Israel Killing Starving Palestinians Trying To Get Food

A Follow Up

Elliot Benjamin

In the previous Medium version of my essay "Israel Killing Starving Palestinians Trying To Get Food: No Rational Integrative Perspective" [1], I received a number of comments to the effect that my sources were biased and taken from Hamas-favorable networks [2]. Some of the comments also took issue with my holding two Ph.Ds while not being more well-rounded in the sources that I utilized. In my replies to these comments, I mentioned that my two Ph.Ds were in mathematics and psychology, and that I certainly did not have any expertise in politics or history, and that I would be interested in investigating other sources that had a different perspective from what I shared in my article. As it turns out, one of the commentators took me up on my request, and sent me a few articles that had a very different perspective on Israel killing starving Palestinians trying to get food [3]. Essentially these articles conveyed that Israel denied the killings, and that Hamas was responsible for killing Palestinians trying to get food [3]. And this leaves me quite perplexed about what the truth is here. Perhaps it is a mixture of both—I don't know. But I would like to invite anyone who has more information about this horrific situation to share their knowledge and sources.
