IS ANYONE TELLING THE TRUTH?

Nope- nobody is telling the truth, all of these folks have an agenda ( one side or the other) and lie in some way–exaggeration, obfuscation, statistical manipulation, fake images, crisis actors, false narratives or blatant lying through their teeth.

Like the famous quote about repeat/repeat/repeat the lie often enough and it becomes accepted as fact- the masses generally pick a side and then believe any lie that supports their belief. Confirmation bias on steroids.

I fully believe Israel knew about the “planned attack”- I won’t go so far as asserting it was a false flag because I haven’t seen proof ( although motive and opportunity are both established).

However I have also visited both Gaza and the West Bank ( the church of the nativity/Bethlehem are both in Palestinian land). Gaza has some beautiful Mediterranean resorts, a gold district, large open air markets where I strolled unaffected and unaccosted. Most of Gaza and the West Bank areas we drove through and visited were very similar to the decaying inner cities of America–but with far less violence, drugs and murders. Israel neighborhoods are like the suburbs with well maintained bldgs, painted, repaired and clean–Gaza has muslim graffiti on any bldg surface, they throw their garbage on the ground, litter is the norm–looks like Baltimore, Detroit, any NJ town over 100,000 people, St Louis, New Orleans etc.

The military patrols are evident– just as we see security guards and police strolling/driving around with guns, they use the conscripted and they are uniformed and have machine guns. The old city of Jerusalem have groups of 3-4 machine gun holding men every few blocks and it actually feels safer than walking through Chicago, much less death there too.

Take this for what it’s worth– Gaza conditions aren’t as bad as told but it is impoverished and they produce nothing– total dependents on UN/international/Israeli handouts. Israel is illegally building all over the West Bank- not unlike how Chinese keep acquiring a chunk here and a chunk there of US farmlands and businesses. Tens of thousands of Palestinians work in Israel, crossing checkpoints daily– the process of traveling between is less invasive than a TSA screening, simply provide the ID/document.

Enough from me, the point is that it sucks for the Palestinians but the exaggeration of a giant prison camp is a form of lie– they have food, they have free medical care and housing, much like our hoods in the USA.
