The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

You have a link for this, I presume?


Goof,

I am discussing unverified news reports by NPR. Why would there be a link? NPR has never claimed to verify the news out of Gaza for the last two years. In none of NPR's stories during the period do they ever claim to have verified a single thing.

Do you know a lie when you hear one? Hamas reporters lied to the Western press for two years.

Would a link make that better or something? Does someone who reports false news to begin with have more credibility?

Recently, some Hamas militants in captivity have claimed torture and inhumane treatment. Israel is officially claiming it followed the law. Who are you going to believe? Someone who wants to poison your mind or the truth?

Yes, one case of bad treatment does exist, and the Israelis are seriously looking at it.

You can get a link for that one case. You can get links where Israel says they followed the law.

But can you verify torture generally by Israel of Hamas militants? No, and you do not have a link. You have NPR spreading a lie.
