On Sunday, the Israeli military said there was a “high probability” that three hostages found dead months ago were killed in an Israeli airstrike.

The army announced the conclusions of its investigation into the deaths of Cpl. Nik Beizer, Sgt. Ron Sherman and Elia Toledano. It said investigations had determined that the three were likely killed in a November airstrike that also killed a senior Hamas militant, Ahmed Ghandour.

The IDF seems to be taking a stab at humility the last few weeks. What they don't seem to realize that all their lies can never be forgiven because they admit to a few murders of their own people.

If a state gets caught knowingly lying about things like this, nobody should ever believe them again with anything. Its insane that anyone still does.

And yet people still believe the USA

The USA has a very strong and effective propaganda machine in action. It uses the Illusory truth effect, suppresses dissent and makes it so that you have to look hard to seek out the truth. I would argue that it is perhaps the most effective propaganda machine on the planet. Not really comparable here.

Hannibal directive?

Hamas hides their military operations behind Palestinian civilians, are we really that surprised that they also hide behind Israeli civilians too? Isn't that the point of taking the hostages in the first place?

Do you support the much larger number of Palestinian children from the West Bank being taken hostage by the IDF without a judicial process?
