    I guess you’d have to point out what misinformation you’re talking about.

    When it comes to human shields, the only independent verification back in 2014 is of Weapons (not rockets) hidden at a vacant school, situated btwn 2 UNRWA schools housing displaced people, by a Palestinian armed group. The Guardian journalists had encountered a couple individuals in 2014 too. Yet none of those come remotely close to making hospitals and schools bombing targets. Even if all the IDF claims were true, that does not exempt those hospitals and schools as protected under international law.

    And let’s just conveniently ignore how much the IDF uses human shields while we’re at it

    And no, official US and NATO investigations do not count as independent verification. They routinely use IDF as their sources for such claims without hesitation. To the point where even Biden parrots completely fabricated claims that even the IDF has to quickly walk back, such as the 40 beheaded babies.

    The people of Gaza are literally being starved, dehydrated, and bombed to death along with any public infrastructure that could help. Why are we focusing on this instead of how we can get Israel to stop? They are the ones in power, that is the reality of an apartheid state holding a permanent occupation. Without any occupation there is no resistance to the occupation.

      Calling for 1 side to stop does not end a conflict. Calling for Hamas to release the hostages and surrender would help this conflict end.

      Calling terrorists resistance and destroying all meaning of the word apartheid does not help your cause either.

        Hamas hasn’t been the one rejecting a ceasefire for hostage deal. But the irony of those two sentences right next to each other is pretty funny lol.

        I’m going to be charitable and assume you don’t know the history of life under Israeli occupation nor how the apartheid in South Africa ended. The resistance in South Africa was also labeled as terrorists, Should they have surrendered too? Would that have ended the apartheid?

        Bombing and worsening already terrible material conditions doesn’t solve terrorism, it’s the improvement of material conditions that make terrorism fade away

          Your links are super outdated. That ceasfire already happened, and Hamas didn’t get their wish to free thousands of terrorists for a few hostages.

          You know what improves material conditions? Having water pipes in the ground and used for transporting water. You know what doesn’t? Ripping out water pipes and using them to make rockets that are launched at civilian population centers. That’s what terrorists do.

          Also, don’t assume things. You’ll often find yourself wrong.
