    In a conversation with an IDF representative, a Gazan civilian described how Hamas terrorists were beating them with sticks

    Coming from an IDF representative. Very credible source.

        In this case? Yes. And I know that comes across as biased and naive, but given the IDFs actions and statements from the past year alone. Literally any source would be more credible.

      If only Hamas could have corroborated…

        If only the IDF was known for their integrity and respectability. Their reports and information would not need to be corroborated.

          I treat their statements the same as I’ve seen this community treat statements from Iran. No problem right?

            With little to no corroboration or regard for the authenticity of the source as long as it supports your personal bias and preconceived conclusions?

                  I’m starting to understand what you meant by personal bias and preconceived conclusions…

                  I’ve said nothing close to what you’re claiming.

                    You would argue that you’re supporting “both sides” of the conflict when one side has a documented history of misinformation and redirection to openly commit war crimes?

              I said that?

              Edit: I’m getting tired of people accusing me of saying things I didn’t. Noticing a pattern…

                If not, what does this mean?

                How does this community treat statements from Iran?

                    That sounds exactly like what I just said- that they are automatically valid and not needing corroboration.

                    However you phrase it, please provide evidence.
