.@GeoConfirmed writes Al Jazeera is spreading disinformation regarding the mass grave at Nasser Hospital. So let's take a closer look. According to @GeoConfirmed, the same mass grave was dug by Palestinians on January 25th and GeoConfirmed points to a Telegram video by Ahmad Al Louh
However, the video shows individual graves at a cemetery-like distance along the palm trees SW of the road. t.me/Ahaamd1985/187…

A video snippet in the Oscar-winning documentary "20 Days in Mariupol" shows a child's anorak blowing in a tree.
@TomatkaP points out that the same image was shown 8 years ago in a video about the children of Donbass. The video in question is from December 2015 to the music "Игрушки" by Артём Гришанов. Cool song imo.

The slightly longer original "Toys for Poroshenko" video is a period document worth seeing and can be found here:

I can't believe this is real either.
And there is a reason for that.
Sarah Cohen-Fantl's Tel Aviv based German language pro-Israel agitprop account re-tweeted a New Yorker's tweet that rightly shocked her. Image Although she says that every innocent dead child hurts her equally, this has not led her to make any discernible criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza. But the tweet, which shocked her five months after the massacre began, reflects an argument from Netanyahu's right-wing... Image

A few days ago, Israel published the personal details of those UNRWA employees accused of being actively involved in October 7th, including Naami. WaPo wrote an article about their investigation that sounds like forensic analysis, but still seems strange.
Image
Image
The accusation is based on one of two videos from the gate of Kibbutz Be'eri that Israel released immediately after October 7th. There are around 2.5 hours missing between the videos. Here is the first taken at 7 am:

An impressive feature of the Hamas Intelligence Center is that there is no underground computer workstation. The only identifiable devices are a PC with a floppy drive and a Cisco 800 ISDN router from 2003...

...an empty CDR spindle and completely rusted keys in the "cleared out" safe. Is it possible that this safe was cleared out before 2005 during the age of floppy disks and ISDN?

UPDATE
More evidence came to light. Here it is: Image It turns out that the journalists were shown a map before their tunnel tour. This map was more detailed but just as wrong.
According to this map, the IDF would have actually pushed the pipe right through the ceiling of the battery room.

in an elaborate campaign, the IDF presented its evidence that a HAMAS data center was found just below UNRWA HQ in Gaza City. They released a series of videos, and the Israeli Foreign Ministry wished good luck refuting this unbeatable evidence. Image After the UNRWA HQ has been besieged for weeks, this new discovery is indeed somewhat surprising, especially since plenty of time has passed to prepare everything thoroughly.
Finally, the IDF organized a tour for selected journalists to UNRWA HQ (31.512505° 34.444301°).

#UNRWA is responding to unsubstantiated allegations by Shin Bet and Israel's military intel with suspensions, condemnation and investigations.

Israel strategists are already turning phrases like "accused of" and "alleged" into an admission of guilt. But wait...
Image Shin Bet had historical links to the Zionist paramilitary groups that operated prior to Israel’s creation. It is infamous for the torture and killing of Palestinian detainees. The UN Committee Against Torture has condemned Shin Bet for its use of violent interrogation tactics. Image

The drone video that Dr. Galit Rajuan presented before the #ICJ as evidence that Hamas is using hospitals, schools and mosques for military purposes shows all the hallmarks of a professional forgery. Image The video, which was not shown in full, shows three apparent rocket launches
1) a hospital 31.537762° 34.478783°
2) a school 31.538785° 31.538785°

Reason enough to take a closer look at her 4-minute evidence cascade. 1: A house in which all the windows have already been destroyed, a room in which rubble lies on the floor, a fighter is lying on the floor with a weapon. Is he defending an area that has already been depopulated and destroyed or is he just endangering the civilian population? Image

The circumstances of Gal Abdush's death raise very serious questions indeed. The first question is the time of death because, according to countless witness accounts, no one actually escaped the NOVA site to the north after 6:00. Witnesses who claim to have been among the first cars had to return to the NOVA compound because Be'eri was already blocked by Hamas. However, Gal Abdoush's car was found 9 miles north of the festival site and was said to have come from the festival.

What kind of strange tunnel system is this? The manufacturer's stickers haven't even been removed from the doors since they were installed, the ceiling suspension is rusted, there's no sign of life anywhere and Israel comes with a bulldozer to accurately open the entrances.

Unfinished installations, hanging cables... In my view, everything suggests that it was Israel that closed the entrances when they withdrew from Gaza in 2005. And since then, apparently no one has entered these tunnels, let alone used them.

Al Ahli Arab Hospital bombing

The story of a failed or intercepted Hamas rocket that destroyed the hospital is most likely a fabrication even if the videos appear to be authentic. Image According to the Israeli military's story, Hamas launched a number of rockets southwest of the hospital, which then flew over the hospital. One rocket allegedly failed and fell on the hospital.

Attempt of a reconstruction of the timeline of the events at the #nova_festival
First, note that the music was planned to play non-stop. In the videos from the morning the music has already stopped. That means the organizers understood that something was going on. Image Early videos were taken prior to sunrise at about 6:30. At this time the visitors were quiet, the organizers made announcements, in the distance you could see rockets rising and the little clouds, which probably came from the Iron Dome defense. Image
