The contents of the Israeli Association of Rape Crisis Center’s paper alleging “systematic” Hamas rape derive largely from discredited second-hand testimonies and debunked media reports. Among its most heavily cited sources is a dubious NY Times article that triggered a staff revolt at the paper.
I did not upvote this because I’m worried I will be accused of antisemitism
Not immediately reflexively endorsing every Israeli action in perpetuity is antisemetic, I’ve reported you to the ICC.
In this case, it might also be a good call because of the source
I’d prefer some other agency reported the story given Grayzone’s track record
I don’t get the point of these arguments; people came across a border and opened fire on any person they saw! Just because they didn’t rape every single one of them as well does not make it any better.
In order to justify the Genocide you need to completely dehumanize Palestinians. That is the purpose of this propaganda. The same propaganda tactic has been used before.
This is incorrect. The Palestinian fighters refrained from attacking Israeli civilians when they were able to. In many cases they did not do any harm to the Israeli civilians they interacted with and we’re in fact courteous towards them. They targeted military and police instead. A currently unknown portion of the deaths of israeli civilians on 7/10 was from Israeli fire. Witnesses and available evidence indicate that Israeli infantry, tanks, and helicopters fired indiscriminately at civilians, militants, and homes with occupants. Israel refuses to investigate its forces’ acts on 7/10 and destroyed and buried evidence (bombed cars).
So those videos that came out right after, like the ones from that festival where all fake? https://youtu.be/APAhJYIhXv4
What do you think that video shows? It does not show Palestinian fighters shooting civilians indiscriminately. It does show a scene of the aftermath of israeli fire on its own civilians’ vehicles. It does not show Palestinian fighters doing anything outside of their legal rights.

Media bias / fact check for The Grayzone:
Overall, we rate The Grayzone Far-Left Biased and Questionable based on the promotion of propaganda, conspiracy theories, and consistent one-sided reporting.
As I’ve said before, Media Bias/Fact Check is a joke.
Wikipedia too, I suppose.
This sub’s credibility seems to be on par with the Gray Zone based on what you’re upvoting - I’m blocking this brain rot.
Grayzone is a Russian propaganda troll pretending to be left wing in order to pull people to their side.
You people are one step away from creating a conservapedia equivalent because “wikipedia has a liberal bias”

Why do you have “Stormfront” under the parody Wikipedia globe?
(Literally just asking for clarification. It’s not obvious to me and I’d like to understand your intent.)
It the implication that Wikipedia is as bad as the infamous neo-nazi website Stormfront?
Not sure: I didn’t make the emoji, I only borrowed it. There is a relationship between NATO and fascism, though.
The U.S. Did Not Defeat Fascism in WWII, It Discretely Internationalized It
Even outside of political reasons Wikipedia is dog shit, how many more cases of teenagers editing and keeping completely wrong shit should be publicized before you fucking shitlibs stop using it as a source? Or this recent news about a bored housewife trolling the Turks
Ah - lemmy.ml - it all fails into place - red fascist nonsense.

I was shown to be incorrect, after which I edited my comment as you can plainly see.

Obviously I wouldn’t have edited it if someone hadn’t called me out, how would I have known I was wrong if they hadn’t? I intentionally left my original text there, crossed out. If I were trying to hide something then I would have just removed the text altogether.
(Commenting in hopes it helps me remember to read these and check into it later when I have more time 😅)

I’m stealing that drawing. It’s awesome. Did you make it?
Haha I wish I did. Just copied an emoji from Hexbear lol

Hilarious when discredited outlets call other news outlets discredited.
Some people want for Israel to be the only bad guys here, when the fact is that Hamas is shitty as well. Also, rape during war is so incredibly common that I’d be shocked if it weren’t happening. But this outlet doesn’t believe the Uyghurs are being attacked by the CCP either
Blegh every war is a crime. I don’t know if there has ever been a war that didn’t involve rape. Even the allies in WWII (“a just war”) were infamous for that, both in the European and Pacific theaters. So it’s not surprising now.
But yes, any Hamas who commit atrocities, may they burn in hell if there is such a place. Same as IDF and settlers who do so.
I’m pretty sure the American troops are still raping people in Japan.
Statistically, sure, there must’ve been rape cases in Japan with american perpetrators. I wouldn’t say that’s relevant in any way to the discussion, though.
