I am… skeptical. Just based on humanity’s track record.

Well the Israeli government has said there is no evidence as such.

Do you have a cite for this claim? The TikTok you posted did not provide evidence for the claim that this story wasn’t true and certainly did not say that the Israeli government said that there was no evidence.

I’ll try, my TikTok has just started blowing up with multiple videos of this. I just saw the headline on one of the videos but do not remember the source.

In any case, I’m sure it will hit the MSM in a couple of days or so.

Hold up. I just finished the tiktok in full. It denies the rapes which definitely did occur as well as the 250 dead at the desert festival. This tik tok os spme EXTREME misinformation.

Did you watch the entire video you linked? It literally denies the massacare at the desert festival. That’s quite literal Hamas apologist propaganda.

I saw some coverage somewhere today, CBS I think, there were 3 journalists who each reported on a particular area. The first one was at the festival and there were dead bodies on the ground in the coverage. The second reporter talked about the decapitated babies and children and the 3rd was a story about a family who requested 10 people to come to the funeral of their daughter in order to satisfy a rule or law of some sort, but thousands upon thousands showed up.

There is the video of the woman with the very bloody pants being drug by her hair into a vehicle. It’s possible she was sexually assaulted and or raped. From the look of her pants, it had to be very violent.

Posting a fake video is a mistake. Arguing for it after that’s been pointed out, and aggressively challenging other posters is not. I’m banning you from this thread. Don’t post in it again.

For the record, I know two people (that I know of) who have lost friends at the festival, and several more people who have lost friends and family members in other attacks on civilians on Saturday - and I’m not a very social person. It’s a small country.

Unless someone thinks I’m a liar.

A minyan. Some types of prayer service require a minyan – ten adult Jewish men; some congregations also count women, and under some circumstances a child can be counted.

To add to your correct answer, “men” in this context is at least 13 years old.

Broken link by me.

That’s not google. That is a repost of a disinformation article, published in Anadolu Agency, a Turkish news source rated as far right and noted that it publishes misleading reports, and omits information that may damage conservative causes.

Disgusting to even try that shit here.
