My exact words were “Sunak kept that one quiet.” The only thing I am implying is that he kept that one quiet. I’m not sure how that then becomes the story was suppressed but if that’s your interpretation so be it. Sadly now the whole point of the original article has been lost over a pointless argument. For those interested, this is what it is about. https://amp.theguardian.com/law/article/2024/jul/08/labour-expected-to-drop-challenge-to-icc-over-netanyahu-arrest-warrant Edited July 8 by sadoldgit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, the IDF haven't said that this school was a base, they say it was one suspected Hamas member. One person. But no, nothing surprises me with the IDF.

But no, nothing surprises me with the IDF. Yes but in Gaza there is actually likely to be some merit in what the IDF are saying. Knowing the way all three of those organisations operate I'd say it's possible, bordering on likely that: Hamas deliberately places militants in schools and hospitals The IDF will go after them, not giving a f**k who gets hurt. Russia is quite happy to blow up a hospital full of children with cancer with no military objective, simply because they're c**ts. Who (and how many) the IDF were actually after we will probably never know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the 3 points, it's hard to disagree, although I'm not persuaded that 3 doesn't apply to some extent to the IDF but that they dress it up as point 2.

It's a deliberate tactic, one which they have used in previous conflicts like Syria. They do it to break the spirit of the opposition - the idea is to get them to think "if they will bomb a children's cancer hospital they are utterly ruthless and will destroy everything, we should give up". Granted you have to be an absolute cunt to to do that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
