Indeed, the IDF lied their *sses off. They lie to this day. They certainly needed to cover-up the Hannibal directive fratricide or Netanyahu would be out on his *ss. But then, so do the "White helmets" and their fake missile-strike casualties, pretend casualties showing up at the hospitals for reporters and then blaming it on the Israeli's, when it was their own missile.
Truth is the first casualty in every war. What makes the atrocity stories so believable is the hatred and desire to humiliate and kill that exists between all the parties.
There are no "good' solutions. The situation is intolerable. And unfortunately the only "end" that seems to have any lasting effect is tragedy. The parties are trapped in a cycle of violence that will likely extend into the far far future.
ps - I HATE the media. I hate the guilt-pride and ethics of kitsch that sustains it. The German's cannot criticize Israel (guilt over Nazi past). The liberal West cannot criticize the Palestinians (guilt over Colonialism). And so the cycle feeds on the hate of reporters and their cries for justice between violent events, which then are used to sustain the hatred.
...and the guilt of the bystanders keep the stories alive and in the headlines. They dare not criticize the victims on either side. For there is no justice. It Just Is.
I'm hoping Trump relocates the 1 million to Libya. The more distance you can put between the Gazan Palestinians and Israel, the better.
Those are my opinions anyway. Not what you wanted to hear, but there they are. I'd be interested in yours. It's not likely we'll agree, but I am interested in learning why the Palestinian cause is dear to you.

“There is no such thing as collective guilt or collective innocence; guilt and innocence make sense only if applied to individuals.”
Now if the West ever stopped feeling any guilt in this conflict... perhaps it wouldn't pay to keep the conflict alive. But there are $billions to be raised in and from the West and Arab nations and spent on weapons... so the carnange continues. Inshallah it ends one day.
"And this is in line with an observation made by Gilles Deleuze, who says that we need to shift from talking of the world in "essences" to "historically contingent processes" which allow for multiplicity instead of reducing things to singular unitary essences."

I don't think that Aristotle was very much impressed with Plato/Socrates' moralisms. His was the "materialist" turn away from Plato's "Spiritual/Formal" dualistic ontology, but not quite far enough to the Deleuzian.

BeantwoordenVerwijderen...it ends one day. a singular unitary essence if ever there was one.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenlet Trump take the blame for ending the current conflict through relocation. Perhaps more Gazans will escape the genocide that way.
Yes, the media are truly loathsome nowadays. Worthless crap not worth watching or reading.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThe Palestinians loathe the idea of relocation. Many (or their descendants) want to return to their destroyed or now occupied villages.
Collective guilt is ridiculous. Although there were also anti-Jewish razzias in Belgium, what on Earth do I have to do with that???
You should forcibly deport them to Libya and see how they get on... ;)

I do also agree with your thing about the White Helmets.
