No Bernie,
Hamas did not kill 1,200 “innocent” Israelis on October 7th.
Out of 1,200, hundreds were active duty occupation soldiers complicit in apartheid and the siege of Gaza.
There are many videos literally showing these IDF soldiers being captured or killed from their military bases all along the concentration camp walls surrounding Gaza.
These soldiers were legitimate targets. They are not innocent.
Several hundred more were massacred by the Israelis themselves who unloaded thousands of grenades, shells, high caliber rounds and other projectiles from Merkava tanks and Apache helicopters directly into cars and homes.
Israelis are not used to taking accountability but sorry no they don’t get to fire artillery shells into homes and then ask why so many Israelis were killed on October 7th.
There are too many reports, mainly from Israeli media, detailing how the IDF responded aggressively and sloppily to Oct 7th and carried out the Hannibal directive.
They couldn’t gain control of the situation so they decided to kill everyone.
Hamas did shoot and kill unarmed people in several video clips and in some cases we saw random Palestinians from Gaza (not Hamas) brutalize and kill people but outside of this we have not seen any footage, despite Israel claiming that Hamas “filmed their own crimes”, suggesting that they mass murdered hundreds of people on October 7th.
The loss of life is regrettable but it doesn’t change the fact that October 7th was justified both morally and according to international law.
Israel is the aggressor and the occupier, using violence to steal land and ethnically cleans the population.
Resolution after resolution has been passed condemning Israel and urging it to abide by international law.
Palestinians, including Hamas, agreed to the 1967 borders and acknowledging Israel’s existence.
Israel still refuses to honor Palestinian rights.
In response, Palestinian civil society called upon the world to boycott divest and sanction Israel. This was a peaceful nonviolent method to do what international law could not.
But many people, including Bernie Sanders, refused to make space for this movement and condemned it as antisemitism.
In the words of Yahya Sinwar, were Palestinians expected to just sit and wait and die like well behaved victims?
Bernie Sanders was complicit in the conditions that made October 7th inevitable and he is complicit in the rhetoric that supports the genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza now.
He has been 100% wrong about Palestine from the very beginning, regardless of his performative empathy which has contributed virtually nothing to the movement.
He has actually stood in the way by not endorsing the bds movement for his millions of left leaning supporters to engage in.
