checks source, ah yes, Israels very own Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center owned by a former IDF soldier,which, at least in the first 10 pages, is all just " well we investigated them and found that they're part of hamas". Ok ! Not to mention how happy this article loves to provide telegram screenshots, but somehow "incontrovertible proof" doesn't get any evidence attached to it? And only shows anti Israel posters. And don't even get me started on one of the quoted "sources"( referenced as 2) in which in the article literally says "APPARENTLY ENJOYED" . So we are quoting "apparently"s as fact now? Maybe someone who's read more into this "source" can tell me if it gets better but its complete slop so far EDIT: and I didn't even mention "60% of journalists killed were actually terrorists" OK let's pretend thats the truth, they STILL KILLED 40% OF THE NON TERRORIST JOURNALISTS

Academic_Net6298 May 7, 2026 +10

Did you even look at the evidence they provided? Most of them were claimed by terrorist organizations as their members in official obituary notices Muhammed Dawish - Camera man at a Palestinian new agency filmed taking part in October 7th with a Hamas headband on Muhammad abu Sakhi - listed as a journalist and claimed by Palestinian Islamic Jihad as commander in an obituary notice Hthifah al-Najar - listed as a journalist and claimed as a member of Hamas in an obituary notice Israel says they’re terrorists, Palestine says they’re terrorists, the only one disputing that fact is you

Not really, more like of the number of alleged journalists killed, 40% were not terrorists. This does not mean out of 1000 real journalists, 400 were killed.

It does when the “journalists” being killed are more likely than not to be confirmed members of terrorist organizations to say nothing of whether or not they were combatants not affiliated with a group.

Interesting way to frame Palestinian “journalists” are more likely than not members of terrorist organizations. To say nothing of whether they were combatants unaffiliated with a terrorist group when they were killed. If 2/3rds of CNN reporters killed were actually jihadists I’d wonder about the other 1/3rd too

Madbrad200 May 7, 2026 +1

In America there's generally an understanding of innocent until proven guilty before you start labeling 40% of a journalist organisation as terrorists.

Academic_Net6298 May 7, 2026 +1

I’m not labeling 40% of them as terrorists, I’m acknowledging the reality that at least 60% of Palestinian “journalists” killed in the war were avowed members of terrorist organizations as confirmed by official obituary notices from the terrorist organizations themselves

Pretty hard to be nuanced in a headline... Also that's what all the states are calling it despite all the egregious war crimes. As much as ad revenue dictates EDITORIAL decisions journos are THERE and slamming their heads into the wall after arguing with their desk and then drinking themselves to an early grave at the senselessness of it all. Journalists are not the enemy, just the horse the messenger rides. Would you rather no message at all?

No they did not. They agreed to a ceasefire with Lebanon. Hezbollah is a non-state militia, not Lebanon. Hezbollah in fact is a violent occupier of sovereign Lebanese territory. Don’t worry. Talks with Lebanon have continued to be productive. Israel and Lebanon have agreed on a lot, including their desire to remove Hezbollah from its illegal occupation over huge swaths of Lebanon after this latest provocation. Free Lebanon.

purple_spikey_dragon May 7, 2026 +1

Lebanon had one job in the past 10 years: keep Hezbollah out of power and make sure they don't cross the Litani river to prevent them from continuing to send rockets at Israels northern villages. Did they do even half of that? No. They failed miserably, if they even tried at all. Considering the state of the Druze minority population, they more than only failed their agreement with Israel, but with their own citizens. If Lebanon didn't want to have a war started on their ground, why would they let Hezbollah not only operate from their country (remember the explosion in Beirut a few years back? Guess who), but let them infiltrate their government and attack minority groups, and basically start a war with a neighbouring country?

chabawonka May 6, 2026 -6

....so you're justifying Israel breaking the ceasefire agreement in May because of something that happened in March before the ceasefire was even negotiated? Also should mention this all happened after Israel murdered the Iranian leadership and launched a war during peace negotiations.

