    I agreed with this theory as soon as somebody showed me the destruction months ago. There’s no fucking way that Hamas had enough firepower to cause that much damage, and the released hostages sharing positive testimonies makes it hard to believe that the rebels’ goal was mindless destruction. The Palestinians may indeed resent all of the foreigners on their land, but they have better shit to do than waste precious ammunition on unarmed targets.

    Do you know what this means? ‘The largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust’ (if you don’t count Argentina) was committed not by Palestinians but by Zionists, the same dullards who pretend to care about Jewish life and claim that their awful little neocolony is necessary for Jewish safety. The IOF’s repeated massacres of unarmed Jews should be the strongest refutation of that yet. Zionism is antisemitism.

    I hope this ends up well documented. It destroys the zionist narrative of an intentional Hamas massacre of civilians and instead puts the blame squarely on the zionist occupiers themselves in their zeal to prevent having to exchange the kidnapped Palestinian children for colonizers, ordering their deaths.

    People are so eager to blame women for what they are wearing when they get assaulted, but don’t even bat an eye when settlers throw a party on the border of the open air prison camp for the natives whose land they are occupying.

    Still waiting for revised Hamas “massacre” numbers that don’t include Israeli friendly fire.

      Considering the original israeli death toll was 1400 (-almost 400 soldiers and police) but then they had to lower it 200 because they counted 200 Hamas bodies that were too burnt/mangled to ID and also in close enough proximity to israeli bodies to be confusable, I am confident in saying Hamas did nothing wrong. If they killed any “civilians” during the prison brake they were resisting or caught in a cross fire.

    Owen Jones mentions something about thousands of hours of footage they don’t see; if some of the videos they were shown were this damning, what the heck is in the rest of the footage? Also hilariously, the IOF place so much value in themselves they don’t realize that Hamas fighters asking concertgoers if they’re soldiers or not isn’t a daming indictment of them and that not everyone is a fan of the IOF.

      Surprising that Jones is on the right side of this and isn’t moralising about violence never solving anything or some such crap. He’s usually on the side of imperialism punching left.

    How is the Cradle as far as good quality left journos go? I’ve been collecting receipts on most of the articles mentioned here so its not a matter of whether I believe this article, I’d pieced it together (although I’m looking forward to translating the article that demonstrates that the Hannibal protocol was officially ordered; the last I read was Al Jazeera speculating that maybe it was but it hadn’t been official policy in a long time,) but I’m just a guy who does political organizing and the last thing I feel like dealing with is someone motivated by me confronting them with this article due to their past comments, or even well-meaning but muddle headed comrades, throwing it back at me that its a bad source periodical, and showing some goofy article about time travel or something
