BEFORE ISRAEL TELLS THE WEST


AFTER THEY TELL THE WEST


Israel is literally getting more cartoonishly evil as they see they literally have free reign to do whatever without nay repurcussions.

It seems to me highly improbable that Hamas was able to build (or get hold of) a bomb powerful enough to immediately level a hospital. If they had such a device, why had they not deployed it against an Israeli target before?

The narrative that Israel wants to push (After the West can see the footage of dead children) is that Hamas was actually trying to shoot at Israel and the Hospital got in the way.

And literally the day before they were spreading that Hamas was secretly digging tunnels underneath the Hospitals, because they need to keep making the "HUMAN SHEILDS" narrative more outlandish than before.

The headline to the CORRECTED version which the AP is now using has been posted.

Given the tactical disinformation that is coming out of Hamas that is meant to mislead, we will likely be doing this more and more in this conflict.

Agreed. There is so much disinformation coming from both sides.

And weirdly India is playing a big role in Anti-Palestinian disinformation.

Frankly, I don't trust anything I see or that is written on Twitter. And I'm waiting on even trusted news sources. So many of the pictures are doctored, or reused from other events.

Not surprising, but this conflict in particular is geared towards manipulating the masses through social media.

Sign of the times.

"Wars and rumors of wars."

I'm seeing it a lot more coming from one side than the other, probably mostly cause I do not follow people giving commentary on the issue and don't really SEEK out specific sources and such, I try to look at them all and base it off of that.

BrentinCO: And weirdly India is playing a big role in Anti-Palestinian disinformation.

Not really. Modi hates Muslims, so him spreading misonfo to make them look bad is nothing new

My biggest issue is that Israeli misinfo is puppeted around mainstream media with no vetting. Then after the initial story is in everyone's mind, they casually drop ᵒʰ ᵇᵗʷ ʷᵉ ᶜᵒᵐᵖˡᵉˡᵗᵉˡʸ ᵐᵃᵈᵉ ᵗʰᵃᵗ ᵘᵖ ᵒᵒᵖˢᶦᵉ⁻ᵈᵒᵒᵈˡᵉ. Then Israel is not held to account for the misinfo they spread through their official networks, so they continue to blatantly lie and push rhetoric that causes more issues with rhetoric and in turn causes more misinfo to be circulated. And they do it because they want to drum up more support for their cause. And for many reasons, the Media needs to print something for the 24/7 news cycle.

It is the same after 9/11; the media needed to drum up fervor for the impending invasion but the 9/11 terrorist attacks were not good enough so they had to go "WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION" or "MORE ATTACKS ARE COMING" in order to make people want to attack. The same goes for a lot of the Israeli propaganda for the conflict. They need people in the West to care, so they will say whatever to make u care. And the MIC needs money in their pockets so they will drum up support too. Then we have the Christian Fundamentalists, etc.

Israel knows they can do ANYTHING and face no repercussions because no matter what, someone is going to uncritically take it and run with it.

The Palestinians don't have missiles with warheads of this magnitude. Whereas the Israelis do.

Draw your own conclusions.
