Be sure, despite its obsessive revisiting of the events of October 7 in Israel, the BBC won't be reporting on this latest development:
Families of those killed in Kibbutz Be'eri that day are demanding an official investigation into the growing body of evidence that their loved ones were killed not by Hamas but by the Israeli military.
Their concerns have been heightened by the recent admission from an Israeli commander that hr ordered a tank to fire a shell into a house where 14 Israelis had been taken hostage by Hamas in Be'eri. Many of those hostages were incinerated by the shell, along with the Hamas fighters.
Nonetheless, Israel cited the charred bodies as proof of Hamas' barbarity, and justification for its subsequent genocidal campaign in Gaza – rather than as evidence of its own scorched-earth policy, one indifferent to the lives of its own civilians.
I wrote about Israel's role in the killings, and the western media's failure to report it, here: https://middleeasteye.net/opinion/israel-palestine-war-media-ignoring-evidence-actions-7-october
Haaretz's report on the families' demand can be found here: https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-01-06/ty-article/.premium/families-of-israelis-killed-in-beeri-home-hit-by-tank-fire-on-october-7-demand-probe/0000018c-de77-daf6-a5df-df7f22d60000
...no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.
