Arab Speaker on Gaza and Western Responses to October 7 Claims

You know, one of the most frustrating things about this situation is how much we, regular Arab people,

have known from the start,

and we've had to know it and watch the rest of the world pretend to slowly discover it as we go.

Like, I knew that there were no 40 babies.

I knew that there was no grape.

I knew this.

I knew that the numbers were inflated.

I knew that they fired upon their own people.

I knew that they were going to use this as an excuse to completely cleanse the area.

I knew this.

But we have to wait and be like, "Oh, actually, there weren't any 40 babies."

I know!

There had... I had to wait and be like, "Oh, there is no evidence that there was any grape."

I know!

Uh, "Oh, it seems like they're pushing them south and south and south and south and south

until there's nowhere left to go and they're attacking that area as well."

I know! It was always the plan.

And we know this. We all know this because we've grown up watching this.

We know what they do. We know how they operate.

We have built a psychological profile, and we know... we are experts in the field.

And we have to watch international courts, we have to watch Western media,

we have to watch politicians be like, "Oh, well, they're saying that they're doing this."

But... and then they're like, "Oh, we had no idea that they were doing that."

I think you did know.

I think you did know.

Maybe the citizens didn't know, and watching them slowly click in their head

instead of just listening to us...

has been frustrating.
