Hamas has called on Israel to allow an impartial international investigation into its attack on 7 October 2023 and has rejected that it killed civilians or committed atrocities.
“The resistance did not target any hospital, school, or house of worship; it did not kill a single journalist or any member of ambulance crews. We challenge [Israel] to prove otherwise,” it said.
In the new document, Hamas said that “Western media and Zionist lobby groups” had launched a disinformation campaign about the events of the attack.
“The Israeli entity promoted a series of lies and fallacies about killing children and raping women, paving the way to proceed with an all-out genocide project that was pre-planned and aimed to erase Gaza from existence,” it said.
Violence begets violence. If someone shot at me I’d shoot back, wouldn’t you?
It doesn’t work as well at a national scale. If you shoot my sister, that doesn’t mean I should shoot your sister.
So then Israel killing 30k civilians for revenge is what exactly aside from a war crime?
It also is. It’s possible for two groups at war with each other to both commit war crimes against each other.
You’re aware the official policy of Israel is they take a man we take a family correct?
That doesn’t contradict what I said.
It does. You’re equivocating when they aren’t at all the same thing.
The only difference is scale
Yeah scale isn’t important, you’re right.
