For anyone else who may be reading the thread: the above is an oversimplification—and an especially tribalistic one—of my actual position, which I detailed in the OP. I did not say that I believed or disbelieved any allegations but instead said the allegations were extremely serious and warranting of thorough investigation:
It's not tribalism. That's cheap name-calling. Is this your version of "slaying the debate"?
They're not "extremely serious" because the UN is mushing together debunked false reports ( which you didn't bother to research ), and ridiculous claims about deliberately targeting women in air strikes that look like this:
How does an individual identify gender from this resolution and distance?
Besides, the individual who is making the allegations won't share any information which would allow for the research you're asking for. They're more interested in spreading the rumors. What does that tell you?
You're asking for a thorough investigation? Are you ignoring the information I've provided? A cursory investigation shows at least some of the claims are bogus.
1) Why do YOU believe the allegations are serious? Did you apply any, ANY, critical thought to this? Or do you believe any allegation that is anti-israel is credible by default?
2) Are you ignoring the recent evidence I brought that detainees make false accusations about abuse in the same way you ignored the evidence that the Nakbah was a consequence of Palestinian propaganda which backfired. Instead of the Palestinians rising up against the "evil Jews" they fled.