Shot-Toe-2884 May 6, 2026 +4

Israel didn’t sign a peace agreement with Hezbollah. They signed a deal with Lebanon. Ya know… the actual sovereign state. Not their zealous far-right occupier. Hezbollah is not lebanon. Hate to break it to ya. They’re the only ones who want this stupid f****** forever war. Lebanon and Israel remain in contact and continue to negotiate in the United States as agreed, both citing important progress and clearly signalling that Lebanese territory will be respected by Israel. Even if Israel wanted to annex Lebanon, they have to go through Americans for permission that are deeply sympathetic to Lebanon’s predicament and abhor the Hezbollah occupation and its targeted violence and persecution against Lebanese Christians. Nobody who wants a free Lebanon supports HezB. Nobody. If you support Hezbollah, you are firmly against Lebanese sovereignty and you condone ethnic cleansing and religious apartheid

yonatanh20 May 7, 2026 +29

Sorry to bust your bubbles but for the past month Israel and Hezbollah were still fighting, for the past month Israeli towns are still being shelled. Israel was instructed by Trump stop bombing Beirut so he could negotiate with Iran. It appears Israel is no longer interested in that and Hezbollah still has its leadership in Beirut so Beirut gets bombed. You are all welcome to scooch down and smell my farts.

Israel shall preserve its right to take all necessary measures in self-defense, at any time, against planned, imminent, or ongoing attacks. This shall not be impeded by the cessation of hostilities. Besides this, it will not carry out any offensive military operations against Lebanese targets, including civilian, military, and other state targets, in the territory of Lebanon by land, air, and sea. https://www.state.gov/releases/office-of-the-spokesperson/2026/04/ten-day-cessation-of-hostilities-to-enable-peace-negotiations-between-israel-and-lebanon

England and France spent a millennium beating the shit out of each other (including over religion or at least as a strong contributing factor), now we mostly argue about fish, at some point you have to figure it out.

They’d prefer Israel be gullible and fall for yet another malicious fake peace deal that Hezbollah will inevitably break for the umpteenth time.

chedder May 6, 2026

There have been hundreds of documented ceasefire violations from Israel since then and they still had not withdrawn out of Lebanon. I don't understand how they can consider shelling instead of bombing to not be a ceasefire violation.

MVP_Legend_87 May 6, 2026 +29

It's quite clear you don't understand how a ceasefire works. The agreement isn't just that Israel doesn't attack Hezbollah, but that Hezbollah stays north of the Litani, and they disarm. Hezbollah refused to do both of these things. The expectation for a ceasefire is that Israel won't attack, so long as Hezbollah fulfills their obligations. Hezbollah made it clear, both in their statements, and in their actions, that they had no intention to disarm, and that they weren't staying north of the Litani. The ceasefire relies on both sides following through on what they agreed to. If Hezbollah won't disarm and go north of the Litani, then Israel shouldn't be expected to show restraint against Hezbollah. The fighting stops on the condition that Hezbollah disarms, and they didn't. And there are also hundreds of documented ceasefire violations from Hezbollah, with 2 violations per day for every day they refused to disarm, and refused to go north of the Litani.

chedder May 6, 2026 -23

The issue is that people who LIVED south of the Litani were heading back to their own homes after being displaced for weeks only to be fired upon. Israel needs to leave Lebanon and stop trying to enforce arbitrary boundaries with no formal agreements in violation of international law. There is no amount of paragraphs that you can type which will ever justify displacing people from their homes and then occupying their lands. Not only that but also defiling religious monuments and filming cheeky videos of themselves cooking meals in other peoples homes. Anyone who makes the defense argument here is being willfully deceitful or is just ignorant.

-23

MVP_Legend_87 May 6, 2026 +21

"The issue is that people who LIVED south of the Litani were heading back to their own homes after being displaced for weeks only to be fired upon." Hezbollah was fired upon. They're the ones putting civilians in danger. You should place the blame and responsibility on the group putting civilians in danger, which is Hezbollah. "Israel needs to leave Lebanon and stop trying to enforce arbitrary boundaries with no formal agreements in violation of international law." Israel can't leave Lebanon, because Hezbollah keeps attacking them. The formal agreement that had been in place was UN Resolution 1701. You'll never guess what they said Hezbollah needs to do though! Withdraw from the Litani and disarm. Nobody is able to enforce it though. Lebanon isn't strong enough, and nobody else in the world will get involved to help Lebanon. So it really is up to Israel to stop them. It's funny how you talk about violations of International Law and completely ignore the fact that Hezbollah is doing this by refusing to disarm, and refusing to go north of the Litani. I get that you want to blame Israel for everything, but Hezbollah is the one violating international law here. There's certainly someone in this discussion being willfully deceitful, but it ain't me.
