The kind that has a degree from a top university in engineering.
It's called checking the down vote history which is public if you run a federated instance.
Or how certain instances you frequent ban people for posting facts.
I popped off at the now removed comment under my other reply so this isn't directed at you, but thought I would repost it so other people could see it. It is incredibly demeaning, infantilizing, and insulting how westerners and lefties from the rest of the global south twist this conflict and the historical context around it. My mother is actually an Afro-Cuban refugee with a family with many members who fled the Castro regime for reasons other than being white American business people. He would jail them by the thousand, rape, and beat them. My Pale-fucking-stinian dad married my mom because she had a child, my brother, who no one was going to care for. Meanwhile lefties defend the Castro and modern regime on the basis of it improving literacy and Healthcare. My now orphaned reply follows:
I'm from the area. Family been there for 500+ years.
If Israel is an apartheid state so is the US, Canada, and every other Arab nation that allows cross borders workers under shit conditions. It's especially bad in the gulf states, they steal passports from immigrants and turn them into modern day slaves.
The shit in the west bank is indeed bad and a new government needs to prosecute to the fullest extent anyone participating.
I've lived through this conflict my entire life.
When Black September happened the Jordanian army actually Indiscriminately shelled the Palestinian refugee camps killing so so many.
It's ok I know all the keyboard warriors from the west only want to hear from "the right Palestinians". I have stuff my dad gave me from the 1700s Ottoman Empire before he died. His grandfather got murdered for not being down with the cause of Arab nationalism post ww1 when they started killing the local jews and dissenters, not the European zionists, the people who were local community leaders for generations.
Turns out a lot of people on the left think the jihadist shit that hurts civilians is justified because their side is oppressed.
It's disgusting and perpetuates the cycle of violence. Before the current war things were improving. Israelis were fighting hard to remove Netanyahu from power, including the military (air force) striking.
Edit: No one cares about the Israelis (Including the 20% Arab citizen pop) entering the west bank at the risk of being murdered to defend Olive picking workers from Israeli settlers and IDF clowns who disgrace their uniforms.
I don't actually care about votes it just shows how bitter some people are, and want to bury facts that conflict with whatever their entrenched position is to steer the conversation.
Believing there is a righteous cause side here (as in in Gaza) other than the actual civilians who don't celebrate and materially support violence against other civilians is a fools errand. Also fuck settlers in the west bank and Netanyahu im not even touching that with a ten foot pole it's just bad.
Unfortunately the situation had deteriorated to the point that Hamas is actively hurting their own people's chances at a peaceful life directly. It's just a tragedy.
Edit: lmfao at the salty loser who went through the entire comment history on this account and down voted every comment. That's all you can do, along with raging online, you aren't in the Levant. You're not from there. We don't care about your opinions.

Israel doesn't operate the Egypt side and Egypt wants to not be an active participant beyond maintaining the crossing. They especially don't want to run a PoW camp.
Working with the IDF directly to transfer prisoners to them would probably start shit in Egypt Sisi doesn't want to start as it would be seen as entering the war I guess. Iran backed Houthi rebels in Yemen are already doing War Crimes on Egyptian hospitals for their current stance.
Also allowing a war crime (using ambulances to transport fighters and/or arms) and defending it like this emboldens them to continue doing it to the detriment of civilians since they won't face consequences.

The active Astro turfing in this thread, and on lemmy in general, when facts conflict with a pro Hamas narrative is fucked up.
E: You guys are making it really obvious when 5 or more down votes are applied all at once.

Edit: the sudden flux of down votes is extremely suspicious and it's just a fact.

re: smuggling siege equipment (oxygen concentrators should be amongst the medical aid) amongst humanitarian aid food...
https://youtu.be/W4gDfSNMRx4?si=3NhT_Xt2Dxxkp3A- at around 6 minutes you can see Hamas using concentrated oxygen in the tunnels to refresh themselves. Lot of morons with "underground mine experience" who also don't know its a standard practice outside of Gaza. https://www.amsj.com.au/dont-hold-breath/

WP is allowed for artillery range finding and is the US procedure as well.
That's what's it's been used for. In Lebanon most of the wounded civilians got sent home the same day because Hezbollah doesn't do the human shield shit to the same genocidal intent.
The Rome treaty you are thinking of Israel is not a party to BTW. Same as the USA.
