    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.

            Anything that Israel claims is being dismissed as false,

            Maybe if they would claim some things that don’t sound exactly like the lies they always tell, and which are routinely proven false, I’d take them more seriously.

            anything that hamas is saying is being taking at face value

            Maybe if they weren’t making the kind of claims that usually turn out to be true, I’d treat them with more skepticism.

            I can’t fathom how this is difficult for you to understand. If Israel has less credibility than Hamas, they have only themselves to blame for being such bald-faced liars. Hamas is terrible but they haven’t pissed away all the credibility they have left since Oct 7 the was Israel’s government has.

                    You can’t answer anyone here.

                    People are acknowledging reality.

                    All you do is pretend that the most respectable and credible news we have is “hamas propaganda”. You’re avoiding using the word “Palestine” anywhere, and you’re incapable of pointing anyone to a single reliable news-source.

                    Weird huh, how you can’t do anything but talk about sucking cock when everyone around you is showering you with undeniable facts about how Israel is literally evil to it’s core.

            When you’re bombing schools and hospitals all the time and hand-waving it away as “human shields”, I get to call bullshit. You are shitting on my mouth and calling it a sundae.

            Why did they destroy all of the water treatment facilities? Were those human shields, too?
