The IDF pulled a Beslan and shot some of its own civilians to quickly try and suppress the whole crisis (google the ‘hannibal directive’ to get an idea). Copied Kuwait with its 40 beheaded babies horror story. (Remember the ‘they threw babies out of incubators’ sob story?) Pumped the numbers to 1400 when the actual number seems to be about a 1000 (thank you Aaron Maté and Max Blumenthal and many others), had tanks shoot at houses and tried to manipulate everyone with stories of rape and a baby in the oven.

Very similar to bullshit stories about the Germany army ‘the Huns’ when they invaded my country, Belgium, in 1914. The propaganda machines of that time also turned some atrocities that took place and magnified them a thousandfold. Yes, Hamas killed people and Israel added its own fetish porn imagination to make it sound even worse than it already was.

Motive? Win global sympathy for what appears to be a ‘strong’ reaction to this attack, but in actual fact is just mass slaughter by bombing and soon also starvation plus disease from forcing two million people to live in absolute squalor in a tiny space.
