1. This is the same Ken Roth who expressed outrage when Israel rescued its hostages so nothing he says is worth taking seriously. 2. Even if the Haaretz article were true, what’s Ken’s point? Is he trying to argue that the thousands of terrorists who infiltrated Israel on Oct 7 to murder and abduct civilians are blameless?!? Why does Ken spend so much time vilifying Israel and giving a pass to terrorists? How this man was ever a respected voice in the human rights community is a mystery.
Kenneth Roth
Israel applied the Hannibal directive on Oct 7. Israelis were deemed better dead than abducted: “The message conveyed at 11:22 A.M. across the Gaza Division network was understood by everyone. ‘Not a single vehicle can return to Gaza’ was the order.” https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-07-07/ty-article-magazine/.premium/idf-ordered-hannibal-directive-on-october-7-to-prevent-hamas-taking-soldiers-captive/00000190-89a2-d776-a3b1-fdbe45520000?utm_source=App_Share&utm_medium=iOS_Native
