…I’m not amplifying Hamas. I’m amplifying the meticulous investigations conducted by different human rights agencies that looked at the evidence. And the evidence is overwhelming. This has nothing to do with Hamas and I absolutely reject your characterization.
I’m sorry, did Israel do nothing to the Palestinians in either Gaza or the West Bank between 2014 and October 7th? It went from “no ground invasion” to suddenly 1400 dead Israeli civilians later? Because if you think thats the case, then I would suggest to you that you need to read both the Amnesty International Report and the HRW report as well.
And again, I must absolutely stress this, the death of those 1400 dead Israeli civilians was a disgusting, despicable crime against humanity. I’m not downplaying it or excusing it at all. I was physically ill when I read the stories. Inexcusable evil.
But I’m not going to stop saying we should “stop killing children now” because of something that apparently didn’t happen in 2014.
Do we believe the IDF?
I don’t have much faith in either, to be honest. I take statements from both sides at face value, but with a great big huge grain of salt.
