In reply to the discussion: Dozens of Palestinians killed near Gaza aid distribution point, health officials say, in third day of shooting [View all]Richard D
(10,018 posts)45. It's looking more and more that the world was duped (again)
From Honest Reporting: https://honestreporting.com/48-hours-two-blood-libels-aid-site-massacres-faked-by-hamas-spread-by-the-media/
As of now, the only evidence that Israel killed the civilians is from the words of Hamas.
If this turns out to be so, and it looks more and more like Israel was innocent here, it means that people were duped.
It also points to what we've been saying for a long time now: Hamas lies. Over and over and over.
That's part 1, Part 2 is that most uncritically believe the lies.
Some get all insulted, like when the lie is pointed out, and still they will believe the lies.
Others got murdered because of the manufactured outrage.
Virtue signaling is at an all-time new high.

The IDF says they "directed" shots "near" Palestinians, after their "warning fire"

Who is the "source known to be a distributor of false information" you're talking about?

So you don't believe the workers in the hospitals, who are there, trying to save lives.

The people trying to save lives don't have an incentive to lie; those trying to take them do.

As it happens, I already had. And the BBC did nothing that anyone could call "backpedalling"
