        The israeli “evidence” has been leaked and confirmed fake

        But journalists from Sky News reviewed the so-called dossier and reported “The Israeli intelligence documents make several claims that S**ky News has not seen proof of and many of the claims, even if true, do not directly implicate UNRWA.” **

        Britain’s Channel 4 also obtained the document** and determined it “provides no evidence** to support its explosive new claim that UNRWA staff were involved with terror attacks on Israel.” The Financial Times, which also reviewed the materials, reported there were specific allegations of direct participation in the October 7 attacks against four Palestinians employed by UNRWA, not 12 as originally asserted.

        The evidence provided by Israel alleging that roughly a dozen UNRWA staffers participated in Hamas’s October 7 terror onslaught is “highly credible,” US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Monday, as media outlets published additional details on the implicated employees, including photos from an Israeli dossier. “We haven’t had the ability to investigate [the allegations] ourselves. But they are highly, highly credible,” Blinken said during a press conference

        Being made to think about war every day for years on end is destroying my mental health. I can’t use a computer, watch TV, or go outside without it shoved down my throat. I can’t even go to sleep without having nightmares about it. I want off this fucking ride. I hate being alive so fucking much.

      It’s making all of us sick. I wish I could ignore all this too. I actually tried to, but then my government decided to step in on the world state and loudly pronounce “there is no genocide!”. And then cut humanitarian funding after the international court of justice anonymously found “credibly risk of genocide”. Which makes my country now complicit if this genocide is allowed to continue. Which makes me deeply ashamed and angry.

    Both Israel and Hamas have blood on their hands. I know we all like the whole Good vs. Bad but in an eye for eye situation, they are both wrong. People, on both sides, suffer. If the politicians would fight on the front, they would be less eager to create these situations.

      Israel is not fighting against Hamas. Israel is fighting against all Palestinians, of which only a tiny fraction is Hamas. Well or rather they are fightinf against Hamas, but they are slaughtering the other Palestinians.

      Israel is past the need to defend itself. Now they are taking the opportunity to commit genocide and displace the Palestinians from Gaza.

      That’s like blaming Jews during world war 2 for putting up resistance against their fascist rulers. It is such a mischaracterization of the situation that it is damaging to the Palestinian people.

      Lol samharris.org

      What kind of pretentious loser names an opinion blog site after himself, and bestows a “.org” at the end

      The more I read this crap the more obvious it is this bullshit article relies on lengthy annoying paragraphs that no one wants to read and a “.org” at the end to sound more official

      Myth #1: Israel is guilty of “genocide” in Gaza.

      The term “genocide” has a clear meaning—it’s the destruction or attempted destruction of a whole people.

      Yes , 95% of people starving in the world were in Gaza when Israel chose to withhold aid to them. That is the attempted destruction of a whole people

      Myth #2: International Humanitarian Law Requires that Israel’s response to Palestinian aggression be “proportional.”

      I’m as anti Israel as it gets, and I’ve never heard this argument that you’re legally bound to proportional, sounds like this author really likes the title of the blog counting up to 5.

      That said, there are tons of MORAL arguments against disproportionately killing civilians, but the only legal one that comes to mind is when Israel evacuated Gazans to a region in the south, then bombed that region with white phosphorus cbsnews.com/…/israel-hamas-war-white-phosphorous-…

      Myth #3: The Jews Are Colonizers and the Palestinians are Indigenous People.

      Not the Jews, but, the Israelis are colonizers. Biblically they were a nomadic war faring tribe. They never were a country. The west created a colony to project power in the middle east because they had no other allies there. Israel is a country in a region called Palestine. Palestinians never formed a government that resembled something the west could do business with

      In colonialism, the colony has superior technology. The middle east just industrialized, how the hell could Palestinians have been anything but natives the last few thousand years

      Myth #4: The atrocities committed by Hamas (and over one thousand Palestinian civilians) on October 7th were a legitimate response to oppression.

      Israel left Gaza in 2005—forcibly removing thousands of its own citizens—and billions of dollars in international aid have since been spent there. So the “oppression” of the Palestinians in Gaza—by Israel—is at least debatable.

      This is so fucking stupid I’m just going to leave this here. “Oppression” lmao, why the air quotes? Being born in a ghetto doesn’t count as being oppressed?

      Myth #5: The two sides in this conflict are equally civilized, equally entitled to respect, and equally worth protecting.

      I actually agree with this. You can’t compare violence between two groups when one group (Israel) is occupying the other (Palestine). The violence from Palestinians against Israel is like violence from black people to the police. It’s not good, but it’s not the same. One group is oppressed and radicalized from that, the other group is systematically oppressing the other

        Not sure why you are debating semantics here, as that statement is just straight up wrong, which can be easily confirmed by taking a single look at article 2 of the Genocide Convention (emphasis mine):

        In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such

      Here are 10 Myths of Israel (archived) by Ilan Pappe

      1. Palestine was an empty land

      2. The Jews were a people without a land

      3. Zionism is Judaism

      4. Zionism is not colonialism

      5. The Palestinians voluntarily left their homeland in 1948

      6. The June 1967 War was a war of “no choice”.

      7. Israel is the only Democracy in the Middle East

      8. The Oslo Mythologies

      9. The Gaza Mythologies

      10. The Two-State Solution is the only way forward

      This article, Examining the 10 Myths of Israel is a shorter version of the main points

      The book is too detailed to summarize each chapter on a comment, but it’s not too difficult to find independent sources to verify each of them
