    I suspect that Times of Isreal carefully select what is shown, skewing perception. Even so, how far would we each need to be pushed before fighting back or supporting the fight back?

      Israel is fighting for its life. You’re not going to see a lot of half measures. Because of its stance that Israel should not exist, if Hamas wins there will be no Israel. However, Israel has never taken the position that a Palestinian state should not exist and has tried on multiple occaisons to help create one.

    Channel 12 sent one of their primetime anchors into Gaza. 3 minutes into the video he walks through a biology classroom, steps outside a door and shows the munitions depot in the room nextdoor. No need to understand Arabic or Hebrew.

    These aren’t isolated incidents, although I’m sure they were chosen to be highlighted because they’re the clearest cut ones. Like the rocket launchers in the youth center.

    Downvoted because it doesn’t fit the Israeli-apartheid-Hamas-freedom-fighters narrative. Good job lemmy…

      I hate Hamas but this is just rage bait made to make you completely dehumanize the enemy, to make you OK with all the civilian Palestinian deaths in this war. It has no place in a news oriented community.

    The IDF has indicated it does not have plans to engage in tunnel warfare, as the passages are likely to be booby-trapped. Instead, it is demolishing the tunnels as they are being found.

    Ahh, i thought the ground invasion is about saving hostage…

    Look at that funny little soldier. I woulda thought he’d be too small to be in teh army.
