Don’t reply if you’re not going to provide a source other than your word. My bias is that I’m formally trained in identifying mis and disinformation within large scale combat operations. Sorry that you assume that bias is not taken into account in a professional setting. I’ll just trust your “I know a guy” narrative.

That’s not a primary source and you are a useful idiot.

Your source is that you know a person who heard it once from a journalist speaking their opinion? I’ll let that speak for itself.

Got a primary source for that?

I’m not familiar with that record but I’m sure that if it is true it has something to do with the former title. People get emotional sometimes. That doesn’t make it policy.

Bro, I’m a primary source. Have fun not impacting the world at all.

There’s only one side in this conflict claiming death to one side and it’s not Israel. When a group tells you who they are, you should believe them.

You cannot even define the difference between capitalism and fascism. I do think you should change what you are doing.

Political archives where there is an incentive to cover up your own actions and lie about production is not an inherently trustworthy source. There were no third party validation of the narratives that corroborate them but plenty that poke holes in them. The reason why the West seemed so untrustworthy relative to the East at the time was due to a relatively free press. Amazing how checks on power degrade trust in one faction but also keep it relatively honest.

Sorry, I missed the part where they were planning production and redistributing the returns. I guess there’s still work to be done to complete control. I’m not sure why you think this would be better. Please address this point. You are bouncing around it. I don’t care about Israel in this discussion.

This is a conversation on left economics. Gaza has literally nothing to do with it except as a case study in power. You brought it up. You are the one projecting. I’m bringing us back on topic.

When you place economic decisions from a profit driven one into the hands of the politician, you get just as perverse incentives. What’s even worse is that the government cannot fail so the system just gets progressively worse until the entire system collapses. I’m good with a liberal system as is with some moderate reforms to account for externalities.

I’m perfectly happy not spending 90% of my time and energy feeding my family. You may think that would be a better life but industrial farming does have a lot of benefits, through either command or liberal economics. It’s there that the liberal system shines bright as a command economy requires local production to motivate workers for the above reasons.

It appears to me that Israel did not have full economic power over the Gaza strip like they would under a command economy and the elected government of Hamas used that to prepare to kill over a thousand civilians in Israel. To bad they weren’t authoritarian like you would prefer and they could fully stamp out the Arabs in the region. Funny how it goes both ways sometimes.

Imagine if Israel completely controlled the means of production over Palestine as would be your preferred system. Would that make the genocide less effective? We wouldn’t even be talking about it in the current tense regardless of how taken you are by the Hamas claims since 2006.

Yes, take out the checks on power inherent within private corporatism and you get full on communism. It’s not better. Add in racism and you make genocide extremely efficient as the state controls all resources.

I don’t think you realize how quickly things devolved into starvation under the Soviet Union or early CCP. They then very quickly shifted to centralized planning. This isn’t a question of scale or perception. It was immediate and required a change very quickly.

This is exactly why the dismantling of capitalism in a post authoritarian world has so far always resulted in starvation. You have no sufficient answer to this question that addresses actual human behavior. It inevitably results in forced labor and oppression in the name of humanity.
