The IDF doesn’t take a lot of risks in Gaza, obviously, they mainly fly drones and throw bombs, otherwise they would have gone into the tunnels and freed the hostages. Anyway, google „Operation Barbarossa“ and „Holocaust“ for some basic history.

So I have had two Palestinians I’ve shared lose their account this week- it was their first accounts, they didn’t understand the platform, weren’t spamming or DMing anyone- sent in appeals with pictures of their IDs and heard nothing from @moderation.bsky.app

What a stupid „question“. At least reads some history before denying genocide. Apply the same logic to the most famous one in history and you already see that it doesn’t work.

In den westlichen Medien wird kaum berichtet, dass Israel palästinensische Gefangene jahrelang ohne Anklage in Adminstrativhaft hält und brutal foltert. Die 'einzige Demokratie' im Nahen Osten ist für Palästinenser*innen ein Apartheidstaat.

Palestine’s most popular leader, Marwan Barghouti, was beaten unconscious and has his ribs broken by Israeli prison guards and his family fears for his life, his son has said, citing evidence given by former Palestinian detainees released this week as part of the ceasefire deal.

"In Hebrew they commented on our appearances, called us Hamas, gestapo, and whores, and joked about our obvious discomfort as people shifted and vocalized in pain. A speaker blasted Israeli pop music."

As Greta points out, this is only the tip of the iceberg compared to what most Palestinians experience regularly. She didn’t want to make herself the centre of the story but how Palestinians are treated. You can also listen to a similar tale told by Tadhg here: podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/t...

This kind of sadistic behaviour, like a bunch of schoolyard bullies, sounds like what you would expect to happen to a celebrity dissident in Russia who crossed one of Putin‘s favourite oligarchs. Just that this country is happily supported with arms, trade and diplomacy by most of Europe 🤗

Naja, dass die NYT in allen Details einen Tunnel beschreibt wenn die IDF von Hamas-Kommandozentrale sprach macht die IDF doch nicht gerade glaubwürdiger, oder?
Glaubst du internationalen Ärzten und Ärzten aus Gaza nicht eher als dem israelischen Armeesprecher, der bereits Dokumentiert gelogen hat?

Simusz @simusz.bsky.social · 1d

Naja, wie immer Fotos, Videos, Berichte in glaubwürdigen Medien mit ordentlichem Fact-Checking. Warum glaube ich nicht den Lügen über das Massacker von Bucha in der Ukraine? Darum. Ich glaube der Hamas nicht eher als der IDF.

Simusz @simusz.bsky.social · 1d

Mir geht es jetzt konkret um das Beispiel Hamas-Kommandozentrale in Tunneln unter diversen Krankenhäusern in Gaza, wie von der IDF immer wieder unterstellt. Keine Beweise gesehen, nur komische 3d-Videos. Perfektes Beispiel dafür, wie Unglaubwürdigkeit IDF-Angaben sind.

Simusz @simusz.bsky.social · 1d

Das meine ich mit „Verschwörungstheorie“ und „rassistisch“. Ich kann mich an keine andere Hungersnot erinnern, wo es solche widerlichen Behauptungen gab. Erinnert an russische Propaganda über die Ukraine. Man kann übrigens mit Menschen aus Gaza über WhatsApp ganz einfach in Kontakt kommen.

Simusz @simusz.bsky.social · 1d

Nichts seriöses, nein. In der NYT gabs mal ne aufwändige 3D-Animation die zeigen sollte, dass es einen Tunnel unter dem Al-Shifa-Krankenhaus gab. Warum deswegen fast das ganze Krankenhaus zerstört werden musst blieb unklar. Das Hamas-Leute und Geiseln in Krankenhäusern behandelt wurden ist klar.

Simusz @simusz.bsky.social · 1d

Erst kommen die ersten Meldungen, dann der Propaganda-Spin Israels und der Hamas, dann was sich später als wirklich wahr herausstellt. Sie sind scheinbar nach Schritt 2 zufrieden. Wurde je eine der Hamas-Kommandozentralen unter den bombardierten Krankenhäusern in Gaza gefunden?

Ich erinnere mich, dass der ICJ schon im März 2024 von einer Hungersnot gesprochen hat (www.icj-cij.org/node/203854) und Israel auferlegt hat, genügend Hilfsgüter nach Gaza zu lassen. Hat Israel dann nie befolgt. Wo sollen die Lebensmittel für 1,5 Millionen Einwohner denn hergekommen sein?

Na die Theorie, dass es in Gaza keine Hungersnot gibt und Bilder von abgemagerten Kindern gestellt oder manipuliert sind, während Bilder von Palästinensern, die nicht abgemagert aussehen, repräsentativ sind. Das die Berichte von Ärzten, UN und Hilfsorganisationen ebenfalls gefälscht waren.

Worth emphasizing that Trump's singular trick for facilitating a deal in Israel was just...being publicly frustrated with Netanyahu and threatening to walk. That's not a unique talent, it's just a thing Biden personally and ideologically was unwilling to do. Lowest bar cleared to great relief.
