Hamas strike on Israel - Threadbans in op - mod warning in OP updated 19/10/23

Zaka used Oct 7 to raise money by shooting PR videos.

That's going to go down well with families of Israelis murdered, raped or taken hostage...

Zaka May Have Cost Israel Its Case Against Hamas at the World Court

Last week Haaretz published an investigation disclosing faults in the work of Zaka, a Haredi rescue organization best known for retrieving body parts after terror attacks (Aaron Rabinowitz, Jan. 31). The expose found that in the chaos of the first days after the October 7 massacre, the Israel Defense Forces assigned some of the work of collecting bodies and other evidence to Zaka, whose volunteers took advantage of their presence on the scene to film PR videos and to raise funds.

I think you're confusing me with someone else?

I never made a claim that Israel started the war in 1948. I simply quoted Wikipedia - I even put the sentence in bold so there would be no confusion.

Sorry if you got confused. Easily done.

No gotchas either.

There's a number of news items coming out today that, as predicted by many, show the propaganda put out by Israel, the utter lies told and how "moral" the IDF is.

I sense that the wheels are coming off for Israel and it will continue to unravel.

Just on that Zaka story - these are Israelis filming Oct 7th and using that material as a means to raise their PR profile and make money. I can see the outrage and disgust that will generate reverberating for about 2 seconds...

Disinformation forms a huge part in their strategy but people are beginning to see through it -

Disinformation campaigns

''Researchers have documented at least 40,000 bots or fake social media accounts, as well as strategic use of state-controlled media outlets like RT, Sputnik and Tasnim. Israel has released several pieces of incorrect or disputed information, leading to weakened credibility and online ridicule.''

The most moral army in the world?

In their dreams:

Haaretz:

GAZA: The IDF has begun investigating dozens of incidents in the current war with Hamas that have raised suspicions that orders were disobeyed, in which commanders on the ground exceeded their authority or where it is suspected that the international laws of war were violated.

For those scoffing at the IDF killing sheep article posted here earlier:

Haaretz:

Arab Israeli lawmaker Ahmed Tibi shared on X/Twitter footage of sheep being shot by Israeli snipers in Khan Yunis in Gaza. According to sources in Khan Yunis, the sheep were in Bani Suheila, near Khan Yunis, an area under Israeli military control.

Stick your tongue out:

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir issued a public apology after his son suggested U.S. President Biden suffered from dementia in a tweet he posted on X.

"Complete defeat of Hamas"

At a meeting in the White House, Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana told U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan that Israel's goal in the Gaza war is the "complete defeat of Hamas," and thanked the U.S. for its support since the outbreak of the war, especially in efforts to secure the release of Israeli hostages.

oh, wait...

Without minimizing the importance of the [Israeli] army's successes while fighting an unprecedented underground war, Hamas has not been defeated in Gaza. Far from it" – Amos Harel

Banksy knows

Banksie hits that home better than anyone could. That's a forever artwork...

More israeli scumbaggery

The fact they are being investigated is to be welcomed. Although if you were a cynic you might think this is due to the fallout from the South African case.

I wouldn't hold my breath about anyone being jailed and kicked out of the IDF if these allegations are found to be true.
