In 2008 when “Israel” broke the ceasefire with Hamas, the IOF claimed Hamas were using human shields. After much investigation by the UN and Amnesty International, not only was it found that these allegation were unfounded it also found that the IOF used human shields.

The excerpt is from “Gaza: an inquest into its martyrdom” by Norman Finkelstein.

    I’ve noticed a theme with them is that when they make a false claim about Hamas, it’s almost the next thing they’ll do, when they claimed Hamas targeted schools they targeted schools in Gaza.

    Is it AlWaYs PRoJectIoN? No, no it is not. If you try to demonize an entire people, someone like me will come along and call you a dumdum. You are a dumdum.

      The hilarious irony being that Israel quite literally demonizes an entire people, so you look like a dumbfuck saying this. You are a dumbfuck

      Do you mind explaining if it is just a coincidence that you happen to be complaining about this post while your comment history shows you on world news at lemmy.ml denying the ongoing genocide in Gaza, calling the credibility of peoplesdispatch.org into question over an article showing the genocidal effects of the US blockade of Cuba, and trolling a post on hexbear about the IOF murdering babies in hospitals?

      With your history of genocide denial on this platform i would think twice before coming to lemmygrad and defending the Zionist occupation regime.

      No, no it is not.

      Ok then give me an example of a crime they accuse their enemies of that they have not themselves committed or are committing on an even bigger scale.

      If you try to demonize an entire people

      Zionism is an ideology not a people, and it is perfectly legitimate to demonize an entire ideology, we do it to Nazism all the time. Or are you coming here to try and claim that there are good Nazis?

      Are you here to cry that i am being mean and unfair toward genocidal, ethno-supremacist ideologies?

      And why are you responding exclusively to the title and conveniently ignoring the indisputably damning content of the post which shows a textbook example of the kind of projection which the title talks about?
