what about the last two years of video evidence of all the other war crimes?

The bodies of burnt children. The reports of doctors who document multiple sniper rounds found in the bodies of small children and toddlers?

I've been seeing reports about internet connectivity being very touch and go in Gaza the last few weeks.

Is it not unreasonable to think, those who are starving the most might not have internet/electricity to charge a device/care to document when they're starving?


jsyk many cases of evidence turned out to be propaganda and instead was showing Syria (https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20231229-war-of-narrat... and Bellingcat looked into it as well)

Some of it may be real but you really need to pay attention about who posted it originally, who reposted it etc, even people you wouldn't expect sometimes retweeted recycled Syrian footage...


> Some of it may be real

From first-hand accounts, a lot of it is in-fact real. Including the babies who were left to die in the NICU. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/10/09/opinion/gaza-...


There's probably truthful accounts and there's different sorts of manipulation (like OP article is a bit) but you can't know "a lot" or "a little" of what other people see is true of fake


Maybe their phones are running a bit low on charge and they can't find an outlet here:

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Is there a reason to disbelieve the soldiers’ testimony?

Here's a story from NPR that makes much stronger claims agaist Israel (and cites sources) than the Haaretz story:

https://www.npr.org/2025/06/28/nx-s1-5449587/israel-gaza-haa...


> Haaretz has become a radical-Islam mouthpiece and will most likely be banned soon

Okay but this is just another claim that seems to require evidence. Why should I believe this?


There is plenty of reason to disbelieve the testimony was reported accurately.

Haaretz’s English edition claims that IDF soldiers were ordered to fire at unarmed Palestinians waiting for food in Gaza, but the original Hebrew version? It states they were told to fire towards crowds to keep them away from the aid sites. This represents a significant difference in intent, legality, and moral implications

> fire at unarmed Palestinians waiting for food in Gaza

> fire towards crowds to keep them away from the aid sites

I am struggling to understand the distinction.


The difference is the agenda of the reader, sadly.


Who cares about the word used in that sentence. They also said they killed people every day by doing this. How is that explained away?


For you and me conversation is about facts, reality and accuracy. For them it is about bending the narrative as far as it will go. It's not strange behavior if everyone around you is doing it.
