Isn’t this the video where they used things like a calendar with regular dates and claimed it was a list of Hamas members?
The entire area they showed looked like the power area of the hospital’s basement, with various things on the walls and such that indicate hospital and nothing else.
Their only “evidence” in the videos was the pile of guns they showed, which…isn’t really evidence of anything, especially since we have no way to tell if those were planted or not.
Reminds me of Russia’s failed attempt to demonstrate that Nazis were in Ukraine by releasing photos of a ‘bust’ that was obviously staged and includes gems like multiple copies of The Sims video game which were supposed to be sim cards.
Another video distributed by Russian state news agency RIA showed an inscription in an unidentified book supposedly recovered in the arrest — signed in Russian with the words “signature illegible.”
This whole article is just bonkers.
It’s so surreal it kind of makes me wonder if it’s really a false flag, because they can’t be that incompetent… Right?
It’s not about being good. It’s about generating headlines.
Something about generating doubt, uncertainty and cynicism.
Or they’re just that incompetent. I could see that too
I mean, there are definitely Nazis fighting for Ukraine. As there were Nazis fighting for Wagner, it’s not exactly a secret and they have the symbols right on their uniforms.
Lol, yeah. I just had to explain how that kind of manipulation works.
Propaganda is a powerful force when it’s used to reinforce an existing bias. Facts are irrelevant because you saw what you wanted to see.
Governments play the propaganda war hard. I am not picking sides over it: It is what it is.
Edit: Confirmation bias. That is the phrase I was referring to.
Yes lol. Apparently a terrorist militia command center is less well armed than a random house in Arizona. If you watch this video and are convinced by it, I have a bridge to sell you.
Especially with this coming on the heels of that almost pristine copy of Mein Kampf they were pushing as belonging to a Hamas member in a children’s room the IDF partially blew up.
There’s also that video of a “nurse” in perfectly clean scurbs with an Israeli accent that none of the real staff had ever seen before crying that Hamas had taken over the hospital.
Wow this whole thread is Hamas supporters! /s
It’s hilariously bad, but you know brown people bad, Israel good apparently.
No, they didn’t.
They claimed it looks like a shift calendar where each terrorist signed in for his shift in guarding the hostages.
They showed much more than that, including equipment, clothes and a motorcycle that are suspected to have been used in the 7/10 atrocities.
They do say that they are still investigating and going over the evidence, but show and make it clear that they did find weapons and a command post inside the hospital.
Regarding the planted comment - well, if that’s what you believe then it doesn’t really matter what they show, doesn’t it? You’ve already made up your mind and it doesn’t matter what the evidence show…
Sorry, but showing pictures of guns, clothes and a motorcycle is not evidence. I don’t care what the news is about or where it’s from. True or not, this kind of thing needs independent reporting and third-party verification. Period.
When you see stories like this from any source, question everything. Showing pictures that confirm an existing basis is a powerful tool of manipulation, so please remember that.
Early in the Ukraine war, Russia was pushing the Nazi misinformation extremely hard. By the time fake news stories were debunked, it was too late. Russians were fully convinced that Ukraine was about to invade and old news getting debunked didn’t matter.
This story is an example: https://www.businessinsider.com/russian-agents-the-sims-video-game-sting-operation-2022-4
Lets just say there are quite a few layers to the story I linked, so take it with a grain of salt. _It is just an example.
Then why did they lie about a calendar? What was the purpose of that exactly?
I’m unfamiliar with that, can you share more info? What was the lie and how it was disproven?
At 5:35 in the video in OP’s link. People who can read Arabic called them out for what was literally a calendar with days listed. The IDF officer in the video claims it’s a list of signed names from each Hamas member for their shift of guarding the room. But there’s no names on it, it’s just a calendar.
it’s just a calendar
I’m very skeptical of this claim right here.
I didn’t notice anything specific in the calendar itself, but when I used Google translate, the top of the calendar read:
“For the Battle of Toukan Al-Akher 10/23/7”
I’m assuming the date is October 7, 2023 and it’s the result of Google mistranslating from Arabic, but that doesn’t sound like a typical calendar.
I feel like people are trying to pretend the hostages were held nowhere.
The top line says “Battle of Al-Aqsa flood 10/7/23” but if you translate the rest of what’s on that page its just the day of the week and date in each square. The IDF propagandist explicitly claims in the video that it is a guard shift list with people’s names on it which is a blatant lie.
Yes, I agree. I noticed the days and saw no names. He seems to be wrong about what it says, but people in this thread seem to be wrong about it just being some random calendar.
I don’t like to replace wrong information with wrong information.
You’re right, good catch.
It’s a very strange mistake to make on their part, I assume the IDF has many Arabic speakers.
It’ll be very interesting to see how everything else in the video will unfold.
It’s a very strange mistake to make on their part
No its not, its purposeful disinformation from a group trying to justify war crimes.
Occam’s razor applies here, and so we look for the simplest, most likely explanation (going by past example). And that explanation is Israeli misinformation. They’ve done it before.
Are you serious? The simplest explanation is misinformation and not an honest mistake or slip of the tongue? The person presenting the information doesn’t speak fluent English and most likely doesn’t speak fluent Arabic either.
If they couldn’t read it but claimed to know what it says then it’s a lie, not just a mistake.
Disproven? It wasn’t proven in the first place.
Disproved in the context of the claims.
I understand what you meant. What I’m saying is that those claims would have to be proven before they can be disproven. 
I don’t think you’ve even watched the video you linked
The infowar continues, and Bidens choices have brought in neo-progressives to help the Israelis.
Sure, Biden did this. They found them in the hospital basement right next to the calendar and stack of planted guns. 
