To think forced starvation is just plain evil!

[Farticus101]

On the BBC today. The UN has condemned using man made starvation as a war tactic. Surely we can come to a general consensus that whatever you think about the conflict, Israel's actions here are just plain evil?

This.

What a disgusting thing to say.

What's anyone trying to achieve with their posts?! It's a forum where people discuss topics.

This afternoon I made a comment stating it's not yet a famine according to what I've read...how is that extremely offensive?

@RandomWordsThrownTogethernot abroad no and that’s not what I was commenting on. The post I was responding to was about ‘clever’ Jews being anti Zionist and I pointed out that you can be pro Zionist and anti the policies of the government.

maybe the ‘random words thrown together’ need to be the right ones if you are @ me?

Interesting how the “there’s no forced starvation in Israel” brigade evade the question on where they are based and where they get their news from. In case anyone is terribly depressed and think this is a reflection of the UK have a look at this article from the Washington Post on the various pro Israel apps and how they scan for anti Israel posts and even help their users write replies https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/01/24/gaza-israel-activism-online/

Also if you think some of the straw man arguments posted here are absurd (they are fyi) has anyone seen the ridiculous statements by the Lawyers for Israel about it the food blockade increasing life spans by tackling obesity. You wonder what Universities gave them degrees - lawyers in my family instantly questioned if they are not worried about being struck off the register for bringing the profession into disrepute! Also you just have to see videos with the American settlers in the West Bank to see where actually has an obesity problem.

I'm referring to some of your posts yesterday but you know that

You see the same posts worded the same way on numerous platforms over and over. Thankfully most commenters are now aware of what they are trying to do and call them out.

How do you know, are you there?

The article is ten years old but I wonder if it still happens......

Unfortunately it is more complex than that now with AI - in some cases people write things themselves but are aided by the apps so it’s not just a simple case of copy and paste anymore - the apps also allow people look for help with particular arguments. Microsoft developed an AI too just for the IDF! There has been a lot of deliberate deflection and straw man arguments on the thread that try to swing conversations away from the real issues which makes me wonder about app use!

Yes it’s actually a lot more advanced now, they’ve approached influencers offering thousands for pro Israel content too. Oxford University did a report about countries use if technology - the section on Israel is really eye opening.

That is so true. I have noticed on Instagram/ Tik Tok a huge amount of posts from very pro Israeli accounts even though my algorithm based on accounts I am following would suggest the opposite.

The premise is the same as 10 years ago but the technology has moved on.

Yes it still happens. Hasbara trolls are everywhere.
In interests of balance, this is not unique to Israel in that I don’t know about countries but many organisations and large corporations employ rapid rebuttal units etc

Humanitarian organisations and the world’s press are all stating very clearly that “Israel is starving Gaza” and you’re accusing people on a forum of dehumanising Israeli children. And trying to take the moral high ground into the bargain! WTF.

Now I'm not denying food shortages nor am I denying that people may be suffering from malnourishment

You have denied so much on so many threads on this topic. Your user name is synonymous with the denial of Palestinian suffering.

What proof would make you happy? Cos I am really exasperated at anyone denying that these people are fucking starving to death!

there is no evidence of any hunger never mind starvation. There are all kinds of crazy lies thrown at Israel and Jews all the time. Baby killers is an old one. It’s sad but Israel has been vilified since its inception. The eternal hate towards Jews hasn’t gone anywhere and is no more rational than it ever was

I suppose it explains why the ridiculous arguments used by some people are being utilised. They'd have to be actually daft to believe them. I suppose anyone would argue 2+2=5 if they're paid enough. Money 🙄 how tacky and base. Selling their soul to the devil. Literally.

Your user name is synonymous with the denial of Palestinian suffering

How ridiculously dramatic.

I'd advise doing more training. These 'arguments' are level 1. Basic. Nobody believes them. Not even children.

What proof would make you happy?

Proof of what?

Proof of:

1. dinosaurs ever existing
2. people who ride motorbikes have kidneys
3. Palestinians are starving

🤔

Famine? Well a I understand it, a famine has not been declared...
