In Ghaza, there are two main versions of what is happening: West and non-West.
In the Western media, Hamas are all antiSemitic terrorists who are determined to kill every last Israeli, so anyone who is not a fanatical antiSemite knows Israel must exterminate Hamas, and if that means killing every last Philistine in the Ghaza, Israel have no choice but to do so if they do not wish to have Hamas kill every last Jew in Israel. And anyone who does not fully support Israel in everything is an antiSemite who makes Adolph look like a peacenik. Fortunately, Israel are winning. If the Arabs do not want to see Israel kill every last Philistine in the Ghaza, they must agree to take the women and children, since not one Philistine can be left alive in the Ghaza or that one Philistine might annihilate all the Jews, and anyone who suggests that Israel leave even one Philistine in the Ghaza is a rabid antiSemite.
In the Eastern media, e.g., in the writings of Ramzy Baroud and Romana Rubeo, one gets a different perspective. Not only are the Philistines acting in self defence, they are winning. Mr Baroud and Ms Rubeo suggest one follow "Abu Obeida and Abu Hamza, military spokesmen for the Al-Qassam Brigades and the Al-Quds Brigades respectively". They say Abu Obeida and Abu Hamza "provide very careful accounts of the nature of the battle and the losses of advancing Israeli military forces in their regular, much-anticipated statements."
They write, "And, while Abu Obeida’s statements are almost always followed by well-produced videos, documenting the systematic destruction of Israeli tanks, no such documentation substantiates Israeli military claims."
Naturally, I tried to look up Abu Obeida’s statements and found he was on Twitter, now X, but his account has been suspended for being antiSemitic. So I'm not sure where one can find Abu Obeida's postings, and, if I posted a link, I'm sure it would soon be deleted.
I heard one Saudi say, 'But we Arabs are also Semites, so how can we be antiSemitic?'
Of course, Israel say those Jews who do not fully support Israel are antiSemitic Jews, so Israel assume most Arabs are antiSemitic.
Still, the claim that Israel are winning easily in Ghaza, that they have killed 15,000 Hamas terrorists and very few, if any, innocent civilians, does seem to be rather convincingly disproven by Abu Obeida's postings (if one can find them).
