Dutch parrots the propaganda , so though he is not a credible source , the majority go along with his claims .
That won't change until the fundamental lie is exposed widely .

The 7th might have been a surprise to the Israeli's but they certainly did enough provocation that it is dubious .

We know Hamas was being used as a tool by the Israelis to divide the Palestinians , and funded by Israel , and we also know that the Israeli response on the 7th was late.
It is too difficult to accept that the most heavily surveyed patch of ground on earth gave no warning.
And most importantly , everyone is going by the Israeli account of what happened on the 7th , and we know with certainty that they have lied about everything else.
There are too many reports and witnesses of a mass slaughter of fleeing Jews by Israeli heavy weapons, and it doesn't add up that the main target on the day would have been the music festival which was specifically for raising support for Palestinian rights.

Hamas apparently confronted and defeated military targets on the day , I don't see how they could have been concentrating on killing civilians. .

I'm certain that the IDF people were kidnapped deliberately to be used as barter for the release of Hamas people, and that many civilians were as well in the belief that they would provide a shield of sorts for escape, but it doesn't seem likely that civilians were the main target of kidnap .
