  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

IDF soldier dies after being infected by dangerous fungus during Gaza ground operation

Around ten soldiers are believed to have been infected with the same fungus and are undergoing treatment in Israel
The source of the fungus is believed to be ground soil that had been contaminated with sewage waste.
Biological Warfare who knows? This stuff can get out of hand like Covid.

In the fog of war propaganda is a tool ...
True, just as I and others have already pointed out in this thread.
Most Israeli citizens in the Kibbutz were killed by IDF tank fire, machine-gun fire, and hellfire missiles fired from Israeli Apache helicopters. ...
Is this just more "fog of war propaganda"?
Israel has been killing Iranian troops and militias for several years in Syria without any response from Iran.
Still more "fog of war propaganda"?

How does one distinguish between "fog of war propaganda" and the truth? As certainty is not possible, in law there are 2 levels of proof:
  • Preponderance of evidence.
  • Beyond a reasonable doubt.
It seems to me that until an accusation on either side is prosecuted fairly and an authority renders a verdict, all these reports of war crimes remain merely accusations. Further, as these accusations are of war crimes, the higher standard of beyond a reasonable doubt applies.

The White House has previously confirmed that Hamas uses Gaza's largest hospital, al-Shifa, as an operations base. Hamas also uses the tunnels beneath the hospital for military operations and to maintain control over hostages.

I never believed the 40 babies being beheaded garbage, that obvious propaganda was investigated early on by several independent media sources. Of course the mainstream media picked up the story as truth because it fits the narrative their handlers wanted. The military industrial complex own the mainstream media as does the pharmaceutical corporations.

Nobody can dispute the burned cars were a product of hellfire missiles. The kibbutz with homes reduced to rubble when Hamas had nothing but small arms and rpg's. Obviously these homes were hit by Israeli tank fire. The many Israeli soldiers and civilians burnt beyond recognition or blown to pieces were also a direct result of hellfire missiles or incendiary artillery or tank rounds fired by the Israeli forces.

We could be stupid enough to believe the wild propaganda being pushed by Israel or we can look at the verifiable evidence. Christian sources in Gaza even identify the fact that what is going on in Gaza is a genocide. That is an undisputed fact that we can physically see for ourselves.

Oh goodie, the White House never lies! We can always trust our government to tell us the truth.

Could be the depleted uranium tank and artillery shells we provided Israel to kill and poison generations of Palestinians. The United States did this to Iraq, Libya, Syria, and many other nations where they used false intelligence to justify war.

And flame throwers, those Jews love using flame on people. I don't believe a stinking word that comes out of a lying Jews mouth, I'll bet they staged the whole thing so they could fulfill their savage blood lust for killing and to cancel Christmas. Just look what the Jews did to Germany. They already killed Jesus, what other satanic plans do these monsters have in store for us.

I like satire. Some people don't. Used correctly it's like a thin blade between the ribs. The recipient isn't sure he (or she) has been shivved. As opposed to being clubbed to death.

Just sayin' is all.

I think a clubbing was deserved in this case.

Funny, did not see any gas packs on Hamas as they invaded. Bodies blown to bits? I am sure that was flame throwers too! Some people are to ignorant to see the propaganda being used to justify an ongoing genocide against the Palestinians. I served in the military. I know what tank shells and hellfire missiles can do. Hostages that were released even testified that the IDF used tank fire on their homes as well as Apache helicopters in action. Don't be an idiot, do some research.

You are new here, so you may not be aware, but over here, we follow Hitchen's razor: "what can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence."

And no, just claiming things and telling people to do "research" (which usually amounts to visiting the same hokum sites they frequent) isn't research.

I too have served in the military, and as a matter of fact, I'm still serving, currently with the Eisenhower strike group shooting down missiles and drones. I also know what tank shells and hellfire missiles can do, surprisingly most rounds carried by tanks do very little damage to structures. If the IDF was doing "genocide" then the death toll would be closer to one million by now. I don't mind people being a mouthpiece for Hamas, they need all the help they can get, my state is soon to be the next Palestinian Homeland (Michigan). Anyways, have a great day and keep on keeping on.

I would say Israeli hostages giving video testimony is pretty convincing to me.

That would of course depend on what kind of shells you are using in the Merkava Tanks. Israel needs military aid so employing propaganda is their tool to gain it. As far as the U.S., even our allies are hesitant to join in this campaign. Aircraft Carriers are dinosaurs much like Tanks in modern warfare. Just keep your head on a swivel.

Love the use of 2 million dollar missiles to shoot down 5 thousand dollar drones. All of us taxpayers are so proud.

It might be convincing to other people, too, if you shared your sources instead of just making claims.

The iron dome missiles cost about 80.000 dollar, not 2 million.


Israel is also using the laser defence systems "Iron Beam", which only costs about 2k per shot.


See, this is what I mean with quoting your evidence. Please follow this example, and people will no longer disregard what you write out of hand and ignore you.
