Hamas Launches Infiltration, Rocket Attack on Israel

[DadSmith]

When it comes to that region, assigning a victim mentality to any specific group is going to be a losing battle lol.

Everyone is a victim when it comes to lobbying for taxpayer's money.

My point is when people fall into into this mental health crises they do not believe that anything can change and why try. So they just float down stream like the rest of the dead fish. It doesn't matter if they are in Gaza or Indianapolis. They just have no will to fight.

Peter Doocy asks perfect question after Biden says he wants Israel to 'pause' military response: 'My goodness, Peter' | Blaze Media

Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy confronted the Biden administration on Thursday about how a humanitarian pause would help the Israelis in their fight against Hamas.As Israel Defense Forces successfully fight back against Hamas, President Joe Biden on Wednesday endorsed a humanitarian "pause"...

Biden sent Blinken to pressure Netanyahu to stop fighting. I think we see the answer he gave. Israel is still fighting.

Now will Biden pull all support, and assets because Netanyahu disobeyed his wishes?

Hamas isn't made up of the sharpest tools in the shed is it? They don't want the people to leave, so they can use them as human shields. So instead, they kill them, so... wait for it... they can't be used as human shields.

Not really.
Cause it affects the others that witness it, and tell others.
The death of 5, may cause 100 to turn around.

I'm sure that was their intent, but I'm not so sure it's working. Die by your side's sniper, or by the other side's bombs doesn't seem like a great choice.

One person with a single shot gun, can hold a hundred hostages.

I don't think IDF cares about human shields (nor should they).

Anyone that uses tik tok as a “news” source doesn’t have the brain capacity to peal an orange. Their views are unchangeable and irrelevant.

Where do you get your news? Is social media any worse of a source than traditional media? Look at all the places INGO gets its news. People post videos from many right wing independent journalists. TimcastIRL, Officer Tatum, many others.

TheBottomLine, the source in the post you replied to, is from Twitter, itself a social media source, reporting that kids get their news from social media. This is the new world of independent journalists. It’s just what it is.

TikTok is like the YouTube for young people. Because anyone with a camera and a internet connection can have a presence on TikTok, anyone can share information and influence people. The right wing version of news is well represented on Youtube, but not TikTok. Unless we want to have an official news source, which is not angood idea, then I think the charismatic young conservatives need to get on TikTok and provide coverage of alternative points of view.

At the end of the day what do the Iranian people get out of this? What is it worth to finally crush Israel, 10 million Iranian lives, 40 million. 70 million? Making some old cranky mullahs happy, is it worth that much?

Do they have the brain capacity to spell "peel?"

(J/K)

Seriously, though...just because you don't like a particular source doesn't mean that there isn't relevant information, data and intelligence to be gathered from that source. Quite a bit of sorting the wheat from the chaff, obviously. But it's not a bad idea to be familiar with what the idiots are saying and doing. Shutting off the radar because you might see something you don't like is not a good strategy for awareness and preparedness.

I remember this exact 'breaking news' argument being made about pre-Musk twitter and it turned out be a hotbed of fealty to the government narrative paired with ruthless suppression of opposing viewpoints no matter how well credentialed the source. Even post-Musk, twitteX is still rife with propaganda and regime agitprop

It probably is better than MSNBC or CNN, but that's a REALLY low bar

Even if you "heard that somewhere", it doesn't mean its true.

No kidding that is why I asked

Isn't TikTok still a Chinese company, and hence controlled by the CCP?

 

[Kdf101]

I tend to try to use several different sources, sometimes social media, for news. Right wing sites, left wing sites, neutral ones if I can find one. Foreign news is a good place to get a different perspective on things. I try to filter out the bias and put a little bit of critical thinking into it, but sometimes it is hard to decipher the truth

Sure it is. It's still a platform. The content is the users. But, the algorithm is CCP's. They don't allow freak shows in China. But it seems it's pushed in the west.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

The content is the users.

That's true, and probably to a much higher degree with social media, where the platform picks what is available for people to choose to watch. I suppose we could ban TikTok in the US. Probably people can find ways to consume it anyway. Might be better to have more conservative viewpoints available there depending on how they might get around the algorithms. I don't feel like YouTube's algorithms hamper my ability to watch conservative content.

My statement, is about, why would the hostages just not run, since they're gonna be killed by a bomb anyway.

Well, if they rushed a gunman, only so many could be killed.
But, they worry they could be one.
So, wait for the bombs. Maybe you'll live.

Keep putting off death, cause there's a chance it will go away.
A common human experience.

There is value in seeing the replies. Some people post additional information in the replies that is actually more interesting or relevant than the original post.

They can also refute something

 

[Cameramonkey]

Those that gather and demonstrate on that side would find a way to dismiss footage like this.

They deserved it because...

This is propaganda, they are all crisis actors. It never happened, etc...

Insert other tinfoil ideas here.

I highly doubt Chinese government ran tiktok will allow a true conservative voice, and truth on their platform.
