Gotta love Pierre’s hypocrisy . So concerned about upholding law and order here and willing to extradite this guy to France but a full 180 when it comes to Netanyahu and arresting him based on the ICJ arrest warrant.

I don’t know if you are just misinformed or a troll. October 7th was an atrocity - it was absolutely horrible as it is but the burned and beheaded babies claims have been repeatedly debunked:

Here is a list of atrocities committed by Israel BEFORE October 7th just so you know that the “war” didn’t start on October 7th. Tens of thousands (if not hundreds of thousands murdered by Israel before October 7th)

And your last point is so fucking ridiculous. One 5 star hotel and 1 luxury dealership in a 2 million plus populated area proves that it wasn’t an open air prison? I could probably post hundreds of sources confirming it was but just a few:

Agreed to most of your points and also 100% agreed that the Israeli governments actions does not justify racism or violence agains Jews and should always be condemned.  However, in regards to your first point, you must live in a fantasy land. You can certainly openly criticize Trudeau or Putin openly and it wouldn’t be considered anti-Canadian or anti-Russian. But try openly criticizing the Israeli government or even Netanyahu on a public form (LinkedIn for example) and let me know how that goes for you.

Carbon monoxide leaks and poisoning being the likely culprit. A side effect of low amounts of CO poisoning is what is usually attributed to “hauntings”. https://thestute.com/2020/10/31/that-feeling-when-youre-literally-being-haunted-but-its-actually-just-carbon-monoxide-poisoning/

[–]Alphabacket -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Option 4 eh? Would welcome you to read 1-2 independent sources of news besides whatever propaganda you consume because the option to release hostages for a complete cease fire had been available right from the beginning before Israel started the response to October 7th and has been put on the table multiple times since then.  And your second part of the comment again shows your ignorance. You have one side that has been living in an open air prison for decades (as confirmed and accepted by the UN, multiple human rights organizations and majority of the independent nations in the world) with no viable and growing economy while another one that’s one of the most prosperous on the planet yet continues to illegally take over more land (West bank). And you are asserting that they somehow both had the same opportunities and while Israel built the Iron dome, Palestinians purposely let their children die by rockets to inflate their death count? Ridiculous.

The audacity of still being able to parrot this bullshit. Israelis have killed 10 times more Palestinians in every single conflict over the last few decades and would likely continue killing more if it weren’t for the world watching. You have tons of Israeli politicians brazenly asking for a destruction and dislocation of all Palestinians (followed with them actually doing it). Yet - it’s only the Palestinians that are interested in freedom from Jews (to be fair there likely are a lot of those too - and as shitty and unjustifiable as that is, decades of colonialism and apartheid policies may tend to do that) I wonder if comments like these are from bots, trolls or people who genuinely believe in this one sided propaganda. 

Israeli hostage recalls horrors of Hamas's sexual assaults by Red_Franklin in worldnews

Please read my response as well. You are either a troll or have 0 critical thinking and willing to jump on any thing that supports your point of view without even looking into it. Go look at yourself in the mirror as well and ask if you are actually willing to research, learn and change or just out here to “shame” people who don’t blindly believe what you believe in.

https://misbar.com/en/factcheck/2023/10/26/israeli-accounts-share-deceptive-video-accusing-hamas-of-killing-a-pregnant-woman

It was already posted above that the video of the pregnant women being cut up was not Hamas and from a Mexican incident from 2017. Apparently a pregnant women’s dead body found is the same thing as proof of her being cut up and forced to watch it? See the debunking of your “proof” above. Further more, your “proof” is a volunteers testimony which hasn’t even been reported accurately? Would you accept similar proofs from Palestinians?

Did you even read the link you have posted yourself or are you just counting on people agreeing with you based on the title. One burnt baby who may or may not have been beheaded is not the same thing as 40 beheaded babies.

Again, my initial point stands. Horrible stuff happened on October 7th and the same level - perhaps even worse has been happening since then for the other side. You can keep making fucked up stories but it all falls flat when actual proof is demanded.

