As an orthodox jew, I condemn the terrorist acts and war crimes of Israel. I support the creation of a free and independent Palestinian state. This will end all the violence. As Jews we need to accept that Israel is the occupying force and we need to do the right thing and give Palestinians their own independent state free from Israeli interferences. CRITCIZING ISRAEL ISN'T ANTISEMITISM!!! JUDAISM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ZIONISM !!!!

Why should we be careful about criticising Israel? Are we careful about criticising Rwanda, Armenia, America, Britain, Australia, New Zealand, and Cambodia? Racism has many phenomena.

It reminds me of an episode in the Iraq invasion of Kuwait in 1990 when a "volunteer nurse" from a large hospital in Kuwait City traveled to Washington D.C. to testify before Congress about Iraqi soldiers pulling premature babies from their incubators and throwing them on the floor. It turns out she was actually the daughter of a high ranking Kuwaiti diplomat who had not worked in the hospital and there were no such incidents of premature babies being thrown on the floor. It was a choregraphed bit of political theatre put together by a major PR firm in D.C. hired by Kuwait to tug at the heartstrings of the public to support a military operation to expel Iraq from Kuwait. The whole truth didn't come out until after the ground invasion succeeded in defeating Sadam's army.

We (America) launched a similar campaign against Iraq during the attack in Kuwait [1990-1991] where Iraqi soldiers were accused of killing babies in incubators and let's not forget the "Weapons of mass destruction" that never happened nor existed. This media campaign was necessary in order to gain support by the American people for the war against Iraq - Operation Desert Storm. Just my thoughts - Semper Fidelis

