First, the attacks were not by Hamas but by a coalition of Palestinian resistance groups. The focus on Hamas is only to facilitate the erection of a bogey-monster.

Fourth, and most important, to condemn an act of resistance in a context where the occupation is not being condemned is utterly ridiculous and patently immoral. The occupation ought to be interrogated first before the resistance is.

Second, the conflict did not begin on Oct 7. Demands to condemn rely on a decontextualized version of events in order to paint the attacks as “unprovoked”. The chain of Israeli aggressions and brutalities in Gaza and the West Bank prior to Oct 7 is long, ugly, and continuous.

Third, claims the attacks comprised deplorable barbarities such as beheadings, rapes, torture etc. source back to Israeli military/govt. officials. There is no reason they should be believed without clear evidence. Bibi and the IDF are known liars; war is half propaganda.

‘Karni’, from an all-female tank company, told Israel’s N12 News that she was ordered to open tank fire on homes in the Holit kibbutz whether they contained civilians or not. She decided not to, but we know others did. Kibbutz Be’eri is the most striking example of this. /2

The first point to note is that taking out hundreds of fighters in civilians areas is nigh impossible w/out “firendly fire” casualties, all the more with the IOF’s “Hannibal protocol” of using max force to avoid hostage situations. Testimonial evidence corroborates this. /1

If all of this is not incontrovertible evidence that Israeli forces killed at least some—likely many!—of their own on Oct 7, I don’t know what is! Yet Israeli authorities continue to brush this under the carpet, because admitting to it would tar their case for genocide in Gaza.