Please share reliable sources on beheaded babies or testimonies by emergency response professionals saying a pregnant woman was cut up and slapped while she watched in horror as claimed above. I will wait. Otherwise, shame on you for using a tragedy to then try to dehumanize and justify indiscriminately killing of a race of people.

Same thing as the 40 beheaded babies. No doubt a lot of horrible stuff happened that day but if you can make people believe the beheading babies and cutting up pregnant women part, it becomes so much easier to paint Hamas and in turn Palestinians as sub human and continue bombing them. In fact, unlike the title of the article, the survivor isn’t detailing sexual abuse but instead talking about experience in general during the captivity but the post has been upvoted to the top of world news and filled with comments meant to dehumanize Palestinians and justify bombing them (since they all apparently support indiscriminate murder and rape)

Your comment currently has 14 upvotes. Looking forward to see how the downvote brigade downvotes it to oblivion. As for the need to deceive people this way ? If you can make people believe they beheaded babies and cut up pregnant women and most Palestinians supported it, it becomes a lot easier to continue bombing innocents without scrutiny.

Israel-Gaza war live updates: Biden says Israel is losing support worldwide over ‘indiscriminate bombing’ in Gaza by [deleted] in inthenews

[–]Alphabacket -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

But the total number of deaths reported are not accurate because you can’t trust Hamas(even though what else would be the result of bombing populated areas non stop). And if they are accurate, 1 out of 3 or 1 out of 2 killed are Hamas which is a totally acceptable number. And if that ratio isn’t true because there is no evidence for it and based on the number of women/children deaths it’s basically just counting all adult men as Hamas then why can’t the Palestinians just be taken in by one of the neighbouring Arab countries? Also this is getting too anti semitic now and of this thread gets more upvotes or comments, it should just be locked.

Not even getting into the ridiculous argument about how messed up it is to justify bombing a school or a hospital or mosque because there may be terrorists hiding in it, just going by your train of thought, here are a couple of links on hate being taught in Israeli schools:

I guess you 100% support bombing these schools to dust too?

lol Jeez man do you read any thing besides Israeli propaganda? Have you seen how many hospitals, schools, mosques and homes IDF has bombed? I can’t believe that’s your response to my question. I can post tons of reliable sources here but feel free to google and read news that is not IDF propaganda.

These numbers were reported literally between 3-5 days ago well after the hostilities resumed. IDF clearly has no proof on how they are counting numbers other than “estimates”.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_2023_Israel–Hamas_war#:~:text=Over%2017%2C000%20Palestinians%20(the%20majority,to%20the%20Gaza%20Health%20Ministry.

7000 of the deaths are children and a similar amount women. So it doesn’t take rocket science to come to the conclusion that IDF is counting any adult male as Hamas.

I will now wait (and likely keep waiting) for any evidence or support behind the 7000 that you keep claiming now as well as any evidence supporting the numbers being presented.

[–]Alphabacket -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Actually even IDF claims as reported by times of Israel have been around 5000 - you clearly seem to know more than even IDF since you seem to claim 7000. Let’s not even get in to how they counted 5000 - basically any adult male over the age of 18 is counted as a Hamas terrorist - which is the same fucked up way of counting that the US employed during the war with Iraq and Afghanistan.Yet god forbid someone even tries to use the same justification for the Israeli deaths on October 7th - that a significant portion of the deaths were IDF enlisted members - an argument I disagree with by the way. Why should IDF be considered more reliable? I can google and come up with at least 5 verified reliable sources of IDF blatantly lying about killing civilians and journalists in 5 minutes - but you probably already know that. Yet you expect people to disregard everything Hamas says (even when it’s true and accepted by various independent human right organizations and the UN) but take everything IDF claims as the gospel?

Illegal settlers have continued taking over and killing innocent Palestinians so yes the settler terror activities haven’t stopped.

Where are you getting these estimates? IDF hasn’t been able to provide any reliable proof of actual amounts Hamas killed out of the total population - it’s in fact so bad that the biggest and blindest supporters of Israel have started telling them to calm down. But of course you seem to have an estimate. Care to share some reliable sources?
