Day 82 roundtable: New evidence Israel killed own civilians, resistance hits hard in Gaza
Watch entire broadcast here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EX4crtU6OT0 Video and witness accounts recently published by Israeli media reveal new details about how Israeli forces killed their own civilians on 7 October. On today’s livestream, we take a look at a new investigation published by The Electronic Intifada. We reveal how an Israeli general ordered tanks to fire on a house with Israeli civilians in it that day in Kibbutz Be’eri and then tried to cover the incident up with a fake story of heroism. Now relatives of those he killed are demanding the truth. That general, Barak Hiram, also appears to have originated one of the most poisonous fabrications Israel told about 7 October: The atrocity tale that Hamas fighters tied up and executed children in cold blood. That lie, told directly to President Biden by Benjamin Netanyahu, helped lay the ground for genocide. Nora Barrows-Friedman will give us an update on the situation in Gaza, where Israel’s unrelenting genocide continues to take an horrific toll. And Jon Elmer walks us through the latest videos that help us understand the fighting and resistance on the ground. I hope you’ll be there as we discuss all the latest developments.
