good god. the more absolutely deranged and decoupled-from-reality the hasbara framing of the gazan genocide goes on, the more i think the israeli narrative of the inciting event can not possibly stand up to any independent scrutiny. we're already well beyond "those two dead prisoners in polish uniforms with disfigured faces crossed the german border, so that's why we had to flatten like 25% of Warsaw" level of bullshit.
