In the meantime: Israel claims a tunnel ran through this Gaza cemetery it destroyed. A visit to the site raised more questions than answers. Or if you prefer video: IDF says they destroyed this Gaza graveyard because of Hamas activity. CNN can’t find the evidence.
Hmm, who to believe, who to believe: the genocidal maniacs determined to destroy every trace or hope of Palestinian life in Gaza, or the non-aligned journalists to whom Israel is repeatedly making claims that they refuse to provide evidence for or which are shown to be outright lies - I just can’t decide!
Still, the main problem here is that they bombed a cemetery and think there’s a justification.
I would actually prefer they bomb cemeteries instead of hospitals and schools, but I understand why people would be upset about it.
I love how the (propaganda) title says “accused of desecrating”. They DID desecrate it, they’re just fishing around for a justification.

Just another rightwing Islamaphobic website
Not just that. They are sourcing this from the Jewish News Syndicate.
https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/jewish-news-syndicate-jns/
Overall, We rate the Jewish News Syndicate as Right-Center biased based on its editorial position in support of the Israeli government. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to poor sourcing techniques and the promotion of one-sided propaganda.
National Post, like Canada’s other far right newspaper, the Globe and Mail, can be safely ignored as right wing corporate propaganda.
As can everything in Global News and CTV News.
The Globe is most definitely not far right.
They supported Harper and support Polievre.
You know, both part of the previous government that fought AGAINST abortion rights
The IDF didn’t find shit. Nothing they say is credible anymore.
this is an office?? This looks like an unfinished basement.
There was no recliner and Ottoman from which to comfortably launch my intifada, I’m giving it two stars on HamasBNB.
(Image caption says that’s a tunnel, not sure if that’s the office part.)
Haven’t they also claimed that there’s a command center under Al Shifa Hospital? The one they have captured two months ago? They’ve been awfully quiet about that one. I haven’t heard them say one thing about this supposed command center since they captured it. No proof. Why would it be different this time?
Hamas has no limits, no respect to no one, even for the dead.
Trying to calculate if there would be any media apology. So far I’m stuck at slim to none.
Never take Hamas propaganda at face value
What about Israeli propaganda?
i guess Palestinian propaganda is more valid than israeli one…?
i don’t know who to trust anymore tbh, this war has weaponized sympathy to the point i do not know who should i give it to
The thousands of dead innocents caught in the middle is where I’ve been keeping my sympathy. They seem to be the only ones suffering in this damn war.
Tens of thousands.
Fast approaching 30000.
And don’t forget that for everyone who dies there are more than two others injured, and many of these injuries will be life-changing. Plus the psychological trauma.
Exactly. Hamas is comprised of Palestinians, not all Palestinians are Hamas. It’s civilians dying to Israelis indiscriminate attacks.
Fuck Israel. Fuck Hamas.
The only way to stop groups like Hamas from existing is to stop Israel from murdering and oppressing Palestinians and creating generations of trauma.
Ones cause, the others effect.
There’s all manner of explanations as to why this situation arose, but none of them change the root message here: Fuck Hamas, Fuck Israel.
Quick question: Why Hamas, the government of Gaza, on one hand, but Israel as a whole instead of the Israeli government on the other?
neither. israel should not even be there but the whole thing started with a hamas attack (well not the whole thing thus point one)
History didn’t start on Oct 7.
No, but it ended for the Palestinians as a political entity with their own agency that day. Future historians will cite this event as the one that sealed the fate of the Palestinians as the losers of this conflict forever. October 7 showed Israel that Palestinians can not be trusted to govern themselves, that the only way the Israeli state can ensure its safety is by having a tight grip over Palestinian affairs, like in the West Bank.
I’m stating this as an observation, not as an expression of support of how Israel is conducting itself in the West Bank. However, I do believe that nothing Israel has ever done justifies the atrocities of October 7 and I sure hope that you were not trying to justify those either.
agreed.
What do you mean by “be there”? Exist as a nation or be in Gaza?
exist as a nation. Put in place by fundamentalist religious types who want to show how the bible predicted this thing they caused to happen.
Don’t forget the mass migrations prior to WW2.
I’m not sure if you are aware of this, but the persecution of Jews didn’t start with WW2 and neither was it limited to areas controlled by Nazi Germany. There are very good reasons why Jews wanted to return to their home country.
I don’t even know where to start with a comment this absurd. The founder of the modern state of Israel was anything but a fundamentalist:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Ben-Gurion#Religious_belief
Not to mention, even if he or any other of the leading figures of his time had been fundamentalists, how would this be a good reason for denying Israel the right to exist right now? Why should that be a criteria? The Palestinian leader at the time, Amin al-Husseini, was most definitely a fundamentalist by modern stadnards, so does this mean that a Palestinian state should not exist either?
one person is not the reason israel came into being. it would never have made it without the fundamentalists pushing support for it.
That has a habit of being true
