What really happened in Israel on Oct. 7? w/Max Blumenthal | The Chris Hedges Report

- For all the sensationalism surrounding the events of Oct. 7, when Hamas broke through the Gaza fence and seized territory in the Gaza Envelope as part of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, there is still much that we do not know. The official Israeli death toll from the attack is estimated at 1,200 civilians, revised from an initial estimate of 1,400. Among this figure are several hundred civilians, which Israel says were killed by Hamas militants. Other testimony from survivors of Oct. 7 suggests an alternative explanation-that in its fervor to defeat Hamas, Israeli commanders may have willingly targeted and sacrificed Israeli soldiers and civilians in the crossfire. Max Blumenthal of The Grayzone joins The Chris Hedges Report for an in-depth look.

I am 70 and I never ever thought I would witness such atrocities,it really is beyond a civilized persons understanding.
Same.
I agree. I'm 57 yrs old and I've never seen anything like this. I'm shook.
Only the israelis are capable of such savagery and barbarism. The Palestinian people have been trying to tell the world for decades but no one believed them. Many of the brainwashed Westerners came back totally shocked after a visit to Palestine, shocked not only because of the horrific treatment of the Palestinians by the israeli occupation but shocked by all the lies the Western media have been telling them for decades and also shocked by how they had been had all these years being totally on the wrong side of things.
Us did even worse in iraq, vietnam and afghanistan but that's not an excuse
how about north Korea,if it moved it was killed if not it was burned,was it about 1 third of NK were killed
“In war, truth is the first casualty.”
― Aeschylus
Yes indeed it is .
.....or.... maybe civilians are the first casualty
By Governments and Media yes. but many of us have been fighting this war for many generations -)
War is a traditional way that people honor the overt incompetence of their parents.
This is actually more true than most truly know. I would even say the second war becomes a concept that is reasonably on the cards the truth is already under attack/gone
It would be a sad sad world without CZcams, truth seekers, light workers, freedom of speech and real-life journalism.
they still try to silence you. like they did kanye west
Rumble is better..... youtube censors what they want you to see.... Tel Aviv has a hand in this.
Don’t believe everything you read.
We're here and we won't be silenced. GOD help us 🤍
It will be a sad day for all the freedom loving people of the world if the Powers that control us were to restrict us from access to the Internet that has allowed educated intelligent people exercising critical thinking skills to fact check the BS LIES & DECEPTION that has in the fostered the illegal wars, regime change and sanctions activities that have brought so much pain and suffering worldwide. YT today is obviously filtering out comments that do not conform to the establishment hegemonic goals
The Hannibal doctrine used in the Israeli army is horrible enough, but to apply that to civilians of your own country and just massacre them just to dealing with them as hostages is so appalling, so inhumane. It basically means that the lives of your own fellow countrymen loose their value once they fall into enemy hands. It considers civilians to be disposable items.
This is consistent with the sociopathy of the oligarchs who long ago hijacked Israel.
Israeli Zionist government wanted more dead …. They moved the concert to its new location 48 hours before
USA.....Khashoggi??
The Hannibal doctrine is for Netanyahu to commit more death without witnesses and blame it on Hamas. Israel funds Hamas. It’s a sick game by the Zionists
Very true.. it says 4 replies but I only see one. I’ve been seeing this alot on CZcams lately
Breaking News: South Africa is asking the ICC to bring the racist NUT-ENYAHOO regime up on war-crimes
The W.H.O. chief said that hospitals in Gaza must be allowed to function as a hospital EVEN if its suspected terrorist are inside. Cutting off fuel makes that IMPOSSIBLE. Then went further to call out the UN and asked what are they there for?
I live in South Africa , I know who the real racists are here.Glad you are so impressed with our government , try living under them!
The whole world UN voted against the war on Palestine 🇵🇸 and the genocide of its people.😳 But guess what? US VETOED IT!!!
UN has been a complete limp noodle through out this whole affair. And they likely will continue to be, sadly
Turkey and South Africa are doing good job in bringing it to the ICC.
It makes it easier for Israel, as they themselves will be brought to justice by that same ICC.
The very authority they are currently trying to exploit for their own purposes.
That same trial process they started against Israel, will be used against themselves.
Craig Murray says IJC approach activating the Genocide Convention through the International Court of Justice which would force hearing by ICC would be more effective.
Hello everyone yes this is my first meeting with The Real News I find quite close to reality and correct explaining thank you very much
The Truth needs to be told.
An Israeli woman who survived the Hamas assault on settlements near the Gaza boundary on 7 October says Israeli civilians were “undoubtedly” killed by their own security forces.
It happened when Israeli forces engaged in fierce gun battles with Palestinian fighters in Kibbutz Be’eri and fired indiscriminately at both the fighters and their Israeli prisoners.
“They eliminated everyone, including the hostages,” she told Israeli radio. “There was very, very heavy crossfire” and even tank shelling.
The woman, 44-year-old mother of three Yasmin Porat, said that prior to that, she and other civilians had been held by the Palestinians for several hours and treated “humanely.” She had fled the nearby “Nova” rave.
Thanks. I saw that video. There was another jewish woman who testified as well. Same facts
Saw that she even gave them food
Yasmin Porat is her name
Is it true that the Israeli government had instructed the Nova festival to move to a venue closer to Gaza? I have read that they did this in some reports. Do you know if it is true?
@@Simon.the.Likeableyes I think it is true,one israeli solder said that it all was set up.
My name is Ali Onaissi and I was born in Brazil. All my solidarity with the suffering Palestinian people. And I also thank the Jews who fight for justice and true peace.
there is videos where it shows that military from israel has shot directly the buildings of the populations and directly in the civilians with the gun and the people being near the militaryan shot them , probably those 2 countries dontlike each other but there is something suspicious
A lot of people are fighting for peace and justice.. it's only the jews you thank❓
The suffering of the Palestinian people is their own doing. They could have had peace decades ago but they refused time and time again. Because they're stated goal is the extermination of the Jewish people not peace there can be no peace with a group that seeks your extermination.

