A school run by the United Nations in northern Gaza has been hit with apparently devastating impact, the UN confirmed Saturday, in what a top UN official described as a “horrifying” incident.
I’m talking about you, snek. The media that you read and watch. Stick with Reuters, AP, BBC, maybe CNN or something for three days. No Arabic language media (or English-variant thereof) whatsoever. Pay special attention to which stories are missing. I wouldn’t want you to deprive yourself of local news long term - that’s just unrealistic and petty. But give it a try and see what happens when you go back.
I don’t throw out a source for simply criticizing Israel, but I do give them a boot when they refuse to condemn Hamas’ actions, or they are so heavily one-sided that it’s no longer a joke. I strongly believe that this war needs to be seen through to the end of Hamas. A ceasefire would only prolong the suffering of Gazan civilians and ultimately result in the death of more civilians. Hamas could end this war immediately by surrendering to face trial for crimes against humanity and release the hostages.
UNRWA is not a clean organization. Their presence in Gaza is deeply enmeshed with Hamas to the point that UNRWA was at risk of losing their funding because they were unwilling to remove dehumanizing hate speech from their curriculum. Hamas successfully chased out a director because he dared to even say that Israel was trying to minimize civilian casualties.
“Condemning Hamas” actions" Was the right thing to do, but Israel came to use it to silence journalists and discredit organizations that try to be neutral or not play any political games. In any case, all of those organizations have condemned Hamas, but you still won’t listen to them.
I think it’s really sad the assumptions you make around me. I don’t even consume Arabic media usually, and the BBC is on the list that I sent above. Not to mention that these agencies you mentioned are starting to dislike Israel more and more after it killed everyone and their journalists. They expose Israeli crimes just the same /: so I am not sure what you even mean other than trying to sound like you know the truth while we all stumble around in the darkness.
Edit: I just read my original comment again and you clearly ignored the part where I say this isn’t Arabic media… now I lost faith in this discussion.
I recently visited Berlin and did tours to understand the holocaust better, and one thing I learned is that propaganda that drives you to kill others indiscriminately is propaganda and leadership you should always question. It’s too unfortunate how Israel fits the Hitler box, it’s very sad that the tactics of othering are used to excuse war crimes and carry out a genocide. This is the only thing I see here, after 75 years of oppression.
Never again includes Palestinians. Either that or it doesn’t include anyone at all.
So, in conclusion, discreditong the UNRWA is just the pretense to make this genocide “okay” in the public eye. To take the heros and turn them into an enemy… That’s how you kill five thousand kids and never look back to think about it.
