What does it mean for a medic to “be Hezbollah” in this context? Are you saying they are employed medics of the organisation? Party members? Combatants?

- aibrahem 5mo agoIn all your comments, you keep referring to the resistance groups fighting the Israeli occupation as terrorists, which I’m guessing makes you either an Israeli or pro-Israel. The IOF has been notoriously lying about killing and torturing civilians. Not only that, but even soldiers caught red-handed on video raping prisoners have not only gotten away scot-free but also been allowed to rejoin the army. Is there a reason why we should trust anything such a genocidal, morally corrupt organization has to say?

- LorenPechtel 5mo agoHow about actually rebutting things rather than attacking me?
- chabes 5mo agoHow is posting your comments attacking you?
- tomhow 5mo agoIt's an HN norm that digging up comments in old threads and weaponizing in the present discussion is not cool. I explained more here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47813445 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47813445
- tomhow 5mo agoWe don't approve of digging up comments from old threads and weaponizing them in the present thread. However, your activity in this thread is not consistent HN's guidelines and intended use. The most important and pertinent guidelines in this case are these ones: Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes. Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive. When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3." Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer... Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Omit internet tropes. Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
- tomhow 5mo agoPlease don't trawl through past threads for material to use in the current discussion. It breaks the guidelines about being kind, avoiding cross-examination, and using HN for political or ideological battle. A discussion thread should be able to stand on its own, and it's hard to know whether the surrounding context that applied when the commenter expressed their views in an older thread are relevant to the current topic.

- aibrahem 5mo agoI’m not sure if linking the video would violate HN rules, and I find it hard to believe that you haven’t at least heard about it. There is currently global outrage because the soldier in this video was acquitted and allowed to rejoin the army. The video was aired on Israeli TV and the IOF arrested the military official who authorized the leak. https://www.un.org/unispal/document/statement-ohchr-08aug24/ https://www.un.org/unispal/document/statement-ohchr-08aug24/ https://mondoweiss.net/2025/11/outrage-over-video-leak-of-israeli-soldiers-gang-rape-of-palestinian-exposes-rot-in-israeli-society/ https://mondoweiss.net/2025/11/outrage-over-video-leak-of-is... I belive if you search for ‘Israeli soldiers gang rape prison’ you’ll find multiple links to it.
