    Please provide corroborating story link from a credible source. I will have to remove if the story link can’t be updated to a more reputable source.

        It was showing as middle of the road for the credibility rating, which on its own is shaky but with a corroborating report strengthens it.

          IIRC it’s considered middle of the road due to political leanings rather than the actual credibility of the reporting.

          Which, tbh, is sort of concerning when evaluating credibility because political leanings do not change whether a report is factual or not.

        Clearly you’re right. But the UN report did not say what the article said it said. Which means it’s biased reporting.

          The article prefaces every item with the word “alleged” or “alleges”, just like the report. How is this biased?

    The UN added, “While in control of the building and the civilians sheltering there, the IDF allegedly separated the men from the women and children, and then shot and killed at least 11 of the men, mostly aged in their late 20’s and early 30’s, in front of their family members.” The UN continued, “The IDF then allegedly ordered the women and children into a room, and either shot at them or threw a grenade into the room, reportedly seriously injuring some of them, including an infant and a child. OHCHR has confirmed the killings at Al Awda building.”

      Funny, how you alter the source to make it seem more clear than it is. So here is the part you altered, as reported by the OHCHR:

      ‘OHCHR has confirmed the killings at Al Awdabuilding, although the details and circumstances of the killings are still under verification.’

                There was no made-up quote. The quote was from the article, which left the end off a sentence, saying that the circumstances are under investigation, although the killings have been confirmed. So we have survivors accusing the IDF of slaughtering these people and we have the bodies, but it has not definitively been proven that the people were killed in the way the survivors claim. People can make of that what they will. I’m not trying to twist anything.

                Here is the report (PDF):

                  The correct way to to cite it would be: ‘OHCHR has confirmed the killings at Al Awdabuilding […].’

                  Its simply wrong to not do it. Especially cutting of the sentence at a ‘,’.

                  And the last time a crime against humanity was still under investigation – where it was obvious that a rocket hit a hospital, but the exact circumstances where still unclear – it was later confirmed that Hamas hit the hospital.

      Fuck Hamas. They are not “resisting”, they killed innocent civilians, women and children, and don’t give a flying fuck about the Palestinian civilians either (cf Moussa Abu Marzouk’s declaration that they are not responsible for defending the civilians in Gaza). They are a creation of the Israeli apartheid regime’s own making when they were hoping to destroy the credibility of the PA, to perpetuate their colonialist narrative. Hamas and the Israeli apartheid are two sides of the same brutal, inhuman coin. Fuck Hamas as much as the Likud and the ultranationalist Israeli right to the seventh pit of hell.

        on the radio I heard two scholars discussing recent polls that reveal a surprisingly strong level of support for Hamas among gazans even now, despite the level of backlash that has resulted. when asked why, they said that Palestinians have long given up any hope that negotiations could achieve their goal of freedom and independence. they said that since negotiating has clearly failed for decades, Palestinians feel that the only remaining option Israel has left them is aggression and violence. and Hamas is the leadership that is willing to resort to violence.

        while I certainly feel awful about any innocent Israelis getting caught up in the original attack, I can’t help but feel like Israel has done this to themselves. they have caged an entire group like wild animals for decades and somehow have the audacity to blame them for lashing out.

        but let’s be honest here. we have all heard these points and most of us have already made up our minds about it.

        It’s hard to not let your emotions take over, but Hamas only exists because of the hatred of Israel.

        Hamas exists because Israel doesn’t want Palestines to exist.

        Terrorist organisation typically don’t continue to exist for extended periods of time without external assistance.

          This is silly, not mentioning Iran as the actual people training and funding Hamas is either very deceptive or evidence you have no idea about anything happening in the middle East.

          Also acting like Hamas are the only terrorist organisation in the middle East and a total novelty is absolutely absurd, when people call them freedom fighters without any reference to what they’re actually saying they’re fighting for is again totally deceptive or from a total lack of understanding - they don’t want freedom they want a theocratic dictatorship and death to all non Muslims.

          That’s not too say everything Israel have done of good or moral but painting Hamas as innocent people just fighting for their freedom is laughable

            Oh blah blah blah, this whole situation is alot simpler that Israeli defence Muppets like.

            Israel is NOT a poor developing nation. Their military is on par with the UK. Their economy is doing fantastic. Quality of life in Israel is growing.

            Israel wether you like it or not are always going to be the bad guys in the situation simply because they should know better. They have been taunting, attacking and murdering Palestinians for 70 years. The only countries other than Israel that are to blame are the US and the UK.

    Hamas is shit for putting terror and attacking Israel above taking care of their own civilians. Israel is shit for mass-execution of innocent civilians.

    They’re both shit, but we all know this will only end with Israel exterminating an entire population, which is even shittier.

      The reason Hamas is in existence is because their peoples’ homes being taken and the Palestinians being killed constantly, for years. What would you do if your nation has lived in their land for ages, and a people came and took your family homeland and killed your family, and took neighborhoods and whole swaths of areas, then penned you up so that you couldn’t exit or enter your country without their permission…don’t you think you’d rise up with some other warriors to do something, anything? That’s what Hamas is. It is not a terrorist organization to go out and cause terror and trouble. It is the fighting representative of a beaten people.

      Technically, Hamas aren’t Palestinian in origin to begin with, they’re from a group that once controlled Egypt and their power over Gaza Strip was maintained by the Israeli Government via various means including directly being funded by them and neighboring nations. So, it isn’t their people. The don’t give a fuck if Palestine faces genocide, never have.

        Why not? It’s the one fundamental differences when comparing this conflict with the Nazi extermination of jews (and others).

        The jews didn’t massacre German civilians before their attempted annihilation.

        It’s not much of a difference, in the entire score of things, but both Hamas and the idf have blood on their hands. Neither have done things benificial to the Palestinian people. The October attack was a strategic mistake of the highest order.

        At the time support for the Netanyahu regime was falling, people were demonstrating. They had literally nothing to gain. They actually played right into bibi’s hand.

        Not that I approve of the Israeli reaction, it’s horrible and indeed a case study on the banality of evil. It is completely outside of all proportions. To say that only one side is to blame, is wrong. Without oct 7 this would never have happened. To deny that you would have to prove that it was a false flag attack.

            I do get the analogy of the Warsaw ghetto, I’ve used the same analogy before.

            But the relationship between hamas and the Israeli governement is very curious. If say I’m not on the both sides kind of thing, but on the ‘one of three’. The Palestinian people are suffering under the war mongering of both hamas and the idf. Just like not one hundred procent of Israelis are behind the actions of the idf, most Palestinian people aren’t responsable for the actions of Hamas.

            It’s way more complicated than the binary issue you lot try to make it off it and frankly that is tiring and obtuse.

    WSWS isn’t a great source because it’s based on a cause.

    However, here’s the report.

    It’s uh… Not good.

    At what point does the Foreign Assistance Act’s ban on sending aid to countries in violation of human rights standards come into play? It seems like we’re getting a report on a new war crime every few days, which is a breathtaking rate for a professional Army.

    That’s eleven men.

    This is bad and I don’t want to justify or defend it. But this does not indicate mass executions of civilians as policy. It could well be a platoon leader who overstepped authority.

    As the report states, the UN is calling for a formal investigation. As well they should.
