A main courthouse in Gaza has been destroyed by the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), according to several Israel media outlets.

Footage, showing the demolition of the Palace of Justice, was published on 4 December by Israel media.

    The issue is then any and every building can be justified as being a “Hamas building” just because they were the group in charge.

      This was a courthouse, not just any building.

        Government buildings would make up most of the major and largest buildings in Gaza.

        Hamas is famous for brutal and public executions in the name of justice. I can definitely see the courthouse being a symbol of terror for the local population, and something you would tear down when attempting to remove a tyrannical government.

            Er, they absolutely did destroy the Bastille. The revolutionary leader Mirabeau started it himself.

            I mean we can disagree on the morality of things, but let’s at least keep the facts correct. You’ll find that you cannot visit the Bastille today. Because the Revolutionaries demolished it as a symbol of the monarchy.

              Unbelievable the disinformation spread on this site…

                On the contrary, it’s incredibly believable, because people generally care much more about their own personal emotional validation than anything annoying that might get in the way of that, like facts.

                All while simultaneously circlejerking over how rational and logical we all are, as opposed to those idiot conservatives!

                Snark aside, I’ve started to believed that, any time people get emotionally or socially attached to some issue - which includes their own identity as a “good person” - their brains simply shut off, and it takes a level of active work and elevation of truth over validation to overcome that on any platform like this.

                  @BraveSirZaphod I think a lot of it’s just the human tendency to be lazy about sourcing.

                  Once at a dinner party I overheard someone confidently telling the people at the other end of the table something that I’d just told him about 20 minutes earlier. There’s no way he’d had time to verify it but he was already treating it as factual.

          No that’s ISIS.

          Hamas is not famous for that.