Ummm…
You mean the hostage room full of hostages Israel wants back?
Ya. My money is on full planted disinformation aimed at justifying slaughter of innocents.
It’s a basement of a hospital that hundreds of civilians used as bomb shelter. Weak effort of propaganda from IDF because they know US will support the claim anyway.
Wow this morning it was a hostage holding room now it’s a command center, remarkable
Hamas using hospitals as human shields is horrific. Israel ignoring the human shields is horrific.
IDF are just clarifying they are awful, as much as Hamas are.

… According to Hamas which has demonstrated with evidence that they lie in almost every instance to get ahead of the narrative. So far there has been no evidence that any Israeli organizational narrative has been false.
So UNICEF has already stated that the Gaza ministry of health numbers are accurate and can be taken as is. I can link the article.
So far there has been no evidence that any Israeli organizational narrative has been false.
The video they’re using for evidence literally claims that a random calendar is a Hamas guard shift list.
Yes, war in an urban environment is bad. This is why it took a literal terrorist attack to prompt Israel to do it. There’s nothing that could be done to simultaneously win the war and prevent civilian casualties of this magnitude. I am a literal military strategist and there is no way possible considering the tunnel systems.
Ah yes, “it wasn’t them. And if it was, it was unavoidable. And if it was avoidable, they deserved it”
“Hamas bombed their own hospital” - Israel Bombed it, according to independently-verified Channel 4 sources. Followed by openly bombing of multiple other hospitals. “Leaked Audio” of hamas taking blame was doctored and spliced from multiple sources.
“Hamas beheaded 40babies” - Backtracked to one baby, who wasn’t decapitated at all, but in an area where Israeli helicopter gunners admit to blindly firing into civilian neighbourhoods for hours.
“Hamas killed 1400 civilians” - Backtracked to 1200 recently, including a vast majority being military personnel. Many of the civilians were likely killed by Israeli crossfire or intentionally via “Hannibal doctrine”.
“Hamas uses tunnels under Al-Shifa” - Literally only a shitty blender video as “proof”. Other attempts such as the above use what Israelis claim is a “guard shift pattern” on a wall, which is actually just translated into a calendar with no names on it all.
Not going to bother with people like you who wake up giddy with excitement to write off the lives of millions of people because they think there’s some kind of elaborate military apperatus being deployed in hospitals when the reality is that almost every IDF accusation is a confession of the kind of behaviour their own brutes have been orchestrating for decades.
At this point, you’re willingly choosing Israel’s narrative out of malice, not stupidity.
whoa those are a lot of claims X3
ehehe~ i’m really curious bout this lil’ one tho, just this one:
“Hamas killed 1400 civilians” - Backtracked to 1200 recently, including a vast majority being military personnel. Many of the civilians were likely killed by Israeli crossfire or intentionally via “Hannibal doctrine”
i watched all available videos during october 7th and didn’t see no helicopter or idf shooting civvies :o
I’m glad you’ve confirmed your biases based on a few minutes of Israeli-published footage of battles that were hours in length.
PS: get that UwU speak the fuck out of here, prick, you’re trying to justify the deaths of thousands of kids while larping as a fucking vtuber. Eat shit.
ehehe, silly~ hamas uploaded the footage online themselves, haha!
so binary~ pointing out an inconsistency isn’t automatically making out with israel. but it don’t change the fact no helicopter was shooting civilians or the idf was shooting their own civlians X3
Until a reliable, independent news agency verifies it, any claim from either side should be viewed as misleading. It’s also worth noting that it’s not just Hamas denying this, it’s also the facility itself. Here’s part of a report from one of the BBC correspondents in Gaza:
"Israel has accused Hamas of having a command and control centre underneath Shifa - which the group denies.
I have been to the hospital hundreds of time - I was born there, my son was born there, in the last two months of my mum’s life, she was inside the kidney dialysis centre and I used to visit her every day.
It is very hard to verify what is underneath. With my eyes, I haven’t seen any military capability inside the hospital buildings."
Lastly, consider the fact that this hospital is in one of the places the IDF instructed Palestinians to flee to . Are we now saying that the IDF were purposefully trying to place Palestinians in danger by telling them to go to a location where they knew Hamas operated from?EDIT: I was referring to the wrong hospital - see my comment below for details.
did idf really say that? :o
The BBC quote Dr Ebrahem Matar, a heart specialist in the intensive care unit at the Aqsa Martyrs’ hospital - the only medical centre in the middle area of the Gaza Strip.
"Dr Matar said there was only one operating room and limited number of staff.
"'It is catastrophic and it is difficult. We see patients deteriorate due to the continuous pain and the continuous resistant infections.
“The hospital is in one of the areas the Israeli army has told Palestinians to flee to.'”
EDIT: It looks like this is a different hospital Dr Matar was talking about. I’ll update my other comment too.
but did idf really say that? X3
Tell Palestinians to flee to certain areas? Yeah. NPR reported it, BBC reported it, CBS reported it, Al-Jazeera reported it, CNN reported it.
were that hospital oe of those areas tho? :oc
Yeah, just look at the areas the IDF told people to flee to and you’ll see Marat’s hospital is there.
Don’t waste your time … I just called him out and he created another account posing as an anime fan kid.
He will spot any news criticizing Israel then ask for sources / links / evidence and leave when links provided. Rinse and repeat.
can you link that? X3
„Watch IDF Spokesperson RAdm. Daniel Hagari walk through one of Hamas’ subterranean terrorist tunnels—only to exit in Gaza’s Rantisi hospital on the other side. “
The footage does not show what the tweet suggests. Hagari does not enter the Hospital through a Hamas tunnel. At least not in the version they have uploaded.
