To me, it’s no more logical to admit fault than it is to try to deflect it. If Israel is out to eliminate Hamas they must be aware that along the way there will be mishaps and fervent and frequent accusations of genocide, etc; There were these accusations on day 01 of Israels’ ops. Events are judged by their immediate impact, but Israel’s aim is clearly not something that can be immediately attained. So the sooner they get this incident and whatever more are sure to occur behind them, the closer they get to their goal.
I don’t think it hurts Israel to admit or not admit fault. I think it would be as bad or worse if they denied culpability. Nobody would believe them. It’s already perfectly fine that those honorable freedom fighters who gang-raped and slaughtered 1200+ Israeli civilians on Oct 07 are completely forgotten about. If this is a battle for world opinion, Israel will never win. Furthermore, there is not one atom of acknowledgement from any vocalizing party that Hamas could stop this horrible thing immediately by surrendering and freeing the hostages. Pre Oct 07, Hamas had turned the lives of the Palis to s**t. For 19 years. Before one bomb was dropped by the IDF, Israel was to blame for that, too. For the open air concentration camp, etc; Hamas is logically to blame for initiating this war and they are to blame for continuing it, by any logical measure. But logic need not apply.
That is not what I said. I said it doesn't help them to admit they are involved in something, if they know they are not involved.
I think it would be as bad or worse if they denied culpability.
That is exactly correct. They have indeed indicated that did have a role in the fog -of-war attack, which dampens the claims that it was done on purpose. In fact, there is this posted this morning that speaks of actions taken as a result:
I have a lot of respect for David Greenfield's reporting, and his claim is:
"Just this past Sunday, these Fatah-affiliated elements secured the entry of trucks carrying humanitarian aid into Gaza City.. Reports from Gaza indicate some of them were killed by Hamas members"
Does that help to understand where I am coming from & why I am unsure if we are talking about the same attack or a separate attack?
We are in agreeance, for the most part. It's just unclear as to what this claim is actually referring to. Also, is the claim making it out to be a shared attack? Both entities had a role in the attack?
There is just not enough information provided to make it crystal clear as to the claim being made. This is what I don't like about X, formerly know as twitter (how long do we have to include that also). It's limited in what may be provided in a tweet. As someone who does not have an account, we seem to be unable to see comments. As a result my intent was to find out from others who might have an account that see more than what I am able to see, if there is more information that clarifies this claim being made?
That is the sole reason for my post, to get clarification. 🙂👍
