Hamas thinks the blasts are early.new year's celebrations.More bomb blasts equal less sand spooks.12sam • 26.12.2023 | 01:42It's fascinating to me that Haaretz, a newspaper published in Israel allows comments that are so openly critical of Israeli policies to the extent that even hyper antizionist comments are acceptable. I think it's a clear sign of a healthy Democracy. Is there a similar news organization anywhere in the Arab or greater Islamic world that tolerates anti Hamas statements or calls for the release of the hostages or is critical of the governments of any Islamic country?Peter Cohensam • 26.12.2023 | 02:19@sam.Healthy democracy! Allowing critique on an ongoing mass murder it is performing under our eyes? To me it is witness of incredible impunity and supremacism.Geosam • 26.12.2023 | 11:36I guess that whatever newspapers and those critical of the war say, to you Israel is to blame anyway? What would you like the critics to do? Ask for the State to cease to exist and its citizens to go elsewhere?Peter Cohensam • 26.12.2023 | 11:44@Geo."Ask for the State to cease to exist and its citizens to go elsewhere?" Exactly.11Whatnow? • 26.12.2023 | 01:02“On Monday morning, the IDF said it was reviewing the incident. Later in the day, the IDF spokesperson's office said it refused to comment.”Oooohhh, that’s not a good look, guys.10John Welch • 26.12.2023 | 00:22The New York Times says:https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/25/world/europe/israel-airstrikes-gaza.html9t.h. • 25.12.2023 | 21:57It would seem (and some comments here reflect this attitude) that the vast majority of Israelis don't know (or simply don't care) that they are totally isolated in the world. That the rest of the world looks on with horror and growing outrage at its massacre of Palestinians in Gaza. That in their blind rage they are sowing the seeds of destruction, not of seven million Palestinians or even Hamas, but of their own country, itself born of the lie that Palestine was "a land without a people". I am deeply ashamed that my own country (the U.S.) is complicit in these crimes.8Don • 25.12.2023 | 18:22The dead in this "alleged air strike" are really dead. The IDF won't comment? No worries. The world isn't listening to them any more. Nobody believes them anyway.7Avi L. • 25.12.2023 | 17:51Red cross would do better to check the hostages, did it checked what was under the street? Sewers/tunnels? No food? Ask those hamas rats caught srealing from poor gazawis. Gazawis know very well where the food ends. Those hamas gangsters killed Ahmed Bracha who tried to stop them stealing from aid trucks. The neighboors burned the police station. Hard times for those hamas criminals when the people won't be scared anymore. Some old style account settlements are coming6Avi L. • 25.12.2023 | 17:38"according to palestinian sources" LOL Like the hoax where an Israeli strike killed hundreds of people at the al-Ahli hospital ... it was an islamic jihad missile and it was a pot hole in the parking lot. Cars nearby wern't damaged and there were no traces of blood around. Hundreds of killed would leave some traces ... yes "according to palestinian sources" ... BTW news agencies saw list not bodies 5Marnie • 25.12.2023 | 16:44IDF: “We are committed to international law, except we’ve trashed international law for six decades in the OPT, but never mind that. We will say anything no matter how stupid a lie it is. Because we are the IDF, a terrorist organization.”RodMarnie • 25.12.2023 | 20:17No need to be over the top4Marnie • 25.12.2023 | 16:41More infuriating IDF bullshït about “international law” and “challenges” carpet bombing civilians. I guess Shira Etting and her fellow pilots suddenly have “the strongest confidence in the people making those decisions” whereas they didn’t a few months ago? So now Shira bombs knowing those bombs kill massive numbers of children. Then goes home to her kids. Kol hakhavod, Shira.
