Check your facts.
While I agree with the gist of Peter O’Keefe’s article, I urge him to get his facts straight regarding this preposterous statement; ‘The atrocities committed on 7 October 2023 by the military wing of Hamas, exceed in scale, intensity and barbarity anything previously done in Israel or Palestine.’
For a start, has O’Keefe heard of Deir Yassin – one of over 400 Palestinian villages and towns ethically cleansed, where rape and massacres abounded – in 1948? Has he heard of Shatila, or, do the deaths via repeated bombing campaigns against Gaza with its countless usage of internationally banned weapons, and, more to the point, why does he simply repeat the constant barrage of lies and propaganda by Israel about what happened that day, when Jewish sources like The Grayzone, Katie Halper and Asa Winstanley via the Electronic intifada and Haaretz have proven time and time again the sheer mendacity of Israel’s claims.
Even the New York Times is now raising questions.
