Look, I'm as against the genocide as anyone could be, but has anyone actually vetted this claim? This seems like Bugs Bunny-level chicanery
Who would find proof? The Americans and Israelis who did it? Palestinian journalists? That's what this is...Nobody else is allowed in.
"Im sure there's cruelty and suffering but do you really expect me to believe those extreme elaborate stories about Auscheitz? Has anyone found proof"
~German in 1941.
Before the Soviets freed Auschwitz there was no proof. You don't get tours of the horror while it's ongoing.
And the Nazis deliberately tried to destroy evidence for the death camps in Poland both before and during running away from the Red Army so destruction of evidence is routinely a part of genocides.
And you should not. This claim, as stated, is unlikely to be true, but not for lack of will, it just seems hard to pull it off as claimed.
Now, we know for sure is that Israel wants to completely obliterate the social and psychological being of all Palestinians and would go to any extend to just do that. This also avoid having massive piles of deaths on videos (that will look just too much as those in 1940s), yet are equally effective to achieve the genocide they want at the end. Many of these claims may not even be made by a Palestinians, but by an IDF's psyop unit to discredit argumentation (as the rationale in not allowing any foreign press, so all claims can be said was "by Hamas").
What it is indisputable today is that there is a pure and exclusive intent for genocide in Gaza. For Gazans life has been meticulously calculated to be so devastated that stories like this have little effect now on their life, it seems created more for foreign consumption. Gazan's have experienced far worse cases of continuous and cruelly designed evil... it is like for us try to identify if Benigni's La vita è bella was based in a real life story or not... you think the people who went through those camps would had even care to debate it?!
I would love a competent social psychologist to enter here, but it is hard to grasp how Gazans, children and adults, if ever given a chance, can possible ever mentally recover from the damage cause by this continuous and ever increasing evil.
