Bibi doing another bonkers speech.
"The War will continue until Hammas are discontinued and obliterated"
Translation: This war will continue until every Palestinian is ejected from Palestine and I can take over their land for my country.
Netanyahu's speech might have fucked it.
Grayzone is just straight propaganda, how are things like this still getting linked in here?
These are really bizarre articles.
The first one has already been debunked as Apache footage that came from the Iraq war. It's very interesting in that it's quite clearly an anti-NATO website, go figure? In any event, militaries do not routinely release HUD footage one month after the event, especially sensitive footage which will be classified. It also mentions a Police report, the Police do not investigate military matters in most countries because militaries have their own Police.
If the Socialist Worker has been issued with a D-notice, so what? D-notices are routinely issued for sensitive military operations, this is to protect the people involved and not to cover anything up. Clearly the Socialist Worker doesn't give a shit about the wellbeing of British military personnel on operations.
On the last one, the RAF routinely flies throughout the area. The aircraft in question may be supplying aid or who knows what. I really don't see the point that is trying to be made? The UK supplies relatively limited arms to Israel and certainly munitions will not be supplied using RAF aircraft.
It’s the conclusions drawn that are propaganda, and those conclusions are down to Grayzone.Firstly, the source of the information is not Grayzone but Haaretz, YNET, and Israeli National Radio.
Secondly, the comments were directly stated in verbatim and quote-unquoted by the Commander, Brigadier General, Minister, Captains and Lts. Those were presented by people in the frontline. It’s not propaganda if the terms are based, in verbatim, straight from the horses’ mouths.
I've read that sentence several times and I still don't get it. Has he missed a bit of it?

The Grayzone is a propaganda outlet which aligns with authoritarian regimes talking points and lies, this is enough for me to discount what they report as they cant be trusted. There is no way to know if they are being truthful with the information they present without me having to check all the sources myself as they have a history of misrepresenting things.
The linked article claims Hamas didnt deliberately attack the festival and that they just got caught in crossfire between police/military on the way somewhere else, which is a lie. I have seen a video recorded on the day by someone at the festival showing the paragliders arriving and immediately shooting at them, there was no police or military involved at that point. They try to muddy the story further by using a quote suggesting Hamas didnt know about the party in advance as though this absolves them, they still carried out the attack even if it wasnt originally planned. They finish suggesting "it was the Israeli military which bears responsibility for the Nova music festival killings — not Hamas" which tells you everything.
Col. Erez is a reservist and it isnt known if he was involved during this event. His quotes are entirely speculating on what might have happened rather than stating facts, it is possible he is correct but his quotes arnt definitive of anything and are again being used to suggest Israel are the ones to blame for the deaths and lessen Hamas' role.
Im not denying that Israel didnt kill some of their own but that The Grayzone is a terrible source of information with ulterior motives using out of context information to paint its own narrative. If it is true a more reputable source will be able to confirm it.
