The ex-speaker’s “delusional” attack insults millions of voters—and reveals the scorching ignorance of top Democrats about the depth of opposition to Israel’s war.
This is what I mean. Even in the evac zone, the IDF calls and texts people before bombing.
Yes, people were told to leave the north and head south. Nobody said “everywhere south is safe.”
People keep making this point to me and it would be a good point if it was as black and white as coverage keeps implying. My observations have been as follows:
These stories are exaggerated by media outlets that do not publish sufficient detail to identify the date and location of the bombing. This makes it impossible to know if you have just read 10 articles about 10 bombings or 10 articles about one bombing. It also makes it impossible to look up and see if one can find evidence of the warnings that were given or the IDF explanation for the bombing.
Many of the articles that do contain enough information to identify the date and location but does not include idf’s explanation or any information related to any warnings. This gives the false idea that Israel is just bombing people. Indiscriminately, and it just isn’t true. Because literally every single time I have been able to identify the date and location from any reports of civilians being killed in bombings, I’ve been able to find for everyone some explanation from the IDF and some eyewitness account including videos or screenshots of the warnings that people have received.
Here’s a good example. It is unique only because everyone evacuated, despite Hamas’s attempts to mislead people into staying in the buildings:

The IDF caller at one point even said “we will not bomb until you say it is safe to do so,” and they did not. That doesn’t sound very genocidal to me.
