5. Denials and deflections.

Fri Nov 8, 2024, 12:37 PM

Nov 8

There WERE Israeli babies burned by Hamas on October 7 (https://themedialine.org/top-stories/evidence-on-display-at-israels-forensic-pathology-center-confirms-hamas-atrocities/) and there WERE scores of women raped, gang raped, sexually mutilated and tortured (https://news.un.org/en/sites/news.un.org.en/files/atoms/files/Mission_report_of_SRSG_SVC_to_Israel-oWB_29Jan_14_feb_2024.pdf)

How can a man who outright denies these indisputable facts claim any legitimacy to further comment on the subject, let alone deflect from the subject with arguments unrelated to the question asked?
