With #Israel blocking foreign journalists from having any access to #Gaza, and murdering more #Palestinian journalists in just 80 days than ever before recorded in a single nation across any 12 month period, and with reports of Israeli bulldozers flattening sites that potentially retain evidence of yet more #WarCrimes (bulldozing confirmed by satellite imagery), and with claim after claim from Israel officials concerning specific incidents being revealed by subsequent investigations as being yet more baseless propaganda, the only epistemic assumption that is morally justifiable at this point is to act on the assumption that every testimony of atrocity coming out of Gaza is true.

And to assume that there are more going unreported, whose witnesses are all killed or silenced.

No other position is morally defensible under such conditions.

There is overwhelming evidence that the side with overwhelmingly more power is committing ongoing atrocities against civilians on a massive scale, while attempting to hide the true extent of their crimes.

"We didn't know. We couldn't tell. The fog of war. Both sides tell lies. Wait for independent investigations." These deflections and deferrals can no longer be used with intellectual or moral credibility by citizens in the western nations backing #Israel.
