It is literally a propaganda post, no mention of the extreme horrors from the other side, the hostages that israel has taken and constantly takes, the realities of the occupation etc. etc. Calling the Hamas resistance raid “13 times more deadly than 9/11.” would make the last 75 years of Israel’s creation and oppressive existence multiple trillion times worse than 9/11, but no mention of that. Also during the Oct 7th raid we know Israel killed many of it’s own civilians and it was a highly planned out military operation. If that’s a “terrorist” attack then what israel is doing is even worse than a genocide.
You claim responding against the emotional propaganda is wrong, but writing even close to the parallel from the Palestinian side would result in a perma-ban. This post is a load of genocide supporting nonsense which shows how disgustingly biased this community is. Talking about “AI safety” when it is known AI is used to kill and oppress innocent Palestinians.

This is not what Hamas’ plan was. It was a hostage taking raid for a hostage exchange. Also to provoke a response from the Muslim world and put Palestine back on the map, since your ilk would just want to commit a slow genocide while ignoring it. This was all extremely clear, as Scott Ritter clearly points out. Also Hamas literally spelled out their plans in documents like Jericho Wall.

I’ve been banned from multiple rationalist communities for pointing this out (from these alt accounts). Maybe not EA yet, but same type of people.
> I had to do a double-take and am now only rereading this part after writing my response. You actually believe Israel deliberately perpetuated part of the Oct 7 raid? I’m at a complete loss for words...
There was friendly fire which caused many civilian deaths, and possibly the majority of them. Please do some basic research. There are multiple lines of evidence, the overall picture is extremely clear, the destruction could only have been caused by IDF. They didn’t do it on purpose they had a panicked response and acted similarly to the Hannibal Directive. Also there is now even reports from hostages about how they were being fired at. Does truth matter at all to this community?
Incredible how the Palestinians crimes are so exaggerated, while all of the unending horrors from the Zionist side are either downplayed or ignored. There are thousands of hostages still held by Israel while they bomb innocents, steal land, strip Palestinians of their basic rights etc. etc. Even if Oct 7th was a pure “kill civilians” terrorist attack it wouldn’t come close to what the Zionists do constantly, and even though it wasn’t but it still gets portrayed that way for propaganda purposes. This community is extremely biased due to western propaganda and esp. Jewish overrepresentation, but Imagine how this looks from the Muslim side or for anyone with basic human decency willing to check both sides of the story.
