to do it to Israeli women, your reply would seem to indicate you feel it's the latter.

There is hate on both sides what israel is doing is not making things any better as long as there is oppression and injustice groups like hamas will thrive .
When palestinians have hope for a better life then they are less likely to be supportive of hamas

immigrant101 · 22/01/2025 19:50

@GentleScroller i am publicly shaming them ? They knew they were being interviewed for social media what are you on about ?

I never said there is not hate for Israelis from palestinians in gaza of course there is, there are being thrown out of their properties and being treated appallingly .Israelis enjoy a far better life than palestinians and you to a knowledge that there is a problem with the way they think as well is not just the "evil" palestinians who want to kill jews !

LinnettdeBelleforte · 22/01/2025 19:03

Are you denying that the Palestinians (ordinary Palestinians, not just Hamas) have very ugly things to say about Israel and Israelis, or are you also asserting that this only works one way?

No. That wasn't indicated at all by my post. I'm not sure where you pulled that idea out from.

Polka83 · 22/01/2025 19:06

For me the point was that we often hear about Palestinians being indoctrinated against Israelis. Israel questions the curriculum of Palestinian schools etc

It is acknowledged less frequently that it could work both ways despite the way we see settlers behave etc.

But you are right. We should also look at what people are doing in Israel to promote peace.

Do you know what's truly astonishing?

There isn't space for productive discussion on MN when you post this kind of content.

Criticism of Israel turns into the demonisation of Israel's citizens.

You deliberately shared someone else's negative content to shame those two Israeli women publicly on MN.

You search for, interpret, favour, and recall information in a way that confirms or strengthens what you already believe about all Israeli Jews. This is called 'Confirmation Bias'.

The filters on social media platforms give you information that agrees with your beliefs and excludes opposing views.

That's why finding it on any social media platform is so easy.

Look what I found tonight on YouTube by just typing in 'What do Palestinians think of Hamas, Jews and Israel?'

Israel built the one at Al shifa as 'overflow' for the hospital apparently. Not a wine cellar. Did they provide proof that their bunker was being used by Hamas recently, I mean actual proof not a cgi video dreamt up by people with big imaginations. You will admit that they never showed any proof that their cgi animations were anything but fantasy?

By international laws ( which the Israeli government totally ignores), they have to provide concrete evidence before targeting medical facilities.
Saying that Hamas are there isn't enough, yet it is used time and time again.

Its willfull ignorance ! I do not believe they did know they do know they just do not care

@Pebblesonthebeach40 i love that when you are not in echo chamber you leave since you just want people to repeat your illusions ! Also this "you don't know enough history" line needs to be dropped people are Alot more knowledgable than you think maybe you should study history from more than one source too .

Yes I did think they may not understand the definition of an echo chamber. There aren't many posters on these threads granted but those that are here don't agree on much.

I can see no one providing justification for 7th October. It’s not Hamas propaganda to question if the Palestinians needed to suffer as they have done.

Perhaps it would help Israel if they now let in independent forensic expert and unfettered access to international journalists?

independent forensic expert and unfettered access to international journalists

the sooner they’re allowed in the sooner we can know the effect of this war and the real numbers of those death so we don’t need to relay on Hamas and / or Israel for information

Just like the other threads I have been commenting on, it has become frustratingly impossible to continue.

The lack of knowledge about the History in these parts, the fanatical denying of proven facts, the nitpicking and purposely misinterpretation is appalling.

I'm out and leaving this to become yet another echo chamber of October 7 justification and Hamas propoganda.

I hear you. Totally agree. I came back after the ceasefire agreement and it was lovely to see a range of people. I suspect they will gradually fade away. The purposeful misunderstanding of what's said on a number of threads, completely changing what was actually said and lack of understanding of history is sad to see.

I'm out too since I have better things to do with my time. These threads don't help.

What many of us are saying is that there is still proof to be shown of Hamas being in these hospitals / tunnels. There is no proof. And even if there was … destroying the hospitals and arresting/ torturing the doctors in our opinion is not proportionate and therefore they shouldn’t be attacked as many innocent lives have been taken.

Pebblesonthebeach40 · 22/01/2025 06:46

Pebblesonthebeach40 · 21/01/2025 22:06

No I didn't. Go show me where in MY POSTS, I said what you are saying I said.

Since you haven't replied I'll assume you realised that pretending someone said something, then making derogatory comments about what you think they said (someone else said it) and expecting a reply is unreasonable. It would be frankly impossible for you to find what you said I said anyway, because I didn't say it.

As is the case with many posts on these threads.

Do you write to every media outlet to ask to see their 'independent verification' for every story they publish or do you trust that they jave professional processrs in place? You're the one who trawls the internet for stories every day. do you post up your 'independent verification' for each one? I haven't noticed. This story was posted by Reuters, not a random tik tokker. If you can find someone, with independent verification to disprove it go right ahead.

Is that a yes or a no to my question? Has it been proven that Hamas was using al shifa as a military place and therefore within law to be bombed as per your previous comments?

ps. There is no need to attack me in order to justify your answers. You’re the one that has provided a link to reurters to justify the attacks in al shifa.

@SharonEllis So if you are admitting that you don’t check if something has not been independently verified, surely you wouldn’t use said source as a bastion of proof? And maybe in the past media outlets would have professional processors in place, but now in the world of clickbait, it’s easy to write salacious headlines and then issue a small retraction later when they’re caught out, but by then the story has spread.

Please talk us all through your independent verification process for every article or social media post you read from all outlets. How many corroborating pieces if evidence are required to fact check each claim in an article and how does one qualify for being a 'bastion of proof'?
