Where have we heard that before?

This gas, however, is supposed to be white phosphorous.

And Norman Finklestein, a political scientist, has disclosed deliberate actions to poison the soil and water supply.

1. Just where are these people supposed to go?

[iemanja]

3. They are supposed to die

Today, Israel announced that anyone left in Gaza will be considered a terrorist. That means children and the elderly—the population who has been the targets since the “war” (read genocide) began.

14. I believe this tactic is called "corralling". n/t

2. I am heartbroken .

We watch thousands suffer and die, not only in Gaza but around the globe.
The rich and powerful want everything , everywhere.
The people are discarded or murdered. 😢

May the LORD shine his face upon you and be gracious to you;
May the LORD lift up his face upon you and give you his peace."

4. Are there any other sources besides "some guy on Twitter"?

5. There is a video you can see

With your own eyes.

8. Sorry, but we've entered the age where "you can see with your own eyes" isn't good enough.

Here, you can see the CEO of OpenAI shoplifting a GPU card from Target with your own eyes.

20. Did you want one of the 248 journalists

Killed by Israel to report on the story?

7. The BBC has been reporting this almost every night on PBS

[LudwigPastorius]

9. Then posting a link shouldn't be a problem.

I'm just asking for confirmation from a mainstream news source.

[iemanja]

24. They've done it in the past

A "mainstream news source" is very difficult when Israel refuses to allow journalists to enter Gaza, and has killed hundreds who dared to enter. Why do you suppose they would want the outside world from knowing what is happening there?

Refusing to believe anything because of the absence of a mainstream news source is to turn a blind eye to the truth.

[Gaugamela]

10. Since Israel won't allow international journalists into Gaza, no.

I can’t imagine why journalists aren’t allowed to witness the Israelis’ deeply righteous struggle, can you?

BTW, there are also reports that Israeli drones are sniping Palestinian children. Wish I could provide a link . . . .

17. they've pissed away any goodwill they ever had

fucking disgusting beyond belief

[ReRe]

18. Damn right.

[womanofthehills]

35. What's also gross is they often spray a chemical that resembles feces

They do it at protests and in West Bank Neiborhoods. Those aboard the flotilla are being sprayed with something - some reports say the chemical feces again

12. The video does not square with your OP's headline, if that is even an Israeli quadcopter. The X/Twitter post misinforms

... the reader as is also evident from the video: one segment of the video has people running around in that "gas", and they seem essentially unaffected. So, your implication that this relates to WWII is hyperbolic--if that is stated in its kindest form.

At one point in the video, it seems that they are discussing Gaza's "old town". Can you please post a complete translation? Also, how are you sure that you are not just posting Hamas propaganda? One "guy" on Twitter is hardly a securely reliable source.

Posting that OP and headline seems not to be a whole lot better than what was seen when Trump was pushing "They're eating the cats. They're eating the dogs."

[AloeVera]

25. The ruins of Al-Shifa are AI too of course.

As are those people running and coughing in all that lovely clear air.

Sarcasm and

[xocetaceans]

38. You could stay on topic and look at the video that was in the OP, but it seems that you are not able to square ...

... what the video presents with what claims are made in the OP. At least, you are not addressing that. If you wish to lie to yourself about that OP for whatever reasons, that is purely your business, but it does not make either what you claim or the statements in OP true , no matter how you would choose to deflect. So, go ahead and be sarcastic: just recall that it is the easiest to lie to yourself, even if you are being clever about it.

13. With Israel bombing so much in the last few days

The air quality must be so toxic - esp for anyone with allergies. There have been videos of kids having trouble breathing Remember all the cancers in the 911 responders.

The flotilla people have accused Israel of spraying toxic stuff on them in the past. Today they said the were sprayed with some kind of irritant.

Remember when “skunk”trucks were going thru West Bank many times in 1914, 1015, and 1917 spraying chemicals that smelled like feces documented by Reuters and Al Jazeera. Who does this???

