Y’all really justifying putting the people you’re supposed to be fighting for in harm’s way by hiding behind them now?
Have you noticed the pattern where if a fact originates from Israel you repeat it as fact but when it comes from the Palestine side you dismiss it as invalid?
I mean several third party sources have stated they have no evidence of gaza blocking transport and that this claim has come exclusively from the IDF... yet its still shared as verified... do you have an example of it being verified that I missed, because i am searching now and everyone but israel says its unconfirmed as far as I can see.
Which one of those links independently confirmed it outside of Israel as a source... I dont see it.
Wait the USA has troops on the ground? As far as I know the USA gets its info from Israel does it not?
@realcaseyrollins Can you link a source where they claim it was independently verified?
When I search for "confirmation hamas blocking gaza" all the results I get within the last 10 days either say there is no blockade (thehill and reuters)... the pages that claim there is a blockaid either dont name a source or name ISrael as the source... One article in the first page even claims Israel is the one who enacted a humanitarian blockade on gaza (apnews amnesty internation).
@realcaseyrollins no the usa repeated what israel told them... they didnt confirm it (look for themselves)... if they did they never said so...
I want anyone other than israel or hamas to say they saw it first hand, no one has done that, but several people have claimed the opposite (that it doesnt exist)
@freemo I don’t have another source ATM, but I’ll dig for one at some point
@realcaseyrollins Dont have to dig.. its to point out something important. Your concerns about the palestinian numbers, while valid, is an issue in both directions.
Throughout this war both sides have repeatidly lied to make the other side seem worse or their side seem better. So we need to be skeptical of all second-hand sources here, far more than usual. We need to rely largely on first-hand sources that do not represent either side.. the UN to nsome extent does that, but things like amnesty international and other humanitarian services who are directly on the ground themselves are far better sources IMO even than the USA (who does not have anyone on the ground that we know of)
@realcaseyrollins No its not about israel vs palestine. ITs about both sides doing it, they are at war....
i am searching now and everyone but israel says its unconfirmed as far as I can see.
Huh?
