A foot patrol of the French unit operating within the UNIFIL reserve force came under fire from an Israeli army position while inspecting an earth barrier recently erected by Israeli forces in the Wadi Qatmoun area, on the outskirts of the Lebanese town of Rmeish, according to the National News Agency (NNA).

    They are using F-35s armed with half-million dollar bunker-busters against men armed with cheap AKs and sandals that also hide behind children inside hospitals, so when they inevitably die by a strike, they can blame the other for being inhumane monsters.

        Please explain to me, because I’m dumb, why are Israelis bombing hospitals and schools then?

        I am legit dumb and ignorant and wish to learn; and I am not trying to troll here, I am genuinely asking you to explain why resistance fighters are hiding behind hostages?

          why are Israelis bombing hospitals and schools

          Because hospitals keep Palestinians alive and schools teach Palestinians about the crimes against humanity Israel has been committing for almost 80 years.

          Also, they generally want to destroy everything resembling Palestinian societal infrastructure and culture, so such vital institutions are amongst their favorite targets.

            I don’t think this is true, otherwise i could ask: so why don’t they simply napalm the entire refugee camps they forced most of Gaza into? Because so far they aren’t completely wiping refugee camps just targeting insurgent operations within them

              Committing a full blown genocide in one night is not going to work. They already study this shit. You have to do gradually and with in a tolerance because the world is now watching. At the beginning when they didnt have numbers, they will genocide a full villages and build on graves. You can find these information in wikipedea. Now days with cameras every where they calculate how many they can kill daily where they can have a long case saying we didnt genocide people.

              This is to answer your question, but you also need to keep in mind what a genocide is. Erasing culture and identity is part of it which they do by replacing olive farms with pine trees on top of destroyed villages, or claiming a Palestinian cuisine as their own, or reducing the representation of Palestinian in pop culture. Targeting painters, poets, scientist, destroying children live by taking them hostages in prisons, and abusing them so they come out with lack of self identity and broken mentality.

              You have to read about their history and the systematic genocide they are committing if you really care about known why and whats going on.

                If they were doing a genocide, why would they care if the world was watching though? Why care at all what anyone else thought if they were committing to deleting a culture off the planet?

                You sound like a Q-Anon conspiracy theory nutjob.

                I need more from you, like a news article or factual Wikipedia article or literally anything with substance because i am having trouble believing anything anyone says at face value on the internet.

                  You just claimed that Hamas hides behind children in hospitals backed up but fucked all and you never provided anything. And no, asking questions is not a response to it. So your note in any position tho make demands like that.

                    You essentially told me to go fuck myself. Why?

                    Is your position so weak that you can’t provide sources of credible reading? Sounds like you are full of shit.

                    I can easily google shit myself, but I am here asking for curated content that is credible and would align with everything everyone here is talking about.

                Because Hamas is stealing it all to feed themselves, not distributing it to civilians, and leverage it to continue fighting by feeding only their fighters and their own families.

              Simply because they know it’s not something they could get away with. They’re smart enough though to have people like you believe that’s not what they want, I’ll give’em that. What they’re after is what they think they can achieve, which is to ethnically cleanse Gaza and the West Bank altogether and push the Palestinians out, and they’re using what hamas did and whatever lies they spiced up on October 7th as an excuse. The world is watching, and that’s the only thing stopping them from doing what they had done many times back when technology wasn’t there to show their horrific crimes over the past 80 years…

                  For someone pleading ignorance, you sure as hell know a lot of pro-Israel talking points. Being misinformed and spreading misinformation is NOT the same thing as being uninformed.

                  Hasbara is Hebrew for “explanation” and also the colloquial term for pro-Israel apologia amongst Hasbarists.

                  Hasbarists are the people who spread those lies.

                    Isn’t there still a bunch of hostages being held in Gaza? I thought this is why they are attacking Hamas again after a cease fire agreement. This is why this is relevant.

              They aren’t good guys, but Israel is literally evil when they murder innocents when there is no justifiable threat. I don’t know what indoctrination convinced you that tens of thousands of innocent civilians is a justifiable cost. None of this defendable.

      Ya, they also have a massive wall and complex defense systems to take down missile. There is literally no threat. It’s almost like it’s just an excuse to kill civilians.
