Probably you have seen many verified Israeli Hasbara accounts. But one in particular caught my attention. She is called CherylWroteIt(CherylE). She is relatively popular with far-right/conservative Israelis with verified check and she likes to post really long threads here🧵1/n
From her Substack and Tweets she has said she is 37, a mother of two living in Haifa(North Israel), dual American-Israeli citizen and apparently was a special forces sniper in IDF. 2/n cherylwroteit.substack.com/p/dear-mr-pres…
Image
Her anger with the Palestinians mainly stems from the fact that she apparently was a survivor of the Maxim restaurant bombing that occurred in Haifa, on October 4th, 2003, losing her parents and sisters in the attack and her wounds rendering her mute 3/n cherylwroteit.substack.com/p/my-war


From her Substack but without the date
Her background story
Image
So, a little bit of context here, the Maxim restaurant massacre was a terror attack in which a Palestinian woman from the Islamic Jihad blew herself up on that place located in Haifa. 21 people died, and 60 were injured on that tragic incident. 4/n en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxim_res…
Pay attention to this. If on her latest Substack post, published on April 05 2024, she said she is 37, that means that back then when the attack occurred, she was 16–17-year-old. Again remember this important fact. 5/n cherylwroteit.substack.com/p/dear-mr-pres…

The thing is, that I found many incongruences in her story. If Cheryl can explain those things, I'll delete this. 6/n
On this document from Warwick university is a more detailed description of the victims. Disclosing them properly, 14 males and 7 females died. From those 14 males 11 were adults and 3 children, and from those females, 6 were adults and 1 children. 7/n warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/econom…
The females were Ruth Almog, (70), Bruria Zer-Aviv, (59), Keren Zer-Aviv, (29), Noya Zer-Aviv, (two months), Naomi Biano, (25), Irena Sofrin, (38), Lydia Zilberstein, (56) 8/n
The males were Ze'ev Almog(71), Moshe Almog (43)
Tomer Almog (9), Assaf Staier (11), Bezalel Zer-Aviv(30),Liran Zer-Aviv(4), Nir Regev(25), Zvi Bahat(35), Mark Biano(29), Hana Francis(39), Sharbal Matar(23), Mutanus Karkabi(31), Osama Najar(28), George Matar(58) 9/n
As you can see here, it would be quite easy to see if one of those women, were Cheryl's sisters, or her mother, that she said died that day, since they are few. 10/n
So, let's first check the women one by one. This was done using Google translate to read the Hebrew obituaries of the victims, because there it normally says some of the family these people have left. 11/n
Let's first start with the first woman. Naomi Biano(25). According to her obituary, she is only survived by her parents and her brother.



On the restaurant, she was only with his husband Mark(29).

So, yep, it's not possible that she is Cheryl's mother(Naomi would be 9 when she had Cheryl, so impossible), and Naomi's parents and brother didn't die there. Cheryl said her sisters and her parents(father and mother) died on that day. So, Naomi is discarded. 13/n More detailed description of Naomi's death.
Now, let's go with the second woman. Irena Sofrin(38). This is interesting. According to an online obituary she had two sisters. But looks she was the youngest(the third daughter), so again her profile doesn't match with Cheryl's story.


14/n qbialik.org.il/galed/remembra…

Even if somehow the translator is wrong, her sisters and her parents weren't in that attack or the list of fatalities.




She was with her husband and her sons Diana(12) and Roy(7), which managed to survive. 15/n archive.is/k9zEI
facebook.com/krayotcom/post…
Image
So, it's unlikely Irena it's either Cheryl's sister or mother. Her record does not match as you can appreciate here. 16/n Image
Let's go with the third woman. Lydia Zilberstein(56). Her testimony also doesn't match with Cheryl's story. Her son Ran(32), her husband and daughter in law survived the attack. 17/n



archive.is/JsVUg
inn.co.il/news/62225
Image
Even her obituary confirms that her husband and son survived, and that she had two more daughters, two grandchildren and six brothers and sisters. Quite different from Cheryl's story in which her both parents and sisters were killed. 18/n

zvulun.gal-ed.co.il/Web/He/TerrorV…
Image
Now, let's go with Ruth Almog(71) and the Almog family in general. Ruth was married with Ze'ev Almog(71) and had 3 children. Moshe(43), which was killed in the attack, and other two daughters. Galit(43), gravely wounded on the attack but survived, and Iris(33).(wasn't there) 19/n

Image
Image
Image
As you can see, Orli, Moshe's wife was wounded, and the kids that were killed were male. Assaf(11), Galit's son was also killed, and Adi, the female sister, and youngest, should be 25 by now. Doesn't match with Cheryl's age which she claims is 37.



21/n israelhayom.co.il/article/174655
Image
The other child survivor is Oren, which is male, and should be 34-33 by now. Again. Cheryl's story again doesn't match with Almog's family. Both daughters, Galit, Iris and daughter in law Orli(Oren's mother) survived, and the kids killed were male. 22/n
So that clearly doesn't match Sheryl's story that she lost both parents and sisters. 23/n
Image
Image
24/n Let's go with the 5th female killed that day. Keren Zer-Aviv(29). If she was Cheryl's mother, she should have been 13-12 year old. So it's impossible. And on her obituary it even says that her parents and four siblings survive her. 24/n laad.btl.gov.il/Web/He/TerrorV…
Image
25/n Again. Cheryl's story doesn't match up here. And if we look at her husband, Bezalel(30), and her sons Liran(4) and Noya(2 months old) also killed on the attack, it's clearly that we can discard her. (Noya is the 6th female, 2 months old, doesn't add up)
26/n Now, let's go with the 7th and last female killed in the attack. Bruria Zer-Aviv(59). Killed along his son Bezalel(30). Checking her obituary, 2 daughters survived her. Sophie(28) and Gabi(25).

