A review of Israeli and Palestinian war propaganda – and why many “pandemic heroes” have turned into “Palestine zeroes” when it comes to exposing propaganda.
Beware of war propaganda
In response to the unprecedented October 7 Hamas cross-border attack on Israel, the well-oiled war propaganda machines on all sides once again shifted into high gear.
The Hamas attack itself consisted of multiple components, which has led to some confusion among analysts and commentators. In particular, Hamas militants:
[...]
In response to the Hamas attack, the Israeli military has conducted large-scale airstrikes and prepared a possible ground invasion of the Gaza Strip. Within just one week, Israel not only mobilized more troops than Russia initially deployed in Ukraine, but also, tragically, committed more war crimes than Russia committed in Ukraine during 600 days of war.
[...]
In some cases, the Israeli leadership has denied responsibility for attacks on Gaza. In the case of the Gaza Baptist Hospital, for instance, the IDF argued that the hospital was hit by a misfired Palestinian rocket, but the available evidence indicates that it was an above-ground explosion of an Israeli precision-guided bomb. As the IDF previously issued evacuation orders to hospitals in the area, the idea may have been to send a shock wave through the hospital without destroying the building.
(Update: British Channel 4 has since all but confirmed that it was indeed an Israeli airstrike.)
