Tiangou, great post. Thanks!
No.
The nationalized press in Israel is using disinformation to push a false narrative that distracts from the recent International Criminal Court decision against them.
They do this sort of thing a LOT.
Remember just a few weeks ago when they got news agencies around the world reporting on a hate-filled crime spree against Jews in Amsterdam when it turned out that Maccabi soccer hooligans were the provocateurs, rioting and attacking Muslims? The world was denouncing the violent antisemitism when in fact it was primarily the Muslims who were the victims and the Jews screaming calls for genocide.
Because almost every news outlet ran with the message that it was the Maccabi fans who were the victims of antisemitic assaults, and most didn't bother to pull their stories when it turned out that they were mislead by a massive propaganda machine, a reader doing a basic Google search or doom-scrolling through TwitterX will see story after story about antisemitic violence.
It feeds a narrative that Bibi can use to justify any horror his government inflicts in the territories or Lebanon.
This is how modern propaganda works.
Learn how to read for the facts, not the narrative.