[ReRe]

16. I thought I couldn't hate anyone

more than I do djt, but I was wrong. I hate Netanyahu & his cabal infinitely more.

[Johnny2X2X]

19. A reminder, Trump and BiBi told the world their plan several months ago

Every single man woman and child in Gaza will be expelled or killed, their land will be taken, their homes razed, and the land will then be sold off to Trump's and Netanyahu's rich financiers to develop into resorts. Everything else they say is just a distraction, we already know their plan.

And I think the West Bank is next.

The last chance anyone in the US had to do anything to stop this was in November of 2024.

[JustAnotherGen]

26. Thank you

A much needed reality check. The world was informed. VP Harris told us during the campaign. So here we are. By the time our own fascist Regime falls there will be nothing left of Gaza. It's all by design.

21. Evil

These are monsters
That is all

[Ping Tung]

22. These war crimes have become common place enough to warrant the condemnation Israel is now getting

from other countries.

[EX500rider]

23. Seems more like dust from a conventional explosion

As the people wondering around in the cloud aren't even coughing, much less " suffocating"

[sarisataka]

28. The person filming himself seems quite unbothered by the "gas"

And later the children, wandering by don’t seem to be the least concerned or irritated by the so-called gas.

[iemanja]

30. See this

[sarisataka]

32. None of those have anything to do with the accusation

Despite the claim of being apolitical and not taking sides the +972 magazine only seems to have articles critical of Israel. A trend that pre-dates the current conflict by at least a decade.

The second article starts with the fallacy that white phosphorus is a band munition; its use is restricted not prohibited.

In the interest of seeking the truth , however I went to Al Jazeera figuring if any news source would support these accusations , they would be covering an Israeli gas attack on Gazan civilians. I could locate no Al Jazeera report of Israel using gasses now or in the past, in Gaza

[iemanja]

33. Al Jazeera's journalists have been targeted and killed by the Israeli military

along with Reuters' journalists and the vast majority of those entering Gaza, which you well know. The rest have been banned.
That you give Israel the benefit of the doubt in the midst of a genocide is shocking. You nitpick to ignore the truth. Israel's stated policy is to remove or exterminate ALL Gazans, which you also know since they have announced it. Just this week they announced that any Gazans remaining in their homeland would be considered terrorists and killed, yet they have nowhere to go. The notion that a news outlet should pretend there is some sort of moral equivalency between massacring an entire population and the victims of those killings is morally repugnant. Their responsibility is to tell the truth, and our responsibility as human beings is to denounce genocide.

[Klarkashton]

27. "Let's give Israel the benefit of the doubt" Hahahahaha

[Rob H.]

29. At this point, a person would have to be a complete sociopath to support anything Israel's doing

much less defend it.

[gulliver]

31. Why haven't our Dem leaders surfaced this story?

It should be assumed untrue, imo, until we get reliable confirmation from our elected Dem leaders.

[iemanja]

34. You can't be serious

Do you know anything about US policy toward Israel and how our elected representatives vote on the issue?

Have they denounced the targeting of children, something multiple doctors have testified to?

https://www.cbs.com/shows/video/G5gIg_iwm8ZuPSjg9uqYjBizZ_NsgDdN/
https://www.dailysabah.com/world/mid-east/nothing-justifies-targeting-children-in-gaza-greek-pm-mitsotakis-says

Have they announced the burning of homes and tents, with people in them, in safe zones? https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/gaza-mawasi-tent-camp-strike-israel-1.7402036

Israel's stated policy is to remove or kill Gazans, as they reaffirmed in the last couple of days. Israel is in the midst of committing genocide; giving them the benefit of the doubt is strange indeed.

[gulliver]

36. I assume you aren't saying our elected Dem leaders are deliberately condoning...

... genocide. That would be a terrible thing to say or even imply about our elected Dem leaders.

[iemanja]

37. I understand you must be heartbroken over the crimes and evidence I pointed to

Given your denunciation of them.
