- Israel’s strategies are questioned due to a lack of concrete evidence supporting recent claims.
- Instances of unverified allegations and misinformation highlight the giant propaganda machine of Israel and the absolute necessity to not blind follow information presented to us in the mainstream media.
Grounded in factual evidence, this article examines the strategies employed by Israel thus far in their endeavour to eradicate the Palestinian population. It scrutinises Israel’s assertions, unveiling a conspicuous absence of concrete evidence to substantiate their recent claims.
Misleading Allegations and Deceptive Appearances
The narrative surrounding the claim of 40 beheaded babies originated with a report by journalist Nicole Zedeck on i24News, featuring an interview with Israeli reserve soldier David Ben Zion on October 11th. This account swiftly garnered international media attention, including CNN, which propagated stories of beheadings and ‘ISIS-style executions.’ However, Israeli authorities stated,
‘We cannot confirm, but you can assume it happened.’
While other correspondents subsequently refuted any evidence of beheadings. Joe Biden, the U.S. President, initially declared having seen images of ‘terrorists beheading children,’ only for the White House to later clarify that he was quoting press reports.
A German woman, Shani Louk, who had appeared in a video riding on the back of an abduction truck, has reportedly been confirmed alive according to her mother, Ricarda Louk. The information was relayed by sources in Palestine, affirming her daughter’s survival in a Gaza hospital, albeit in critical condition due to a severe head injury. Numerous UK news agencies, including the Daily Mail, had erroneously reported her as ‘killed by Hamas’ and claimed they ‘paraded her body on the back of a truck.’
Zaka, the Israeli rescue organisation, asserted that its paramedics evacuated approximately 260 bodies from a music festival. However, despite video footage circulating on the internet depicting festival attendees in a state of panic fleeing gunshots, no independent organisation has, as of five days following these reports, confirmed the existence of the 260 deceased. Furthermore, no video or photographic evidence has been provided to substantiate the claims of the 260 bodies. Similarly, allegations such as the rape of women, assaults on children, and attacks on the elderly have lacked substantiation.
Ben Shapiro, American columnist and co-founder of Daily Wire, received much backlash for sharing an image purporting to depict a ‘burnt Jewish baby.’ This image was flagged as AI-generated by X’s Community Notes feature, with evidence presented by aiornot.com. The Community Notes feature relies on votes by X-users, and it was Dr. Anastasia Maria Loupis, Jackson Hinkle, and other X-users who exposed Shapiro’s alleged deception. This incident highlights the issue of misinformation during the genocide of Palestinians.
Dehumanising Palestinians
Yoav Gallant, the Israeli Defence Minister, employed dehumanising language when referring to Palestinians, comparing them to animals. Such a deplorable comparison invokes chilling historical parallels, notably with the tactics employed by the Nazis in their quest to annihilate the Jewish population.
Arsen Ostrovsky, a Zionist, human rights lawyer (a notable irony in this context), shared this post on the platform X. This instance highlights the perilous progression toward genocide that dehumanisation represents.
In a disheartening testament to our present times, we find ourselves bearing witness to a tragedy of immense proportions, as a genocide unfolds unabated before our very eyes. What compounds the sorrow is the grievous reality that this unfolding catastrophe not only persists in the face of overwhelming evidence but, alarmingly, garners the support and complicity of numerous international leaders. The failure to address this egregious situation-the plight of the Palestinian people, not only stains our collective conscience but also highlights the urgent need for a unified and resolute response to prevent further suffering and to uphold the principles of humanity.
