The Spin
Israel has demonstrated a consistent pattern of targeting civilians and medical infrastructure so that it can make Gaza unlivable. Civil defense workers continue to unearth the decaying bodies of Palestinians Israeli forces either dumped or executed and the fact that this war has been allowed to continue after so many Israeli atrocities is ludicrous. The US, Israel's biggest ally, also has decided to cover for Israel, consistently lying about the war and Israel's intentions.
These grave sites must be investigated. However, Israel has never and will never intentionally target civilians, and, to demonstrate its commitment to its principles, Israel will conduct a thorough investigation into the incident. The international community, even as it essentially forgets Hamas' Oct. 7 atrocities, must remember that Israel did not want this war and it has been forced to take dramatic action to ensure its survival.
Once again, the media is falsely portraying the situation in Gaza, as the "mass graves" found over the weekend have a simple explanation. The military, while looking for the bodies of hostages, was forced to examine the bodies of Palestinians recently buried in the vicinity of the Shifa and Nasser hospitals, which it did respectfully. The bodies were then returned to their place. One should remember that Shifa was being used as a massive HQ for Hamas militants, and Israeli forces neutralized 200 terrorists
Metaculus Prediction
There's a 5% chance that the Palestinian Authority/Fatah will have de facto power in the Gaza Strip on January 1, 2025, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