There is $500 billion in Natural Gas and oil off the coast of Gaza. British Petroleum just inked a $1.5 billion investment deal to produce gas offshore of Gaza. Israel is pocketing the Royalties, not Palestinian Semitic people in Gaza.

Any oppression had a component of dehumanization. Nothing pisses an oppressor off more than "subhumans" being insubordinate, or worse, rebellious.

2nd that
"Two months before Oct. 7, the Pentagon began building a $35.8 million troop facility in Israel’s Negev desert, 20 miles from Gaza, allegedly as a radar site to monitor for missile attacks on Israel. The base is part of a “secret” U.S. military presence in Israel." (The Intercept, Oct. 27)

This report is both shocking and traumatizing. The fact that the Palestinians have to go through enormous suffering because Israel lied and the US, UK and it’s racist allies decided to support them through the lies is scary but not surprising given that they have acted in lies before. My heart goes out for all the people caught in this conflict.
Don’t believe the hype
You will be equally surprised when/if you ever decide to look into [redacted]
Fast forward to today, 112 days gone by and after the many truth that was revealed and/or leaked. We see a true human side to H..a..m..a..s , also see the injustice happening to Palestinians (all over occupied Palestine). This is truly a fight between day and night, good and bad , right and wrong. We see the masks come off so many who always talked about justice and human rights.
As human right is so fit for Ukrainians (European and US officials and media once said “they are people like us blue eyes and blond hair”, indicating that other refugees are less) , that same human right is suddenly not so much of a right to a middle eastern or an Arab or worse….. like a Palestinian!
By God we all know if we really want to seek the truth! Our morality and hearts will lead us to the truth, and if we want to ignore the truth! We can find a million lie to differentiate between one human and another.

