Not surprised to find that Woodward repeats debunked Israeli propaganda that Hamas fighters were “burning homes and slaughtering entire families, including children, and babies in cribs and bunk beds…Hamas shot, beheaded, immolated, dismembered and burned Israelis alive” (189). He also reports the number of those killed on October 7 to be 1200, that’s a number Israel would later roll down to

First book I’ve ever read by Woodward and hopefully my last. It’s so irritating to see him absolving and rationalising the tone deaf statements made within the Biden administration in regard to Putin and Ukraine.
