When I first asked ChatGPT did Israel kill more of its own people on Oct 7 than Hamas, I got back a hard “no”. Then when I read the sources it provided and challenged it back citing these sources, it came back this:

    “It is plausible, though not confirmed, that Israel caused more deaths of its own people on October 7, 2023, than Hamas did. Reports indicate that Israeli forces destroyed approximately 70 vehicles carrying mostly civilians at one location, and the IDF admitted it did not investigate the total number of deaths it caused[1]. Friendly fire incidents and the use of the Hannibal Directive further contributed to casualties among hostages and soldiers. However, the majority of the 1,200 Israeli deaths are attributed to Hamas's actions, making it difficult to conclude definitively without detailed investigations into all incidents[1][2].”

    Remember…

    1. ⁠It is as likely as it is not that Israel killed more of its own people than Hamas on Oct 7. Some might not be surprised to hear this, but some will be.

    2. ⁠It is morally and ethically indefensible that the reason Israel continues to kills tens of thousands of innocent civilian Palestinians is because “Hamas is holding Israeli hostages” when Israel itself admits it used the Hannibal Directive on Oct 7. This means Israel found it acceptable to kill its own people to stop them from becoming hostages but then justifies killing tens of thousands of innocent civilians because their enemy is keeping their hostages alive. What kind of crazy backwards logic is that?
