Is that why Israel is denying access to the victims of oct7 to the icj? I have no qualms about calling out acts of barbarism but I want the events of oct7th to be reviewed by an independent and outside agency. What hamas "apparently" did was destroy the golani Brigade in a heads up fight, steal valuable Intel from a military base and successfully take hostages; the literal definition of a textbook military OP.
The amount of fanfiction surrounding Oct 7th is the only thing keeping the average citizen of realizing that Israel is simply committing an ethnic cleansing
I don't know that to be true, but if Israel is denying access to these people, it's to protect them. They survived an attack where Hamas raped, tortured, burned alive, and murdered their neighbors/friends/family. Who knows what Hamas did to these people in Gaza. These people should be protected by Israel.
To be clear, in this narrative of a cease fire, the cease fire happens if it can be utilized to Israel's advantage to retrieve hostages. Otherwise, no cease fire, until Hamas is destroyed. Hamas turned me(an American center-right Catholic who had almost no thoughts on Israel/Palestine/Hamas) into a Zionist on October 7th. Fuck them and anyone who supports them.
