Do we actually know the truth or are we just blindly believing terrorist media spins because we hate Israel?
We might know more of the truth if Israel didn’t systematically target journalists.
Unlike hamas?
Because we hate Israel? No. Because it’s precisely the kind of thing Israel does all the time? Yeah, pretty much. If Hamas tells your fire is hot, are you not gonna believe them?
Nice logical fallacy. Are you saying if Israel claims something hamas does all the time it is automatically true as well?
Would you don’t be if I said I ate breakfast today? When people claim something happened that happens all the time, it’s common to believe them, yes. That’s common sense, not a fallacy.
But that’s exactly not what is happening. lol Anything that Israel claims is being dismissed as false, anything that hamas is saying is being taking at face value. That’s the base level here.
This is the article in question, as you can see from the url structure it has the original headline. The article has been continually updated since press yesterday (including three hours ago) and appears to have changed a few times according to others / records at archive.org.
I didn’t question the edits themselves, that happens all the time in media. But the first statements seem to been made by word released from hamas, and that’s “facts” and numbers you cannot trust inherently by the fact that they’re a terrorist organization. What I’m questioning is the entire meme format that seems to just been here to push an anti Israel agenda. I don’t mind shitting on Israel for shit they do, but that does not mean I’m going to just eat up hamas propaganda. Memes like this are a huge part in foreign propaganda to discredit western news sources.
What’s funny is that i interpreted the changes shown in the meme as making it softer on Israel. First edit removes the reference to the school, second edit changes the number of people killed from a big number “over 100” to a fuzzy amount “scores” that is easier to underestimate.
It’s since added that information back in, but in the meme it looks like it’s trying to make Israel look as not-bad as possible.
The numbers supplied by Hamas have been pretty accurate in the past, according to multiple UN investigations. There’s simply no reason for them to exaggerate the numbers, since they are already atrocious enough.
BTW: back in December, the IDF itself released reports saying that about two thirds of the dead are civilians/not Hamas.
You can spin it like you want, what Israel is doing over there is not okay. Simple as that.
Even if true (citation needed, not that I’d trust the defunct UN anyway with China & Russia sitting on the table), that would still not give credibility to hamas or the narrative the meme tries to push.
You’re moving goal posts.
lol, no. I’m literally iterating on the point I’m trying to make here. You’re just proving my initial point of eating up hamas propaganda.
Nope.
You first doubted Hamas, when I mentioned, that the UN agreed generally, you say, the UN is also not a good source, without any proof of that.
The fact about the IDF was completely dropped by you, because it doesn’t fit your bill.
BTW: do you have any Israeli sources? If Israel would doubt Hamas’ numbers, they might issue their own reports. But they don’t. Well that’s weird, isn’t it? But the IDF probably is also just an anti Israel agent.
By June 19, 2024, 37,396 people had been killed in the Gaza Strip since the attack by Hamas and the Israeli invasion in October, 2023, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, as reported by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. The Ministry’s figures have been contested by the Israeli authorities, although they have been accepted as accurate by Israeli intelligence services, the UN, and WHO. These data are supported by independent analyses, comparing changes in the number of deaths of UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) staff with those reported by the Ministry, which found claims of data fabrication implausible.
The current headline is “Israeli strike kills nearly 100 in Gaza school refuge, officials say”.
Yeah, OP loves tinfoil.
The last edit on the Reuters article is August 11.
