Will more people recognize the emotional manipulation and anti-Israel propaganda/journalistic fraud? The New York Times offered a timid correction of a faked photo; BILD, Germany’s largest newspaper, finally gave a cover story to how Hamas has been staging photos; anyone can do a reverse image search showing the reuse of photos from other conflicts; the Washington Post finally posted a story about Israel feeding Gazans; and the UN admitted that 88% of their aid trucks (since May) have been looted. Please be vigilant - this week, hours after Hamas released repugnant videos of tortured and starved hostages, including of Evyatar David forced to dig his own grave, someone uploaded horrifying fake videos of Gaza made by A.I. to actor Michael Caine’s X account with over 800,000 followers and the AP went out of its way to show empathy for injured Hezbollah terrorists.
“Rather than pushing a two-state mirage – again, just ticking boxes that people feel they must reflexively check – the EU would be better off talking about how the EU can help disarm terrorists in Gaza and the West Bank and what role it can play in a deradicalization process inside those territories.” Herb Keinon
Europe and
the UK sabotaged the hostage/ceasefire negotiations. Within 48 hours of the
22-member Arab League, plus the European Union and another 17
countries (including Canada), at a UN conference signing a declaration condemning Hamas’ October 7 massacre, calling on Israel to immediately stop
the war in Gaza, announcing they would recognize a Palestinian state, and
demanding the terror group Hamas disarm and relinquish power to the Palestinian
Authority in the Gaza Strip, Hamas abandoned ceasefire talks and released
grotesque hostage videos. Additionally, in April, the UK
(secretly/discretely) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Northern Ireland
and the Palestinian Government where “The Participants underline the importance
of maintaining commitment to the PLO
principles.”

ISRAEL
Elie Aloni (former hostage): The rallies and demonstrations continue all over the country…. So the world sees the photos of the child from Gaza, but doesn't give a damn about the starving hostages. No question that Israel failed dreadfully on the media front... Nation after nation are announcing they will support a declaration of a Palestinian State in the upcoming UN convention, making sure Hamas will achieve its goal, and Oct. 7 is totally forgotten...Bibi has surely succeeded in destroying every part of Israel - security, education, high tech sector, economy (you can't imagine the cost of living and food prices are now probably the highest in the world, except for Gaza...), judicial system, the army, wherever you touch there is total inefficiency and corruption…The war needs to end NOW and all the hostages need to come home NOW!
