I think the Israeli government is authoritarian, and their scorched earth tactics against Palestinians are war crimes, but you're not doing the cause any favors by invoking the Nazis. Criticize their actual behavior.

In a context where we have the lies about the hospitals having tunnels under them, that 40 non-existent babies were beheaded and where some key facts about Oct 7 have somewhat unravelled, how far would you even bother policing the words of people wishing for a liberated Palestinian?

The Israelis and their supporters are also notorious liars and frequently try to claim that Muslims or brown people were responsible for the Holocaust in Europe.

They've bombed civilians before and the intelligence they send tend to be garbage according to EU after they looked through the reams of documents the Israelis sent them. As an occupier, Israel behaves like a country at war all the time, they lie, kill and cheat perpetually.

Wait what came out about the October 7 attack?

Half the people on the list of deaths Israel put out had Lt and Sgt on their names. So they're soldiers. And the official number has gone down from over 1400 to 1200.

Jesus Christ, so 600 civilians? And I'm guessing it's over 10k in Palestine now? I'll have to look for a source to verify this but if you have one in the meantime that'd be appreciated.

I'm saying half because of the list they put out, but apparently it looks to be 700-800 civilians when counted. The list they originally put out on twitter was an image.

These are all still Israel's numbers, who are notorious liars. And we also know they were shooting and bombing hostages along with Hamas fighters indiscriminately during the battle.

You can see 'half' the image have Lt and Sgt on their names, sometimes in full. https://twitter.com/QudsNen/status/1722045168382021929
