Now we are starting to close in on war crime territory. White phosphorus is very indiscriminate, especially in a densely populated area: https://www.hrw.org/news/2023/10/12/israel-white-phosphorus-used-gaza-lebanon

Furthermore, Israel has dropped 6,000 bombs into Gaza in the first 6 days.

For comparison, during the air campaign against ISIS in 2014-19, the US-led coalition dropped 2,000-5,000 munitions per month across all of Iraq and Syria.

US monthly bomb drops only exceeded 4,000 during the 2017 destruction of Raqqa.


The US dropped just 7,400 munitions in the "busiest" year in Afghanistan(2019).
 
Qatar, a country with questionable human rights violations, having their state-owned media report on Israel. And according to MBFC that state-run media has an opinion page that “exhibits significant bias against Israel”.

hmmmm. Sounds credible.
credible to you or not, hard to ignore the signs...but here's more:

ISRAEL’S APARTHEID AGAINST PALESTINIANS amnesty international

A Threshold Crossed Israeli Authorities and the Crimes of Apartheid and Persecution human rights watch

Israel’s occupation of Palestinian Territory is ‘apartheid’: UN rights expert un news

there's more, but...
 
I will never make a claim that I am an Israel/Palestine expert. But consuming items from Qatar state run media or Amnesty International and believing it is unbiased news is wrong. It is propaganda. And in this case, dangerous propaganda.

I'm sure you will/can find something wrong with all these sites...keep your head in the sand...

Amnesty International – Bias and Credibility
  • Overall, we rate Amnesty International Left-Center Biased based on political advocacy that favors liberal policy. We also rate them High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing and a reasonable fact check record.

It is not keeping head in the sand. It is not drinking the kool-aid from well-known biased propaganda sources.

If someone linked a video titled “Palestinians are the cause of the War” produced by the Jewish Defense League would you trust it to have unbiased news? And admonish others that question its veracity due to source?

I'm OK with you not agreeing with video...but the other sources say the same things...

It was mentioned earlier in this thread, but Amnesty International is strongly anti-Israel. Lots of articles and evidence.

At one point last year (I can’t remember exactly when) all Jewish members of the US House from both parties signed a letter condemning Amnesty International’s head and called his views anti-Semitic.

of course they did...Amnesty International came out with a report on Israel's apartheid...shocking that Jewish congress members didn't like that...and yes, they said the report was spreading antisemitism...that's like having a media group saying US is treating racial groups differently pre-Civil Rights Act of 1964 and white congress people saying 'nope' and 'your spreading racial divide'...not buying it...
I'll just go on record as saying I believe in Israel's apartheid against Palestinians, and I believe you are on opposite side...Agree to disagree...
 
I can’t believe I’m saying this but Jake Tapper makes an excellent point. The cold hard facts are that nobody wants the Palestinian people except the ones using them as human shields. All of the countries Jake mentioned want the the Palestians right where they are. Their hatred for Jews is all consuming and the Palestinians are simply cannon fodder. “Israel uses their weapons to protect their citizens. Palestinians use their citizens to protect their weapons.” Quote by some guy I heard this week.
