I really believe this is one of the biggest blindspots of the Israeli public. They are still unable to even acknowledge how many people died on Oct 7th to the military response. This author has family in Be'eri, where the tanks shot houses that were filled with hostages. He has to know about the various documented instances of Hannibal Directive happening on Oct 7th. Just another one of the "it's Hamas' fault" denialism that he writes about in other cases, but cannot even mention. The latest genocide campaign really started when the commanders authorized the 'killing zone' along the Gaza fence area that included the rave festival grounds.
This denial is critical to keep the big lie of Oct 7th alive, to maintaining some thin veneer of victimhood over the top of continuing genocidal acts through out Palestine.
Hamas wanted hostages. Mass death was not in their interests at all, and in fact runs counter to their goals.
It's suspicious, is all I'm saying.
