    To be fair this did happen 10 days after the October 7 attacks where paragliders attacked small villages

      It would take about 10 days to fly from Israel to Doncaster in a paraglider, but it would be surprising if no-one noticed along the way.

          Jesus, how can you read that fascist slop without vomitting:

          The residents of the Israeli border communities expected periodic rocket attacks after Hamas seized control of Gaza in 2007. They accepted the danger as the price of country life in a tight knit community which still had traces of the pioneer spirit of early Zionist communities.

          The article is full of horrific stuff like this.

            The paragliders were used to attack Israeli military bases.

            You made this comment implying that paragliders were not used to attack civilian targets. Which is not true and was very easy to verify. I choose to provide a link from the BBC as it is rated as high credible and close to centre.

            Because I am capable of critically reading an article without blindly internalizing it’s contents.

            But back to my original point, paragliders were used to attack civilian targets. This fact does not excuse any of the IDF’s atrocities.

              And you said that “paragliders attacked small villages” which even even your pro-genocide suck-job excuse of an article doesn’t actually reach the point of claiming.

              I choose to provide a link from the BBC as it is rated as high credible and close to centre.

              If you read that article and say “yeah, this is highly credible and close to centre”, you are a fascist.

              Because I am capable of critically reading an article without blindly internalizing it’s contents.

              Clearly not, given you claimed it as “high credible and close to centre.” Do you also go around ‘critically reading’ other openly fascist news sources?

              This fact does not excuse any of the IDF’s atrocities.

              Actually the atrocity propaganda of far right, pro-genocide propaganda outlets like the BBC is exactly what has been used to excuse the IDF’s atrocities.

                I use independent media ratings to determine the leaning of news agencies. Check out Ground News if you’re interested in that kind of thing.

                propaganda of far right, pro-genocide propaganda outlets like the BBC

                If you think BBC News is “far right” then you are in a media bubble. Critically read articles, especially from perspectives that don’t align with your views. It will help you understand the world.

                But back to my original point before this side track, paragliders were used to attack civilian targets during the October 7th attacks.

                  I use independent media ratings to determine the leaning of news agencies.

                  “Independent”? Independent of who? How does that make them reliable? If they’re rating that Der-Sturmer tier genocide propaganda as “realiable and in the middle” then you should find a different ''independent media ratings".

                  If you think BBC News is “far right” then you are in a media bubble.

                  Right back at you, chief. If you think the kind of fascist shit like the article you posted isn’t far-right, you are in a media bubble.

                  Critically read articles

                  I do, which is how I can conclude that BBC is far right.

                  especially from perspectives that don’t align with your views. It will help you understand the world.

                  Right back at you, chief.

                  paragliders were used to attack civilian targets during the October 7th attacks.

                  Even your fascist article doesn’t make that claim.

                    Even your fascist article doesn’t make that claim.

                    If you’re incapable of finding the reference to the paraglider in that article I question your critical thinking skills.

                    There are so many logical fallacies in your comments in this thread that I doubt you are arguing in good faith. You made a comment that implied that paragliders were not used to attack villagers in your initial post. That was factually untrue and instead of admitting that you were wrong and adjusting your world view slightly you instead choose to double down. To be clear, you can agree that paragliders were used to attack villager AND be against the IDFs genocide in Gaza. Don’t make the truth the enemy when it’s inconvenient.

                    What news agencies do you trust?
