A year After October 7: Israel-Palestine war: How unverified reports of Hamas 'beheading babies' filled front pages (Published date: 11 October 2023 19:00 BST | Last update: 12 months 23 hours ago )

Newspaper headlines in the UK on Wednesday were dominated by reports of a massacre committed by Hamas fighters at a kibbutz in southern Israel in which the attackers were widely alleged to have beheaded babies.

But the reports – which a number of newspapers themselves acknowledged were unverified and which have been disputed and denounced by other journalists – have led to complaints that the publications could have been reporting “fake news”, “acting as a proxy for Israeli propaganda” and stoking Islamophobia.

Concerns about the accuracy of details in the stories were raised by Francesca Albanese, the United Nations’ special rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories, who called for journalists to show caution in their reporting.

“Divulging unverified information risks to escalate tensions & endanger lives in a volative [volatile] context,” Albanese wrote on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.

It took almost months for the western media to retract the lies they spread, no apologies were made. They just moved on to broadcast new lies and cover up new atrocities.

But the lies are still there and the ones exposing them don't get republished:

'It smells of death here': Surveying the scenes of atrocities in Kfar Aza - i24NEWS

No one could expect the horrors seen by the Israeli first responders, of about at least 40 babies being taken out on gurneys, some with heads chopped off - Click the link for more details.

From Hezbollah's unofficial telegram channel: In the past few days, when the enemy army of Israel announced the beginning of its ground operation towards the villages of southern Lebanon, we counted the death of more than 25 officers and soldiers from the elite of the enemy and the wounding of more than 130 people.

The enemy admitted to some of these numbers and in the coming days he will reveal what he has been hiding from his audience.

Al Jazeera gilt ja nicht unbedingt als eine neutrale Quelle. Aber ich finde, man sollte sehen, was da unten passiert. Und nein, es ist keine Rechtfertigung für die Taten der Gegenseite. Aber wenn man die grinsenden Gesichter der IDF-Soldaten sieht, während sie Kriegsverbrechen begehen, dann kann einem schon schlecht werden. #Israel #Gaza #IDF

The IDF announces that it is carrying out a wave of airstrikes against #Hezbullah in the coastal city of #Tyre. The attacks already took place before the announcement.

He was no Navalny and didn't die in Russia, he died after months of mistreatment and barbaric torture, which is perfectly OK by the "Civilized West" and defenders of "Human Rights" in #Europe, #US, #Canada and #Australia and others.

His murder didn't even make the news in most places and no one will ever know his name.

Because his murderers are "god chosen people" and "children of light" who are defending "western values".

Now shut up and watch the circus of US election and clap for EU sending an investigative team to Ukraine to fact check Russian alleged war crimes. After all those are white christian victims not like this man who was from the wrong religion and skin color.

From yesterday, every Israeli who served or is part of IDG, every reservist living in Israel and abroad are "legitimate" targets of anyone fighting against Israel.

Israel opened a can of worms that will have unimaginable consequences in the future.

Ans be sure that every retaliation will be called for terrorist attackeand antisemitic attack.

The world is just so fucked uo that it can only get worse from here on.

Explosions across Lebanon in second day of attacks

At least 14 people were killed and over 450 injured in a second day of explosions across Lebanon.

Their fake disagreement was for the show as always.

These monsters are united in setting up the whole region and the world on fire.

And of course #GenocideJoe and the #EU are making sure they have the means and the funding to do so.

I have said it before, but I just can't understand what power Israel haa over all the countries in the world to let them get away with anything they want.

It's just hard for me to understand. But I guess the white people's solidarity is stronger than anything I could have imagined.

As Israel continues its downward spiral towards authoritarianism, sponsored in part by the US administration under President Biden, it has taken another step in the wrong direction, a budding army of #mercenaries.

The #IDF has been recruiting #African asylum seekers to perform life-threatening tasks in the #Gaza Strip in exchange for permanent residency. This practice is a form of exploitation and extortion, similar to Russia's #WagnerGroup, where prisoners are used as mercenaries. The IDF has also been using Palestinian civilians as human shields, which is a war crime prohibited by international law. A "despicable low" in Israel's behavior during the Gaza war.

Recruiting African #Asylum Seekers for Gaza War Is New Despicable Low haaretz.co.il/opinions/editori… or archive.ph/2zXbu (in Hebrew)

Interestingly, the Haaretz's Hebrew edition correctly titled this editorial: Local Wagner Group: The "most moral army in the world" extorts asylum seekers with threats.

CIA chief: The new Gaza ceasefire plan will be presented in more detail in the coming days

It's finally time to make some hard choices and some difficult compromises.

Who does he thinkwhe is fooling?

This disgusting shit show pretending that they are interested in "ceasefire" while they are the ones keeping Israeli war machine running with unlimited supply of weapons and massive military support.

They honestly think the world is just stupid and believe that Israel will stop their ongoing genocide when Hamas releases the kidnapped Israelise?

They want us to ignore everything Israeli leaders saying and doing and "trust" these disgusting criminals and professional liars?

They don't even have the courage to condemn the cold blooded murder of an American citizen, how the hell would anyone think they give a rats aas about the 2 million Palestinian hostages in Gaza?

If NYT wasn't propaganda front of IDF in US.

I bet the headline would have been very very different if an American was killed by Iranian police during peaceful protests.

But hey, I'm just an Israeli hater who have no western values and should go back where I came from (that is exactly what a swedish guy told me when I pointed out hypocrisy of Swedish media covering the murder of American peace activist in Occupied west bank).

The liberal, leftist media coverage of cold blooded murder of American activist by Israeli sniper.

Well, at least they are reporting it, not like the case of all the innocent Palestinians murdered by Israel and completely ignored by western #media.

#WestBank #IDF #Murder #palestine #Israel #Occupation #Apartheid #Politics

Once again, repeating the lies of IDF by covering the criminal murder of an unarmed peace activist shot in the head by an Israeli #sniper.

The disgusting level of hypocrisy is just truly sickening.

Just 2 days after they called #IDF soldier held in captivity and killed by IDF bombings for American hero, they don't even want to admit that she was a human shield against #JewishISIS terrorizing #Palestinians in occupied #westbank.

I'm sure, they "investigate" and at best, admit that "mistake was made" and give the #sniper 10 days paid vacation to go to Dubai.

'Our lives are more important than their lives': Gazans not suspected of terrorism are detained and sent as human shields to search tunnels and houses before IDF soldiers enter, with the full knowledge of senior Israeli officers, several sources say; IDF claims this practice is forbidden

She was there to prevent militant settlers attacking and burning Palestinian homes and agriculture. She was shot in the head by Israeli soldiers protecting the settlers

Turkish American peace activist was murdered in cold blood by IDF with a shot on the head.

Do not expect Biden, Blinken or WH press secretary calling her an American hero and her murderers for barbarians and calling for sanctions of IDF for their criminal actions in occupied West Bank.

Not all Americans are treated equally. She didn't go there to kill Palestinian children. So her death will not be called "heroic" and the murderers to be held accountable.
