    funny how when Palestine makes a claim, Lemmy just eats it all up.

    but when Israel releases footage and coordinates to support their claims, everyone is suddenly questioning.

      I guess it has to do with the enormous social media machine Israel has. I take both sides with a grain of salt tho

        enormous compared to what? because I’m seeing so many hamas defenders in lemmy and they never concede basic facts. it looks like it’s tiny and ineffectual compared with the hamas propagandists.

        Man, what? Where do you hang out? My comments have a pro Israel slant to them and I get consistently downvoted.

            I liked Reddit before spez fucked it up and I actually like having the downvote function.

            Back when I was on Facebook I wished that site had it.

        Oh, social media machine? You mean the same that Qatar and Iran operate? The same that Elon Musk, you know, CEO of Twitter, met with Qatari media mongrels months before the attack. The same Qatar that houses Hamas leadership.

        It’s so powerful that I even need to include that, yes, Israel also has one. But it’s doing a pretty shit job evidently.

        And you have easy time believing Hamas, the other side of this conflict? Seems a little naive if that’s the case

      Lemmy is a hive-mind as much as Reddit is/was. Anyone who claims its somehow better here is either lurking or part of the hivemind (just find the downvoted comments in this thread and think about how you would vote)

      “Israel bombed a hospital. 500 killed, 300 injured”

      “Eh, actually, it was a self inflicted failed launch”.

      “Oh right. So as i was saying, it was just a parking lot near a hospital. About 30 killed”.

      Meh, I take all the news and developments with large lumps of salt for this topic especially.

      I believe both that Hamas is operating behind human shields to curry favour against humanitarian law, and that the IDF is more or less indiscriminately harming civilians, refugees and militants of Palestine all in the same brushstroke to excuse extermination as merely retaliation (also against humanitarian law in case that’s not clear to anyone)
