    Excellent commentary. Israel is having too much fun destroying everything Palestinian, including all that is meaningful to them & necessary for their existence & flourshing as a people. Netanyahu himself laid out what he thought that Israelis needed to do, when he gave them his “Amalek” speech in Hebrew. Israel needs to be stopped. They’re not going to stop themselves.

    Netanyahu will never get rid of Hammas-unless he get rid of all the Arabs . Can he not see that all the children will grow up to be Hamma- because what they have witnessed will live with them all their lives.To have pemernant peace is to treat them with respect and understanding- in this world - you get what you give.

    Also that Hamas asked for an independent investigation about what actually happened on Oct 7 immediately after it happened

    Its not farfetched to see plausibility that israel knew about the attack and used it to take revenge.

    If no other reason, Israel is in trouble because all of these “kids” around the world protesting this massacre are our future leaders and they will NOT have this kind of impunity the way our current leaders insist on giving them now.

    I heard that Hamas offered to give back all of the civilian hostages in return for the IDF not entering the Gaza Strip? On Oct 9 or 10 ?

      @scottcamuto8410 lol you're 100% correct, which is why Israel's reputation is currently in the gutter, despite the humongous hasbara, media, political, technological and diplomatic machine at its disposal.

    Far Too much focus on October 7th. The Gaza Strip, over years and decades, suffered many terrible things and much suffering at the hands of this colonialist occupying power that dwarf by far anything that happened on October 7th.
    There are three misrepresentations:
    1. It is not the “Gaza Catastrophe”. It is Genocide and Societicide
    2. It is not the “Israel/Palestine conflict”. It is Jewish immigrant settler colonialism
    and the Zionist colonialist project to ethnically cleanse Palestine versus
    an anti-colonialist, anti-occupation, anti-ethnic cleansing and anti-dispossession struggle by the native population
    3. October 7th has been mischaracterised as “massacres”. October 7th was
    a series of military operations against 8 Israeli military bases. In the confusion
    and panic the Israeli military killed a lot of Israeli civilians and military personnel.
    There was the ‘Hannibal Directive’: the killing of Israelis by Israelis to ensure
    they are not taken hostage to be used for bargaining later on.

    I was expecting a more historical analysis, especially discussing the history of the Zionists and the Palestinians from the late 1800s. and the events leading up to October 7th.

    Most of the guy with the tie that stutters numbers were off. Most killed were IDF active duty or reservists.

    I'm curious about the speaker bottom left when stating that Hamas using hospitals is part of their strategy, and she was certain Hamas had used Shifa hospital as a base at one time or another, is their evidence for either assertion?

    So, the number of dead Israeli civilians has fallen from 1,200 to 800. How many of those civilians were victims of the Hannibal Directive ? How many were reservists, albeit in civilian clothes ? It is the case that every Israeli over 18 has to perform military service, men & women. Perhaps Hamas should have waited for "civilians" to don a uniform & pick up a weapon ? The fog of war or deliberate action ?
