A new low for Israel. How low can they go?

“Blindly believing”

Sounds like a genocide denier.

And RTÉ still using the Israel required “hamas-run health ministry” formulation.

Who do you think runs the Gaza Health Ministry?

Do you believe everything they say? How about the Israeli airstrike on the al-Ahli hospital where 500 were reported killed, later independently verified as a Palestinian rocket. How many civilians in Gaza were killed and injured by Hamas during anti-Hamas protests in 2019? None according to the Gaza Health Ministry.

How many Hamas combatants were killed since 2023? None according to the Gazan Health Ministry ,all the deaths were civilians.

You claimed the death figures for the Gaza genocide were made up.

But they weren’t.

Now you’re just lashing out because you’ve yet again exposed yourself as a fool.

It’s grimly hilarious you pretending to give a shit about people’s human rights in Iran when you cheerled the genocide in Gaza.

To be clear, the Gaza Health Ministry’s reporting on death tolls has always been acknowledged as accurate by Israel and the UN for any past conflicts and their reports were considered credible by the UN and any independent organisations during Israel’s genocide of the last two years. It’s not surprising to see Israel acknowledge their reports on tolls as accurate again, as they always have been.

But Labane says they’re not accurate.

Source: Labane.

I could never doubt Labane as a source.

Utter nonsense, you’re literally a Hamas spokesperson. Do you seriously question that Hamas run the Gaza Health Ministry? Just like they run everything with an iron fist in Gaza. Is it the official Irish government position now that Hamas / Hezbollah / the Iranian regime are the good guys?

Israel’s intelligence accept the Hamas Health Ministry numbers as they are the only reported numbers, and they are probably reasonably accurate in terms of overall casualties. How many of the casualties are Hamas combatants? None according to the Hamas Health Ministry. Just like no casualties in the crackdown on anti-Hamas protesters in 2019.

What’s your opinion on the 30-50K civilians killed in two days in Iran? You are strangely quiet on that one. Doesn’t fit with your Islamists are the good fuys narrative?

Labane unquestioningly dismisses figures accepted by the IDF and the UN and then not just unquestionally accepts figures put out by Iranian monarchists and a Saudi funded propaganda station, but embellishes them.

People focus on how easily young people are radicalised by social media, but an even bigger problem is with old people being radicalised by social media and far right corporate propaganda.

Looks like Israel have accepted the figures.

Disappointing that the Rte protocol of calling it the hamas run health service isn’t being used here

It’s remarkable how divided people have become on tfk. Lads refuse to admit they are wrong or change their mind regardless of any evidence.

A microcosm imo for what’s unfolded in America and a lot of western counties.

I wonder what triggered it all? An inability to deal with the lockdown during Covid possibly?

Labane has become more Israeli than the Israeli’s themselves

He prefers to be called Shoneen Labanowitz.

The distinction is between people who blindly believe a narrative because it sounds right or moral to them and most importantly agrees with their ideology, and those with at least a small bit of intelligence who can see through biased reporting and government bullshit. It’s not a left versus right issue, it’s a nodding donkey versus intelligence issue.

On Israel and the Gaza numbers specifically, I have no reason to doubt the reported number of 70,000 dead, it may be much higher due to bodies buried in rubble. That doesn’t mean I believe Hamas who claim none of their combatants were killed, or believe Israel who claim they were only targeting Hamas. The truth is somewhere in the middle, like all wars thousands of combatants and civilians dead. Name a war with no civilian deaths? The allies killed more in a few weeks of urban bombing in Germany in 1945 than Israel have killed in two years. America killed close to 200k in Japan in an afternoon.

The outrage though is selective, as similar or far greater casualties have happened in recent years (Sudan, Nigeria, Myanmar, Syria) and the nodding donkeys don’t care. Why? Because in their peabrains the Israelis are white Europeans (even though the majority of Israeli Jews are from the Middle East) so they must be the bad guys.

Not a peep out of the usual suspects about the slaughter in Iran, no protest marches, no little flags on bios. Why is that?

Prime example of nodding donkey.

This is so grimly funny when you are the prime example of exactly what you accuse others of.

You are living in a fairyland.

It’s all above my pay grade tbh. I find it hard to follow what is true and what is not.

The Iranian numbers if true are so sad. 30k in what two weeks? Trump was encouraging them to protest saying help was on its way. No idea if that actually increased the protesting but those numbers are just scary.

Labane is Hamas.

Trump hung the Iranian protestors out to dry by encouraging them, telling them “help is on the way”.

He has their blood on his hands.

George H.W. Bush did the same thing to the Iraqi Shias in 1991.

I’m no conspiracy theorist but you’d almost suspect some of conspiracy to try and discredit the Iranian protestors by the constant presence of Israeli flags at western demonstrations about Iran.

Trump is a Russia guy so who knows.

What will likely happen now is Trump will bomb Iran (again) and achieve fuck all. He might well kill Khameini, but he’ll only strengthen regime on the ground across Iran.

Its going to get a lot worse before it gets better, we are in June 1914 territory here, on the cusp of a savage war, and potential nuclear conflict, Western imperialism is about to face a reckoning
