Don't let the warmongers win and get us into yet more wars waged on the Muslim nations. If you don't push back against the war that Israel and US are planning on Iran, Lebanon and Syria after they genocide the Palestinians, than you will be responsible for the millions of Muslim refugees flooding the Western world. Do you want more millions of Muslims coming here? It will happen, no amount of immigration restrictions will be able to control the flow, even if you think it's possible to do so. In your heart of hearts you know the influx of refugees after wars cannot be stopped, it might be stopped for a year or so but not in the long run. Sooo, it's up to We the People to stop the planned carnage in the Middle East. Resist the propaganda and utter total lies coming from Israel and USA.
Below a few paragraphs from the The Grayzone's article:

.....Apache attack helicopters also figured heavily in the Israeli
military’s response on October 7. Pilots have told Israeli media they
scrambled to the battlefield without any intelligence, unable to
differentiate between Hamas fighters and Israeli noncombatants, and yet
determined to “empty the belly” of their war machines. “I find myself in
a dilemma as to what to shoot at, because there are so many of them,”
one Apache pilot commented.
Video filmed by uniformed Hamas gunmen
makes it clear they intentionally shot many Israelis with Kalashnikov
rifles on October 7. However, the Israeli government has not been
content to rely on verified video evidence. Instead, it continues to
push discredited claims of “beheaded babies” while distributing
photographs of “bodies burned beyond recognition” to insist that militants sadistically immolated their captives, and even raped some before torching them alive............
............The lighting assault immediately overwhelmed Israel’s Gaza Division.
Video recorded from GoPro cameras mounted on the helmets of Palestinian
fighters shows Israeli soldiers cut down in rapid succession, many still
dressed in underwear and caught off guard. At least 340 active soldiers
and intelligence officers were killed on October 7, accounting for
close to 50% of confirmed Israeli deaths. The casualties included high ranking officers like Col. Jonathan Steinberg, the commander of Israel’s Nahal Brigade. (Many first responders and armed Israeli civilians were also killed).
The Erez Crossing is the home of a massive military and Coordination
of Government Activities in the [Occupied] Territories (COGAT) facility
which functions as the nerve center of Israel’s siege on Gaza. When it
was overrun by Palestinian fighters on October 7 with droves of army bureaucrats inside, the Israeli military flew into a panic....
....As the wave of infiltrations from Gaza drove chaos on the ground,
discombobulated Israeli pilots unleashed a frenzy of missile and machine
gun salvos: “The Apache pilots testify that they fired a huge amount of
munitions, emptied the ‘belly of the helicopter’ in minutes, flew to
re-arm and returned to the air, again and again. But it didn’t help and
they understand it,” Mako reported.
The Apache helicopters appear to have focused on vehicles streaming
back into Gaza from the Nova electronic music festival and nearby
kibbutzes, attacked cars with apparent knowledge that Israeli captives
could be inside. They also fired on unarmed people exiting cars or
walking on foot through the fields on the periphery of Gaza.....
.....“I understand that we have to shoot here and quickly,” the commander of the Apache unit, Lt. Col. E., told Mako in a separate report. “Shooting at people in our territory – this is something I never thought I would do.”
Lt. Col. A., a reserve pilot in the same unit, described a fog of
confusion: “I find myself in a dilemma as to what to shoot at, because
there are so many of them.”
A report on the Apache squadrons by the Israeli outlet Yedioth Aharanoth
noted that “the pilots realized that there was tremendous difficulty in
distinguishing within the occupied outposts and settlements who was a
terrorist and who was a soldier or civilian… The rate of fire against
the thousands of terrorists was tremendous at first, and only at a
certain point did the pilots begin to slow down the attacks and
carefully select the targets.”.......
...........Photos of the aftermath of the fighting inside kibbutzes like Be’eri –
and of the Israeli bombardment of these communities – show rubble and
charred homes that resemble the aftermath of Israeli tank and artillery
attacks inside Gaza. As Tuval Escapa, the security coordinator at
Kibbutz Be’eri, told Haaretz, Israeli army commanders had ordered the
“shelling [of] houses on their occupants in order to eliminate the
terrorists along with the hostages.”
Yasmin Porat, an attendee of the Nova music festival who fled into Kibbutz Be’eri, told Israeli Radio
that when Israeli special forces arrived during a hostage standoff,
“They eliminated everyone, including the hostages because there was
very, very heavy crossfire.”...........
.........A video posted by the Telegram account of Israel’s South Responders
shows the bodies of Israelis discovered below the rubble of a home
destroyed by a powerful explosive blast – likely a tank shell. The
right-wing New York Post ran a report on a similar incident about a boy’s body found scorched beneath the ruins of his home in Be’eri.
The phenomenon of charred corpses whose hands and ankles had been
tied, and who were found in groups beneath the rubble of destroyed
homes, also raises questions about “friendly” tank fire.
Yasmin Porat, the hostage who survived a standoff at Be’eri,
described how Hamas militants tied her partner’s hands behind his back.
After one militant commander surrendered, using her as a human shield to
ensure his safety, she saw her partner lying on the ground, still
alive. She stated that Israeli security forces “undoubtedly” killed him
and the other hostages as they opened fire on the remaining militants
inside, including with tank shells.
Israeli security forces also opened fire on fleeing Israelis whom
they mistook for Hamas gunmen. A resident of Ashkelon named Danielle
Rachiel described nearly being killed after escaping from the Nova music
festival when it was attacked by militants from Gaza. “As we reached
the roundabout [at a kibbutz], we saw Israeli security forces!” Rachiel
recalled. “We held our heads down [because] we automatically knew they’d
be suspicious of us, in a small beat-up car… from the same direction
the terrorists were coming from. Our forces began shooting at us!”
“When our forces fired at us, our windows shattered,” she continued.
It was only when they shouted in Hebrew, “We’re Israelis!” that the
shooting stopped, and they were taken to safety...........
....Just over twelve hours after Ambassador Erdan promoted the supposed Hamas atrocity photos at the UN, the Google Drive file
contained only one brief video. Among the mysteriously disappeared
photos was the image of the dumpster filled with burned bodies. Had it
been deleted because it showed Hamas fighters torched by a Hellfire missile, and not Israelis “burned to death” by Hamas?.......
........In perhaps the most unsettling document presented by the Israeli
government, reporters were treated to video showing “a partially burned
woman’s corpse, with a mutilated head… The dead woman’s dress is pulled
up to her waist and her underpants have been removed,” according to the
Times of Israel......
....In fact, the young woman appeared to have been killed instantly by a
powerful blast. And she seemed to have been removed from the car in
which she was seated – and which may have belonged to a captor from
Gaza. The vehicle was comprehensively destroyed and situated on a dirt
field, as many others attacked by Apache helicopters were. She was
scantily clad with her legs spread apart.
Though she had attended the Nova electronic music festival, where
many female attendees dressed in skimpy attire, and her parted limbs
were typical of bodies with rigor mortis, Israeli pundits and officials
ran with the claim she had been raped.
But the allegations of sexual assault have so far proven baseless.
Israeli army spokesman Mickey Edelstein insisted to reporters at the
October 23 press briefing that “we have evidence” of rape, but when
asked for proof, he told the Times of Israel, “we cannot share it.”........
