It’s funny, I went to block you for being so misinformed and found I already downvoted the majority of the disinformation you spew. Still gonna block you.
Mustn't be exposed to dissent, enjoy your echo chamber
enjoy your echo chamber
That doesn't make sense. I regularly interact with people who disagree with me.
^That ^doesn't ^make ^sense. ^I ^regularly ^interact ^with ^people ^who ^disagree ^with ^me.

Cool even mbfc doesn't mention anything about it being anti Israel which they love to due.
maybe Israel should stop committing acts that violate human rights
Is everyone who points out Israeli war crimes an anti-semite to you? Half of these are "Oh no HRW talks about Israeli war crimes".
Very cool wikipedia page did you get paid to write it?
Because clearly no one but me can disagree with the official social media narrative? 😆
Sorry to inform you that reality sometimes disagrees with your preconceptions.
brainrot much?
Ad hominem, for when you don't like an argument but are unwilling or unable to refute it
Your whole comment was an attempt at derailing the conversation. The article is about people being KILLED, its completely irrelevant whether those people had anti Israel bias or not. At this point anyone who isnt critical of Israels actions is just blind and deaf to reality. Being biased against Israel is not a crime worth death, its the natural position for anyone with the tiniest bit of empathy in them.
I insulted you not because i didnt like your argument, but because you didnt even make an argument relevant to the post in the first place.
No, my comment was providing more context, by pointing out that HRC, rhe source being cited by this BBC article, is not an unbiased source when it comes to matters regarding Israel, as detailed in the link I provided.
It is highly relevant and not derailing at all, you just appear to hate on anyone who refutes your narrative.
Casualties due to collateral damage and fog of war are quite normal in war, but HRC holds Israel to a different standard than every other Nation, is far more critical of Israel, and takes a lot of money from Qatar and sources that are very anti-israel.
They are not a good source for information regarding this conflict unless you want your anti-israel preconceptions catered to, which it seems you do.
you are a failure at everything you do.
When Israel violates international law so often that they make up a large percentage of crimes against humanity the only reasonable conclusion we can draw is that Human Rights Watch is anti semitic.
