‘Israel’ booby-traps children’s toys in Gaza leaving behind several casualties: health ministry - Lemmy

Children in the Gaza Strip are facing a lethal, hidden threat from the remnants of war, including unexploded ordnance and devices intentionally disguised as toys, according to Gaza’s Director General of the Ministry of Health, Dr. Muneer Alboursh. Alboursh issued a powerful condemnation of the practice, stating that the deliberate placement of these devices poses an acute and ongoing danger to the youngest residents of the territory. According to the Ministry of Health, items such as dolls, teddy bears, and colorful balls are being used to lure and injure children. “When a child reaches for the ‘pretty toy,’ the horrific truth explodes in their face,” he wrote.

EDIT: aw shit, lib after all, but this line of “I believe it when I see reuters or AP on this.” was way too on the nose for me to believe it at first :(

Probably because you’re a fucking idiot.

Israel killed all the reporters. But you demand a report.

Let’s see your source that there are zero reporters in Palestine.

Here’s a quote from Wikipedia about the group that put out this article:

Roya TV is strongly anti-Zionist and, unlike the Jordanian government, does not recognize Israel as a real country. In written pieces, the network often puts Israel’s name in quotation marks, or refers to the entire country as “occupied Palestine”.

Unless there are alternate sources that verify the authenticity of this story, it should be assumed to be propaganda.

…and they’re right to do so? The land didn’t stop being Palestine just because a bunch of Western-backed Zionists decided to occupy it and commit genocide against the natives.

That’s irrelevant to the fact that Israel is a real country with a government, citizens, and international recognition. Your argument applies equally to refusing to recognize the validity or existence of the United States of America, which should show you how ridiculous it is.

You’re right to question the integrity of the news source. I’ve personally never heard of royanews.tv… However, Israel has been killing children.

Clearly he’s challenging this particular article. Don’t strawman or move goalposts - it weakens your argument.

You guys always get so mad instead of realizing things aren’t as simple as good vs evil.

I disagree with you, based on the content of the original comment (quoted). They are clearly trying to challenge the notion that Israel is killing children in general.

No, they can challenge the notion that things aren’t as simple as good vs evil - it’s usually more like evil vs evil and bystanders get fucked. In this case, challenging the notion that Israel booby-traps kids toys, doesn’t mean challenging that Israeli bombs civilians including children.
