Maps and documents recovered from the bodies of Hamas attackers reveal a coordinated plan to target children and take hostages inside an Israeli village near Gaza.
Clearly a very controversial comment I’m replying to here but I say it has the right idea. Whenever you see a claim consider the source of the claim before you import it and its implications wholesale into your world-view. If only people practiced this attitude more.
You should see why this is important no matter if you lean pro-Israel or pro-Palestinian. On a subreddit that I won’t name, a highly-upvoted response to one of the atrocious images that emerged of the attack aftermath went: “that image is fake, there was a twitter community response to it saying so”. A twitter community response! That’s settled then! If your credulity for believing things is a function of how much you want to believe those things, you will only become stupider with time.
I know enough to condemn Hamas purely based on facts that are not in dispute. All those festival-goers are not somehow secretly active IDF combatants. They are not somehow magically alive. Israel did not fabricate the dead babies.
