Author Topic: Israel's "War of Revival"  (Read 11021 times)

I can't refute everything in the fire hose that is Ladio's posts (The reason I locked the last topic.) I'd like to just make one two small points:

274 Palestinians died. (Maybe) This is very very different than your claim that 274 civilians died. If you're going to spread information you could at least make sure it's accurate.

I find your posts to have a lot of shock and horror that's supposed to be taken at face value. You make lots of edits to update numbers since you're willing to grab any story that backs up your side the instant it releases. If I was doing the same I could be posting links to stories that one of the hostage keepers was a journalist for Al Jazeera, the propaganda news source you frequently post.

Ok. I have updated the post to specify that we are not certain how many of the 274 killed in this specific attack were civillians (although I am sure we can both agree that the 64 children killed were unlikely to be Hamas agents)

Unfortunately it is difficult indeed to get exact numbers when Israel says only 100 Palestinians were killed. (that is a rather high number, still when rescuing only 4 people and killing 3 people that were supposed to be rescued but ok.) Of those Israel itself has only confirmed that 17 of them were militant combatants. That is still at least 83 civilians. (247 if we are going by the health ministry that has to deal with the influx of injuries after every one of the assaults)

But here are some more non al-jazeera sources:

Yes, Al-Jazeera is the primary news agency that has up-to-date reporting of the events in Gaza, and thus is going to be the most easily cited when these events occur instead of waiting two days for CNN or APNews to print the same stories.

I'm also taking a brief look through that list of controversies, some of it does seem troubling. Some of it, not so much. I will leave a tldr for those who don't want to read that whole link.

In Algeria, the government shut off residents power to prevent them from seeing Al-Jazeera's coverage of Algerian military's abuse of power. Not so troubling.
In Australia they were criticized for a documentary revealing a far-right politician's connections to the US's gun lobbyists. Not so troubling.
In Bangladesh, they are accused of downplaying atrocities committed by Pakistani militia groups, while criticizing Bangladesh's democratic government. Yeah, that's troubling.
In Bahrain, they were banned for being too pro-Israeli. Not so much troubling as confusing.
In Egypt, they were condemned for their bias against Egyptian royal government and support of the Muslim Brotherhood organisation,
(An organization originally founded to combat Britian's occupation in Egypt and promote Islamist teachings. It supported Egypt's transition into a democracy, and during the Arab Spring movement in 2012 achieved the first democratically elected president in Egypt, who was later ousted for failing to curtail the Brotherhood's pro-islamic extremism after their election. It's a very complicated subject and worthy of an entirely different thread). That is to say, for this point, It's definitely complicated. And I can agree this could troubling.

I unfortunately have to run to the store, but I can continue to summarize this list later. It should suffice to say for now, that yes, this news source, like many others, are biased around what their audience is concerned about. That is why, when pressed for more sources, I don't stick to just one. When devising a brief summary of events, as I have been doing, however, (in a thread that practically no one reads anyways) there is little benefit for me to be so extensive.

And again I update my posts through edits to avoid being spammy, but if you prefer i can just double post.

you literally got completely loving dogwalked on this topic already and locked your thread without responding. you are a dumbass literally just stop posting

in every conflict before this one, the gaza ministry of health's numbers have fallen extremely close to the number the UN eventually settles on. israeli and US intelligence have been relying on their data for 2 decades

the propaganda news source you frequently post.
every media organization in israel, including foreign media like CNN, is subject to censorship by military censors, so there isn't really a "non-propaganda" unbiased source anywhere in the region. al jazeera's reporting on the conflict is pretty much the best in the region, but direct accounts from people in gaza are even better. some israeli outlets are pretty good too (+972 mag for instance, and sometimes haartez).

I would have attatched this to my previous post, but I didn't want to edit it to make it seem overwhelming:

You could, but even CNN would say you need a bit more evidence.

I'll get back to TLDRing the controversy list for those interested after I finish making dinner.
I would like to note a clarification to my last post however, that mistakenly made it seem like I was implying Egypt was a monarchy before the 2011/2012 revolution and election. Mubarak, the president prior to the revolution, was not democratically elected, but instead appointed after his service in the military.
I don't want to edit the post though so I will just have to leave the clarification here.


Read the last sentence in the image you posted and think a little.

Did I link that or in anyway claim that it was factual? Notice the IF in my post? I'm saying that posting about that would be as accurate as solely quoting Al Jazzera.

And Ladios counter-pointed that by bringing up multiple other news sources other than Al Jazeera.

You said 274 Palestinians died "maybe". I didn't say anything about combatants or noncombatants. I was pointing out that the GHM figures on the total death toll have been reliable for decades.

That being said, if the IDF is claiming only around 100 people died, and in reality 274 people died which I believe is credible, then we can infer that the 174 people they didn't count were completely accidental collateral damage. Because the IDF claims to have a robust accurate count of how many combatants they've killed (currently they say it's around 14,000.)

I understand that, I just wanted to make it explicit that the IDF is the only source for that claim.

Also now I want to say that those aren't directly comparable entities. Al-Jazeera is a well-regarded media organization, albeit one that you can expect to exhibit a pro-Qatar bias. Whereas the IDF is a historically unreliable primary source and literally one of the parties in the conflict.

evil jew scum
true

I can't refute everything in the fire hose that is Ladio's posts (The reason I locked the last topic.)
ha


never seen hungergames i cant relate

Well it's been a while, since my last update. There is still no headway on an end to this conflict.
Netanyahu continues to reject and permanant cease-fires, saying that he wont agree to any deal that ends the war in Gaza.
The goal, as I have stated before, is not rescuing the hostages, but the complete subjugation of the Palestinian people.

I realize I hadn't finished compiling the TLDR for the link Soukuw had left. Really it distracts from the point of this whole thread that there continues to be widespread attrocities included Imposed famine, as reported by the UN

The most basic summary would say that Al Jazeera does have a pro-islamist and pro-qatar stance. Obviously they are going to be more inclined to report on these attrocities than, say, the American or Israeli Media which has a direct stake in making this genocide seem justified. But, if linking to that source is going to cause such consternation, (even when I backup these posts with like 8 other sources from other media) I will limit Al Jazeera links to no more than one per post.

In this post particularly, you will find that there is nothing that links to this
propaganda news source
Which I hope satisfies you because obviously any news source with controversies is completely unreliable.

It does seem reasonable to ignore a number that is intentionally made misleading. It's kinda weird you're saying...

This is a legal order, by our own government, to ignore the facts of what is happening.
immediately after being misled yourself.

If the numbers are intentionally misleading then why has the US Govenrment been using those same numbers for over twenty years?

Not relevant. How would I possibly know that?

Can you explain why using a number that includes enemy combatants is a good number to use for an estimate of necessary civilian aid?
