Why? If there is wrongdoing, then there is wrongdoing. It doesn't matter if the wrongdoer disagrees, or what anybody else did. Thus, the request is a "whataboutism" distraction from the point:
The unsubstantiated claims of the attacker are pretty much always insufficient justification for an attack, but in particular here, because israel in particular is globally notorious for lying, for attacking investigators, journalists, and other innocent civilians, and as we both noted in our posts, for 40+ years of violent, racist terrorist attacks against innocent Palestinian civilians.
On that note, in furtherance of the truth, maybe you could point me at the independent investigatory or journalistic organizations that israel has authorized to operate unmolested by them in Palestine? After all, we're interested in the truth, not propaganda from one of the two combatants, right?
it's a war. israel doesn't have to provide justification to you or anybody else. just like usa and allies didn't have to provide justification to anybody when they leveled Mosul, falluja or raqqa. or when they leveled germany.
all western media operating in west bank. the only problem is that PA authorities are interfering with it. or west bank not palestine enough for you ?
and what makes you think that journalist organization promote truth ? i saw multiple times main stream media at prime time lying and twisting facts. recently (3 weeks ago) abby phillips said that facts doesn't matter in case they stand in a way of "righteous narrative"
Your post is full of shallow, unconvincing dismissals, mostly just you claiming stuff that isn't true, or essentially saying "nuh uh!” So, if you reply here, please make sure you back up your claims with reliable sources.
> it's not whatabouatism
It is common for someone engaging in whataboutism to unconvincingly deny it. Unfortunately, your whataboutism is whataboutism. If you want to avoid accusations of whataboutism, don't engage in it. That means not saying stuff like 'but what about Y' when defending X.
> and what makes you think that journalist organization promote truth
What makes you think israel does? They're certainly less reliable than the average journalist, given that israel in particular is globally notorious for lying, for attacking investigators, journalists, and other innocent civilians, and as we both noted in our posts, for 40+ years of violent, racist terrorist attacks against innocent Palestinian civilians.
> the only problem is that PA authorities are interfering with it.
You seem to be confused—israel is the one perpetrating the most journalist killing lately (the most in Palestine? No, the most in the entire world), and they forbid and prevent most journalists from entering or reporting from both the Gaza areas of Palestine and the West Bank areas of Palestine.
> israel doesn't have to provide justification to you or anybody else
If you mean in a legal sense, of course they do. The unsubstantiated claims of the attacker are pretty much always insufficient justification for an attack, but in particular here, because israel in particular is globally notorious for lying, for attacking investigators, journalists, and other innocent civilians, and as we both noted in our posts, for 40+ years of violent, racist, israeli terrorist attacks against innocent Palestinian civilians.
If you mean in a nazi-germany/russia-esque sense of, "we're gonna commit war crimes and perpetrate a genocide, you can't stop us, we can do anything we want and don't have to do anything we don't", you are right that israel is indeed just like that.
