Just to be clear, are you openly stating that you agree that someone who doesn't engage in blood libel will be banned?

If they had done this they would be accused of ethnic cleansing as well as genocide. the negev isn't an altogether welcoming place, any death natural or otherwise that happened there would be blamed on the jews as proof and it would be an even bigger PR disaster. Egypt and the sinai would have a similar problem. Even Trump's recent suggestion of temporary resettlement to a populated area has been met with calls of ethnic cleansing and genocide. Most of the supposed supporters of the palestinian people don't care so much about their fate so much as they hate Jews and love the easy cudgel they make for attacking jews.

Putting that aside, no one, not Hamas, not the Israeli public, not Netanyahu, and certainly not the IDF, not any neighboring countries, not the wider world believed the war would drag on this long. Everyone thought it would be over fairly soon. Hamas probably didn't think there would be a war because israel itself was on the brink of a civil war, the Israeli public with their strong belief in their military might thought the war would be over before the new year and the IDF and politicians (BN included) likely had a similar belief, that A) Hamas didn't have an apatite for a long war, and B) the IDF would be able to quickly return the hostages. Everyone else also believed in the might of a stronger more organized force against a much weaker force that supposedly also had to care for their own people.

Instead Hamas showed they had no concern for their own people, and they had significantly deeper fortifications than the israeli security establishment knew about. So here we are almost two years later, and no end in sight.

literally just read the articles you're sharing, like just read the quotes you're quoting... none talk about 40 beheaded babies.

I've never seen someone bring proofs against themselves and be so kind as to highlight the exact place that disproves their own argument. good job

> As for the notion that a reporter mangled the claim about 50 beheaded babies - that just isn’t true. People from IDF spokespeople to Biden have propagated this lie.

This is plainly false. No other argument is needed with you because you continue to make totally false claims.

Politifact is hardly an impartial source. If I have to explain why, there's no reason to even continue this conversation.

Additionally, bringing in the "50 beheaded babies" story and calling it the most infamous hoax very clearly shows where you get your news from... and it's not trustworthy sources. That was a strawman hoax that only circulated as a debunked hoax on Jew-hating media, it started as a intentional misunderstanding of a reporter's claim. There never was a claim of 50 beheaded babies.

There is no genocide and all your "well supported facts" are either intentionally false statements that aren't facts at all or twisted to support your narrative. The reality is that there has always been more than enough food and water in gaza, war involves death and destruction and doesn't point to genocide which requires both intent and follow through neither of which are present from the Israeli side. Though they are present among anti-zionists and all of Israel's enemies both in their daily rhetoric (from the river to the sea, globalize the intifada, Death to Israel, etc) and in their daily attempts to kill as many jews as possible (missiles and rockets targeting civilian population centers, stabbing attacks, bus bombs, RPGs at school buses, RPGs at homes, shooting civilian cars, etc).

The narrative that there is a genocide in gaza has lost all credibility. The gazan population has grown since the war started, its completely ludicrous to claim a genocide while the population is literally growing. People have been making claims of genocide since Israel took over in '67, it never made any sense then and it makes even less sense today. People who make such claims should be seen for what they are: charlatans and liars looking to discredit zionists and jews everywhere.

> So does the US.

nope.

> You are literally calling for the annihilation of their state here.

Nope, people are only calling for the unpopular regime to be replaced by a popular one.

> There is definitely a cold war going on between Israel and Iran.

Hezbollah is an actual arm of the IRGC so it's a hot war and has been for 25+ years.

Just so we're clear every time they said this, they also did something to prevent it from actually happening, whether that's stuxnet, targeted assassinations, other forms of sabotage, they always found a way to push that timeline out, but they couldn't do it indefinitely.

The same logic could be applied to Russia and China

honestly, I wouldn't engage with runarburg anymore, looking at his comments history, he's got some kinda unhealthy obsession with jews and israel. nearly all his submissions are anti-jewish iranian propoganda, he spends a lot of time spreading totally false nonsense about jews, you're not really gonna get anywhere with him.