27/n Also, no sign of sisters, and again, her story and her record doesn't match Cheryl's story that her parents and sisters died on the attack. And we have finished all the females.
28/n Go to posts 7-9 for the reminder of who died that day, so you can refresh on your minds and keep track of this.
29/n And related to the men, we have covered Ze'ev(71), Moshe(43), Tomer(9), Assaf(11), Bezalel(30), Liran(4), and a little bit of Mark(29). We miss half of them. So let's check them fast, but I think covering all women you can see all the plotholes on Cheryl's story.
30/n Quick with Mark Beano(29), he is survived by parents and sister, so again, Cheryl's story doesn't match with him, and all that we mentioned from Naomi.

31/n So now, on males, let's go with the 8th one killed. Zvi Bahat(35). Survived by his wife Tova, 2 children, Inbar(6) and Hadar(3), a sister and his parents

laad.btl.gov.il/Web/He/TerrorV…

Image
Image
32/n Again, nothing that matches Cheryl's story of losing both parents and sisters that day. This looks increasingly suspicious right???
33/n Let's go with the 9th male killed. George Matar(59). His surviving family doesn't match Cheryl's story of both parents and sisters killed. And family was not present in the attack, he was working

zvulun.gal-ed.co.il/Web/He/TerrorV…

Image
Image
34/n Let's go with the 10th male killed. Osama Najar(28), the cook of the restaurant. His wife, daughter, mother and three brothers survive him. No indication he was with his family on that day, he was working. zvulun.gal-ed.co.il/Web/He/TerrorV…
Image
35/n So again, Cheryl's story doesn't match with him(both parents and sisters killed). Th guy didn't had more daughters and didn't had sisters and family not present in the attack.
36/n Let's go with the 11th male killed. Mutanus Karkabi(31), the security guard at Maxim restaurant. His family probably wasn't present on the attack, married with Samar, and no children zvulun.gal-ed.co.il/Web/He/TerrorV…

Image
Image
37/n Again, Cheryl's story doesn't match here(both parents and sisters killed). No children, all siblings alive and not present in the attack because he was working
38/n Let's go with the 12th male killed: Hana Francis(39). Couldn't find obituary, but, he was a worker, so family was not present in the attack. Cheryl's story again doesn't match. Image
39/n 13th male killed. Sharbal Matar(23). This case is quite interesting. He was the cousin of Hana Francis, and he was orphaned by both parents. Mother died from illness 5 years ago, and father died 3 years ago. He was working there to help her sisters.

Image
Image
Image
40/n Again, his story doesn't match Cheryl's(both parents and sisters killed in the attack) and parents didn't died in bombing.

archive.is/aROC5
zvulun.gal-ed.co.il/Web/He/TerrorV…
41/n Finally, 14th male killed and last victim. Nir Regev(25). Survived by parents, brother and sister, so definitely can't be Cheryl's parent or brother. Read the story, he was with a friend eating that day only, not with his family.
Image
Image
42/n Obituaries and info. Also check the ages of his brothers on the image. 30 year old brother and 19 year old sister. Cheryl's story simply doesn't match with him(both sisters and parents killed).

laad.btl.gov.il/Web/He/TerrorV…

43/n But yeah, as you can appreciate, no victim of that attack and their family history matches Cheryl's story. I think she is lying and wasn't at Maxim.
44/n The only thing I think I can get wrong is that on the males killed that day is that there's no info on their brothers and sisters, but still, their stories on what they were doing and surviving family members doesn't match Cheryl's story.
45/n I think she also may be lying on her military service, her military takes are just awful. And if she wasn't on Maxim, she probably is lying on being mute due to the attack.
46/ APPENDIX: The ages of people and their family members are the ages they had on that attack, on that year(2003), I clearly outlined in some cases which is the age they should have now in 2024.
47/n (Also, on Sharbal dead parents, his father died 3 years before the attack, and his mother 5 years before the attack)
48/n When I'm refering that Cheryl is lying on her military service, I think she may only have done her 3 years, but definitely not as a sniper in a special operations unit.
49/n Quick update: I sent a message directly to that account, saying her story didn't match with the obituaries, but giving her the chance to explain herself, and after that I was blocked. She normally doesn't block and likes to reply people with long threads.

Image
Image
Image
50/n I sent her the message directly after she started following me.(I replied in some of her posts with this thread, so she started following me, but then after the message she blocked me.) She is a fake probably, and it's disgusting to fake you are a victim of a terror attack
51/n These Hasbara ziobots don't have any decency and the fact they have to fake stories,(while at the same time calling Pallywood the Palestinian suffering) it's so wrong at many levels, and a total lack of respect to the victims of that tragic attack.
@hoaxvstruths Please help me sharing this to expose this fake Zionist account
@Shrek1391 @alyaaamerr My detective work on one of the most unhinged Hasbara accounts on internet, I would appreciate of you can read this and help me expose her.
