Hamas has thousands of "command centers" it being a very top heavy organization and all. Its estimated for every Hamas soldier there's 10,000 managers - many of them women and toddlers - unanimously authorizing every war crime committed by Hamas.

The claims relate to an eight-day operation by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) at the Kamal Adwan Hospital last week, which the military alleges was being used as a command and control center by Hamas.

Ohh another command and control center, the beating heart of Hamas operation.

If you guys don't feel good, be sure to visit your local Hamas command and control center.

Joke aside, the whole article is disturbing as fuck.

I don't understand why people believe them.

When Russia bombed civilian churches, apartments, hospitals, and said they were being used as military command centers and such, nobody believed them, it was an obvious lie.

But when Israel says it the whole world just says "Wow makes perfect sense, good job!"

Because calling something that Israel does bad is obviously antisemitic!

This goes deeper than many people realize. Netanyahu has spent the last couple decades getting criticism of the Israeli government codified as anti-semitism in countries around the world. You can actually lose government funding in many Western countries for "anti-semitism" that's just pointing out the Israeli government is bad.

Israel put up this whole thing about Tunnels. The thing is, Hamas does use tunnels. But Israel took that as an excuse to bomb anything that even looked like a tunnel on a drone video feed. With 2,000 pound bombs because of course every tunnel in Gaza is obviously super fortified.

The problem with that logic is that Gaza did have modern infrastructure. That means basements, under ground maintenance tunnels, or even just a shelter because Israel bombs Gaza about as often as a Tornado hits in the Midwest. With nothing more than a "hatch" or "tunnel entrance" as evidence, it's 100% war crime territory. But that requires people to actually think.

Most people aren't critical of the majority of the media they consume. If you live in a Western country, chances are that the media you get your news from frames Russia's invasion of Ukraine as illegal and immoral, and Israel's invasion of Gaza as legitimate self-defense.
