This is undoubtedly one of the most extraordinary interviews of a former senior US government official on Gaza.

This is Chas Freeman, former Assistant Secretary of Defense and former US Ambassador to Saudi Arabia.

Key points in the video:

- He agrees that many of the victims of Oct 7th were killed by the Israeli army in the form of "undisciplined fire by helicopters with hellfire missiles or by tanks with incendiary rounds directed at buildings". In the case of the victims of the music festival he even says they "were largely killed, it appears, by hellfire missiles and by other undisciplined fire by Israeli forces". To him this "disgrace in military terms" stems from a "lack of discipline and training necessary to respond" but also from the IDF's "Hannibal directive", which "says that rather than get into bargaining over hostage exchange you should just kill the Israeli hostages along with their captors."

- He says that with Oct 7th "Hamas had 2 objectives": 1) "Put the Palestinian self-determination issue back on the global agenda", something he says they've "succeeded" in doing since they're is "widespread recognition outside Israel that only self-determination for Palestine in the form of a 2-state solution can provide security to Israel". He says that even in "the US, which has a larger Jewish population than Israel, many Jews have come to realize that this is the case. Younger Jews in particular in the U.S. are very disillusioned with Zionism and don't want to suffer contagion from it in the form of antisemitism, which is actually growing now as a result of Israeli actions".
2) "Give Hamas enormous popularity among Palestinians because they are seen as having stood up, as having been willing to accept death rather than captivity". He refers to Norman Finkelstein's "analogy of slave revolts in the U.S." and particularly the "1831 revolt by Nat Turner, a well-educated very intelligent enslaved African who led a slave revolt in Southern Virginia which had as its objective the murder of every white person they encountered." He says it "raises a moral question: 'Is the violence of the slave-owner morally the same as the violence of the slave trying to end that violence?'. The same moral question arises with Israeli oppression of Palestinians versus Palestinian resistance to oppression."

- All in all he concludes that much like the violence against African-Americans that followed slave revolts in the 19th century, the Israeli vengeance against Palestinians "won't be remembered fondly by anyone in the future". In fact he goes as far as saying that "when people think of Israel in the past they thought of it as a refuge for the victims of the Holocaust... now they will think of it as the home of perpetrators of genocide. When they think of Israel, they will think of burned buildings and dead babies. This is an image problem of a fundamental nature and from the point of view of Israel it strips Israel of its protection by charges of antisemitism against anyone who is critical of Israel because to be critical of people who are carrying out genocide cannot be antisemitism, it cannot be considered immoral. Antisemitism is a despicable attitude but to oppose genocide by Israel is not."

Just know we are working to identify all the men lined up in front of what appears like a mass grave. We will know who they are and what you have done to them. It will be made public. This looks like a mass execution picture. It better not be.

What a disgusting answer to those 5 babies left to rot (literally) in Al-Nasr hospital, fact which he doesn't dispute but justifies by saying that "Hamas should stop hiding its fighters in hospitals". And he says this with a smirk on his face 🤢

In this particular case that hospital was forcibly evacuated by the IDF and those newborn babies, who depended on incubators, couldn't be moved. You can find several videos of that hospital's doctors pleading publicly with the IDF and international organizations to take care of the babies at the time they were forced to evacuate. You can even find the testimony of a doctor saying the IDF had assured him the babies would be taken care of. But when a journalist made his way back to the hospital a couple of weeks afterwards during the truce, he found the babies' bodies decomposing, still attached to their ventilators.

Even if one buys into the "Hamas fighters in hospitals" narrative, this cannot be a justification to let newborn babies die. The hospital was entirely emptied except for those babies, which everyone was made aware of (again, search for the statements by the doctors when they were forced to evacuate). What's the argument here: that because that hospital may at some point been harboring some Hamas fighters those babies were therefore somehow tainted and deserved to die? One can see how ridiculous an argument this is.

And also it's now crystal clear this whole "Hamas hiding in hospitals" narrative was just an excuse: the entire North of Gaza was evacuated, the whole place. So it's painfully obvious that hospitals were evacuated as part of this. Which makes the statement by the State Department's spokesperson even more contemptible: these babies didn't die because this particular hospital was a Hamas harbor but just because it happened to be located in North Gaza.

The world can easily prove that there are thousands of Palestinians killed since October 8th, 2023 over 20000. Can IDF give us a proof of how many of Hamas members are killed by now. The perfect guess is very very few! This is pathetic and inhumane!

Journalist Gideon Levy is one of the few honest and moral people in the Death Cult that is Israel.

"Giora Eiland is one of the “thinking officers” in the Israeli Defence Forces. He has an idea – epidemics in Gaza are good for Israel. "

Three young Palestinian men, Hisham Awartani, Tahseen Ali and Kenan Abdulhamid, students at Brown and other US universities, were shot last night on their way to a family dinner in Burlington, USA. Their crime? Wearing the Palestinian keffiyeh. They are critically injured. And Six weeks ago, 6-year old Palestinian child was stabbed 26 times in a hate crime in Illinois. The hate crimes against Palestinians must stop. Palestinians everywhere need protection.
