So are MSF wrong about Gaza too?

I have read multiple posts both on here and on the CITME forum- and I am aware how toxic the debate is.

But surely when Legitimate and highly respected international NGO talks of ‘orchestrated killing and dehuminisation”, then it starts to become utterly undeniable?

I am sure someone will be along to tell me otherwise. I also note that Netenyahu has ordered a full occupation of Gaza city today.

“Médecins Sans Frontières calls for immediate closure of Gaza Humanitarian Foundation
The medical NGO Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has called for the immediate closure of Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), the US- and Israeli-backed aid organisation operating in Gaza, describing GHF-run food distribution sites in Gaza as having become sites of “orchestrated killing and dehumanisation”.
In a social media post on Thursday, MSF wrote:
“In MSF’s nearly 54 years of operations, rarely have we seen such levels of systematic violence against unarmed civilians.”
The GHF-run food distributions in Gaza, Palestine, have become sites of “orchestrated killing and dehumanisation”, not humanitarian aid.
In a new report, MSF analysed medical data, patients’ testimonies and first-hand medical witnesses at two MSF clinics in Gaza and found that it “point[ed] to both targeted and indiscriminate violence by Israeli forces and private American contractors against starved Palestinians” at food distribution sites run by the GHF”

No this just isn't accurate. Fatah renounced armed resistance in 1993. An Israeli assassinated Yitzhak Rabin because he came close to offering the Palestinians a fair deal in exchange. no Israeli leader has either wanted or dared to offer a fair deal to the Palestinians since that's no accident. Hamas wasn't voted in til 2006, 13 years after Fatah laid down arms, 13 years in which Israeli settlers stole land at an exponential rate, killed burned stolen poisoned livestock etc. 13 years of schoolchildren being shot dead by the IDF. 13 years of violent Apartheid (as per the UN, ICJ, Amnesty, HRW). 13 years of Palestinians being randomly seized and locked up including children, Israel being the only country to try children in military jails, and the conviction rate is over 98%. Many are held in administrative detention i.e. no evidence no trial. See UNICEF report child detainees OPT 2013 which makes clear that the practice has been ongoing for decades.

Israel is not interested in peace, they want the whole of the West Bank and the Gaza strip. If you disagree with that statement please show me evidence since Rabin of a good-faith move from Israel. (Withdrawal of settlements from Gaza but keeping a strangling blockade by land sea and air is NOT good faith.)

Israel drove Palestinians into the arms of Hamas. Just like the viciousness of the white Apartheid regime in South Africa drove the impoverished black population into more violent groups.

More one siding it. No mention of the violence Palestinians carried out against Israeli civilians?

Israel drove Palestinians into the arms of Hamas? More infantilization of Palestinians. What about the choices made by Palestinian leadership? What about the constant lack of support from other Arab nations?

One siding it like this is so unhelpful, can't you see that? It deepens divisions and plays into the hands of extremists.

Must have been hiding in all of these ones.

As if!🙄

Netenyahu was able to target Hezbollah with bombed chargers. He launched targeted assassinations on Iran's nuclear scientists.

Yet he couldn't target and assassinate the Hamas leaders in Gaza without blanket bombing, starvation and genocide?🤯

The genocide in Gaza is what Netenyahu wants. The man's a psychopath. He doesn't give a shit about Israelis. He doesn't give a shit about Jews or Judaism.

I completely agree. He couldn't give a shit about the hostages either. He welcomed the far right fascist nutters Smotrich and Ben-Gvir into his government to keep him in power and out of jail for corruption. Those two psychopaths are the cheerleaders for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank.

That should read bombed pagers rather than chargers.

Israel has the means to completely destroy Palestine and kill everyone there. Hamas has the means to commit horrific terrorist acts but does not have the means to completely destroy Israel. It's an uneven contest.

Hamas knows it cant destroy Israel, but Netenyahu can. And he is.

Is Israel destroyed? No. If Israel were completely destroyed by Hamas, how would you feel if i said 'well did Israel want Gaza to remain intact?'

The only reason Israel isn't destroyed, is because they won't roll over. A threat, that is centuries old, isn't going to go away. From the river to the sea Palestine will be free - remember. * *

Good job Israel is somewhat independent - they developed their infrastructure, while their enemy didn't- just dug tunnels and bought weapons. Their rich benefactor, of course knew where most of their money was going.

Oh the irony. Most of the infrastructure Palestinians have managed to build is in ruins now. The last thing Israel wants is a successful thriving Palestine next door.

Dont you think its conceivable that Israel would prefer a Palestinian nation next door focused on its own nation building and future for its own people, rather than just constantly trying to destroy Israel and turn the clock back to 1920?

Maybe not continuing centuries of hate and intolerance for another religion, would have saved all this.

Maybe an Israeli not assassinating the one Prime Minister who came to an agreement with the PLO would have helped too. There is hate and extremism on both sides.

Never ... and I used to live in Stamford Hill in London for a few years which is apparently the largest Hasidic community in Europe.

Never any trouble whatsoever. The only negative thing I ever thought about them was that they didn't mix in the wider community but kept themselves to themselves. Completely peaceful group to live alongside, though.

From NGO Monitor:

  • MSF consistently abuses its status as a humanitarian organization to launch venomous anti-Israel political campaigns.
  • In March 2024, MSF Canada’s treasurer Bryon Sonberg resigned claiming MSF “claims to be independent, neutral and impartial” are “untrue.” He expressed concerns that “MSF Canada failed to condemn October 7 or correct false statements on social media about the conflict.” According to Sonberg, “When I asked about MSF’s silence about the October 7 Hamas attacks, I was told that MSF only comments on what it witnesses; as MSF did not witness the attacks or their effects, they could not comment on them.”
  • In December 2023, former MSF Secretary General Alain Destexhe published a report titled “Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières), an Accomplice of Hamas?” According to Destexhe, “The communication of the Nobel Peace Prize laureate and its employees on the ground since 7 October shows a systematic bias in favour of Hamas and hostility to Israel. Doctors Without Borders has failed in its humanitarian purpose and violated its own charter, which proclaims the impartiality, neutrality and independence of the organization with regard to any political or religious power…Despite being subject to the MSF Charter, a significant proportion of its staff seem to share the Hamas point of view and support the terrorist attacks of 7 October…The proximity between some MSF staff and Hamas raises questions about possible links between MSF in Gaza and extremist groups

Weren’t you the poster who was SO proud of the fact her Rabbi's son had gone over to fight on behalf of the IDF? Hope the images of the dead children and women he killed haunt him for the rest of his life.

Unfortunately there are some politicians with extreme right wing views within the current Israel government, but they don't represent the whole government and anyway, the government is unpopular with Israelis and very likely to get voted out at the next election.

I would also classify the Settlers as extremist - but they do not represent the typical Israeli.

Most countries have some people with extremist views and some extreme right wing politicians. Certainly the UK does.

Hate and extremists on both sides I can agree with. But the hatred Hamas have towards Israel and Jews is different and can't be swept under the carpet. They literally want to destroy the country and all its people and it's only the lack of military strength that prevents it doing so.
