The happenings in Gaza have never made sense to me, especially the ongoing persecution and killing of the Palistinians that has been going on for many years. On 911, I heard Israel mentioned in some of the news reports, so I looked at web site that reported how israel was acquiring land from the native population. There was no concern about 911 at all, but there were reports of bulldozers removing olive trees and destroying buildings. The whole thing about Gaza has been going on and has escelated to the mass genecide that we see in the daily news, and is supported by our own government. Our own government, that now has a Military Air Force base, 20 miles from Gaza.

What really happened in Israel on Oct. 7? w/Max Blumenthal | The Chris Hedges Report The Real News Network The Chris Hedges Report For all the sensationalism surrounding the events of Oct. 7, when Hamas broke through the Gaza fence and seized territory in the Gaza Envelope as part of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, there is still much that we do not know. The official Israeli death toll from the attack is estimated at 1,200 civilians, revised from an initial estimate of 1,400. Among this figure are several hundred civilians, which Israel says were killed by Hamas militants. Other testimony from survivors of Oct. 7 suggests an alternative explanation—that in its fervor to defeat Hamas, Israeli commanders may have willingly targeted and sacrificed Israeli soldiers and civilians in the crossfire.
