    Man, I completely understand that those crimes against humanity, atrocities, call them whatever you want there are no words to describe it, are real. I also respect anyone for going in there an watching those things. I couldn’t.

    But this thing reads like a propaganda piece. The IDF has killed over 5000 civillians, (including hundreds of children) yet the author of the article claims that Israel greatly respects the lives of civillians and they’d never kill kids… This just reads like propaganda at this point. I’m honestly disappointed that the author has used those atrocities for his political game.

    Games. Games are being played and innocent people are paying the price. Everything is awful.

    David never mentioned what he thought of the over 5000 deaths in Gaza. So much for neutral reporting.

      Did you not get to the end of the article?

      The event ends. I leave and reflect on what we have seen. Those images are but one horrific event in a broader conflict that is tragic in the truest sense of the word because there are no good options. The occupation, the suffering of Gazan civilians, the endless, endless violence. Israel is responding, because it has a duty to — just like it has a duty to safeguard the life of Gazan civilians.

        That wasn’t the end. The end:

        But something else is clear, too. Something that the footage confirmed. What happened on 7 October had nothing to do with resistance. It had nothing to do with occupation or a one or two-state solution. It was about something far more ancient and atavistic — the desire to kill Jews wherever they are and whoever they are. And against that there can be no retreat.

        Kinda negates the previous paragraph.

          What did they expect? Hamas have done this to the Palestinians, Netanyahu has done this to the Palestinians, there are no good guys here for you to cheer on

          Some audio plays and a translation of the Arabic pops up on the screen as a Hamas terrorist calls his father: “Father, I killed 10 Jews! Check your WhatsApp! I sent you the photos! Father, I killed 10 Jews! I killed 10 Jews with my bare hands. check your WhatsApp. Father, be proud of me!”

          These are who you are supporting?

        I did. One sentence does not represent impartiality. It’s propaganda. The IDF even admitted it.
