Wanna get even angrier? Since the cease fire was agreed, Israel released 150 Palestinian people. In that time, they have also made 133 new arrests of Palestinians for the crime of…celebrating the release of Palestinians.
If this were done by a movie villain, people would criticize it for being too cartoonishly evil and unrealistic.
Imma need a hardcore source for this. Not because I doubt it, but because I'd like to include it in an essay
Aljazeera is the first thing to pop up. You can likely use it as a jumping off point.
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/11/28/arrests
It's the 'arrested for celebrating' part that we want a source for and I didn't see any in this article about it. Just seems very odd Israel would admit such a thing, so if they did I want a solid source to share with others.
You could literally use google and find lots of stories talking about it. Here is a snippet from just one.
That is pretty fuckin clear.
Wow. That is cartoonishly dystopian.
Totally not channeling his inner Nazi... Yet there are still shitbags here twisting themselves in knots to defend everything Israel does.
Thank you!
Ben Gvir is a special kind of evil, but unfortunately not so uncommon in the Israeli government.
Al Jazeera is heavily biased towards Arabs. They mix lies with truths very well, creating a propagandistic media. I advise fact-checking everything that Al Jazeera says and not considering them a trustworthy source. They have zero credibility.

It was the first link in a search on Google. Calm your tits.
No, they're saying that's a dumb response because it's backed by multiple outlets. Sure one way be biased so.... Do your own research. Or complain that it wasn't handed to you tied up with a bow.
Brother, you just gave yourself wonderful advice, think about taking it.
All of it.

There's like two sentences and both of them are extremely dramatic so both is a reasonable answer, way to prove you're overly dramatic though.
Ok Honey, you're being dramatic.
Comedy gold. /S
And yet some are still defending it. The propaganda is strong.
they only influence the elections in Israel, mainly because that is where they are a political block
I wouldn't be sure of that. Nor would I have any truck with the old puppet-master/squid trope. A lot of countries will budget for influencing various political spheres beyond their borders. Israel shouldn't get singled out for special criticism in that particular field. Not because what they have been caught doing isn't reprehensible but because that field of manure is busy with as bad or worse actors such as Russia, China, or the cough USA cough.
What makes any news showing Israel in a positive light propaganda and any news showing hamas in a positive light credible? Each side is saying the exact same thing about each other yet you chose to believe only one side as believable.
What a simplistic interpretation of reporting during war times. Reductively representing all Palestinians as Hamas is willfully ignorant. The vast majority of people here are for the people under siege.
If you support people under siege, that would include Israel.
You don't know what the word siege means.
They give sources and show evidence. That makes them credible.
Also Aljazeera shows first hand accounts of Palestinian hostages telling their stories of torture in Israeli prison while all the israeli side gives us is "a hostages aunt said this definitely happened" while prohibiting the israeli hostages to speak to the media.
Just because israel lies about everything you can't go "well then surely the other side does too".
Yeah but that's not what happens. So why do you believe that?
Show me where that didn't happen.
Only one side can end this simply by going home. Hamas and Hezbollah have both publicly stated their only demand to end hostilities is that Israel stops it's occupation.
So then why did they attack first? What occupation? Living in your own country isn't occupation.
Sorry but no. The rest of the world agreed that conquering land and calling it your own went out of style in May of 1945. You don't get to put your own pictures on the wall and pretend you didn't steal the house.
I didn't but I guess thanks for keeping me informed. Also distracts me from my problems which are minor in comparison.
