    “IDF says…”

    Of course. What reason would they have to lie? /s

    Maybe we should wait until there’s been a more neutral investigation before deciding it’s one hundred percent true.

    What I never understand about major news stories is that so many people take everything they see at face value and then consider it indisputable fact. When there’s an international war going on, no one thinks that just maybe we’re only getting a fraction of reality communicated to us? That it must be the worst game of telephone in terms of accuracy? But then if someone even suggests that maybe there’s more to the story, they’re conspiracy theorists or they get told what “side” they’re on.

    We should all be at least somewhat discerning. There’s so many different actors with interests in this war. We have no idea what else could be going on that we will never, ever hear about, nor how much spin is being put on the stuff we do hear about.

      Do you really think only you had this thought? Don’t you think this is exactly what I think about your opinions? And telling this in my face literally does nothing because I am just as convinced that you gobble up Al-Jazeera/Hamas propaganda as, supposedly, I am gobbling up Israeli propaganda?

      Come down to Earth buddy

        You are wildly bad faith all over the comments, wow.

        You went too “down to earth” and need to pull your head outta sand or whatever dark hole you have it shoved into.
