The IDF claimed the uncovered footage provides further evidence of Hamas using the civilian population as human shields. Dressed in jeans and a casual grey shirt to look like a civilian, the man is seen later walking through the bomb-blitzed streets of Gaza with the missile hidden underneath a blanket.
It’s the Sun. They’re not trying to be journalists.
For one thing, nobody who attacks a tank is a coward. That takes fortitude. Because you’re probably going to die. So throwing untrue insults around in the article, is the furthest thing from journalism that you can get
I don’t agree it’s fortitude, and this article explains exactly the situation.
The IDF is just manufacturing consent for their genocide of Palestinian civilians. The IDF also still needs to decide if Hamas is a conventional army or a terrorist organization.
The IDF is not committing a genocide.
The IDF aim is to take down Hamas, and not to destroy the Palestinian population (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Israel–Hamas_war)
The unfortunate truth is that Hamas disguised as Palestinian civilians, and use Palestinian civilians as human shields.
It’s not that hard to hold three truths in your mind at the same time. What Hamas did was a violation of international law and fucked. Isreal’s response is ouverreaching, targets civilians, violates international law, and is fucked. Antisemitism as a response to Isreal’s actions is a violation of international law and is fucked. We can recognize that what Hamas did was wrong, what Isreal is doing is wrong, and that blaming people of Jewish faith for what Isreal is doing is also wrong. Being on the side of innocent Palestinians is not the same as being antisemitic.
I don’t understand why every argument has to devolve to baseless sound bites absorbed from media by a half alert brain. We can very clearly see that Isreal and Hamas’s beef is being handled irresponsiblely by both sides and innocent civilians are caught in the middle. Primarily innocent Palestinian civilians demonized in assenine article like this.
What does this article prove? It shows a guy holding something obscured by a red outline and someone else in different clothing holding a rug then standing next to a tree. This is supposed to be proof of something? If this came from a video then let’s see the video.
It proves an evidence that Hamas are disguising themselves as civilians, hence danger civilians to be tagged as possible targets.
The full video is in the article, please read the article and watch the video before concluding the post.
I don’t think Hamas has an official uniform. I’ll note that, when Hamas wore regular camo,
Israel’s i24 News and The Sun in the U.K. claimed that “the terrorists wore our uniforms” and “sick Hamas terrorists used IDF uniform disguise.” source
And now that they have someone in Hamas not wearing camo (I don’t know, does Gaza even have a working laundry at this point), both the Israeli media and The Sun immediately switch to
Hamas using the civilian population as human shields. Dressed in jeans and a casual grey shirt to look like a civilian
So basically they’re saying it doesn’t matter how Hamas dresses, whatever they wear is an evil deceitful attempt to mislead the pure upstanding Israelis.
Every army has an official uniform, unless they want to blend with civilians.
