I agree with you, and its so easy to fall into that verbal trap, but should we not go further and say that Israel’s war with Hamas or Gaza denies that Israel’s war is on Palestine?
"In a fair world, Palestine would have been the litigant, not South Africa. And Hamas may have been a lawyer instead of a freedom fighter or terrorist. Consequently, it’s important to hear their side of what happened on 7 October 2023. And we can, because they issued an explanation on 20 January 2024 that is mostly being reported in parts, rather than the whole."
Yes. And I do note that this is about an Israel war on greater Palestine in the essay. I'm just putting the central frame right now around Gaza because this is a particular teachable moment, with particular realities very closely matching the Warsaw Ghetto in 1943. And I also do cover independent reports on "October 7" which show that Gaza's attack on Israel was not remotely as "barbaric" as the West made it out to be.
