@israel @palestine some sources reported that 2 hostages rescued from an apartment in Rafah - not confirmed
@Sherifazuhur @israel @palestine It's been all over Israeli media and it's not the sort of thing the IDF can lie about - the hostages have families and friends. For example, here's JPost: https://www.jpost.com/israel-hamas-war/article-786433
@Alon @israel @palestine yes - it simply wasn’t posted yet by sources that I trust - of course, naturally one must kill 100+ and bomb a mosque to carry out a rescue in one apartment
@Sherifazuhur @israel @palestine Yeah, the point is that you should trust Israeli media more when its reporting on IDF ops.
@israel @Alon @palestine The opposite. From Day 2 when I had to appear on BBC and ISR IDF spokesman was on, I’ve heard nothing but lies, deflections and twists - this idea that a rescue requires massive bombardments as a “distraction” is a good example
@Sherifazuhur @israel @palestine Okay, but the rescue was not something Israel could fake. The hostages would have to be produced, for example.
@Alon @Sherifazuhur @israel @palestine indeed if the IDF is announcing something that cannot be faked and would be extremely detrimental to them among their own admirers if found untrue, they have more credibility.
the how and why part, of course, could still be false.
@matunos @palestine @Alon @israel I’m sorry - I’ve seen mountains of false evidence and it has not abated since 7 Oct. General rule: do not turn to US PAO, or the Egyptian army spokesman or the Shin Bet account for anything but the current official statement which is ephemeral (will change by tomorrow) but part of the info war. All the lies or half lies on tunnels have a purpose - to justify flattening arial bombardment & ground invasions to then “clean out” tunnels. Negotiating would be far preferable.
@Alon @matunos @israel @palestine *which is part of the information war*
@Sherifazuhur @Alon @matunos @israel @palestine As the old adage goes, "truth is the first casualty of warfare".
It's always good advice to consider the motivations and biases of any report, and especially so when it's coming from one of the parties of a conflict.

See how quickly everyone forgot about the massive depopulation of Ukraine? It is still ongoing. But focus is now on Gaza while billions continue to get laundered from US to Ukraine.
The enmity between Washington and Kremlin is kabuki theater. The incompetence of the Biden regime is theater. Biden and friends in Washington are fully competent megalomaniacs and grifters playing mind games with the idiocratic electorate.
The regime wants us to think Biden administration is incompetent. They are actors putting on a deliberate show of incompetence. If Joe was so fragile that he was really falling down the stairs they would never let him near stairs without an aid. If he really was senile and mentally incapable with such memory problems he would have been article 25'd a long time ago. Such nincompoop and oopsie moments are planned for the cameras.
The genocide in Gaza was planned already when the Ukraine conflict was planned. They did the same type of joint planning during the two world wars to exterminate tens of millions Germans, Franks, and Poles in the heart of Europe. This was done to establish and strengthen the Soviet Union so Wall Street could invest without consequences. It is also done to kill off the Alpha males in all involved countries who jump to the front of the line to 'fight the enemy'. This weakens and thins the populations of all countries involved to keep the ruling class in control.
Millions of mockingbirds will give play-by-play gossip and opinions on all the fine details that don't matter while ignoring again the words of John Fitzgerald Kennedy:
"For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence -- on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed. It conducts the Cold War, in short, with a war-time discipline no democracy would ever hope or wish to match."
The rulers who appear to be opponents are mostly working in cahoots to deceive the public and create a false history of events. This manufactures consent from the next generation.
