Ex-U.S. Army Chief Defends Israel's Oct. 7 Response


(Times of Israel) Gen. (ret.) Mark Milley, former Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, defended Israel's conduct of the war in Gaza at a national security panel in Washington on May 7. "Israel has a right to defend itself. They were the ones who were attacked, brutally, on the 7th of October. 1200 people were slaughtered - not just killed in the conduct of war, they were slaughtered, beheaded, butchered, raped in front of their husbands." "It was stuff that was not even a hair's breadth removed from what the Nazis did. And if you take the math and do 1,200 and apply it to the United States, that'd be 50,000-100,000 people dead in a morning. Can you imagine what we would do? If there's any morality at all, you need to get into it, achieve your political objectives, get it done, get it done fast, and get it over with."