Truth?? Ha!
There were no No Attacks on civilians the 7th. Just collateral. 500/1200-1300 (they keep magically decreasing) were soldiers. Out of 769 names, 462 military (55 soldiers, 13 privates, 59 corporals, 200 sergeants of whom 45 are sergeants majors, 48 commanders, 32 lieutenants, 5 lieutenant colonels, 6 colonels, 13 captains, 37 officers, 10 inspectors, 6 intendents, 2 Lance Corp). It was a Military defeat, they are taking it out on the rest.

@@satan6548of course you would have a problem with truth😂😂
It is as if the lid has finally been lifted off of this long-festering cancer on the U.S., and the TRUTH is gloriously manifesting itself to all. THANX to Chris and Max.
Well articulated: "long-festering cancer" but it should state "on the world".
What do you mean by cancer? Because I did not see the report
Unfortunately, there is no audience for the truth. When the massacre at Amritsar occurred in India and the British soldiers fired into the crowd, the British were outraged because it was carried by the news of the time. There were journalists and photographers present to record what happened. Furthermore, the British population was intelligent enough to digest the news and react to it. If Fascists control the flow of world media and protesters are arrested or fired from their jobs or otherwise persecuted, it will be a slim chance that affords us any justice in the future. I feel that these crimes will be like most of those by Stalin and Mao, largely unrecorded and unremembered and ripe for repetition.
The AIPAC and NRA have got to go. Also Jews are way overrepresented in govt for only 2.4million in USA. That and their birthright, their dual citizenship is a conflict of interest. They put Israel first over US. We need to push back against the antisemitism card that is constantly being played and stand firm.
Oh the US government knows and has always known how Israel handle their business.
This story is the first one I’ve heard that actually makes sense.
Amazing work Max 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I believe all journalists who have had the courage to go into Gaza, to dig deep for the truth, especially when it means risking their own lives and their reputation, should be awarded a medal of honour. And also for those who have been killed carrying out their work. A huge debt is owed to all of them. 🙏🏻
Nothing to do with Egypt not allowing in any Palestinians of course🤪🤪🤪

The truth will always find it's way to the surface. Thanks to Chris Hedges and Max Blumenthal for this enlightening report. Karma is not dead. We await justice.
Before 1948, the country known as Palestine was home to a diverse peaceful population of Arabs, Jews, and Christians, as all groups had religious ties to the area, especially the city of Jerusalem.
The State of Israel of today was created by the United Nation's (through Britain's 'Balfour Declaration') dividing up in 1947 of the country of Palestine. Thus, the State of Israel today is not to be confused with, and has no connection to, the word “Israel” within the Christian Bible. research it -
You could say Karma is already here my friend but I have a feeling she is far from done with Israel!
When it comes, you won't like it
19:12 "tell tale signs of hellfire missles strikes from Apache helicopters" NOT ONE WORD OF THAT is "the truth". Where is the mangled metal? THE CAR SHOULD BE PRETZLED!!! Ffs!!!!! The REAL answer is cars catch on fire and everything in them is plastic and plastic burns and melts. What the fuck. Take ONE SCIENCE CLASS!!!!
On the contrary, it seems to me like the truth never finds its way to the surface. This is just another fucking story, contradicting the last one that I heard.
Thanks to Chris & Max for being true journalist!
Sounds like Doctor's family deliberately targeted because he refused to evacuate the hospital.
Thank you Judge and Aaron!!
What I would like to see is for Max to make a folder and put all the video materials and web captures he has pertaining to this broadcast. Theres lots to go through. If we cannot have a real court of justice, then lets make one.
Yo, That's real
It’s a war! Started by Hamas!
Twitter/X is generally a good source of obtaining such info.
I’ve seen good documentaries& clips on 9.11& many other geopolitical events and its absolutely SHAMEFUL I’m only learning of now!
Better than other social media at least
You could always start a thread and pin it to your page!
I also think Netanyahu is not interested in saving the hostiges. This is so terrible.

