New evidence continues to emerge about how Israel killed many of its own people on 7 October. Asa Winstanley told us about the latest revelation that the order to apply the Hannibal Directive that day came from the very top of Israel’s military command, approving the targeting of their own people to prevent their capture.

Meanwhile, The Washington Post has published a hit piece against The Electronic Intifada, falsely accusing us of spreading conspiracy theories about the events of 7 October.
Ali Abunimah responded to the lies and distortions and explored the motivations for the article written by the Post’s Elizabeth Dwoskin.
