    Independent reporters say there is ample proof the attack was a false-flag. The IDF is full of psychotic assholes, It wouldn’t surprise me a bit that they’d kill their own people.

      It doesn’t even matter though. That festival was taking place on land that was stolen from Palestinians not long before. It was not their land to be festive on. The people who moved there knew exactly what they were doing and frankly had it coming.

      A lot of those reports are nonsense. There’s solid evidence that several dozen, maybe a hundred at most, people were killed by friendly fire, which tends to get exaggerated to “every single victim at the Nova festival was killed by helicopter strafing under the Hannibal Directive.” Neither side anticipated how easy the siege would be to break, and the resulting undisciplined bloodbath isn’t out of line with similar anticolonial revolts throughout history. I don’t think there’s any reason to jump to conspiracy theories to explain the results of the Israeli government getting lost in its militaristic hubris and dehumanization of Palestinians.
