counterpoint: falsehoods do not need telling.


There’s no evidence anything was false in the actual documentary.


Primal was superb


What a show. The finale wasn't my favorite, but I still liked it. Everything else was outstanding.


I call it the yoghurt effect.


i'll bite. care to expand? is this a riff on copy-pasta or spaghetti code or what?


"There's no reason to waste time addressing those claims..."

that's convenient.


Well yes, besides the fact that there's absolutely zero proof for it they're also not bothering with that basis anymore.

If a news agency is anything other than a stenographer for their propaganda, they must be banned. Same thing any other fascist government does.


They had the misfortune of sharing the building with hamas terrorists. When I say misfortune, I mean AP knew but turned a blind eye.

That link shows no such thing.

> Senior defense establishment officials provided classified intelligence to Pentagon officials

It was classified intelligence. It wasn't that there was a sign in the lobby that said "3rd Floor: Associated Press, 4th Floor: Hamas".


sorry - hope this link helps. If you want to know more there's this website called google.com , where you can look for more information.

"AP Hamas claim panned, Blinken’s ‘seen no evidence’ of presence in their HQ" (May 2021) https://nypost.com/2021/05/17/ap-slammed-for-claiming-it-was...


lmao is this a joke? This contradicts what you said.

There's "secret evidence" but Blinken denied seeing it.

The evidence is a secret, and even the people who have seen it are a secret! But we should totally just take Israels word for it, everyone except them will lie pathologically.


LOL, what? I quoted the article YOU posted. Maybe you should have posted this one, then...

which also doesn't say what you say and is basically a hit piece.

Commentators on a website say it's laughable?

It literally has the US Secretary of State, forget AP, saying they had no evidence of it either, nor had they been shown it.

But AP MUST have known, right? Right?


"absence of evidence is not evidence of absence"

in any case, I doubt there is any proof that I could offer that would be enough to change your mind. you already know what you want to believe, so this is just online pugilism.

be well !


> "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence"

lmao good you admit that there's no evidence. I guess you just believe this on faith due to your religious beliefs.

Going to have to do better than that if you want to use it as justification for blowing up billions.


They were never even clear about what the allegations were, but people involved that it was (at most) a media office, so even then it still wouldn't be a media office under any reasonable standard. (Meanwhile, check out where the IDF headquarters is located).


I get that in polar arguments, people tend to minimize and accentuate arguments.

The link doesnt back the claim in the 1st sentence.

Human shields irrespective of the case here are victims IMHO not deserving of the same treatment as those using them.

There are other articles claiming, the 2nd phase continued after journalists reached out for a delay


Wow that's crazy how literally every single person except IDF intelligence was willing to lie about it.


it's crazy indeed, the lengths hamas will go to protect their image.

"Hamas threatening journalists in Gaza who expose abuse of civilians" (2014)

https://www.timesofisrael.com/hamas-threatening-journalists-...


Wow journalists and media being shut down? That's crazy. Anyway what's this post about.


Similar to "CRTC bans Russian state-controlled TV channels RT, RT France from Canadian airwaves", but with the addition of Al Jazeera (funded by Qatar) leaking sensitive information to enemies of Israel, during a war.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/crtc-russia-today-broadcast...


there's an even simpler solution to the war in gaza: have hamas release all the hostages.


That won't stop the hostilities. Israel has two stated objectives: free the hostages and eliminate Hamas. The Israeli government is very unlikely to agree to a ceasefire in return for the hostages.


> won't stop the hostilities

It would undermine a lot of Israel’s international support. At the end of the day, the Houthis aren’t in Gaza. Them raising random asks is orthogonal to the security threat they pose. Piracy is piracy.


Freeing the hostages AND giving up their weapons AND committing to not attack Israel again will end the war.


Even keeping their weapons but saying they'll try to live in peace with Israel would be a huge change. However it's part of Hamas's founding charter to destroy Israel and they aren't prepared to give it up, which then leads the the jolly situation we have now.


But gazans wont do that. They live in a prison camp, why would they ever commit to not attacking Israel again?


thank you for putting it in such crips words


wasn't RSS meant to be an answer to this issue?


RSS is good but unfortunately falls short for the building a monopoly use case. Such a shame. If only it were a more adaptable protocol.


this word (as several others) made its way into Hebrew.
