Can you please tell me how else can you interpret that statement other than her asking for better footage of the atrocities committed by the Hamas?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hamas don't tend to film their own atrocities and they're not the only ones committing atrocities.

Israel is also committing atrocities and the oppressed citizens of Palestine are filming a lot of it. THAT'S the footage she asked to be recorded in landscape rather than portrait.

Perhaps still not in the best taste for a public platform, but it's a damn sight better than endorsing terrorism like this article and others are incorrectly claiming.

Why don't "freedom fighters" don't "fight" the atrocities rather than film them?

Keep in mind this was said in the context of the Hamas attack.

Seems like you people are just whitewashing her.

You're seriously asking why regular unarmed people are documenting human rights abuses rather than physically attack heavily armed soldiers who are in the middle of demonstrating how little Palestinian lives matter to them? Is that what you're actually asking?

Also, who says it was said in the context of the latest Hamas atrocity? Judging by the actual words and sentences, it would seem much more likely to be in response to bad video of the retaliatory atrocities of the Israeli oppressors.

Seems like you're very eager to tar and feather her for speaking up against your favorite ethnostate.

those regular civilians should hit the missiles with baseball bats, that'll show 'em. Much more effective than filming the atrocities being inflicted upon them and spreading the word online!

She said "freedom fighters", not "civilians".

In the largest apartheid concentration camp on earth, the civilian prisoners who document and expose their oppressors to the world are fighting for their freedom
