Hamas planned not only the October 7 massacre, but also the propaganda campaign that followed.
Veteran political strategist Warren Kinsella argues the anti-Israel narrative was "an organized, professional-style political campaign."
From the outset, Hamas weaponized propaganda and disinformation to amplify its terrorism, manipulate global opinion, and vilify Israel.

For Maroun, an Israeli Maronite Christian, Israel is home. It's also the place where Christianity began, making his faith part of everyday life.
Catch his full story on our platforms as we continue to go beyond the headlines. 🇮🇱✨
STATEMENT BY AMBASSADOR IDDO MOED:
“Friendship should never be controversial.”
At Calgary Stampede with a 6-person tech delegation, I reconnected with Albertan friends old and new, and saw firsthand the growing strength of the Israel–Alberta partnership.
But it’s unacceptable for hate to creep and fester into a space built on hospitality, undermining the respect and empathy that should define it.
"This is a Canadian issue. In the free world we have to fight for our values as free people, for democracy. This is what this fight is about. It starts with the Jews but never ends with the Jews.”

Morris Shumiatcher, founder of what would become the iconic Smithbilt Hat Company, was a Jewish Calgarian pioneer who created the White Hat. It debuted in the 1946 Calgary Stampede.
It was a special honour to present the White Hat to my friend Ambassador Iddo Moed, a continuum of a tradition founded at the end of WW2 now commemorated with the representative of the modern State of Israel.
My thanks to the organizers and guests at the Israel Tech Shuk, showcasing innovation and boundless potential.
