signing a letter “No hostage’s left behind”

Damn, the people hating on it are barely pretending to not be antisemites anymore

I'm Jewish and I understand that October 7th was basically orchestrated by Israel and most of the deaths done by the IDF on their own people, the baby thing was a lie, there's been no credible accounts of SA (though I absolutely don't doubt it could happen, it'd be dwarfed by the systematic amount of SA done to the Palestinian people daily by Israeli forces). They also didn't give a shit about hostages and would actively try to kill them.

It's not antisemitic to be anti-zionist.

I understand that October 7th was basically orchestrated by Israel

Yahya Sinwar's notes where he wrote extensively about planning October 7th and his expected response from Israel to the 10/7 attack are freely available for anyone to look up and see how literally the first thing you say is a lie. He even speculated in his notes that a nuke might be used by Israel in the wake of the 10/7 attack

most of the deaths done by the IDF on their own people

This is a particularly stupid lie. Hamas filmed the attack and live streamed it themselves.

yeah, i'm not sure how it went from so much footage released literally as it happened... to people believing it was all an inside job or a hoax. Crazy that it happened so fast too. Like it makes 9/11 conspiracy theorists look sane.

I have no doubt, given the extent of operations of Israel throughout the middle east, that they didn't have some idea that an attack was coming, they certainly latched onto it as both a means to get support abroad, and kill as many Palestinians as they could, and anyone connected to Iran.

I don't get how people can't understand the nuance of 10/7 being a real attack, with dead kids, raped women, etc, while Israel can also still do terrible shit in retaliation, neither make the other invalid...

We literally had every major news organization in the world show Trump supporters violently attack the Capitol and attempt to overturn an election but 5 years later people will look at you with a straight face and say it was peaceful. It’s pretty easy to see how 10/7 went to conspiracy theory shit.
