Israel has been relentlessly casting Al-Shifa as a HAMAS command center for months before the ground war even began. A look back at five months of failed Al-Shifa propaganda.
The IDF’s Twitter account today posted a video declaring: “Hamas terrorist funds found inside Shifa Hospital. Along with the funds themselves were notes thanking the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists for their ‘good work’.” The only problem with this latest piece of failed IDF propaganda was that the video attached to the tweet shows the exact opposite.
Israel—and its supporters—regularly claim that Palestinians lie about how many Palestinians have been killed and injured as a result of Israeli violence. Experts who watch the statistics closely, disagree.
At dawn, 4:30am on 29 February 2024, a convoy of food aid trucks arrived southwest of Gaza City where people had congregated at the Nabulsi Roundabout on Harun Al-Rashid Street. They were instantly surrounded by desperate Palestinians, who began unloading aid from the trucks. Israeli tanks and snipers opened fire on the crowd, killing at least 112 people and injuring another 750.
On 19 February 2024, the UN raised the alarm about widespread, ongoing human rights violations against Palestinian women & girls, including allegations of rape in detention.
Two days later, on 21 February 2024, the Association of Rape Crisis Centers in Israel (ARCCI) released a 39-page report titled, “Sexual Crimes in the October 7 War”, accusing HAMAS of a systematic rape plan during Operation Al-Aqsa Flood primarily relying on recycled, already-published and widely debunked propaganda.
The urgency of the UN press release to raise the alarm about violations of Palestinian women and girls—including credible extrajudicial killings—is that violations are ONGOING, not a historical event that took place 5 months ago. Israel’s distraction from ongoing human rights violations is dangerous to Palestinian women and girls.
This latest journalism catastrophe by the Jerusalem Post is comparable to that time it reported on 1 December 2023, with a straight face, that a dead Gazan baby was in fact a ‘rubber doll’ and that video of the devastated relatives holding her corpse was a “Pallywood” production, Israel’s favorite phrase to delegitimize vile things it actually did by claiming visual evidence is just a Palestinian studio video production.
