6. I can easily predict that the following things will be said.

I'm making these predictions as a gentile who's been paying attention to what's been said since October 7.

Beginning the morning of October 8, in unison, simultaneously in locations all over the country, in a not-at-all spontaneous use of identical memes and phrases, the following has been said:

1. It's wonderful how our freedom fighters learned to fly! (That one got dropped pretty quickly, probably due to the uncomfortable obviousness that the "freedom fighters" didn't open the gates of Gaza and let everybody else out, but instead filmed themselves taking bloody hostages back into Gaza...this didn't really match the usual heroic trope so was dropped in lieu of a more blunt approach...)

2. The Jews are lying again. I predict this will be the main response. Along with the corollary...

3. This is just propaganda.

and, as we've seen...

4. It still doesn't justify....

And so nothing will change.
