Biden and Harris call for escalation of Gaza genocide following death of six Israeli hostages. wsws.org As air strikes on hospitals continued in Gaza and the Israeli military stepped up its assault on the West Bank, Democrats and Republicans demanded retaliation for the death of six more Israeli hostages.
Who killed the Israeli hostages whose bodies were recoverd recently in Gaza? Israel, who lies round-the-clock regarding just about everything, of course blames it on Hamas (who strongly denies it).

If we're honest with ourselves, we simply don't know. When we find out the truth, it won't come from the reckless, wishful-thinking hasbara that streams out instantaneously from the spokespeople of Israeli and American politicians and the MSM. Truth should be based on inquiry, evidence and at least a modicum of patience.
