    Zero video or photo evidence, all claims lead to a single unreliable israeli propaganda site called Channel 12.

    No mention of the boy on any non israeli “news” site.

    What happened to talking about unreliable sources? I guess any IDF propaganda without evidence is completely fine but anti israel news with picture and video evidence isn’t reliable.

    Why is this source even allowed? They provided no real evidence other than pointing to Channel 12.

      Is there a video? I can’t see it on Channel 12, only snapshots of it. Maybe because I’m on mobile.

      Even if there were evidence people would claim it’s IDF fake. People don’t care about evidence for this or that, they picked sides long time ago and are busy justifying their beliefs. Commenting on anything Israel related is pointless. War will develop the way military thinks it should regardless of what others write in some forum or think.

    The cognitive dissonance in the comments is pathetic as always. Fuck the IDF but also fuck Hamas. Anything negative on Hamas is instantly discredited until the proof is unquestionable.

    So much good faith in Hamas when they don’t deal in good faith themselves:

    https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/hamas-islamic-jihad-reject-giving-up-power-return-permanent-ceasefire-egyptian-2023-12-25/

    CAIRO, Dec 25 (Reuters) - Hamas and the allied Islamic Jihad have rejected an Egyptian proposal that they relinquish power in the Gaza Strip in return for a permanent ceasefire, two Egyptian security sources told Reuters on Monday.

    Hamas is 100% continuing this war just like the IDF is, they are both disgusting and are using the Palestinian people as the pawns

      I agree. 100%. Like YES, Israel is being maximum scum by retaliating with excessive force. We get it, they have all the “1st world countries” funding them. They keep murdering people with a crazy multiplier compared to Palestine.

      But to pretend that Hamas is not at all culpable or disgusting for their OWN actions is not it.

      Hamas and the PA don’t control countries. They control internally occupied territories under military control of Israel (different degrees in Gaza and the West Bank), which controls all imports, exports, food, water, travel, etc of the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Gaza is literally undergoing famine extreme water scarcity, with extremely limited medical aid by the design of Israel. Israel has been in complete control, either internally or externally, of Gaza and the West Bank since 1967

      International pressure is how this ends, like it did with South Africa

      They are not the same even if there’s bad guys on both sides. Israel is a rich state with an advanced military that tries to keep the other side in the relative stone age without any resources whatsoever. It is becoming clearer every day that this is meant to drive Gazans off of their own land, into Egypt or dead, doesn’t matter

          But then they’re not, are they? One is a supposedly civilized democracy and the other is brutally oppressed by the first. This “both sides” stuff is trying to ignore that one side hass all the power here to end the conflict and the other is just trying to survive. In such a situation you have to acknowledge that actions of Hamas and Palestinian are not completely free but a result of the situation Israel put them in. You can’t blame Palestinians for resisting their genocide. Of course things get ugly, they know what’s up

            No side has the power to end the conflict. Israel could stop killing palestinians and let Gaza be. This works until Hamas commits the next terror act against Israel. Both sides are bad because both want the total destruction of the other.

              Stopping killing Palestinians wouldn’t be the end to the conflict, though, so it makes sense that it wouldn’t end hostilities. The end to the conflict would be the end of the ethnostate and institution of a secular society with equal rights to all that recognizes the right of return for Palestinians just as it does for people of Jewish descent. That isn’t a simple solution Netanyahu could do on his own, but it is definitely within the powers of the Israeli state, were there the will or desire.

            Dude… you’re NOT who I was asking to weigh in here…. So fuck off. I don’t care for your bias in the matter. You’re not changing my mind. I was simply asking if anyone else is seeing this conflict as both sides suck.

            Which they do.

            If you don’t like it, move on.

                You must have missed the part where I explained that. Let’s try again and see if this helps. So, what I was was:

                Can I get a show of hands from the people that think in a larger picture…. BOTH sides in this conflict are the bad guys?

                Hmmm…. It seems I was asking to hear from people that think there’s enough evidence and history to suggest that BOTH sides have been bad guys in this. Now, clearly, one with a decent enough reading comprehension skill, present company excluded- would extrapolate from this that I wasn’t looking to have people crying about how “my side is the good guys tho!”

                I hope this helps.

    This is a weird story, just because it takes place in front a backdrop of widespread child death and social collapse.

    The thing is, it’s STILL a tragedy. It just feels odd. Like reporting “American soldier from Illinois drowns during operation in Normandie” or “Woman killed in vehicular accident outside Bartertown”.

    Like… that’s terrible, but they’re in the midst of complete social collapse. There’s no food or water, and also a kid dies in Gaza every 15 minutes. So again, it’s really heartbreaking that this kind – Ahmed Bracha – died. It’s just hard to figure how one writes an article about this particular child dying while apparently trying to get food among so many corpses of children trying to get food.

    There needs to be a ceasefire. The siege must end. Hostages on both sides need to go home. This is truly atrocious.

        I reject the framing of “Neither side”: there are not two sides, there are many.

        First, I think what you mean is that the Netanyahu government and Sinwar’s Hamas don’t want a ceasefire. And technically, it’s more accurate to say that neither side wants a ceasefire along the terms offered by the other.

        Secondly, though, I don’t support either of these two parties. I didn’t say “there needs to be a ceasefire when Hamas and Likud feel like it”. Both sides are currently run by war criminals, and the matter shouldn’t be in their hands.

        I’m an American Jew, and my primary interest is compelling my president and government to stop providing material/logistical/political support for genocide. I want conditions on aid to Israel, and a formal declaration that the US position is that the war has gone far beyond securing Israel’s safety and is clearly destabilizing the security of Israel, the US, and the region (not to mention Palestinian noncombatants). And if Netanyahu and Sinwar don’t like it, that’s good because their interests are diametrically opposed to mine.

    Hopefully now we can all be on the same page that Hamas and the IDF are both bad guys, and they both hurt the Palestinian people. Hamas less so, but as this story illustrates, they are no friend to Palestinians.

    This fits with a report from the beginning of the war that said Hamas had stockpiles of food, water, and medicine that they were keeping just for themselves while Israel tried to starve the Palestinians to death.

    The original reporting this is coming do appear to be in Gaza, but are unattributed as to who filmed them. It’s also unclear if these videos were reported locally first and picked up, or if they were sent directly to N12.

      So are you saying that someone in Gaza filmed this and went ahead and sent it to an Israeli news channel?

        I think it’s more likely they were spread through the various Telegram “news” channels and then picked up after verifying the source or at least the video/images - checking for language/location/time/that they actually show what was claimed.
