Ja, Yoav Gallant hat in einem Interview mit Channel 12 (Februar 2025) zugegeben, die Hannibal-Direktive am 7. Oktober 2023 angeordnet zu haben. Berichte von Haaretz und UN-Untersuchungen bestätigen, dass dies zu Todesfällen israelischer Zivilisten durch eigenes Feuer führte, z.B. bei Kibbutz Be'eri und Nova-Festival. Genaue Zahlen sind umstritten.

It didn’t begin on October 7th: Israeli veterans of the 1948 creation of Israel admit in their own words that the state was created by ethnic cleansing, raping, and murdering Palestinians. As they recount raping Palestinian girls, they smile and laugh.

Today is the 3-year anniversary of the October 7th 2023 attack on Israel by Hamas and other Palestinian resistance organisations, after years of the Israeli government keeping Gaza’s economy on the brink of collapse, and maintaining Gaza as an open-air concentration camp. For three years Israel, Western governments and the media have tried to convince you that the militia of an open-air concentration camp with nothing but light arms, caused this level of destruction. Thanks to brave reporting from independent media in the West and some Israeli journalists, we know that Israel implemented the Hannibal Directive, where Israeli helicopter gunships unloaded their bullets and rockets on anything that moved to prevent Israelis being taken hostage by Hamas, who would then be used in hostage negotiations to free the thousands of Palestinian prisoners. The now debunked mass rape claims are also now enshrined in Israeli law, meaning questioning these debunked claims, or even saying that they have been debunked, could land you in prison in Israel. Israel’s Knesset approved a bill criminalising denial of Israel’s version of events of October 7th, those who break this law could face 5 years in prison. The media and the US government, the Israeli government, and the media lied about 40 babies being beheaded, and a baby being thrown into an oven. These lies would go on to manufacture consent for the Gaza genocide, where US, UK, and EU governments would arm Israel to relentlessly attack the 2 million Palestinians of Gaza, where half of the population are under 18, and 73% are refugees, including those who are descendants of those who escaped Israeli ethnic cleansing in 1948. The Gaza genocide once again exposed the brutal face of the ‘rules-based order’, where the rules are for the rest, while the NATO West and its allies are free to commit wanton colonial barbarism.
