Text
It is important in any debate, but especially this one, to be accurate. No Israeli babies were beheaded or put in ovens on 7 October or thereafter. That was a myth that was propagated by an Israeli colonel, or an army general, called Golan Vach. What did happen, though, was that Hind Rajab, a five-year-old Palestinian girl, was assassinated by the IDF. Her family car had 335 bullet holes put in it, but I note that there was no mention of that by the parties to my right. We are now 20 months and at least 55,000 deaths —.