One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back

At Al Jazeera's Investigative Unit we've conducted a forensic,
0:03
meticulous examination of the events of October the 7th.
0:08
We uncovered very real crimes committed by Hamas and others.
0:11
But I think what was perhaps most significant
0:14
were the crimes we discovered that did not happen.
0:17
And it's hugely concerning that these revelations have been virtually
0:21
entirely ignored by the Western press.
0:24
What's extraordinary is the Israelis were aware of the plans.
0:28
Hamas were actually training quite openly for this operation
0:32
and they were actually placing the training videos online
0:36
so anyone could view them.
0:37
On the very night of October the 7th before dawn spotters along the fence
0:42
are reporting back to HQ and the head of Shin Bet
0:45
and the head of military intelligence take this seriously enough
0:47
that in the middle of the night they're up and talking to each other
0:51
and they conclude it's just another training exercise.
0:54
And what is extraordinary is that they don't even
0:57
raise the alert level to number one.
1:00
The most basic alert level would have made a huge difference
1:03
and they don't do that which means when Hamas bursts through the fence at
1:07
6:30am they catch many of the defenders in their beds.
1:10
You can see many of the soldiers are killed in their beds.
1:13
Hamas had anticipated most of their fighters would be killed
1:16
trying to get through the fence.
1:17
In fact only a small number were killed trying to get through the fence
1:20
they were as much taken by surprise as anyone
1:23
by the performance of Israeli intelligence and the Israeli military.
1:27
Crucially also they were taking taken by surprise by this very large music festival
1:32
that was taking place which they don't seem to have been aware of.
1:35
Having over run the military bases the game plan was to grab hostages
1:39
and take them back and they do this on a large scale
1:41
but they also clearly kill very large numbers of unarmed civilians as well.
1:46
The Israelis were then extraordinarily slow to respond.
1:50
Now they scramble Apache helicopters but there's no ground control
1:55
it's pretty clear that in the chaos some hostages at least
1:58
were hit by by Apache helicopter fire.
2:01
We've identified 27 people who were clearly taken hostage
2:05
taken captive and were taken away from their homes
2:07
but never made it to the fence died somewhere
2:09
between their homes and the fence.
2:11
There's a fair chance that a number of them were killed by Apache helicopters within
2:15
the Kibbutzes we've identified 18 people who were pretty much certainly killed by the police
2:21
and the Army as they arrived 12 of them a specific incident in Kibbutz Be'eri where you have a large
2:27
number of gunmen around 40 gunmen holding up in a house with 13 hostages a tank is brought in and
2:34
opens fire on the house there are two survivors from this incident which is why we know about
2:38
it there may be other incidents we don't know about because everyone was killed but there
2:41
are two survivors from this who spoke to Israeli media there's a common sense thing you just have
2:46
to look at the scale of the destruction and it's clear that 1200 men armed with rocket propelled
2:52
grenades and machine guns did not do all of this the Hannibal directive which was something that
2:57
was developed in the 1980s by the Israelis and it was basically to avoid situations where their
3:03
enemies would capture one or two or three Israeli soldiers and then effectively holding them to
3:08
Ransom there was one occasion where the Israelis released over a thousand Palestinian prisoners in
3:13
return for a single Israeli soldier so an order was issued whereby they said it's better that we
3:19
kill everyone than allow people to be captured now this was supposedly rescinded several years
3:24
ago but at midday on October the 7th the Army revived the Hannibal directive put it into effect
3:32
70 Vehicles were hit at least in some of the cases everyone in the vehicle was killed the Israeli
3:38
military does not deny the report the peculiarity of the days after October 7 is that the Israeli
3:46
media and subsequently the international media choose to focus not on the very real and extensive
3:52
crimes that Hamas and others did commit but on crimes they did not commit and this had
3:56
two focuses in the days immediately after it's to do with babies the most dramatic one is we see an
4:01
allegation that there were 40 babies killed many of them beheaded this is very simple to deal with
4:07
because we have a comprehensive list of the Dead we know that two babies are killed on October the
4:13
7th one is an 10-month old child who is hit by a bullet fired through a safe room door the other
4:19
is a child who dies after a emergency cesarian a bedin child in fact now any story about babies
4:26
that does not relate to those two and there are a lot lot of stories about babies is not true we
4:33
know it's not true this has enormous implications for the other wave of atrocity stories that began
4:40
very quickly which is to do with sexual violence and particularly the Israeli assertion that it
4:46
was widespread and systematic to be clear in the film we are not saying that there were no
4:51
rapes on October the 7th we simply don't know what we are saying is that there simply is not
4:57
the evidence there's not the forensic evidence there's not the Visual Evidence there's not the
5:02
photographic evidence and there is not the witness evidence to support the allegation
5:07
of widespread and systematic rape the Israelis have this strange system where they Farm out the
5:12
collection of bodies after disasters and terrorist attacks and so on to an organization called zacha
5:18
who are Ultra Orthodox religious volunteers they collect the bodies prepare them for religious
5:24
burial and so on a character that many people will have seen in the days afterwards is Yosi
5:29
land who was the southern commander of zacha who was on television a great deal he said two piles
5:36
of 10 children each were tied to the back burned to death you then see a phone call which Netanyahu
5:45
makes to President Biden where he repeats this story in fact he embellishes it they took dozens
5:50
of children bound them up burned them and executed them terribly important this cuz it was entirely
5:58
untrue we know the house he's talking about he's talking about the house in kibot ber which was
6:03
the house that was stormed by Israeli police and military and where it is almost certain that all
6:08
of the hostages were killed by the Israeli police and military there were two children there two
6:12
twins but no other children so we know the story is untrue Mr land told a number of other stories
6:18
there's one particularly notorious one about the fetus being cut out of a pregnant woman the baby
6:23
that was connected to the court was stabbed and she he was shot in the back we simply know this
6:31
is untrue the list of the Dead show there's no such victim Mr land said you know I have
6:37
a picture of this atrocity if you want to see the picture I have the picture of it this is the baby
6:42
I'm sorry to be graphic here but I I can't see a baby here you can't see the baby because but
6:48
this is the picture of the of the mother it was a piece of charred flesh it wasn't a baby it
6:53
certainly wasn't a baby so it was interesting and psychologically I'm not quite sure why he offered
6:58
to show me a photo that he did didn't have I'd point out as well that zacha was an organization
7:02
that was in trouble there had been a major Scandal its founder had been accused of child sexual abuse
7:08
there was a financial Scandal it had been found to be cooking the books it's raised an awful lot
7:13
of money since October the 7th these stories were clearly useful and they were useful to the Israeli
7:19
government in the film we see Benjamin Netanyahu visiting zaka volunteers and thanking them for
7:24
talking to the world's media and stressing that this is another front in the war when
7:36
why does this matter why does it matter whether this type of atrocity was committed but not that
7:40
