    A Hamas assertion on Saturday that some hostages had died was rejected as "a blatant lie" by the Israeli military.

    The only way this could be a "blatant" lie is if the Israeli military had not already murdered a dozen of the hostages they claim to be rescuing. Of course it's not a lie at all but even if it was it would be an extremely plausible one.

      They've already admitted it! https://www.npr.org/2023/12/15/1219695220/israel-soldiers-mistakenly-kill-hostages-gaza . I'm sure there are more examples, but this is the main one I remember.

        Yes I am aware that's why I said even if this time was a lie it would by no means be a blatant one.

          Sorry, I know you know, my exclamation point was because I can't stop screaming about this and was not directed at you.

            All good this whole situation should make people furious. Though I do wish the same level of rage were directed at the US gov for the ongoing genocide of its indigenous population.

    Settlers have no redeeming qualities whatsoever, no one can change my mind.

    How anyone over there can think this is appropriate even remotely is mind numbing
