sqgl, (edited ) to news in Video of Palestinians stripped, forced to sit outside by IDF soldiers raises ire

If it would have been 5°C this could ave caused serious medical issues. it would have been freezing, some of them could have reached life threatening hypothermia.

If it would have been hailing they could have been knocked unconscious.

If there was a hurricane they could have been dashed against the concrete walls.

If there was a meteorite they could have been pulverised.

If they didn’t have dicks they could have been women.

If they were 5 years old they would have been children.

If they had long necks and four legs they could have been giraffes.

your own picture shows 16°C

No, it shows 21⁰C. Why are you looking at the minimum temperature? That is totally irrelevant.

You can see from the photo that it is the middle of a winter’s day (sun is slightly lowered in the sky in winter at midday, not directly overhead).

On Thursday, a video emerged of men rounded up, forced to stand in formation, and then to sit down in the street

So let’s get even more accurate. That particular Thursday it was 22⁰C in the shade. Perfect temperature to be sitting out in the sun comfortably as it happens.

Thursday 7th December Data

There were dreadful bombings earlier and yet you want us to focus on this non-story.

it seems that they have gone from house to house, apartment to apartment and arrested all of the men who remain.

We just happened to see that video and then: Oh, crap. This is my brother; this is my nephew.

Is the journalist seriously implying this was unnecessary because the IDF could root out Hamas by just asking family members?

I don’t understand how to install it. Looked in Google Play store but didn’t find it there.

    He is a hero

    investigated too much

    No. That is bs. Only the prosecution said that. The article notes it too if you read carefully but deliberately (IMO) gives you the wrong impression.

    sqgl, (edited ) to news in Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu says Palestinian civilians being killed en masse are simply “collateral damage”

    Sorry. I misjudged you. Been on Reddit too long. No room for nuance there.

    The significance is that media is still often relaying Hamas claims as if fact and you might have been relying wholly on such reports.

    That hospital incident was clearly Hamas bs from the outset - no photos, a video of the carpark leaked within 24 hours, Al Jazeera themselves unwittingly streamed live footage of the misfiring rocket.

    I doubt it. He is fighting for political survival. He is probably a goner regardless but even he realises that to do what you suggest would be political suicide. He only cares about himself.

    Are you by any chance in denial of the PIJ missile which misfired into the hospital carpark a couple of weeks back? The one which Hamas lied was a direct hit by Israeli bombs killing 500?

    sqgl, (edited ) to news in Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu says Palestinian civilians being killed en masse are simply “collateral damage”

    Israel could have gone along with this and still attacked Hamas but I suppose they knew there would be Palestinian civilians killed so they wanted the excuse of “But muh hostages!”.

    I predict the swap will be done now that Israel needs no more excuse. Hamas leaders will be able to (or allowed to) flee, just like Arafat fled the Beirut siege, calling it a victory.

    What deal were Hamas offering at the start?

    sqgl, (edited ) to news in Hamas denies refusing fuel from Israel for Al-Shifa Hospital

    "This quantity is not enough to operate hospital generators for more than thirty minutes,” Hamas added

    This sounded like an exaggeration to me but it checks out by my calculations (correct me if I am wrong).

    This website calculates 300 litres would generate 2.85 MW hours. If what Hamas says is true then the hospital would have to be using 5.7 MW of power.

    I compared this with the state of Victoria (pop. 6.7M) Australia where the hospitals in total use 147MW of power. In non-wartime that Gazan hospital probably serves about ten times fewer people, which would be 14.7MW. Admittedly an Australian hospital’s power use is probably more profligate.

    Hamas & Likud think that way.

    Ironically the party folks killed on Oct 7th would have been anti-Likud types.
