    It’s not a story. It’s coming from an organisation entirely based within Palestine. Until independents verify Red Crescent’s claims, it’s as reputable as the IDF’s claims that they did not.

    Remember the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital explosion. Best wait until others can verify these claims.

      Does Red Crescent have a history that would make us disbelieve their claims in this situation? They didn’t do anything crazy like shoot at and kill innocent, unarmed people two years ago during the Great March of Return then attempt to cover it up by saying they were “human shields” after the fact, right? Because if an organization did something like that, it would be good reason to distrust future claims from that organization.

      Thankfully, googling “red crescent great march of return” doesn’t show them firing live rounds or tear gas canisters into crowds of peaceful, unarmed protestors, because imagine how bad it would look if you did something like that two years ago then tried to use the same excuse today for attacking a hospital!

        Yes, that’s my point that their claims are as reputable as IDF’s claims.

          Just curious, are you ESL? This is twice now in this comment section where it seems like you misunderstand what a comment is saying in a fundamental way

            No, just pointing out the absurdity of bias on display.

            Claims from organisations inside of Palestine are as reputable as those coming out from Israel.

              You may want to find a more direct way to communicate that, then. The way your comments are written makes it seem like you could use some practice at reading comprehension, and maybe a course on the logic of argumentation.

                My reading comprehension is just fine, thank you. Any other passive-aggressive remarks you want to make?

                  Specific and constructive criticism about your actions is only a passive-aggressive remark if you think you are not capable of improving yourself :) have a good one
