How come he saw Palestinians in Gaza that way, years before Hamas even existed? That's because Zionist genocidalism has nothing to do with Hamas and everything to do with racist colonialist indoctrination.
"On the day I arrived at the Gaza Strip I saw a crowded area, full of people, elderly, children, youth. From my perspective they were all militants, they were all terrorists. They need to be annihilated. That's what I thought."
From a testimony by Col. (Res.) Yitzhak Ini Abadi.
No, he is not some hot-headed commander seeking revenge for October 7. Ini Abadi was the third Israeli military governor of the Gaza Strip. He's talking about what his attitude was when he just arrived at the Gaza Strip, back in 1971.
Israel's attitude towards the Palestinians in general, and towards the Gaza Strip's inhabitants specifically, have always been genocidal. The reason for the genocide of Palestinians isn't the events of October 7, 2023, but more than a century of racist and dehumanizing Zionist indoctrination.
