Even AP makes the "evidence" sound weak:

It did not prove definitively that Hamas militants operated in the tunnels underneath the UNRWA facility, but it did show that at least a portion of the tunnel ran underneath the facility’s courtyard. The military claimed that the headquarters supplied the tunnels with electricity. ...

Lazzarini said the agency has not revisited the headquarters since staff evacuated Oct. 12, and is unaware of how the facility may have been used.

This kind of thing doesn't really justify shutting down an aid agency, let alone killing 30,000 civilians.

In fact, it's odd that Israel's army and politicians don't see that when they come out with evidence this weak, it actually undermines their case for violence. Before, we might wonder whether they know something we don't that supports their bombardment of Gaza. After seeing this "evidence", the best they could muster, we know they have no justification for it.

You know Tucker will whine about it endlessly if he can't get an interview. And also if he can.

ARM chips are also RISC, but not the open-souce variety. RISC-V is a particular RISC architecture that is open-source.

And don't forget that for everyone who dies there are more than two others injured, and many of these injuries will be life-changing. Plus the psychological trauma.

Can you link a source for those estimates?

More than 26,000 lethal "mistakes" so far (plus 60,000 non-lethal), and counting...

But hey, everyone makes mistakes right?

The only people who can prevent the storing of captures of their sites on the Wayback Machine are site owners themselves. Explain to me why they would want exclude this particular capture?

That doesn't seem to be evidence either way really. They might exclude it because they're covering something up that they said, or because it was not written by them and misrepresents their movement.

Often they're not speaking in good faith.

The appropriate thing to compare it to is the concept of genocide. Anything else is a distraction.

So here's a widely used definition:

Not everyone accepts this definition, but those who disgree tend to argue that it's not inclusive enough, not that it's too broad:

It's already there in the summary of the article. They're calling it religious discrimination.
