Why did Israel deploy Hannibal Directive, allowing killing of own citizens?
www.aljazeera.com
A new report says Israel did enact directive, allowing for killings of captives taken by Hamas on October 7.

So last summer al-Jazeera reported that Israel used the Hannibal directive. Since then the news has not been much followed up, or am I missing something? Are investigations about this ongoing? Did ICJ mention it? Curious to know what you think about why it seems to have not caused the attention it should have.

    it seems to have not caused the attention it should have.

    I’ve been through over a year of genocide and, for example, NPR never talks about any of this. We live in an imperial bubble. We almost only hear the imperial narrative.

    Electronic Intifada has some of the best reporting on it, but western press has not touched this topic much at all. The Zionist entity has tried to suppress evidence and information about what happened, as it is likely they killed more people on 10/7 than Hamas did. The unit of propaganda is not lies, but emphasis. Maintaining the narrative about 10/7 requires focusing on the Hamas operations, and the Hannibal activities undermine that narrative.

    Here is an effort post that is a collection of links to articles and videos about Oct 7th Hannibal activities: https://hexbear.net/post/1609134

    I think because admitting to that would undermine the whole propaganda basis for their genocidal rampage. I would go so far as to say that the doctrine seems put in place to create just such a situation out of any one flare-up. The “it’s coming right for us” of ethnostate policy.
