The military initially said it opened fire because the vehicles were “advancing suspiciously” on nearby troops without headlights or emergency signals. An Israeli military official, speaking late Saturday on condition of anonymity in line with regulations, said that account was “mistaken.”

The footage shows the Red Crescent and Civil Defense teams driving slowly with their emergency vehicles’ lights flashing, logos visible, as they pulled up to help an ambulance that had come under fire earlier. The teams do not appear to be acting unusually or in a threatening manner as three medics emerge and head toward the stricken ambulance.

Video evidence forcing a backtrack? Sounds like the truth only comes out when they’re caught red-handed.

[–] PlaywrightFox@lemmy.ml 4 points 13 hours ago

The truth didn't even come out. It was "We will investigate ourselfs" type response. And the U.S. will continue supplying this state with the weapons to carry this out.

How nice. After it turns out Israel lied about executing 15 ambulance personell they can "walk back their statement".

[–] ThomasCrappersGhost@feddit.uk 113 points 2 days ago (4 children)

They targeted these medics. They targeted the world kitchen people. How much longer are those with the ability to do something gonna tolerate this?

[–] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

Tolerate? The "people with the ability to do something", by definition, would have done something if they wanted to. The powerful pursue their interests, just like everyone else. You can either get them to change their minds about what "the goal" is, or you change the people in power for some who align with the population. We should come up with a cool name for this crazy concept, like what if we used the Greek words for "people" and "power"‽

[–] ThomasCrappersGhost@feddit.uk 2 points 9 hours ago

Youre right. That wasn’t the best phrased. Not “tolerate” …”actively encourage and not give a shit about”…

[–] RymrgandsDaughter@lemmy.world 11 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Forever, unless they start attacking outside of Palestine no one is going to do anything. Especially since Isreal is one of the US' favorite murder toys

[–] m4xie@lemmy.ca 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

They have already launched attacks in Lebanon and Syria.

[–] RymrgandsDaughter@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Did I say Palestine, I meant to say "the middle east".

[–] baltakatei@sopuli.xyz 12 points 2 days ago

Reminds me of a quote from Hogfather (1996):

Maybe someone said, hey, how’d you like to hunt this evil bastard of an eagle with his big sharp beak and great ripping talons, sort of thing, or how about instead you hunt this wren, which is basically about the size of a pea and goes “twit”? Go on, you choose.

How much longer are those with the ability to do something gonna tolerate this?

Until the costs to themselves outweigh the benefits. Otherwise why not tolerate it? Even the word tolerate implies that it bothers them beyond a minor PR issue. Normal people need to gain the ability to think like sociopaths if they want to understand them.

"seems to contradict it"

come on. Why cant we all just admit they flat out lied to get away with a war crime, same as always.

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 117 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Fascists always lie. Zios are no exception.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 65 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Understanding that Zionists are fascists is probably the thing that let me understand why they do the things they do. The extent of their depravity, sometimes comical scheming, projection and of course all the damn lying make perfect sense when you realize that they're just Nazis with a Jewish makeover.

[–] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Zionazis, if you will

Edit: I hadn't heard this word before, but figured if I thought of it someone else beat me to it, and sure enough it's been around for a while. Turns out it's considered antisemitic, but I think if the jack boot fits...

[–] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 20 hours ago

I don't know whether this is too far or not, but do remember that all pro-zionists will call you anti-semitic for saying something anti-zionist.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 17 points 2 days ago

These morons should have learned this lesson from Russia - cell phone cameras are really good at exposing your bullshit.

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 52 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Thing is even if they admitted it no-one would do anything about it. Why the wasted effort?

[–] Krono@lemmy.today 62 points 2 days ago

It's not wasted at all, this is textbook Shock Doctrine (Naomi Klein, 2007). This is Steve Bannons's "flood the zone" strategy that Trump is currently following.

The lies will be believed by dedicated Zionists. Paid Hasbara trolls will be repeating these lies forever.

For most news consumers, the story will come across muddled, confused, and open to personal interpretation. From their low-information perspective, a conclusion of "both sides" seems reasonable.

And for those who are paying attention and have a strong sense of morality, this will be one more battle we will have to repeatedly fight. We will have to expend time and energy to fight this lie, and it is just one of many.

Just another day for Israel.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

Every fucking time evidence comes out of some incident, it completely contradicts what they said before.

I'm starting to think they might have a problem telling the truth.
