Fake news from front: Israeli propaganda

Ashley Wells, Sheldon S., Pfc. Sandoval (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Israel's war declaration on Hamas is a dangerous game of fake news. Here's Why
(Firstpost) Oct. 11, 2023: Since Hamas struck back against 16 years of IDF oppression with a "surprise" attack on Israel on Saturday (10/7), a flood of videos and photos supposedly showing the conflict have filled social media, making it difficult for onlookers from around the world to sort fact from Israeli fiction and propaganda.

Palki Sharma looks at how misinformation is flooding social media during Israel's revenge on all Palestinians with the back of the US Pentagon, CIA, and arms dealers.
One-sided pro-Israel bias of US corporate media

US Pres. Biden lies about seeing pictures, just repeating Israeli PM Netanyahu's lies

Joe Biden has a long history of mendacity, but it used to be lying mainly about himself and his over-inflated achievements. He was humiliated when the truth came out, not that anyone ever noticed. He was the DNC (Democratic National Convention) candidate, and they did everything they could to shield him from consequences. So that he continues to lie about bigger and more important things should surprise no one. Now he claims to have "seen" photos of decapitated babies, as he trails off absentmindedly during his speech rather than emoting something congruous with having seen such photographic evidence, doctored or not. But then the White House denies he actually saw any proof as he claimed. He was just told about it. He believes what he's told and reports it as fact when it bolsters the Israeli/US propaganda narrative. That's not lying, is it? Oh, it is? Well, you know Uncle Joe; he's demented with Alzheimer's and too old for the job. He's going to Tel Aviv today, so the issue is sure to be discussed, and he won't lie anymore from now on.

It's okay when Israel commits war crimes then lies about it, blames others, or claims it's just the "fog of war," and anyway the Hamas political movement started it so Israel and the US military have a right to ignore all international standards and commit genocide, displacement, and "ethnic cleansings." It may seem like a crime against humanity, in the international legal sense, but from Israel's point of view they're just "mowing the lawn" and if innocent civilian human beings become collateral damage, take it up with God. It's nobody's fault but their own; blame the victim, and go back to sleep, America, baby.


Fake news: ‘40 beheaded babies’ - How corporate media amplified an unconfirmed story | The Big Picture S3E3
(Middle East Eye) Oct. 12, 2023: The Big Picture Podcast On Wednesday, the world woke up to newspapers plastered with a horrific FAKE headline about ‘40 babied decapitated by Hamas.’ Was the story true? No. Does it matter? Not to some.

Let's dig into the dizzying, circular debate around the darkest story of an already devastating week and ask whether journalists fulfilled their duty to fact-check it, or instead helped Israel justify its war crime policy of "collective punishment" on all civilians in Gaza.
