Israeli outlet confirms IDF killed its own people on Oct. 7th
A debate on "Piers Morgan Uncensored."
After nine months of an Israeli mass murder campaign in Gaza, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz has confirmed what my colleagues Ali Abunimah of Electronic Intifada (EI) and Max Blumenthal of the Grayzone reported back in October: that Israel invoked the Hannibal Directive and killed its own citizens on Oct. 7th.
According to one Israeli military source, Israeli forces were ordered to turn the boundary area around Gaza into a “killing zone” — thereby knowingly killing Israelis in that zone. Under the Hannibal doctrine, Israel’s aim was to kill its own people rather than let them be traded in a future exchange for Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli prisons. The Israeli military has suppressed this killing of its own people on Oct. 7th all while manufacturing support for its rampage in Gaza ever since.
The same establishment media outlets that have long ignored this aspect of Oct. 7th smeared my independent media colleagues at Grayzone and EI for reporting it. This includes two hit pieces in the Washington Post, and even more brazenly, three pieces in Haaretz — which is now acknowledging what it has repeatedly attacked Max and Grayzone for reporting.
I went on “Piers Morgan Uncensored” to debate this issue and related matters. I was joined by the veteran, courageous Israeli journalist Gideon Levy along with two other Israelis — one a former IDF spokesperson who was not keen on letting me speak.
Wow! You did an amazing job fending off the b/s those two Israeli propagandists were slinging. They are masters of hasbara, with no end of blather to elide, confuse, finally resorting to claims you are a mere Canadian (haha) self hating Jew, anitemsite, while they wear victimhood on their sleeves and never, NEVER address the facts of Zionist/Israeli barbarism. I don't know how you keep your cool. Thank you for what you do Aaron!
Thank you so much for what you tried to do Aaron. I'm sorry you were subjected to their abuse. Who and what those Israeli spokesmen are was visible for all to see and is what the Palestinians have been up against from the start. There is absolutely no comparison between the final attempt of resistance, their prison outbreak and ensuing violence on October 7th that the Gazans were endlessly, mercilessly pushed towards and these last 9 months of Israeli genocide, barbarity, torture and butchery! And all that blathering propaganda is meaningless without the frame of decades of history and context.
