Does Mandy Patinkin have a valid point?

So your evidence of Hamas being the primary factor in Gazans not leaving is...the hundreds of thousands of civilians that have repeatedly moved around Gaza during this conflict? What is your logic even.

My point is they don't have to. They control a sizeable portion of the population through sheer fear. Sure some subset of people get desperate enough and are forced to move but you're downplaying how much influence Hamas has over the area and people.

And do tell me how Hamas runs a surveillance state a la the Kremlin or China. Last I checked Israel runs telco in the region and is the one with a gigantic surveillance state since that kind of requires money and savvy Hamas doesn't have.

That wasn't my point. You mean to tell me you really thought I said the rubble in Gaza under Hamas was comparable with Chinese surveillance state?

And hint: China and the DPRK both heavily rely on controlling telco and internet in their countries, which Hamas can't do for obvious reasons.

Also you're ducking the question as usual, probably about one-third of dead Gazans were killed by Israeli forces while in safe zones. Is that a handful in your book? One-third?


I am just disappointed you're not using the 46% number. When lying it's usually best to go big or go home.

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it" - you know who...

Al Jazeera has time to count every death in the safe zone but couldn't be bothered to cover scores of dead in Pakistan during the pro Gaza protest after a ceasefire(so literally nothing bigger was happening to do with the conflict).

World media are so incredibly dishonest. They claim they have IDF data but zero reference as to how it was obtained. Like it was magically sent to them. If you can find explanation how "IDF's internal data" landed in the hands of journalists I look forward to reading it.
 
That's right Hamas just rounds up their enemies and publicly executes them...great logic as always...

Do you know what it's like to be ruled by fear? Of course not, it doesn't even enter your mind living in your bubble. Do you think DPRK monitors every inch of its territories for Un's decisions to be carried out? Do you think even surveillance state like China has to monitor every inch of its land to be effective in its edicts? Do you think Kremlin has to arrest or kill literally every critic?
Being a contrarian quisling again. What a surprise

Just keeps asking absurd questions with no basis in logic

Also likes to move goalposts

You were discussing hamas stopping people moving earlier in the conflict and his reply is "at this point in the war", he tries to pull bad faith shit like this all the time
