1. There was never peace nor was there a ceasefire. Most of Gaza's population was born into a concentration camp, living under a documented system of apartheid.
2. Israel has been killing civilians in the West Bank and Gaza almost as a matter of routine (pre-October 7).
3. Israel has been building illegal settlements in Gaza since 1967.
4. Israel was aware of the October 7 attack for a year before it happened but chose not to stop it.
5. 2/3 of the 45,000+ bombs Israel has dropped on Gaza since Oct 7 were dumb bombs - these are bombs that lack precision and can land anywhere (you don't drop tens of thousands of them if you do not intend on killing civilians).
6. Where is your evidence that "much of Gaza's civilian population whooped it up on 10/7"?
7. Most of Gaza's population alive on October 7 were not even born when Hamas was voted into power.
8. If reality is as you so claim, why did the Israeli government reject a Hamas proposal to release all the hostages on October 9 or 10?
9. Why did Israel bomb the very place its hostages were to pieces (and thereby risk killing all of them) if it wanted to rescue them?
10. Why did the Israelis coin the phrase "from the river to the sea?"
11. Why did Israel shut off food, water, electricity, fuel, and medication for a civilian population?
12. Why did Netanyahu fund Hamas for years?
13. Why did Netanyahu compare Palestinians to the Amalek?
14. Why did Israel bury Palestinians in mass graves?
15. Why did Israel repeatedly bomb refugee camps?
16. Why did Israel bomb a fertility clinic and destroy 4,000 embryos?
17. Why did Israel send Gazans from the North to the South and then started to bomb the South?
18. Why did Israel bomb universities?
19. Why has Netanyahu awarded contracts to companies to extract gas from Palestinian waters?
20. You are condoning genocide and ethnic cleansing. Perhaps because you get your talking points from Tel Aviv and not the mountain of evidence from independent sources and human rights organisations that lay bare Israel's decades of land-grabbing, killing, imprisoning without charge, apartheid, and bombing.
