Tomorrow is the anniversary of October 7, Hamas attack How that resulted in the deaths of will it be reported by our media?
Will we see a repeat of the atrocity propaganda used to justify the genocide in Gaza?
The Electronic Intifada has done excellent work throughout the genocide and debunking the rape and baby beheading allegations was certainly one of many high points of their investigative journalism
Aljazeera has just released a harrowing collation of Israeli war crimes, many of these self reported by IDF soldiers in videos posted on social media. Aljazeera themselves have lost 4 journalists targeted by the IDF in what has easily become the most lethsl war ever for journalists, UN workers, and medics.
The film opens with a quote from Palestinian novelist Susan Abulhawa: "The West cannot hide, they cannot claim ignorance. Nobody can say they didn’t know. We live in an era of technology and this has been described as the first livestream genocide in history, and I believe that to be true."
The film is called "Investigating war crimes in Gaza I Al Jazeera Investigations" and can be viewed here:

Oh okay so no actual atrocities occurred during the Palestinian Hamas attack on 7 October last year? Some people are still saying the same thing about the holocaust in World War Two.
Neither the Oct 7 attack (on IDF positions, taking of hostages from settlements and murder of those at a dance festival) nor the Israeli actions in Gaza since (more akin to Allied bombing of Germany cities in 1944-1945) have anything to do with the attempt at the ethnic cleansing of Jews from Europe.
Well David if you want to bring WW2 into it, the IDF certainly learnt a lot from the Gestapo.
The IDF is a military, Gestapo a secret/internal control police. If bringing history into it, be pertinent.
