I watched the video from Al Jazeera. There are blurred sections, but at no point does it show blood or anything that is unambiguously a human body. I don't expect that corpses with gunshot wounds would be broadcast on TV, but that still leaves commondreams.org with no evidence beyond several brief interviews filmed by Al Jazeera. I do expect that if this event took place, impartial news agencies would have access to uncensored images of the aftermath. I'm going to wait and see if the New York Times publishes something.
So, what you're saying is that there's enough ground to believe that this news organization, Al Jazeera, has fabricated dead bodies. The journalist team blurred a pile of puppets or something and went on-air, lying they're human bodies. That's an interesting take...
Alright, I'm out. I have nothing more to say to you.
Sounds 100% like what AJ would do.
I won't believe it without unblurred pictures. It's not that hard; links to gory pictures should be included with a warning in these kinds of articles.
I'd think it's hard enough to acquire pictures from a war zone...
Yes, but they already have them. They could just publish the footage without editing it. The footage already does look compelling, but it would be better if it was unblurred.
Contwct them and ask for the unblurred videos.
Are you being serious here? It would be much better if the videos weren't edited. It would leave too little room for doubt.
What's the worst that could happen? They're journalists. Ask them nicely. Make sure to let them know it's because you don't trust their journalism.
I do trust Al-Jazeera's journalism generally, but I will hold them to the same standards we usually hold western media to. These images look more compelling as evidence than most of the pro-"Israeli" media's evidence, but if Al-Jazeera really wants to convince people who are biased in favor of "Israel" or the US, then it must release unedited images, video clips, and audio clips.
Holding the media outlets on your side to a high standard will benefit you in the long term.
Remember that many people still actually believe that the occupations militia never explicitly targeted civilians. These articles are the perfect thing to point to, and they should be backed by as much evidence as possible.
As for the funii request, I may try to contact Al-Jazeera tomorrow and will ask them to include the footage like they usually do.
I think they have an editor policy about dead bodies full of bullets and that is why the images are blurred.
I think this is holding them against "another" standard, not a high one, but yeah okay sure.
Let me know how it goes.
Yeah, so funny. The few hundred Hamas members of worldnews can cry all day. Hamas will be exterminated, and I'm glad there are online records of their supporters. Good to know who is terrorist adjacent and / or working their propaganda.
I love it when they post and add their names to the list.
Criticism of Israel is not praise for Hamas. The IDF and Hamas both deserve nothing but the sharpest condemnations. Both are a blight on the Palestinians.
Oh there's definitely praise for Hamas here. In just the past day someone equated them ewith Nelson Mandela, and another referred to them as a liberation organization. LMFAO.
The pro hamas, white nationalist, and other detestable groups are welcome at any "Palestian" rally. And always show there with strong support across the board.
This group is littered with calls for the destruction of Israel and antisemetic propaganda. I wish you were right, tbh.
And yes, I'm super sad that Hamas put Netanyahu in power (by less than half a percent tha ks to their suicicide and bus bombings to counter Perez's lead) and collapsed chances for a two state solution.
You'll find crazies wherever you go. I've argued against those same people too and pointed out to them that Hamas isn't the rebel army for Palestinians. They cause great harm to the civilians too.
Lumping all criticism of Israel together with pro Hamas drivel only benefits Hamas. That's what they want, to build legitimacy and hate towards Israel. You're doing their dirty work for them. If you actually want to oppose them, call out the specific, explicit instances. Don't rail against a Palestinian protest group -- rail against the terrorist supporters who are trying to disguise themselves.
The IDF is wrong for killing innocent people. Hamas is wrong for killing innocent people. Neither of them are justified in it. Anyone who cannot accept all these statements is a bigot in some way and should be condemned.
Also, there seems to be very direct links between Netanyahu and Hamas. The NYT just reported the other day that Israeli officials allowed suitcases of money to go Palestine for Hamas to seize. Netanyahu used them to get into power and stay in power.
I get your points and appreciate the perspective. Id say it cuts both ways, that the happiness with which the Palestians embrace the "crazies" undermines everything they say. When they're marching next to a neo-nazi and people shouting, "Gas the jews" like that protest in Australia... then I can't fathom why I'd care at all what any of them say.
I agree with you 100, co dem war crimes. Including the IDFs...and 100% Bibi snd Hamas have always been best allies and partners.