You're probably correct, after all, the more dead hostages there are, the more talking points he has to continue to revenge campaign he has propagandized himself.
@@glenagarrett4704 He'll claim the hostages were tortured to death by Palestinians.

But what Blumenthal is saying is all BS
@@EPA18Not! Which is why the Israeli army has indiscriminately bombed Gaza at the expense of the civilian population and the hostages.

Outstanding, informative reporting. Max Blumenthal: you've got brains and guts.
THIS makes a lot of sense!!! We need to keep spreading truth like these in order to achieve justice and humanity. So the world don't turn a blind eye.
The hostages are important and reputable eye witnesses. Netanyahu does not want them released ,their collective version of events will contradict his version.
Great and valid point, no one else said it, I 100 percent agree with you. Great job! GOD bless eyes open and no fear!
Why? Because their experiences will be all kumbaya song and dance?
One released hostage already said in the beginning that she was treated very well as well as the other hostages but the next day she changed her story. Wonder if Israel threatened her with death?
But some would have DEFINITELY seen said atrocities if they did actually occur.@@leviashanken2506
after she was beaten (she said that) and most of her community was butchered (she said that too) and her husband is still there @@ingehanson
Let's be honest, the idea and Netanyahu do not care about their own hostages. Of course on TV they're going to say they care about the hostages but just think if Israel is blocking clean water, feel, electricity and medical supplies, that affects the hostages also. If they're blocking food and water what are the hostages going to eat and that's not even taking into account the bombings. Those hostages have to be somewhere in Gaza in one of those buildings or scattered around in different buildings so if they're bombing every other building they're most likely going to kill the hostages too and if the bombings don't kill him like I said no water no food no medical supply and no electricity is going to kill them then. But Netanyahu doesn't carry he'll just blame her mom's for it he'll say Hamas killed all their hostages but you got to use common sense. Why would Hamas kill all these hostages out of the blue, you have to ask yourself. The whole point of having a hostages is to have some leverage and some type of deal. But like I said Netanyahu does not care about not only Palestinian civilians he doesn't even care about his own civilians
It appears to me to be common sense.
dude, he cheated on his wife more than once. that in itself gives him free reign with anyone else.
Not just Netanyahu. Israel has been playing the same kind of games for 70+ years.
I guess he would say that Hamas does have food, water etc. in the tunnels that they steal from the Gazans.

I was just telling my grandson, after he showed me something on CZcams where a monster was eating babies, he was trying to figure out if the piece was true or not.
I told him, anytime someone is talking about eating babies, it's not true. It's just the worst thing anyone can think of for someone to do. So, if you want to make a monster or a person seem truly evil, you accuse them of eating babies.
Or, burning them in an oven, I guess.
The stories they're trying to sell are quite transparent. They use the same playbook all the time.
yeah. The "eating babies" trope goes back a long long way. It's WARGanda 101
But bombing and starving babies does not make one a monster?
@@jinakiabdullah4432 - it's a distance thing. Eating and burning babies is a personal act you must perform, bombing innocent babies is removed by a huge step, so somehow "less of a crime"? I don't believe it is, of course, just trying to make sense of the rhetroic question you ask.
@@jinakiabdullah4432I'm sorry, definitely, that is evil.
I'm so sorry! At that point I was only thinking about the stories the Israeli government had concocted. I've been very upset about their actions in Gaza. But I hadn't even guessed at how much they lied about October 7.
Exaggerated, sure. But nothing like what has been reported here.
But, you know the stories about 10/7 didn't sound quite right, somehow. I thought there was exaggeration. That's not unusual. But the stories the reporter told here feel more real somehow. They fit with the other pieces. Those stories fit with the bombing, which makes no sense whatsoever. It fits with the Israeli government hurrying to start bombing when Qatar had been arranging an exchange of hostages.
I'm just so sorry .

