I don’t know how to cover this anymore
The Israel-Hamas conflict is surrounded by so much misinformation, and people latch on to the misinformation and propaganda so unquestionably, that it makes it hard to tell what’s going on and many professionals don’t want to even touch the story. Everything is so he-said-she-said and stories always change after bad information has already spread, that it is difficult to know what the truth is.

Is Israel Committing Genocide in Gaza? | The Ezra Klein Show
Aid workers have confirmed, Gazans are starving.
Seems pretty clear that Israel can argue that their goal is regime change, not genocide. It makes sense that a country would not want to live next to a regime that actively wants to wipe them off the face of the planet. Hamas and other terrorist groups could end this at any time by surrendering and allowing the rule of a non-terrorist entity. As long as they don’t, Israel has to either fight the terrorist group, which cannot be done without civilian casualties, or just wait for the next Hamas attack. Nevertheless, Israel has committed war crimes.

Why Does Gaza have so many Hospitals?
Gaza has a lot of hospitals relative to their population. This is partly because Gaza has smaller hospitals. Hamas has intentionally built terrorist tunnels under hospitals to make targeting terrorists in them a war crime due to a hospital being in the way. Hamas forces Israel between a rock and a hard place. If Israel doesn’t hit the terrorist/military targets to avoid hitting hospitals, then Hamas can continue to operate there. If Israel does hit the targets, then Hamas propaganda can scream about how evil Israel is for hitting hospitals. Hamas is sacrificing its own people and civilian infrastructure as a tactic against Israel. Many in the West aid Hamas by screaming about hospitals hit while ignoring Hamas’s tactic.

Dispatch From Gaza’s Nasser Hospital w/ Dr Tarek Loubani | MR Live
DC has record low crime, yet Trump is acting like it is out of control and using exaggerations to take over the policing of the city. He describes how people do what they want to police, yet he pardoned the January 6th attackers who were actively trying to hurt police.
A doctor in Gaza says all his patients are noticeably not eating enough food. He says Gaza has violent gangs that work for Israel.

Pay Attention to the War of the Words in Gaza
“Huge numbers of Palestinians need something to eat. Can Israel do more to get them some food?
“It’s as if anything that doesn’t qualify as famine isn’t a problem,” one humanitarian organization official told me. A second aid official said the Israelis in particular talk about such hunger crises as if “it’s a binary — on, off — rather than a sliding scale. It’s a sliding scale.”
Words are among the many tools being weaponized by multiple sides in several ongoing global conflicts. “Famine,” “genocide,” “terrorism,” “antisemitism,” “occupation” and “apartheid” are just some of the terms whose definitions inspire public relations, legal and policy fights.
The war of words is increasingly exhausting and alarming to policymakers and others who deal with humanitarian issues. Several told me they worry the semantics — especially in a conflict such as Gaza — could hurt efforts to save lives or forge peace, including by hardening the positions of people accused of wrongdoing.
…
Activists who push to use the term “genocide” often seem to suggest that if any label short of that is used, it means that a group’s suffering doesn’t matter.
This is unfortunate, Malinowski and others say, because other legal terms that could apply, such as “war crimes” or “crimes against humanity,” are still very grave offenses whose perpetrators should be held accountable.
A government’s decision to accuse another country of genocide often comes down to politics.”

Trump, Israel, and the Future of Liberal Democracy — with Ezra Klein | Prof G Conversations
Israel is committing war crimes. However horrible a terrorist organization is, whatever that organization will or will not agree to, holding a civilian population hostage is not justifiable. The U.S. makes mistakes in its wars, but has not tried the mass starvation of civilians.

Israel-Hamas Ceasefire Deal Cements Biden’s Heinous Legacy
Did all the death and destruction wrought by Israel trying to get Hamas achieve anything? If Gaza is still ruled by a terrorist organization, won’t it just rebuild, then attack Israel, and this happens all over again?

China and Australia are in a nasty diplomatic spat over a fake tweet — and real war crimes
“Last month, Australia released the Brereton report, the result of a four-year inquiry into war crimes committed by the nation’s elite Special Air Services while fighting in Afghanistan.
Among the report’s shocking allegations was that soldiers were involved in the murder of 39 Afghan civilians, none of which occurred during battle. Senior commanders allegedly prompted junior officers to kill prisoners in a process called “blooding,” and weapons were planted on the dead captives to justify their executions.”
