Mauro wrote that the massacre on October 7 had been organized by Hamas to provoke the Israeli response and fuel propaganda about "genocide" and hatred towards Israel in the world. He described the operation as planned and successful. He argued that the word "genocide" had appeared on social media and in the media a few days after the first Israeli airstrikes, when the casualties were still only a few dozen, and that it had been repeated since then despite, in his view, facts and numbers contradicting it. He described those who used it in derogatory terms. According to Mauro, Israel had initiated a war to eliminate Hamas, regarded as an existential threat, taking into account the death of many innocent civilians. He claimed that Hamas used them as human shields and tools of propaganda and quoted Sinwar's words: "These sacrifices are necessary." He added that Hamas wanted many deaths, while Israel sought to limit them. Mauro acknowledged that atrocities had also been committed by Israelis during the war, linking them to the effects of war, fear, and revenge. He argued that it was important to consider the overall picture rather than the actions of individuals. #Guerra #Israele #Hamas (translated)
