Motaz Azaiza just admitted that Gaza’s journalists were all in a Hamas WhatsApp group called SMART—where they “managed the discourse and the narrative.”
Journalists coordinating the narrative with Hamas should be a massive international scandal.
Instead, there’s not a word.
@StopAntisemites@kslewis55@KPMG@KPMG Are her remarks in line with your Code of Conduct? How do you think your largest corporate clients would feel about doing business with a consulting & accounting firm that condones remarks such as these?
@NYTimesPR That is the lamest, most opaque, insincere retraction non-apology ever issued. And have the balls to post it from the main @nytimes account. Loser.
@MoeGuven11@StandWithUs Hamas said that 80% of the 73,000 were combatants, and the UN themselves published that there was not a famine. And you’re Turkish? Maybe save some of your genocide lectures for your own country…
@yairtwi What is an assault cell? And you raise an excellent point. Israel can still be the ‘most moral army in the world’ without having to be that by a factor of 10x.
This is not a scene from a movie. This is October 7.
This is 4-year-old Negev and his six-month-old brother, Eshel.
The terrorists rocking Eshel in the stroller and holding Negev by the hand had just murdered their mother, Adi.
Negev later said:
"Bad people came into our house with drills and drilled through the whole house. They wanted to drill Eshel, but Mom wouldn’t let them. She told us to remember that she loved us more than anything in the world. And then she left."
The terrorists placed grenades around Adi’s body and left her as bait inside one of the rooms. They tied another grenade to the door handle, so whoever came looking for her would be killed too.
Then they filmed a propaganda video to show how "good" they were. They gave wounded Negev water and filmed him saying thank you in Arabic.
They had just murdered his mother in front of him.
Imagine that.
Moments later, they took Negev and Eshel to a neighbor’s house. From there, the terrorists kidnapped all three and headed toward Gaza.
On the way, Eshel cried nonstop. His crying bothered the terrorists, who thought he would become a problem later on, so they left all three by the side of the road and continued toward Gaza.
They walked back to Kibbutz Holit and survived.
The truth cannot be erased.
Don't you dare forget.
@AkaLazarus I thought it made October 7th seem much less barbaric than it was. But the season did bring to light how emotionally traumatizing it has been for Israelis, and understandably so.
