    Last I heard, Ukrainians weren’t holding up in those hospitals and using them as launch sites for their bombs…

    RT says they were and the only people who might dispute it are terrorists (also according to Russia).

    Besides, who am I supposed to believe? An IDF endorsed stenographer or my Hamas-affiliated eyes?

      When you’re unwilling to believe your own eyes with the videos and pictures that have been shared that are clearly GPS and time stamped showing what was found and where then there’s nothing that’s going to convince you of reality over your embedded ignorance.

        A lot of this boils down to who you trust for your news. Very easy to get a wide spectrum of videos as “proof” of an equivalent spectrum of beliefs and views.

        Very easy to find war crimes in the middle of a war, and a little selective editing can go a long way towards defining “good guys” versus “bad guys”.

          Yeah that’s fair. I try to make a point to get my news from both sides of the story I subscribed to Al Jazeera knowing they’re a clear propaganda machine. Regardless of where I’m getting the information from, I’m performing my own contextual analysis based on what I’m reading and seeing, and it’s really hard to deny the photographic and video evidence that’s published and widely available on this topic.
