Israel lies pathologically!
A🧵of dozens of conclusively debunked Israeli gov lies since Oct 7, off the top of my head

1- The IDF blatantly claimed this underground WATER TANK was a "Hamas tunnel" their ground troops discovered at the Qatari hospital in Gaza on Nov 5 2023

Mainstream media put it in headlines immediately despite experts challenging this lie with detailed maps of the room

In February, local journalists were finally able to access the area & debunk the lie

The IDF knew exactly what this shaft was back in Nov b/c their troops inspected it on the ground, but they lied deliberately to pave the way for raiding, besieging, bombing, & destroying almost every single hospital in Gaza

2\ Bombing fleeing refugees: Israel bombed a convoy of Gazans fleeing south on the very "safe road" they ordered to go through, killing over 70 on Oct 13.

Israel immediately denied bombing the convoy & said it was Hamas.

Financial Times found Israel was lying.
The damage was consist with an Israeli airstrike!

3\ In Nov, Israel lied (again) about Palestinian detainee Mohammed Nazal who was mercilessly beaten & tortured by Israeli prison guards for no reason until they broke his arms & denied him medical treatment.

BBC confirmed with 2 UK doctors that his arms were indeed broken.

4\ In Nov, CNN mindlessly platformed a blatant IDF claim that a calendar showing the days of the week at the Rantisi children's hospital was “a guarding list where every terrorist writes his name & every terrorist has his own shift guarding the people that were here.”

CNN quietly deleted that embarrassing clip without any apology

5\ Fake Nurse: in Nov, Israel's gov posted this "nurse from al-Shifa hospital in Gaza" that claimed in the thickest Israeli accent ever that Hamas has taken over the hospital & is stealing fuel, medicine & anesthetics from patients & children.

France24 reported it was a "staged crisis acting" & the explosions were fake after Palestinians debunked it thoroughly.

6\ Shifa hospital CGI: the IDF released this ultimate "trust me bro" cartoon video claiming it showed a sprawling tunnel city under Gaza's biggest hospital.

Mainstream media (NYT, CNN...) mindlessly repeated the claim.

No "tunnel city" was found despited the IDF raiding, destroying & burning down the hospital twice.

Only one alleged abandoned tunnel with rusty tiles 2 dust-coated beds, a bathroom, kitchen & pair of metal cots was found that the Associated Press wasn't convinced it was evidence of anything.

7\ In Oct, Israel's gov was claiming dead children in Gaza were "plastic dolls"

That child was quickly identified as Omar al-Banna, slaughtered in an Israeli airstrike.

That didn't stop Israel's gov from continuing to claim dead Gaza children were "fake" or "staged" or "dolls"!

8\ After nothing substantial was found at al-Shifa, Israel insisted Hamas' long-promised headquarters, top leaders & the hostages were all in Khan Younis.

The IDF invaded & occupied Khan Younis for over 120 days, turned into a wasteland, couldn't find a thing & left!

9\ In Oct, Israel bombed Gaza & Lebanon with U.S.-supplied white phosphorus, then denied ever using that white phosphorus, despite clear videos showing them using white phosphorus.

It took mainstream media 2 months to catch up & report it was indeed another Israeli lie!

10\ In Jan, Israel destroyed an entire graveyard in Khan Younis, mutilated & desecrated bodies of the dead, some of whom were flattened by tanks or hacked into pieces

Israel claimed there was a Hamas tunnel underneath, but showed ZERO evidence for it that even CNN called it out!

This was the 16th cemetery destroyed by the IDF in Gaza!

11\ In Nov, the *IDF spokesman* arranged an interview for an IDF officer who claimed Hamas hanged dead babies on laundry lines on Oct 7.

The lie was so egregious but the journalist reported it b/c it was the IDF spokesman that arranged the interview.

It was debunked along with other atrocity propaganda pushed by Israel's gov like the beheaded babies, disembowelled pregnant women, baby in an oven...

12\ In Dec, Israel claimed those were Hamas elite "Nukhba" militants "surrendering" en masse with one of them handing over his weapon.

Only problem is that he "handed over his weapon" 3 times! The video was staged & the man was identified as Munir Qeshta al-Masry, a small business owner of an aluminium workshop in Beit Lahia. NEVER a Hamas member.

13\ In March, after bragging about bombing a "Hamas terrorist with an RPG" & being challenged on this lie, Israel quietly admitted those were 2 starved Gazan civilians one with a bike & the other with a bag of flour.

14\ After months of Israeli insisting that Gaza's starvation was b/c of "Hamas stealing aid", the US special envoy for Middle East humanitarian issues admitted Israel NEVER provided a SINGLE evidence of Hamas stealing or diverting the UN aid in Gaza, including fuel.

David Satterfield added that Israel is bombing & killing the policemen protecting UN aid convoys.

15\ The flour massacre: Israel slaughtered over 100 starved Gazans awaiting aid trucks & wounded over 700 On Feb 29, then claimed they had nothing to do with these deaths & it was a stampede.

CNN found the IDF used machine guns that fired 600 rounds per minute at the crowds!

16\ UNRWA: In Jan, Israel claims 12 UNRWA workers took part in Oct 7 & that thousands of UNRWA staff are Hamas & PIJ members.

Four months later, ZERO evidence is presented by Israel to support this.

Israel killed over 170 UNRWA workers!

17\ The IDF also went after the @PalestineRCS & claimed they took part in Oct 7.

The video the IDF provided was quickly debunked & the paramedics appearing in it were shown to be part of Hamas' "military medical service"

18\ In Jan, Israel assassinated Wael al-Dahdouh's eldest son & journalist Hamza in Rafah & claimed he was a PIJ militant filming IDF troops with a drone.

Washington Post found that Israel lied again & Hamza only filmed a destroyed building & were unaware of any IDF troops in the area
washingtonpost.com/world/2024/03/…

19\ The Washington Post recently found that Israel LIED about killing Hind (6) & her relatives in a car then bombing an ambulance that came to rescue the girl with Israel's prior approval.

Israel said they were NOT even in that area at all & didn't kill anyone.

"WashingtonPost investigation found that Israeli armored vehicles were present in the area... & that gunfire audible as Hind & her cousin Layan begged for help, as well as extensive damage caused to the ambulance, are consistent with Israeli weapons"

20\ In Nov, the Israeli Prime Minister's Spokesperson uploads the bloopers of a video clip from Lebanon & claims it shows Palestinians "staging" their death & suffering.

He quietly deleted it after getting busted.

21\ Israel's gov officially claims a Gazan activist, Saleh Aljafarawi, was a "crisis actor" who "faked his injury".

The problem was that those are two different people in two entirely different parts of the occupied Palestinian territories!

22\ Israel's gov posts a deliberately & widely mistranslated video of a Gazan woman who was talking about finding her son that was killed by the IDF & identifying him from his belt. Instead, they claim she said Hamas was taking people as human shields & she prefers Israel!
