The Israeli military held a screening for journalists on Monday of raw footage recovered from Hamas body cameras, in an effort to remind the world of the brutality of the attack on Israel two weeks ago.
The bodycam footage, cut together with clips from CCTV, dashboard cameras and the mobile phones of both Hamas gunmen and victims, showed in stark detail the sheer horror visited on a music festival and family neighbourhoods in southern Israel.
The Israeli military also released documents which they said were recovered from dead Hamas members, containing detailed operational planning and instructions for attacking the neighbourhoods and taking hostages.
The 43 minutes of footage screened in Tel Aviv on Monday was distilled from hundreds of hours of footage collected since the attack, the Israeli military said. It contained clips of Hamas gunmen cheering with apparent joy as they shot civilians on the road, and later stalking the pathways of kibbutzim and killing parents and children in their homes.
They themselves imply the number is likely to be biased (the defacto authority is hardly going to be impartial), but I agree, it isn't your job to second guess the numbers being used by the UN.
Why do you go through such old shit that has been disproven wrong a million times? What is it that makes you pedal agenda garbage on this website? I'm seriously asking... The number of victims reported by the Gazan government (yes Hamas) are vetted by the UN. The UN vs you, random person online somehow going around in circles to defend Israel, all under the guise of "thoughtful discussion" ? Lol. Please.
Go pick something new, something the world isn't convinced of already. We all know the numbers are lower than they even should be. We all know Israel has a genocide agenda. Get over it and join the other side that actually gives two fucks about human rights.
Because the numbers have been vetted and counted by the UN before the war many times. Because Gaza ha(d) a good enough medical standard and was trusted by medical organizations all over the world. The only people not believing the Gazan ministry is YOU, Israel, and the US. Whst a coincidence that no one else had any reason to doubt this number... Only genocide deniers do.
I don’t deny that the attack occurred. But I don’t have the right to judge how an ethnic group decides to resist their oppressors. Was it warranted? Ask a Palestinian.
I do not deny that I planned sabotage. I did not plan it in a spirit of recklessness nor because I have any love of violence. I planned it as a result of a calm and sober assessment of the political situation that had arisen after many years of tyranny, exploitation and oppression of my people by the whites.
