reSee.it AI Summary

The revised death toll from the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on Israeli civilians is estimated to be 300-600. While each death is tragic and condemnable, it cannot justify the disproportionate response of targeting Gaza, including schools and hospitals. Israel's actions align with a genocidal intent expressed by some officials, aiming to expel Palestinians from their homeland. This issue goes beyond Hamas's actions and demands attention to the ongoing expulsion of the Palestinian people.

QUESTION: How many Israeli civilians did Hamas kill on Oct. 7? 1. The official death toll was revised down from 1400 to 1200. 2. Media sources have listed several hundred of the casualties as Israeli military. 3. Reports indicate that some of the dead were killed by IDF fire. CONCLUSION: A rough estimate is that Hamas killed 300-600 Israeli civilians. Each of those deaths is a horrific tragedy. Each should be vigorously condemned. Civilians must never be targeted. But there is no moral universe in which leveling #Gaza, targeting schools and hospitals, and murdering thousands upon thousands of Palestinian children is an appropriate response. The hideous truth is that Israel and the US are using the 10/7 attack as an excuse to carry out the genocidal intent expressed by a number of Israeli officials. They want to obliterate Palestinians. Period. In the end, this is not about Hamas releasing hostages or surrendering. It's about the continuation of Israel's decades-long expulsion of the #Palestinian people from their homeland.
