"There is no way they could have been considered combatants," said one writer and analyst. "This is unreal."

Tariq Kenney-Shawa, Al-Shabaka’s U.S. policy fellow, said: “This is among the worst footage I’ve seen. Not only were these boys clearly unarmed and present no threat whatsoever, but they were struck multiple times even after stumbling/crawling away. There is no way they could have been considered combatants. This is unreal.”

Assal Rad, an author with a Ph.D. in Middle East history, said: “Have we ever seen so many war crimes take place right before our eyes? Any country still providing weapons and aid to Israel is complicit in these crimes.”

    I sincerely wish news articles would stop linking to X posts, and instead just mirror the content, or something.

        It’s probably an overhead or creative licensing thing. But it sucks. And if you’re a day late to the article, it’s a gamble that the video hasn’t already been removed.

        The same reason people keep using FB: it’s a dumpster fire if toxic waste and they like it that way

          Hamas is using AI for their propaganda very often, so its not actually safe to say its real just because of a watermark and a voice…

            You must be thinking of Israel

            Propaganda and weaponized lies can only obscure the dead bodies, the forced starvation, the mass killing of children, and the utter destruction of an entire society for so long. Over time, it becomes increasingly difficult to conceal the nexus between the actions taken by Israel after October 7, the mendacious narratives it deployed, and Netanyahu’s desperate struggle to retain political power and his personal liberty. The 1,200 Israeli and international victims of October 7, and the more than 27,000 Palestinians whose deaths were justified in their names, deserve an unvarnished rendering of the truth.
