We all appreciate the resources you are all applying on the front of hostile media.

Your patience is of biblical proportions.

I am sure the IDF will eventually teach other armies a thing or two when they are faced with similar dilemmas in defending their civilians.

Keep up the good work because you are doing it for your country and for the hostages - NO we have not forgotten them!

Hamas supporters pervert clear principles of war in a well organized disinformation campaign

So many twisted lies in the media about the reality of what you are doing . It’s deliberate . Keep up the amazing work you are all doing . So brave every single one of you . The truth prevails and thankfully you are gaining considerable ground .

The use of temporary humanitarian corridors is great and the help in evacuating hospital patients where possible as long as it does not cost soldiers lives. But at the end of the day with the current media you are damned if you do and damned if you do not. Might as well clean up HAMAS cleanly and get it over with ASAP then there will be nothing to report.

Thank you. So grateful for these excellent and informative posts. They are so helpful to those of us who want strong evidence to put forward on social media about Israel's actual actions. It was so beautiful to see the Israeli snipers and Israeli tanks defending the evacuating Palestinian civilians from Hamas gunmen. This aligns with Jewish values and really moved me, and I'm sure others. Thank you so, so, so much for all you do and please tell Israelis that we Jews all over the world are with them -- as, actually, are countless Americans who are good people who are standing with us (and tell me so on social media). Am Yisrael chai! And a huge amount of gratitude to the brave IDF soldiers who have died protecting Israel. -Amy Alkon

Also, I've noticed something. I recently stood up to a mob marching through my Venice neighborhood calling for the mass murder of Jews (river to the sea, etc). I was the lone person who went out there and stood up against it and I posted the video and then a terrorist-licking hate parrot did as well.

I have gotten a huge amount of people commenting on it (a lot of them hateful and anti-Israel). I notice something.

Though these accounts have existed for a while in most cases, they do not have original posts. Always just "repost." This could be a coincidence; I'm an author and newspaper columnist and I post because it's like talking for me.

However, it's just so frequent (and I say that as someone who has probably blocked 500 people or more in two days), it seems to be maybe a bot thing or something? Can somebody who's a tech expert weigh in? At least help me understand so I can post about this. No names, promise.

Most people who understand the Middle East do not succumb to all the propaganda and lies. I am just glad that Israel doesn’t listen to the idiotic calls for ceasefire. Most governments would seek retribution for what was done on 7 October. We won’t forget that day or let them ‘edit out’ the victims in this conflict.

Clear and most helpful. Reinforces the image of an entity not just committed to upholding international law but ensuring the primacy of morality.

Anyone correct me if I am mistaken but it feels like there is a pre-agreed number of times that key words are repeated in every question when interviewing IDF spokespersons such as, Palestinian casualties, Palestinian babies, Palestinians babies (repetition intended) Palestinian hospitals under attack, Palestinians hospitals running out of fuel while reference to hostages, babies held hostage by Hamas have to be wrenched from their mouths by the interviewees themselves and even then grudgingly?

It could be my imagination of course, I am afterall pro-Israel!

So true! It is heartbreaking that even if you mention the hostages they decide to veer into a history lesson of 75 years or talk about proportionality! They dehumanise and conceptualise civilians; babies, children and elderly detained and held by these evil people. It’s important to always bring it back to 7 Oct

I think it would be a good idea to offer hospital help to all patients in these hospitals either in Gaza or even in Israel on a temporary basis so as to clear the places so that they can’t be used as human shields.

Heck, Gazan's who want to leave the area of fighting are prevented from doing so by Hamas who wishes for more civilian deaths for propaganda purposes. What makes you think Hamas is going to let the hospitals remove patients to Israel? Or are you suggesting some sort of virtue signal?