They already know, but they don't care.
They will cover this up
Main stream media is pro Israel government controlled main stream media, they don't want the truth to come out, it won't fit their narrative cause Netanyahu & US wants this war.
On est tellement lavé du cerveau avec cette propagande: c'est quand qu'on se réveille??!
Merci à vous 2!
Les musulmans, nous on sait.. rien de nouveau et c'est pour ça les sionistes et leurs alliés nous détestent. En principe un psychopathe n'aime pas être exposé.
Hellow, I am a jewish man from Israel, I would like to highlight something he left out: Some terrorists at the day of slaughter were stealing clothes from IDF's dead soldiers, resulting in the police being forced to attack everyone who acted out of line due to the difficulty of knowing who is who.
Hannibal directive did it.
SALUTE TRUTH AND MAX BLUMENTHAL FOR STANDING FOR HUMANITY.🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋
I have been following Israel/Palestine politics, news and analysis for about 45 years since the revolution in my country and I am hardly impressed most of the time because they are mostly familiar/repetitive to me. Your guy's report/analysis was very impressive, informative and truthful. Thank You.
Did you see any evidence for his claims
@@ereuveny Didn't you see that lady coming from nova festival with her husband into beery kibbutz,well if you're in Israel that has been wiped out from any news channel 🤕
@@ereuveny in 1956 idf wanted to teach palestinians a lesson after the suez canal war. they went to a village and rounded up the men and boys and killed them all. a boy was later found alive under the bodies. they went to many other villages and did the same. another boy ran away at one of the other massacres. and a third. years later these three boys formed Hamas.
@@ereuveny that document they said was a calendar. it's not a calender. it's a plan to destroy everyday lol. there's evidence. old hostage lady saying she was treated well lol. at some point you can tell someone there is a creator and everything didnt just pop up from nothing, but they still have to choose.
@@ereuveny just go check Max Blumenthal's work at the Grayzone to see the references and evidence. He's not making this up.
Max Blumenthal is a superstar
Have you tried candy? Hand out candy that always helps!
My family went thru Nazi occupation in Eastern Europe. What Israel is doing here is very reminiscent of what my parents and their extended families went thru. Absolutely disgusting
They teach Hitlerism in the Israeli classes. Blows my mind.
Same sponsors...
Your so very wrong
@@chrismiller6095it is right Zionist are the modern Nazy
grandchildren of victims creating more victims. how absurd but strangely true.
Thank you Max Blumenthal, for your tenacious pursuit of the truth as to what happened on October 7th.
Bibi Mass Murder Inc's "new Pearl Harbor".
Mr Hedges, I’ve had the pleasure of hearing you speak on other topics twice through Zaytuna. You’re amazing. Thank you for searching for the truth and bringing it to the forefront!
Israel now admit they shot at their own people using a helicopter gunship, saying they were aiming at hamas, but yet aimed at random people.
And where did you bring it from?
No
No witnesses saw helicopters NONE of them
Listen to their testimony
@@ofrikalif4938I believe it was from an article published by the Hareetz an Israeli newspaper
No they absolutely have not! They have said that it's a crazy lie. This guy is like the people who said the US gvnt planned 911. You're not paying attention to how his theories do not work
Chris Hedges and Max Blumenthal in one video?…the team up I never knew I needed. Much love, gentlemen/souls.
You left out a few facts: the multiple times Arabs and Arab armies trying to eliminate Israel. Please inform your listeners of the Hamas charter. Have you come across it in your "research " ?
@@ElMatadorDeLasPulgas have you come across the dead babies in incubators in Gaza?
@@ElMatadorDeLasPulgas apologies, I didn’t mean to be rude, you seem like an educated guy, so I’m guessing those babies were Hamas? The children of darkness, the Amalek? Maybe Hamas hid their SD drives in those incubators? Or maybe they were hiding in those incubators? That would make more sense, I shouldn’t question your integrity, sense of morality, intelligence, or mental stability.
