Hamas rules Gaza by assassination and fear. They kill other Palestinians with guns and other things all the time. They shoot parents in front of their kids and vice verse to stay in power. The Iranian immamate and Qatari royals don’t pay people to post about it online all day, though, so Al Jazeera doesn’t write about it and Guardian doesn’t retweet about it, and that’s the truth of the matter. The evidence is staring you in the face.
Doesn’t the idea of trained, uniformed soldiers, subject to a very robust, open legal system, as well as a military code of justice enforced by courts martial, sniping kids in the head for sport sound unbelievable? I posit that not only does it sound unbelievable, but that is actually is unbelievable; that if you were being rational, you should not and would not believe it.
No, no doctor anywhere in the world can determine the identity and motive of an individual from a bullet wound. This article’s presumption to the contrary defies obvious logic and physics. Think about it for five seconds. Terminal ballistics has nothing to do with identifying the shooter or motive.
In no court of law in America would these doctors testimony be admitted as identification evidence or to explain motive, and you must know this to be true. Should read more critically, slow down.
"Q. Wait, you’re saying that children in Gaza are being shot by snipers?
A. Definitively. I have two children that I have photographs of, that were shot so perfectly in their chest I couldn’t put my stethoscope over their heart more accurately
. And directly on the side of the head, in the same child, no toddler gets shot twice by mistake by the world’s best sniper, and they are dead center shots."
man you’re obstinant. Israel selling weapons tech doesn’t mean they can produce the physical bombs, missiles, tanks they need to continue the war let alone defend from a coordinated counterattack.
Benjamin Miller says it best,
"Israel cannot work alone. It needs financial aid as well as backing in the international arena from some major power. China and Russia are certainly not partners and Europe is very critical of Israel these days, and sensitive in the humanitarian field. Australia and Canada are also not a real option, because their tendency towards us is similar to that of Europe.
What does the US provide Israel in terms of foreign aid as well as in the diplomatic arena, which we would have a very difficult time doing without? Firstly, there is the defense aid, which in normal times amounts to $3.8 billion annually, about NIS 14 billion (Israel’s defense budget, without US aid, is NIS 65 billion annually in normal times.) Also on the agenda today is aid totaling $14 billion to support the war, which has not yet been approved by Congress.
Apart from the two aircraft carriers that the US sent here at the start of the war, to deter Iran and Hezbollah, it has also been frequently supplying Israel with artillery and tank shells and as well as bombs for aircraft. “If the US stops aid in the field of armaments,” says Miller, “That’s a huge problem for Israel, because it also needs to stockpile weapons in preparation for a possible war against Hezbollah. In such a case, we will need a huge amount of weapons.”
No less important than the aid that the US gives to Israel, Miller stresses, is in the use it makes for our benefit of the veto it has in the UN Security Council. Thanks to the US, several resolutions regarding a ceasefire in Gaza were thwarted in the last few months alone. “Since October 7, the US has used the veto three times in our favor,” says Miller.
Prior to October 7, it looked like Israel has additional partners in the international arena in China and Russia. Only last June Netanyahu was proud about being invited to visit China by President Xi Jinping.
"That was also another conception that Netanyahu had before October 7 that has been shattered. The conception was that Israel could maneuver between the three great powers - the US, China and Russia - and supposedly benefit from all worlds.
The vast majority of US Jews want the conflict to end, something that can be done by a US president with a phonecall.
Harris declaring that she’ll end the war would be a boost across this demographic, and I’d assume many others.
Could be done with a phone call, if Bibi gave two shits about what we think, and he doesn’t. He really, really doesn’t.

The phone call must include the magic words, “or no more weapons”
They don’t need our weapons to shoot little kids in the head. Bullets are cheap.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/02/gaza-palestinian-children-killed-idf-israel-war
It doesn’t matter if we cut off the supply or not, they don’t need our weapons.
Okay now turn on your brain and use it on this nonsense article…
How can a doctor know the identity and motive of the shooter by looking at a wound?
Were these magic doctors?
Caliber and location of the wound. Ballistics is a science.
Plus, it’s not like anyone else is shooting Palestinian children.
Hamas rules Gaza by assassination and fear. They kill other Palestinians with guns and other things all the time. They shoot parents in front of their kids and vice verse to stay in power. The Iranian immamate and Qatari royals don’t pay people to post about it online all day, though, so Al Jazeera doesn’t write about it and Guardian doesn’t retweet about it, and that’s the truth of the matter.

I’m sorry, but reality absolutely disagrees:

We have eyewitnesses to Israeli snipers shooting kids, it is NOT Hamas doing this.

Ridiculous quotes. The doctors in Gaza certainly have strong imaginations, that or magical powers.
Unfortunately, wild conjecture and speculation by people soliciting donations is not evidence.
pathetic
They absolutely do depend on the US lol, it’s a vassal state.
Please educate yourself. Even Israeli academics admit this.

Israel is, depending on how you count it, between the #8th to #10th largest weapons dealer in the world. They don’t need OUR weapons.

What the hell are these links, “visual capitalist” lmao
Please use academic sources. A US colony isn’t going to survive without US support
Links supporting what I’m telling you, depending on how you count it, Israel is the #8, #9, #10 largest arms exporter in the world.
Us telling them “Yeah, well, we’re cutting you off…” means exactly nothing to them.
