Corporations that specialize in manufacturing weapons of war are excited about Israel’s war on Gaza, letting their top investors know that huge profits are on the way. Already overflowing with cash thanks to seemingly endless U.S.

    Really it’s Hamas’s war on the Palestinians and Israelis, funded by Netanyahu. Hamas has been e.g. shooting Palestinian civilians who want to leave the front lines – the kind of thing Russia does to its draftees.

      Do you have any credible reports of this?

          An audio recording from an Israeli HUMINT division, the kind that exists to create and spread propaganda. Reminds me of the recording the IDF released of Hamas members admitting the hospital strike was their own, which according to many impartial people featured them speaking the wrong dialect and in the wrong accent.

            🤷

            All photos, videos, audio recordings, and testimonies, can be faked, manipulated or be a lie. What’s “credible” at this point?

            Some outlets published a video of that missile, with a trail coming from inside Gaza. Some have published the IDF’s photos with missile trajectories on them. Some have shown air photos of cars blocking the road “from North to South” Gaza. Some have published videos of missile impacts in the South. Some people have claimed to have gone South, only to get bombed and run back North.

            This is war.

            In the Ukrainian war, we still don’t have a credible source as to who blew up Nord Stream, and that’s been over a year ago already.

              Supposedly it was done by pro-Ukrainian forces, not specifically Ukraine themselves but possibly some mercenary group, possibly even the US. It’s kind of been brushed under the rug as otherwise it would damage support for Ukraine.

      What front lines? The whole of Gaza is encircled and the air strikes are occurring everywhere.
