THE MYTHS of October 7 and THE MYTHS of Israel (updated re Israel being an ethno-State)
They seem quite obvious, but need a closer look...
Myths of October 7
1. HAMAS murdered 1,200 Israelis?
There were 695 civilians, of which Israel killed at least half by implementing their resurrected Hannibal directive. Therefore, HAMAS murdered 350 civilians at the most, if not many less.
2. HAMAS murdered, beheaded and burnt 40 and 8 other babies?
HAMAS did not kill any babies.
3. Hamas raped and gang raped numerous women, girls and men?
Hamas did not rape any women or girls, or men.
4. HAMAS decapitated at least 8 women and men?
No, they did not.
5. HAMAS dismembered bodies, and incinerated most of them, both before and after death?
No. They did not. Israel blew up and set fire to the vast majority of Kibbutz houses and bungalows, under their resurrected Hannibal Directive.
6. The I.D.F. and I.A.F. took swift action, but were overrun by Hamas?
The I.A.F. and I.D.F. took 6 hours to arrive on the scene, causing heavy military, police, security guards and civilian losses.
7. The Israeli Government and I.D.F. were unaware that HAMAS was preparing a large-scale attack?
No. They knew well in advance.
8. The Israeli Spotters near the Gaza Strip border did not warn the Israeli Government, I.D.F and I.A.F., that HAMAS was about to breach the border fences?
No. They continually fully documented and reported the disabling of CCTV and security sensor breaches. As they were unarmed, and UNPROTECTED, many of them were easily defeated by Hamas.
Myths of Israel
1. There is no genocide in Gaza, but October 7 was both a genocide and a Holocaust?
A. There is an undisputable genocide and second holocaust in Gaza, and also the west bank and Lebanon. B. October 7 was disputably a genocide, because the action was not continual, it was just a few days. C. October 7 was definitely not the Second Holocaust in israel. That is in Gaza.
2. Israel is the only democracy in the middle East?
They are not. Gaza also has a democracy and elected government, even if Israel refuse to acknowledge or accept it.
Indeed, Israel is actually an ethno-state, not a true democracy.
An **ethno-state** is a state or political entity that is explicitly organized around the interests and identity of a specific ethnic group. In such a state, political power, cultural norms, and legal systems are often designed to prioritize and preserve the dominance of one ethnic group over others. This can manifest in policies that favor the majority ethnic group in areas such as citizenship, land ownership, language, education, and political representation, often at the expense of minority groups.
Key characteristics of an ethno-state may include:
A. **Ethnic exclusivity**:
The state may define itself in terms of a single ethnic identity, often enshrined in its constitution or foundational laws.
B. **Discriminatory policies**:
Laws and practices may systematically privilege the dominant ethnic group while marginalizing or excluding others.
C. **Cultural dominance**:
The state may promote the culture, language, and history of the dominant group as central to national identity.
D. **Restricted citizenship**:
Access to citizenship or full rights may be limited based on ethnicity or ancestry.
E. **Territorial claims**:
The state may justify its existence or expansion based on historical or ethnic ties to a specific land.
### Examples and Controversies:
- **Historical examples**:
Apartheid South Africa and Nazi Germany are often cited as extreme examples of ethno-states, where racial or ethnic hierarchies were institutionalized.
- **Modern example**:
States, such as Israel, exhibit and demonstrate blatantly strong ethno-national characteristics, due to laws and policies that prioritize Jewish identity and rights, particularly self-professed Zionist Jews. Supporters of Israel argue that they are democratic and inclusive, with protections for minority rights. Whilst this is generally true within the current borders of the State of Israel, it is most certainly not true of the Occupied Territories, namely the West Bank and Gaza.
The concept of an ethno-state is controversial because it often conflicts with principles of equality, pluralism, and universal human rights. Ethno-states always lead to some degree of systemic discrimination, exclusion, and nearly always conflict, yet proponents claim they are necessary for preserving cultural identity and security in diverse or contested regions. The fundamental issue here is both racism and religious supremacy. Neither should have any place in our modern world!
3. Israel is not a colonial state?
Yes, by definition, it is.
4. Israel is not an apartheid state?
Yes, by definition, it is.
5. That "From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free" is a call to the complete genocide of Jews?
A. It is not a call to genocide whatsoever.
B. Israel is not comprised of just Jews. In terms of religious beliefs, JUDAISM and Zionism accounts for about half of Israel's citizens.
C. 90-95% of these alleged Israeli Jews are, in fact, Zionists, not true followers of Judaism, and are often even Atheists. In other words, only about 2-5% of Israeli citizens are either Orthodox Jews or non-Zionist Jews!
6. HAMAS and Palestinians all call, or nearly all call, for the complete destruction of Israel, or the murder of all Jews?
False. They do not. Only a handful do.
Even HAMAS changed their Charter 8 years ago in 2017 to exclude this objective.
This is excellent but one statement is incorrect - Gaza also has a democracy and elected government.
A country under colonial occupation cannot be a democracy because it is ruled by the colonial regime. Israel processes ID cards for every single Palestinian including those in Gaza as stated by Amira Hass in Haaretz in February 2024. That alone says Israel is the governing power for all of Palestine including Gaza.
The 2006 Legislative election held in all of Palestine did see Hamas win most seats but the colonial ruler, Israel, overturned the election and rendered it null and void so Hamas was elected to nothing.
Gaza is a prison, a concentration camp set up in part of Occupied Palestine by the Israeli military colonial occupation rulers and it is not a democracy. In a democracy there are regular elections and every Palestinian, not just those in Gaza would have to vote. That does not happen and has not happened for 19 years because the colonial power, Israel, will not allow it.
The accurate response for Israel's claim to be the only democracy in the Middle East is that no democracy can be an apartheid State as Israel is.
And in a democracy everyone living in the State has exactly the same rights and that does not apply to Israel because non-Jews have inferior rights to Jews and always have had and since 2018 non-Jews are denied nationality because there is no Israeli nationality just religious, Jewish nationality.
Clear and clean! Thank you for the indisputable description of a devilishly premeditated crime scene, which is intended to be the epilogue of a drama that began… a century ago…
