    The Hannibal directive was used by Israel to intentionally target and kill any Israeli prisoners being taken on Oct. 7. Israel has come out and said it. The attack was horrible, but every action by Israel was about wiping Gaza off the map. They were just looking for “acceptable” ways to accomplish it. As for torturing people, many Palestinians who were not part of Hamas were held and tortured. The people who returned to Israel all seem to be saying they weren’t tortured and were mostly bored sitting around waiting. It very much seems like a situation where a group was marginalized, constantly poked and proded, and then when someone responds they use it as reason to invoke further marginalization. Over and over until a “terrorist” organization was formed. Without such treatment, Hamas would have had no reason to exist. Zionism appears to have caused the entire issue.

      Hamas murdered innocent Israelis. I’m not saying that Israel is the good guy here as clearly they have murdered and tortured. The think to keep in mind is that Hamas also killed innocent people. People lost loved ones on both sides and I think it is important to remember that murder is not ok. Israel may of killed far more people but that doesn’t mean that Hamas isn’t also guilty of murder. It is quite sad that people are taking thousands of human lives and putting them on some sort of scale. Everyone of those lost was a value human being and there will be people who are left with out a loved one. Doing comparisons of numbers overlooks the brutality of senseless killing.

        ANC murdered innocent South Africans, WW2 resistance groups murdered innocent Germans. To hell with you and your both sides bullshit that favours oppressors.
