three in women’s clothing and two dressed as medical staff

Isn't this what Israel accuses Hamas of doing? Every accusation is a confession, and attacking inside a hospital is hardcore terrorism.

attacking inside a hospital is hardcore terrorism.

As expected from a nation that were founded by terrorism.

that is explicitly perfidy under the Geneva conventions

Yep, same with those "safe zones" they bombed

It's not surprising, remember during the pandemic when those videos surfaced of Israeli soldiers shooting Palestinian medics and civilians?

This is what would happen when there is no armed resisance group for the Palestininans.

Meanwhile the top story on lemmy.world is a Russian figure skater getting disqualified. What a fucking joke.

Shit is less relevant to the world than "iFlyTek develops LLM model comparable to GPT4-turbo."

You can thank the Israeli propaganda apparatus. They're everywhere

So, Israel can pull off a precision operation without blowing up a hospital and killing thousands of innocent civilians…

…interesting…

Too scared to wear a soldier suit.

Isn't this what Joker did in Dark Knight.

Dressed up as a nurse, reached Harvey, took a bus full of hostages, blew up the hospital, then had his goons disguised as the hospital staff.

The military did not provide evidence backing that claim.

Using military force in an area you occupy is illegal. Why didn't Israel do police work?

Oh, thanks for the link.

Reading that this is something Yamas does regularly sounds like it would be terrifying to Palestinians.

You consider the Associated Press a biased source?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

A hundred times yes. AP is inseparable from US imperialism. It projects the Pentagon's version of reality to a global audience. Through sheer volume it floods the airwaves to the detriment of other countries' own news agencies, sets the agenda, and is integral to US hegemony, as soft power.

Your first link is to a summary of a book and your second doesn’t mention the associated press

I don’t know what to tell you. To not be familiar with Chomsky’s or Parenti’s work is to lack basic media literacy, which, to be fair, is most people.

If you don’t want to read a book, you might start with the video documentary: Manufacturing Consent Noam Chomsky and the Media (Documentary) 1080p

I like how this one dude just storms in casually with his wheelchair like some Legendary grade loot box skin