Atrocities don't forgive atrocities. Unless you are just looking for an excuse to apologise for genocide. In which case, you're on the same wrong side of history that any person that turns away from hard truth. They have been oppressed since 1948. Amnesty International calls Gaza an internment camp and an open air prison. Many Jewish activists have said that it is a slow genocide occurring since the 40's. You can look at the comparative death tolls worth a simple Google search just like the rest of us.
@@ElMatadorDeLasPulgas There has been back and forth for decades. I am taking this as a possibility. So much propaganda on both sides.
Give the natives rights and stop the military occupation that’s been going on for over 50 years against the natives of the land there is a start
This is real journalism! Thank you!
Real one sided journalism
LOL. This is a load of BS
Stay safe Max and Chris. ❤
Now I seriously worry for them.
I hope not.
Can your work be included as evidence to the ICC and ICJ? Thank you for your work Chris + Max.
No, because Max is just making it up. All the evidence is documented in video and eye witness testimony, along with the bodies of the victims that remain.
No because it’s not factual
@@Ohaelise
There were many facts given....
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Time to report! 😊
Great work, guys 👏
The world is starting to see the truth. Free Palestine 🇵🇸 Stop the Israeli / US genocide against Palestinians 🇵🇸
#BDS
The truth is that there are NAZIs on both sides of this conflict and people are getting duped into choosing a side when both sides hate them. The Muslim Brotherhood was the closely allied with Adolph Hitler and amplified his hatred of Jews. Conversely, secular Jews , like the ones who support the Muslim Brotherhood tool Barack Obama, were on both sides of WWII and are on both sides of this conflict and are taking foreign dark money from Arabella Advisors -Hans Jorge Weiss, Soros the NAZI and others , to push hatred of America and Israel and make the US ungovernable in order to "fundamentally change the United States of America." Listen to the Arabella paid protesters shouting 'From Palestine to Mexico, No Walls."
Wow!! a real eye-opener. Why don't CNN and BBC bring people like you; or is it because you speak the truth?
Legacy media whether it’s cnn or fox lie
@@ana34602and ESPECIALLY BBC.. even after CNN had retracted Biden story of "Seeing " photos of beheaded babies as it was a lie..
BBC were still Broadcasting it..
Why would they want to expose themselves by inviting real guests on there propaganda show?
Close your eyes, Amar, you will be blinded by flying bullcrap. All lies.
You fail to realize who runs and owns the main American Media. Anyone who speaks against what's happening in Israel will lose their job. We see that already.
Did it happen in Israel? Or did it happen in illegally occupied Palestine? Just asking.
how can a 5 year old child be guilty of what happened on October 7 and before. over 6 thousand children have died in Gaza. children are starving in Gaza. Israel stop killing innocents.
that too, hundreds of them were below the age of four. infants and toddlers, those are the threats to israel and their stability
dude, they are intentionally targeting them.
it is what Zionist Israelis are. not jews, the two do not mix ten commandments vs Zionism, its it on the same level of Nazism, fascism. religious Jewish are not for that
@@thanos9820obviously , and the hospital targeting is to make the Gaza strip as in
Uninhabitable as possible
Is that number really reliable? Even if it was 100 children dead that is too much, but I don't trust either Hamas or the IDF to be reporting numbers accurately right now.
The more I hear Israeli officials speak the less I respect Israel
Thank you so much for being honest and brave people that just want to find out truth and tell the world
This makes it more likely that Israel allowed Hamas's action so they could use it as an excuse for the genocide in Gaza.
EXACTLY
Planned, set up and used as sick false flag to get emotional agreement to do this awful genocide...and to keep ginning it up.
@@awarenessofday1105he's corrupt and was going down anyway
Yes.
@@awarenessofday1105 he on brink of jail by his corruption, he need diversion and make attention to something else like patriotism. Cause at my country use the same tactics, do divert big corruption with this same thing "terrorist". And.. they learnt from the same school, lol.
Thank you for giving us the tragic truth of this
