    Not really.

    It is more that, over the past few weeks, all the major talking points have been “did Hamas rape that specific woman” or “did Hamas decapitate that baby or just set it on fire and kick it around a bit” and so forth. And, regardless of what actually happened with that hospital, “the entire world” is going to always assume it was Israel.

    This is an attempt to point out how incredibly stupid all that was. because maybe Hamas raped the woman they stripped beat, and maybe killed (have we heard anything since her mother claimed she was in a hospital?). They definitely have raped plenty of other women. Maybe Hamas decapitated those babies and maybe they just burned them alive and desecrated their corpses. But they have decapitated plenty of other babies and people. And so forth

    Which is less about “Well, the IDF is justified for all their crimes against humanity now” and more “Well. Both sides are pretty evil and I guess this is a war?”

      If Hamas has raped other women and decapitated other babies, then show them? Don’t twist something that didn’t happen into something else if you clearly have evidence anyway. The only reasonable assumption for why Israel would do this is that Israel is operating in bad faith.

        … That is exactly what is being done here?

        The footage, captured by security cameras, body cameras worn by the Hamas attackers, vehicle dashboard cameras, social media accounts and videos from mobile phones, left some reporters in tears. The material included the killing of children and decapitation of some victims.

        Another clip showed an Israeli woman inspecting a partially burned woman’s corpse to see if it was a family member. The victim’s dress was pulled up to her waist and her underpants had been removed. Maj Gen Mickey Edelstein, who briefed reporters after the viewing, said authorities had evidence of rape.

          Mickey Edelstein basically goes

          “Yeah dude there’s decapitated babies” then shows dead children and decapitated “victims.” Like, why didn’t you just say “decapitated adults” if you don’t have evidence of decapitated children?
