Israel didn’t release the footage of Jewish Settlers and IDF behaving atrociously like brutes in the West Bank because humans behave badly and in stomach-churning ways no matter which side they are on. But rest assured brutish Israeli behavior has been captured and found on video too. Hamas or simply Palestinians aren’t able to call a press conference to hammer home their truth.

It has little or nothing to do with justice. Hamas like Viet Cong have no planes and are less able to kill as clinically as the Israelis do. They kill from a distance “surgically” and cleanly like “professionals” not challenged by death the most likely outcome for Hamas fighters. But the photographic images of the results on the ground would in reality be as, if not more, horrific. Israel with its technology easily hides the voices and sights of its revenge. The indiscriminate killing of thousands of innocents after bomb and drone raids leaves far more unrecognizable body parts.

Justice seems all but missing in this exercise. We were shocked at the footage of Mai Lai, Abu Ghraib, the waterboarding, and the extreme torture that we know the Americans were capable of because journalists like Julian Assange, became must-get targets, for releasing the footage of innocents being killed in the Middle East. Some 30 reporters have been killed by Israel alongside 50 UN staff, Doctors Hospitals and schools destroyed because in reality “precision enemy targets” really means “anything goes”

Horror is horror and justice is never achieved by more horror. Justice can’t begin to be achieved for everyone without taking a step back. But that doesn’t mean the what’s being done isn’t planned which makes it worse.

“The quality of mercy is not strain’d, It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath: it is twice blest; It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.”

There is no intended Justice in simply taking a pound of flesh but there is intent and another plan and it’s more than just “mowing the grass” as an Israeli MP described it.

The Israeli military showed unreleased bodycam video from the Oct. 7 attacks, as the death toll in Gaza rises and some activists deny Hamas’ atrocities.
