Tariq Kenney-Shawa, Al-Shabaka's U.S. policy fellow, said: "This is among the worst footage I've seen. Not only were these boys clearly unarmed and present no threat whatsoever, but they were struck multiple times even after stumbling/crawling away. There is no way they could have been considered combatants. This is unreal."

Assal Rad, an author with a Ph.D. in Middle East history, said: "Have we ever seen so many war crimes take place right before our eyes? Any country still providing weapons and aid to Israel is complicit in these crimes."

I sincerely wish news articles would stop linking to X posts, and instead just mirror the content, or something.

Yes, I don't understand why people keep using this platforn.

It's probably an overhead or creative licensing thing. But it sucks. And if you're a day late to the article, it's a gamble that the video hasn't already been removed.

The same reason people keep using FB: it's a dumpster fire if toxic waste and they like it that way

Privacy Badger has replaced this X (Twitter) widget

And Twitter posts as sources is always very sketchy...

It's Al-Jazeera. Their logo is their in the video, and the Arabic is a newscaster talking.

[-] ryannathans@aussie.zone 1 points 8 months ago

The source is already gone so doesn't really matter now

Article said it’s a must see video, I went to the website and it linked to X.

Shame… I guess I won’t see it