type people were killed in this way not that way it matters because the murder of babies and
7:45
widespread rape has a particular resonance it's particularly triggering the Israeli government
7:51
and its supporters when they justify the brutality of the subsequent bombardment and invasion of the
7:57
Gaza Strip again and again and again what they always reference is babies and rape young girls
8:04
who were raped and then murdered women brutally raped and murdered little kids who are beheaded
8:11
pictures of terrorists beheading children these bastards put these babies in an oven and put on
8:17
their oven we found the kid a few hours later this is something you see in previous conflicts as well
8:23
if you want to dehumanize an enemy if you want to desensitize people to the suffering that is
8:28
inflicted on that enemy then you portray them as barbarians basically as Savages as people who are
8:34
not deserving of Humane treatment and that's why it's relevant that's why it's important to pick
8:39
apart a lot of the world's leading media Outlets have done in-depth investigations where they
8:44
have concluded there was widespread systematic instrumentalized weaponized rape the New York
8:50
Times makes a particular feature of the story of a young woman she was killed early in the morning
8:54
9 miles north of the music festival site as she and her husband were fleeing the New York Times
9:00
in its big December investigation into sexual violence leads with this and about a third of
9:07
the article consists of her story and it's immediately undermined because the woman's
9:11
sister then posts on Instagram immediately afterwards this isn't true we know she wasn't
9:16
raped she was texting us until minutes before her death it's also the case that her husband had a
9:21
lengthy phone conversation immediately after her death with his brother and again made no mention
9:27
of rape so it's very important that because it's the central most compelling piece of information
9:33
in one of the biggest investigations done by one of the world's most prestigious media Outlets the
9:39
New York Times and it turns out not to be true it's done by three journalists one of them turns
9:43
out to be somebody who worked in some capacity for Israeli intelligence previously who has virtually
9:48
no journalistic experience and who had liked genocidal media posts it's very interesting with
9:55
Anna Schwartz she gives an interview in Hebrew to an Israeli Channel she actually lays out how
10:01
difficult they were finding it to find evidence that they they were talking to all the hospitals
10:05
and all the psychiatric clinics and so on and that there was simply no evidence at all there
10:10
were no Witnesses had come forward no no victims had come forward at all I think she's telling this
10:14
as if to show what digging they had to do but it's actually very revealing in the end it's
10:20
quite clear they fall back on the same sources as everyone else Israeli government officials IDF
10:25
officers and First Responders all sources which were discredited by the baby stories so no babies
10:33
were beheaded no babies were were thrown into ovens and there is no real evidence for widespread
10:40
and systematic rape now it's very clear why the Israelis might want these stories to to circulate
10:47
what's less clear is why very reputable Western news and media Outlets should swallow them so
10:54
uncritically particularly given the track record of the Israeli government and the idea which has
11:00
been shown again and again and again in the past to have been less than truthful in the accounts it
11:05
gives because our war is against Hamas not against the people of Gaza while this mission is urgent we
11:12
will continue to fulfill it with care and with a commitment to the sanctity of Life both Israeli
11:18
and Palestinian the response to our film October the 7th has been interesting the response is not
11:26
to criticize and to pick a part and say we've got it wrong uh they don't do that at all what they
11:30
do is they simply ignore you which on one level I take as a compliment because I think there are
11:34
all sorts of people out there who would very much like to pick apart what we're doing and to destroy
11:38
it and discredit it and I think they take one look at it and decide they can't really do it so what
11:43
they do do which in a way is even more damaging is just to entirely ignore us this is significant
11:49
because so often what we are doing is critiquing the way the mainstream media has covered the
11:54
story which may well be of course precisely why the media doesn't want to look at what we we've
11:59
done so in a way the treatment of this in many ways Echoes the treatment of our earlier series
12:04
the labor files which offered a critique of the dominant media narrative about Corbin and the
12:09
Corbin years on the anti-Semitism crisis the allegation of anti-Semitism clearly is a very
12:16
powerful weapon that can be wielded in defense of the Israeli State I think sometimes particularly
12:22
by the Israel state is wielded very cynically and very deliberately when the ICC investigates Israel
12:28
for f war crimes this is pure anti-Semitism it's not the case in Western media and Western socities
12:37
that you cannot criticize Israel you can now you have to be a bit careful about how you do it but
12:42
certainly at the moment during the assault on Gaza you certainly can what you cannot do is
12:47
to question the fundamental philosophy of Zionism what you are not allowed to do is to say what all
12:54
Palestinians would say Israel is a state whose defining feature is and has always been that it
13:00
is structured to ensure the domination of one ethnicity over another that it is in effect an
13:05
aparte state which is what all of the world's human rights organizations now describe it as
13:10
the enormous peculiarity and dysfunction of Western media with Israel is not only does
13:15
it not say that you're actually not allowed to say that and this renders criticism of Israel
13:21
perilous terrain people are very on edge they're very aware that they're straying into dangerous
13:27
territory they're very aware they have to choose their words terribly carefully otherwise they will
13:32
be misconstrued you can see this happening at its worst within the labor party where particularly
13:37
Jewish people are far far more likely to be suspended and expelled for anti-Semitism from
13:42
the labor party the non-jewish people but there is something more fundamental that goes on which
13:48
regards the Palestinian people as a whole once you have tainted them with the stain of anti-Semitism
13:55
you have opened the door to you have facilitated the dehumanization of Palestinians which is the
14:02
psychological prerequisite of Israeli brutality towards the Palestinians and of Western complicity
14:08
in that brutality Palestinians will often make the point that they did not choose who their occupier
14:14
was who their colonizer was so in fighting back yes they are inevitably fighting back
14:20
against zionists and Jews it doesn't mean they're anti-semitic one has to ask ones the question are
14:25
we really saying that if they had been colonized by Greeks or Italians they wouldn't be resisting
14:31
their occupation of course they would 36 Israeli children were killed on October
14:36
the 7th and this understandably got widespread International media coverage at this stage I
14:43
think over 14,000 Palestinian children have been killed and you would expect the outrage and the
14:51
coverage to be proportionately greater and it's not
in future people will look back at what is
14:57
being done which is essent the flattening of a whole series of towns and the mass murder
15:03
of thousands and thousands of unarmed civilians almost half of whom are children and they will
15:08
be absolutely bewildered by How the West allowed this to happen under its very noses with weapons that were being supplied by the West
there is a rupture in the relationship of large numbers of
15:22
people with the political media class there is a fundamental alienation that is going on right
15:30
now as a result of what is happening in the Gaza Strip I think that's very dangerous for the future
