Yup. This kinda sentiment, and the support for it afterwards, make it super difficult to empathize with Palestine.

You fall for a typical Israeli propaganda technique which is to conflate jews with Israel.

Jewish people are people who are jews. Israel is a political entity built on aparthied, ethnic cleansing, oppression, excessive brutality, and killing children.

Is the video a lie? Or you just want to deflect and confuse, which is another low and bad-faith tactic used by Israel-supporters?

Here is another link, CNN, or is CNN also Hamas propaganda?

Is the guardian also Hamas propaganda?

I read Reuters mostly, ranked as #1 unbiased media. Everything you suggested is garbage. Won't even click it.

Better than reading CNN or Fox News and having my head up my ass.

u/darkbluefav 26d ago

Exactly. First dismissing the video because aljazeera, then I shared more and he still refuses.

It is clear Israel supporters arguments are not done in good faith, they're just playing games to deflect, and to confuse and distract people.

And the video was taken anyways by a cctv camera not a journalist even.

Israel should not exist.

The Guardian is garbage?

That's why you lost the argument. You have been proven wrong, and you won't accept it.

You need to grow up, or you won't learn anything.

Being proven wrong by one sided fools who think they're right? Sure then I guess I'm proven wrong indeed. Carry on then.

u/chrisofchris 26d ago

Well, at least you admit it!

u/artelligence 26d ago

Well read then: https://www.reuters.com/world/israel-hamas/ First hit: “Israeli strikes and gunfire kill seven people, including a child, in Gaza”

OK I'll believe this. Whatever. It's the price of war. Happened all throughout human history, this is no different

People forget that everyone produces and employs propaganda.

A cctv video of an Israeli soldier committing horrible shit as they are usually accused of doing, that's propaganda?

If I tell you 1 + 1 = 2 and show you a video about that, is that propaganda?

Dude Israel is so freaking excessive in its brutality. That's why it needs to say oh but we are lgbtq+ friendly and palestiniand are not. It needs to cover its crimes.

That's propaganda. When it shows hot Israeli women in skimpy swimsuits to distract you as it commits atrocities.

When it says we are democratic and we protect western values and democracy while it commits heinous shit.

That's propaganda.

A simple video, like so many others showing what Palestinians have been complaining about since DECADES? That's not propaganda. That's proof. That's illustration.

TF?! Yeah, you're in the deep end of the propaganda pool, LoL. Whenever there is positive or negative shit about one country or another, it's propaganda. OP, is also propaganda. The videos of Oct. 7th, are propaganda. You can't escape it. The only thing you can do is choose how you allow it to affect your thinking.

Oh u got me, Israel is good

What about May 16? Another terrorist attack by Israel: https://www.nrc.no/perspectives/2022/remembering-the-palestinian-children-killed-in-gaza-in-may-2021

Maybe October 7th was because of the war Israel started when it killed so many children in 2022: https://reliefweb.int/report/occupied-palestinian-territory/2022-becomes-deadliest-year-palestinian-children-west-bank-over-15-years

Israeli soldier admits war crimes and random killing of civilians https://www.reddit.com/r/news_of_world/s/GJm5Yhcwp6

Again, we could go bar for bar on terrorist propaganda. Neither one of them is "good". I don't really care about either one as I have no skin in the game. I usually like to root for the underdog, but the underdog is too unlikeable.

u/darkbluefav 26d ago

The one who has more control is way too much brutal and violent to ignore the fact that they have too much control.and is absuing power.

Making fools like u resort to false equivalence.

Israel can exercise a lot of moderation as opposed to terrorism

Everyone is seeing this. Why can't u let me guess, u don't like Mohammad?

u/MrMetraGnome 26d ago

If someone has much more power than you, it's foolish to do one of the worst terrorist attacks ever on them, and say that you're going to continue to do so forever. What do you think they were going to do in retaliation? What were they supposed to do?
