    How old is that lol

    you’re ****ing obsessed with my tv licence <laugh>

    I got one for my unit when the World Cup was on back in 2018 and I’ve had one at home since. Still don’t have a TV plugged into any terrestrial stuff, but loads of BBC stuff is online these days.

    I don’t think they got an interview. Only the footage recovered from one of the dead medic’s mobile phone. As I understood it, the one survivor was taken captive by the IDF

    probs so he couldn’t spill thr beans

    Hmm, one of the BBC links put up on here, had another link embedded in it, I'm sure that's where I saw the detail. See it's these little finer details people miss, because they just quote what the BBC are saying without any critical thinking. I noticed what I thought were several inaccuracies in the story when you back link stuff.

    I dunno. There might have been another survivor. I don’t think there’s been any attempt to hide parts of the story.

    Well apart from the IDF of course who tried to pass it off as an attack on an unmarked Hamas convoy lol

    Here it is... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ckgere1y740o

    Also I thought it was 14 and 1 survivor, but it says here...

    He survived the Israeli attack that killed 15 emergency workers in Gaza by diving to the floor in the back of his ambulance, as his two colleagues in the front were shot in the early hours of 23 March.

    Also according to that report the survivor is free, that was never my understanding, maybe just getting bits and pieces of the events has jumbled up the story.

    The other question it raises, if the IDF were trying to hide all this up as originally claimed, why didn't the IDF just kill him, no one would have been any the wiser and just counted him in the death toll.

    Quite the conundrum.

    Don't worry. I'm sure the BBC will commission another national inquiry to get to the bottom of this all.

    You'd probably never heard of let alone read the Lancet until they published an article criticising Israel.

    Did The Lancet do something else or are we still talking about that letter that was written into them that the writers acknowledged was just a theory but got all the grifters flapping about eleventy billion deaths followed by all the wets claiming it as evidence for justifying shouting at avocados in Waitrose at the weekend?

    My understanding from the original story is that the phone was found by personnel from the Red Crescent whilst they were excavating the bodies of the dead medics from shallow graves that had been dug in sand - the phone belonged to one of the dead medics... story also said one medic was still missing / to be accounted for ...

    You're still ignoring the fact that I have said multiple times that in my opinion the IDF definitely screwed up and deserves all the criticism it is getting.

    My only qualm from point one has been the fact that if you based your worldview on mainstream media, you'd think the IDF is the only army in the entire world that makes these mistakes and deserves this criticism.

    No wonder it's such a broken mess.

    Yeah I understand all that bit.

    I was more querying, now I know a member of red crescent is alive and well, walking about freely among us, telling us his story...how come the story was portrayed as if it was a massive cover up by the IDF, for example bodies in a mass grave, vehicles crushed by bulldozers and buried, the location not given by the IDF, I'm sure this is all stuff the BBC reported as well in a similar vein.

    The only thing that got me questioning it all, was how did the BBC get the interview, did they send Columbo on the job, where he swaggers about in his raincoat with one eye half closed, in the darkness the flicker of a match to light his cigar, then in a big puff of cigar smoke, a Red Crescent operative miraculously appears, in this so called big cover up by the darknesses of evil, and starts to tell us all the story...flashing 'Red Light Spells Danger'
