Trump: “…and Netanyahu told me that Hannibal Lecter came to him, eyes full of tears…”


I know, even this snippet is too coherent for Trump, but his current obsession with Hannibal Lecter is just asking for him to get this confused.


In regards to the actual article about Israel killing its own citizens, I present Philip J. Fry, shocked face:

The only thing I don’t understand about this article is what precipitated them to write it now, in September.

As they mentioned, this all came out months ago. Haaretz – which is basically the Israeli New York Times – reported on this. Soldiers, survivors, and investigators have all testified that the IDF instructed soldiers to let no one return to Gaza, full stop, by any means necessary, and liquidated hostages in a widespread manner.

It’s terrible. I’m glad it’s being talked about. But geez, why does it take months for something like this to suddenly get reported on?

You’re giving the NYT too much credit. Times of Israel is the Israeli NYT, at least when it comes to any coverage of the ongoing genocide.

Never forget the counterfactual “Screams Without Words” Hasbara smear job that they’re refusing to retract to this day.

It did not take months to get reported on. It only took months to get reported on by mainstream western media.

Implementation of the Hannibal directive was widely discussed in independent media such as the intercept who asked the obvious question of how all those cars were blown up with holes in the roof.
