The Guardian has removed an online review of a Channel 4 documentary about 7 October that criticised the negative portrayal of Hamas terrorists and confirmed to Jewish News on Friday that it “won’t be making any further comment at this time.”
In his review of One Day in October, which depicts the massacre at Kibbutz Be’eri using CCTV footage, Stuart Jeffries writes: “[The documentary] does a good job of demonising Gazans, first as testosterone-crazed Hamas killers, later as shameless civilian looters, asset-stripping the kibbutz while bodies lay in the street and the terrified living hid.”

Jeffries also complains that the programme does not help viewers understand “why” Hamas wanted to murder civilians.

In a statement to Jewish News, a spokesperson for the newspaper said: “The article did not meet our editorial standards and we have removed it pending review. The independent readers’ editor will be responding to a number of readers who have raised concerns.”

Max Blumenthal – What Really Happened in Israel on Oct. 7?​

November 19, 2023

Israel’s Haaretz newspaper reported yesterday that an Israeli official investigation has determined that an IDF helicopter killed Israeli civilians at the Nova rave on 7 October. Max Blumethal in the Grayzone reported weeks ago that the Israeli army caused many more deaths among its citizens as well as falsifying information about what happened on 7 October

For all the sensationalism surrounding the events of Oct. 7, when Hamas broke through the Gaza fence and seized territory in the Gaza Envelope as part of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, there is still much that we do not know. The official Israeli death toll from the attack is estimated at 1,200 civilians, revised from an initial estimate of 1,400. Among this figure are several hundred civilians, which Israel says were killed by Hamas militants. Other testimony from survivors of Oct. 7 suggests an alternative explanation—that in its fervor to defeat Hamas, Israeli commanders may have willingly targeted and sacrificed Israeli soldiers and civilians in the crossfire. Max Blumenthal of The Grayzone joins The Chris Hedges Report for an in-depth look.
