Now it is a drama about how the Israeli security services deal with the conflict but it is apparently pretty accurate and is amazingly well produced and acted.

Season 5, which covers Oct 7th has just come out after a long delay.

I've had to take a break after episode 7 because it's so distressing but it still doesn't even come close to what happened that day.

I think it's gives a clearer idea as to the truth of what has been going on and it does try to give a perspective from both sides.

I think every pro-Palestinian should watch it.

AIBU?

Are you calling @Bones101 a liar?

Btw @Bones101‘s post is not an appeal to authority. It is sharing their own experience. I would have thought the difference is fairly obvious.

No he's basically saying "trust me bro!". He's not "sharing his experiences" he's making unsubstantiated, unevidenced claims in an attempt to shut down discussion.

Its known as Anecdote Fallacy.

Yes, so this one video is millions now? You have a very strange definition of "millions" is all I can say.

And I raise you this: I daren't share any images from this site but they can be found clicking the link. Warning: I hope you haven't eaten recently.

https://www.hamas-massacre.net/

@Cricketduckout was asked to link one video so linked one video. That doesn’t imply @Cricketduckout thinks one video is millions. The fact that one video has been linked does not prove that others do not exist. HTH.

@Cricketduckout is not denying the horror of the October 7 massacre, you are denying atrocities by the IDF.

No-one on this thread has expressed anything but horror at the massacre on October 7th. No-one has denied the murders, rapes, deliberate humiliation and dehumanising treatment of hundreds of Israelis by Palestinians on that day.

But what is very clear is that there are several people on this thread, including you, who are denying or excusing or downplaying or justifying the scale of killings in the tens of thousands, the murders, rapes, deliberate humiliation and dehumanising treatment of Palestinians by Israelis.

"One video exists therefore millions of others must exist too". That's not how you do evidence, love.

That's literally "its true because I say its true". The very fact we have far more actual evidence and records of Hamas atrocities on October 7th then alleged Israeli atrocities says it all.

Your response is unclear. Either you think @Bones101 is lying or you don’t. Which is it?

Are Israelis allowed to talk about their experiences or will that get a “trust me bro” from you too?

I saw no attempt to shut down discussion. A lot of accusing others of what you are doing yourself going on, isn’t there?

It wasn't "hundreds of Israelis" . It was thousands. 1200 people were murdered. Not 200. By giving an incorrect figure you are literally minimising.

Your argument is based on emotion: "You are a bad person if you don't believe this claim I make that has no evidence"

Our argument has a wealth of evidence to back it up.

Citing suppose "personal experiences" in lieu of actual evidence is the problem @FeeFiFoFiddlyFum

Not one of the Pro-Pally types has actually been able to produce a single shred of evidence for the deliberate targeting and killing of children by the IDF for example. Which is significant since this claim is regularly used to justify violence against Israelis

"Genocide" is a term being thrown around far too casually now and its losing all meaning. This isn't a good thing. "Genocide" specifically means targeting a group of people for extermination on the basis of their race, ethnicity, or religion. Gaza isn't a "genocide"- its a war.

But October 7th? That was genocide- Hamas killed those people for being Jews. They said that's what they wanted to do beforehand. Its what their clerics talk about month after month. Exterminating Jews.

UN Surveys recently concluded the rate of child malnutrition in Gaza is actually lower than several European countries.

No, thousands would be two or more thousands.

Hunfereds does not mean 200. You’re really stretching to try to imply that. Hundreds is anything up to thousands ie up to but under 2000.

I am not minimising that 1200 were horribly murdered, I am using correct English usage.

"Without military necessity" is the cincher here. Its well known Hamas embed themselves in civilian infrastructure. So it may well have been military necessity in these cases.

Please be accurate, it is alleged Hamas embed themselves in civilian infrastructure.

Also, when a section of a city becomes a battlefield both sides can use civilian buildings while fighting. Once one side wins and pushes the other out, it is forbidden by international law for the occupier to then destroy civilian infrastructure. It is meant to be preserved.

EnglishLady02 · 14/09/2026 08:17

Easily countered. My screenshots show Hamas figures revealing a high number of combatants killed, Israel sending more than a million vaccines into Gaza and giving evacuation warnings before military action.

"Scholars" aren't qualified to determine what is or isn't genocide BTW. Only the ICC can do that.

And the IDF lodge themselves in civilian infrastructure too. The Kirya, IDF HQ seen blurred in the map here is in downtown Tel Aviv surrounded by civilian infrastructure. Which is why Iranian weapons fell in the city centre.

> Some have already taken cases to the International Criminal Court (ICC). In October, Dutch lawyer Harun Reda filed a complaint to the ICC against 1,000 Israeli soldiers accusing them of war crimes in Gaza.

His "case" got basically laughed out of court. In fact every single one of the court cases has failed so far. Lack of evidence or just... not credible.

> Video after video captures soldiers gleefully detonating homes, schools and places of worship – acts that violate both the Geneva Conventions and The Hague Regulations.

Its only a war crime if there's people in the building. And since its known Hamas embed themselves in civilian infrastructure it is "military necessity".

But this one is my personal favourite:

> An Israeli soldier detonates a mine-clearing line charge in a village in the Juhor ad-Dik area, northern Gaza.

Yes... that's not a war crime. Why were there Anti Personel mines in a village in the first place?

> Chaim Malespin, an American expatriate and founder and director of pro-settlement group, the Aliyah Return Center, dedicates an explosion to fallen soldiers and "for Purim" (a Jewish holiday).

Yeah. Also not illegal. No different to a soldier writing "for Saddam" on a missile.

And they're all like this. Blurry images of explosions, random. No context.

Actually Dutch lawyer Harun Reda’s 482page filing not including the dossier of evidence was not “laughed out of court”

The status is as follows:
The submission is a communication under Article 15 of the Rome Statute. It is under evaluation or preliminary review by the ICC Office of the Prosecutor. The ICC has not formally opened a specific case, indicted individuals, or reached a decision based on this filing.

Just want to make you aware that the wheels of justice in the ICC and ICJ move very slowly.
