The images coming through on news channels are horrific.

@Redlarge that's what's confusing me though. I mean clearly people are getting killed in large numbers by the airstrikes and I'm not disputing that. But this guy is an actor who has cropped up repeatedly, it should be okay to point that out as it is factual.

Its not 'factual'.

It's the same man.

Was it an Egyptian ambulance?
Don’t get me wrong, it horrible nonetheless, it’s just that Egypt said if Israel were to attack any of their ambulances / aid, it would be seen as an attack on Egypt.

It’s awful, and sadly what Israelis are known to do.

Ah. And Palestinians are known to murder women and children in their beds are they?

I do not excuse either side their actions, but there is no evidence that ambulances have been targetted. In a war, and this is war, precision bombing etc is not always possible. After all, poeple have been known to hit their own troops in war, and I doubt anyone was targetting them.

Everything about this war is awful. Wars are awful. But no side has the moral high ground here. If Hamas want to have all out war with all Jews and obliterate the state of Israel (which is what they have clearly said, and I doubt they meant they intended to tickle them to death) then they should have the guts to stop hiding behind their own people. They want a fight? Get out there in the open, and take on the "enemy" - armed troops not women, children and festival goers. Funny how they talk big and hide behind the skirts of women and children when someone their own size appears.

If it is then what an idiot
As if there isn't enough bloodshed
As can be seen by the video it is beyond horrific
😭😭😭

I'm sure you'll have no problem linking some videos of this "actor"?

That's what I don't get as the video is awful and there is clearly footage in there which is very real and I'm not disputing.

If it is the same man maybe he’s some kind of unofficial journalist - as i expect they may be struggling at bit at the moment and he’s trying to expose what is happening?

There is no timeline on the videos. Only the posters word that one is yesterday and one is today.

Perhaps he's just a civilian who has decided to document Israel's war crimes.

Who cares. Its likely propoganda. You literally posted earlier on this thread and said that you saw stuff on X 'so its not verified'.

Yes war is horrific but it does not mean innocent civilians can be targeted and killed. There are laws in war and if you break them you are committing war crimes which Israel (and Hamas) are

NotTerfNorCis · 03/11/2023 17:25

Before we go any further. There IS a man going about filming himself, or getting others to film him, pretending to be in roles he isn't. He even picks up injured babies and pretends to be their father. (The real father could have been killed in the same Israeli attack!) It's very clear he's doing it for himself, he's fame hungry and a narcissist. We have loads of similar specimens in the West - the only difference is, he happens to be in a war zone.

In one video, he's pretending to be Israeli. There's no way this is Hamas propaganda - if it was, it'd be the most self-defeating propaganda ever.

There's absolute chaos in Al shifa hospital
The surgeons and staff must be traumatised by what they witness everyday yet still continue

I wouldnt have thought it was Hamas propaganda. More likely people trying to portray news reports of dead bodies etc as fake if that makes sense. Discrediting them.
So yes he is self defeating if he does exist and thats what hes doing.

Weddingpuzzle · 03/11/2023 17:29

That is CRAZY if that's what he is doing. Like I said there's enough real grief and horror. Though Hamas hardly seem the bastions of sanity and moral clarity, so if that's what he's up to it could be that they are sending people out into the abyss as state actors. I'd be surprised if Hamas have the capacity to do that though as they must have, at best, 20,000 people left (they started off with 25k members and it's estimated they've lost about 5k, 1500 on October 7th and 3500 in fighting/airstrikes). I'm not even sure if it's as simple as Hamas versus IDF now. I'm pretty sure there'll be other nations who've implanted people into Gaza.

Tbh there seem to be zero rules and anything could be going on, or he could just be a crackers citizen who is grief touring and inserting himself here, there and everywhere IF it's true.

HeidiInTheBigCity · 03/11/2023 17:36

For the record:

Tomorrow, it is not only going to be me and my "political" friends at the marches!

It is going to be my disabled mum and three of her friends, too!

It is going to be my sister, who has so far been to afraid to come because she feared getting sanctioned at work, too - and six of her friends!

It is going to be my Palestinian ex-husband, who has been so scared to expose himself that he has not even dared to say the "P"-word out loud so far!

It is, literally, going to be my boss at this point! And his wife and sons!

that man had his leg amputated back in August ,
his name is Mohammed Zendiq, he lost his leg after an attack by the Israeli forces on a refugee camp on July 24.
the other blogger is named Saleh.

petuniasandpetals · 03/11/2023 17:44

If you are horrified by this footage I suggest you watch the Israeli website with details of the massacre carried out on October 7th.
And ...do we even know who hit the ambulance?
NB. I've seen that guy on numerous videos.

Growlybear83 · 03/11/2023 17:45

After each new horror, I think the Israelis can't do anything more terrible, but once again I've been proved wrong. When is someone going to do something to stop them?

Why is it so difficult to understand people are horrified by the harm done to both Israeli and Palestinian civilians?

Who do you think hit the ambulance? Barbie and Ken?

I quoted the wording a reputable news agency used.

It was a convoy of ambulances that was targeted. There is no justification for this attack. None.

There was no fucking justification for what happened on October 7th yet some apologists for terrorism seem to have completely forgotten that.

Yes he’s probably one of these would - be social media celebrities rather than an actor. The devastation he was filming looked real enough anyway.
