What about a cease-fire's particularly pro-hamas? Cease-fire means both directions.

A ceasefire where Hamas gets to keep their hostages is a huge Hamas victory. Advocating for something which gives Hamas a huge victory will be interpreted by some as support for Hamas.

These demonstrations are full of Palestinian flags, without an Israeli one in sight. It's hard to argue against them being partisan

If the goal is not to harm your own hostages, you wouldn't be using bombs, which is real using very heavily right now. It makes a literally no sense.

I don't understand how your comment relates to mine. Do you believe that because I consider a cessation of hostilities where Hamas keeps their hostages a victory for Hamas, that I mean to say that rescuing hostages is the scope of Israel's campaign?

It clearly isn't. Israel intends to destroy Hamas and are appallingly callous about the collateral damage they cause in the process

What's the last cease fire that wasn't broken by regular rocket fire from Gaza?

On lemmy they're called communities.

Also calling for a ceasefire is not a "pro-Hamas" position. It feels like you're showing bias here more than anyone else. The Independent is also a large and well respected news outfit, and while many such publications have a lot of opinion pieces that are basically blog posts, this isn't one of them and is in traditional news format - they're reporting on a planned protest likely to be attended by a considerable number.

So every defender of human rights is pro-Hamas according to your twisted logic.

Last night the families released a statement calling the intense bombing on Friday "the worst of all nights", due to the uncertainty of the safety of their loved ones during IDF strikes.

And guess what, people on the other side of the fence are saying it, now imagine going through this personally with all your family. Not able to reach your loved ones, without food, Internet, or electricity. I am sure if you go through this hell you would change your tune

Meanwhile Reddit is the Israel propaganda machine, so I guess swings and roundabouts?

R/worldnews is a shithole, always has been. Before it became under powermod control there was a split and r/animetitties was the place for news. However I think since the API change that place isn't as busy anymore.

I don't have an eye got usernames, but I did notice some really dodgy websites getting posted and people, as they are, just upvote on how much they like the article title rather than the contents ot even the surrouding information.
