Hamas published yesterday an 18-minute long pre-recorded press conference in English about their side of the story.

This has received zero media attention anywhere in the western press.

So in the interest of full transparency, here is the entire press conference.

Yes yes, you're very clever for having basic rhetorical awareness. Doesn't count for much when that's literally true, as it is in Israel's case. The vast majority of Israeli civilians are likely not potential combatants, and I'm sure most of them weren't even combat specialists during their compulsory service. But the point stands, Israel does maintain a policy of compulsory enlistment, which necessarily shapes their peoples' relationship to their government and their complicity in its crimes. You can't just write that off and refuse to reckon with it.
