It's not about Hamas. The IDF should know who is a civilian or not. Crazy naive stuff! Prisoners are stripped so they cannot conceal weapons. It's not (Hamas) rocket science. 🙄

The stripping and blindfolding of Palestinians is a well known tactic. It's nothing new, it's a form of humiliation.

mostblobs · 08/12/2023 09:28

The usual derailing tactics appear to be back, for some reason people are upset that we choose to highlight these atrocities by the IDF and appear not to want them to be aired. Try to stay on track everyone. :)

If they've done everything humanely possible to safeguard civilian lives then why are there thousands of them being indiscriminately killed? Please shed some light on the specifics on the actions they are taking. Because to me and everyone else, there isn't any and if there are, they're not working and it's for show.

And over 6000 missing, thought to be buried under the rubble.

It's like a never ending nightmare that you can't wake up from

untitledmum · 08/12/2023 11:08

Every thread on here that is pro Israel has posters "derailing" with pro-palestinian arguments and generally the views are debated and no one is accused of derailing.
Why here as soon as someone respectfully disagrees and debates the posts are they accused of derailing? In general, that's not how MN works.

@untitledmum I can assure you the allegations of derailing are all over the threads that are "pro Israel".

no, what happens is that they’re generally slandered as anti- semites and then accused of derailing. That’s why I’ve mainly stopped posting on “pro-Israel” threads. I’m sick of the bullying and weaponisation of antisemitism to shut people up for pointing out Israeli war crimes.

I've not seen anyone accused of derailing for voicing their opinion on the subject matter. Can you direct me there?

Thankfultoyou · 08/12/2023 11:17

You're wrong @untitledmum. I completely echo what @Desertrose2023 has said. We're accused of antisemitism if anyone says anything against the war crimes being committed by Israel. Posters have rude and bullying responses when you do post to debate. There are many many many pro Israeli threads on here this has happened on. Go and have a look.

Derailing from the topic is against mn guidelines. If you’re not happy in other threads please call them out or report those comments.

this thread is about Documenting Israeli army racism and torture so any comments that are about “but hamas does” is derailing and you’ll be called out or reported.

untitledmum · 08/12/2023 11:22

I'm very pro-Israel but I'm open to hearing the views of the other side. I'm curious and would like to be educated, which I have been.

No one is expecting you to change your stance but to debate on a post especially when some are factually incorrect is considered normal MN interaction

gloriagloria · 08/12/2023 11:36

Check out the “documenting the horror that is Hamas thread” - it’s everywhere

gloriagloria · 08/12/2023 11:37

Sorry that was @untitledmum

feralunderclass · 08/12/2023 11:38

The US has said Israel needs to "bridge the gap" between its legitimate target and the number of civilians killed.

@untitledmum would you please hilight the things that have been factually incorrect. As I am unaware of Any right now on this thread.

jammysocks · 08/12/2023 12:00

Also. Most of the posts that you describe as pro israelis coming on this thread to disagree and debate. They do not debate but either just say you are wrong. Or say but hamas, or say but Oct 7th.

These are not debates nor are they arguments.
Genuine debate and genuine arguments are always welcome.

Independent article part 2

PeasfullPerson · 08/12/2023 12:21

Gaza seems to no longer resemble an open air prison, it’s more like a real life simulation of ‘The Hunger Games’. I fear for all the unaccompanied children.

‘Civil order is breaking down in Gaza’Thomas White, the director of UNRWA Affairs in Gaza, says that “civil order is breaking down” in the besieged enclave.
“The streets feel wild, particularly after dark – some aid convoys are being looted and UN vehicles stoned. Society is on the brink of full-blown collapse,” White said on X.

It's literally the city of death and despair now @PeasfullPerson

It’s horrific. I hate the sanitised way that this is talked about by certain governments and media. I am interested to see what the UN say later.
