Let’s remember …The Hannibal Directive

On Oct 7, the IOF was instructed to carry out the Hannibal Directive. No hostages should be taken by Hamas. So they did. IOF attack helicopter, tanks and drones were used to kill their own people, Israelis.

    The comment in the screenshot gives the impression that the killing of Israeli civilians was - in fact - done by Israel themselves just to be able to blame the Hamas or Palestinians. And that is very clearly bullshit. Someone linked the Haaretz article on the topic in which the details are laid out. And it’s a difference if there was (and I would say understandably) chaos and bad decisions were being made or if it happened intentionally to - and that’s implied in my opinion - justify the attack on Gaza.

    Obviously there is a whole lot to criticize about Israel and especially it’s extremely right wing government. But implying what the comment implies is borderline antisemitic.

      No one said anything about Jewish people, conflating the actions of a Zionist genocidal settler colonial state with that of every Jewish person internationally is dangerous for Jews worldwide and increases anti-Semitism globally.

      In the US 60% of Jews believe Israel is committing war crimes. Are these people anti-Semitic?

        it’s comforting seeing this sentiment come from a mainstream lemmy instance; i need to reminders that liberals can sometimes detect hasbara too.

            nothing about that is disappointing.

            out of curiosity: why use a primary instance that’s displayed antipathy towards communism?

              I caught a temporary ban on my main account on .ml last week and had been meaning to make another account on an instance with less limited visibility for a while anyway, partly so I can preach to people who aren’t already firmly in the choir and partly for the wider variety of/increased activity in smut comms
