      I didn’t say all the facts were unsubstantiated?

      It’s like this: make some fake documents that match the known facts, and then in those documents include fake evidence to support “facts” that push an agenda.

      A document says “go to house A, take hostage, burn it down, eat the baby”. We know they went to the house, took a hostage, and burned it down. No baby was found, but the document says the baby was eaten so clearly it must have happened because the document is true.

          You can not know if the bodies and videos verify everything in those documents! There are doubtlessly things included in those documents that we wouldn’t otherwise think we knew without seeing them - which means the documents become the only evidence.

            The only things taken from these documents are the plan to take hostages and kill civilians in a school and kibbutz compound, with the awareness that many of those civilians would be children. There’s no extrapolation there and that exact thing happened.

              It was a holiday weekend. Odd time to attack a school fo the purpose of kidnapping children.

              The extrapolation is that they “intentionally targeted children” but the time is odd for that. In fact, it looks like they intentionally chose a time when fewer children would be in the battle.

                  Yet the title says they intentionally targeted elementary schools and a youth center. If these are part of larger compounds, aren’t they being disingenuous?
