The claim collapses under its own contradictions. If Gaza were truly facing mass starvation and total devastation, as described, how exactly are there cafés open to be “flattened”? You can’t have both a society on the brink of famine and an active café culture. More importantly, almost all information coming out of Gaza is filtered through Hamas a terrorist organization that controls the narrative, censors dissent, and manipulates images and reports for propaganda purposes. These dramatic claims about ambulances and aid convoys often originate from unverifiable sources aligned with Hamas. Meanwhile, Israel facilitates daily humanitarian aid, even as Hamas routinely steals supplies, hides weapons in civilian areas, and uses its own population as human shields. To ignore that reality and accept every accusation at face value is not seeking truth it’s parroting propaganda.
The above is a quote from you. i have made no changes and have nothing to add. Well actually, i will add this:
You completely shifted the conversation. I pointed out how it makes no sense to claim that Gaza is suffering mass famine while also talking about cafés being “flattened” a society can’t be starving and running cafés at the same time. Instead of addressing that contradiction, you jumped to a different topic about alleged IDF actions involving ambulances. Even if some of those claims hold weight, they don’t answer the original point. And let’s be clear: the Times of Israel isn’t confirming these things as facts, it’s reporting what others often the UN or Palestinian officials are claiming, and those sources frequently rely on information coming through Hamas, which controls the narrative in Gaza. That’s not objective truth, it’s repeating allegations. The IDF itself informed the UN about the burial site, which clearly doesn’t suggest a cover-up. War zones are chaotic, and unfortunately, tragic mistakes happen, but that’s exactly why investigations are ongoing. If your idea of truth is just echoing everything Hamas-linked sources say when it’s published in an Israeli paper, you’re not after truth, you’re just repeating propaganda. And the fact you switched topics only proves you couldn’t respond to the original contradiction.
I dont see the need to add anything here either.
If anyone else wants to try, feel free.
