This gas, however, is supposed to be white phosphorous.

(56,840 posts)Today, Israel announced that anyone left in Gaza will be considered a terrorist. That means children and the elderlythe population who has been the targets since the war (read genocide) began.

A "mainstream news source" is very difficult when Israel refuses to allow journalists to enter Gaza, and has killed hundreds who dared to enter. Why do you suppose they would want the outside world from knowing what is happening there?
Refusing to believe anything because of the absence of a mainstream news source is to turn a blind eye to the truth.

BTW, there are also reports that Israeli drones are sniping Palestinian children. Wish I could provide a link . . . .

... the reader as is also evident from the video: one segment of the video has people running around in that "gas", and they seem essentially unaffected. So, your implication that this relates to WWII is hyperbolic--if that is stated in its kindest form.
At one point in the video, it seems that they are discussing Gaza's "old town". Can you please post a complete translation? Also, how are you sure that you are not just posting Hamas propaganda? One "guy" on Twitter is hardly a securely reliable source.
Posting that OP and headline seems not to be a whole lot better than what was seen when Trump was pushing "They're eating the cats. They're eating the dogs."

(4,280 posts)... what the video presents with what claims are made in the OP. At least, you are not addressing that. If you wish to lie to yourself about that OP for whatever reasons, that is purely your business, but it does not make either what you claim or the statements in OP true , no matter how you would choose to deflect. So, go ahead and be sarcastic: just recall that it is the easiest to lie to yourself, even if you are being clever about it.

(10,413 posts)The air quality must be so toxic - esp for anyone with allergies. There have been videos of kids having trouble breathing Remember all the cancers in the 911 responders.
The flotilla people have accused Israel of spraying toxic stuff on them in the past. Today they said the were sprayed with some kind of irritant.
Remember when skunktrucks were going thru West Bank many times in 1914, 1015, and 1917 spraying chemicals that smelled like feces documented by Reuters and Al Jazeera. Who does this???

(23,459 posts)Every single man woman and child in Gaza will be expelled or killed, their land will be taken, their homes razed, and the land will then be sold off to Trump's and Netanyahu's rich financiers to develop into resorts. Everything else they say is just a distraction, we already know their plan.
And I think the West Bank is next.
The last chance anyone in the US had to do anything to stop this was in November of 2024.

(22,024 posts)Despite the claim of being apolitical and not taking sides the +972 magazine only seems to have articles critical of Israel. A trend that pre-dates the current conflict by at least a decade.
The second article starts with the fallacy that white phosphorus is a band munition; its use is restricted not prohibited.
In the interest of seeking the truth , however I went to Al Jazeera figuring if any news source would support these accusations , they would be covering an Israeli gas attack on Gazan civilians. I could locate no Al Jazeera report of Israel using gasses now or in the past, in Gaza

(56,840 posts)along with Reuters' journalists and the vast majority of those entering Gaza, which you well know. The rest have been banned.
That you give Israel the benefit of the doubt in the midst of a genocide is shocking. You nitpick to ignore the truth. Israel's stated policy is to remove or exterminate ALL Gazans, which you also know since they have announced it. Just this week they announced that any Gazans remaining in their homeland would be considered terrorists and killed, yet they have nowhere to go. The notion that a news outlet should pretend there is some sort of moral equivalency between massacring an entire population and the victims of those killings is morally repugnant. Their responsibility is to tell the truth, and our responsibility as human beings is to denounce genocide.

Do you know anything about US policy toward Israel and how our elected representatives vote on the issue?
Have they denounced the targeting of children, something multiple doctors have testified to?

https://www.dailysabah.com/world/mid-east/nothing-justifies-targeting-children-in-gaza-greek-pm-mitsotakis-says
Have they announced the burning of homes and tents, with people in them, in safe zones? https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/gaza-mawasi-tent-camp-strike-israel-1.7402036
Israel's stated policy is to remove or kill Gazans, as they reaffirmed in the last couple of days. Israel is in the midst of committing genocide; giving them the benefit of the doubt is strange indeed.

(13,527 posts)... genocide. That would be a terrible thing to say or even imply about our elected Dem leaders.
