Marc Owen Jones – The Daily Beast Nov 15, 2023
Israel’s official Arabic account affiliated with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs posted a selfie video of a Palestinian nurse condemning Hamas for taking over al-Shifa hospital in the Gaza Strip on Nov. 11.
But some things about the video didn’t add up.
Everything about it smacked of high school theater—from the botched accent that sounded like it was straight out of an Israeli soap opera to the perfectly scripted IDF talking points rolling off her tongue.
Hamas were stealing the fuel. Check.
Hamas were taking morphine. Check.
Then there was the pristine white lab coat looking like it had just come back from the dry cleaner, the audio track of bombs falling that sounded like samples from a late-’80s Casio keyboard, and the contrived stethoscope-waving you‘d expect from an extra on Grey’s Anatomy.Hamas hadn’t stolen her makeup though, which was immaculate.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health logo slapped strategically in the background but visible over her shoulder looked like an OSINT honeytrap.
“This video must be authentic right, I can see the Health Ministry logo”—at least that’s what whoever made it would hope the burgeoning army of sketchy anonymous OSINT (open source intelligence) researchers might say.
The only thing missing was a degree hanging in the background saying Tel Aviv Upstairs Medical College.
Oh, and perhaps I should have mentioned this first, no one at al-Shifa had ever seen the nurse before.
Soon, the volume of ridicule directed at those sharing it reached such a pitch that the Israel Arabic account deleted their tweet. I guess they didn’t know the source either.
Forget Nurse Ratched, this was more like Nurse Hatchet-job.
It Gets Worse
If only it stopped there. But the IDF appear to be engaged in an internal competition to see who among them can drop the biggest disinfo bomb.
On Nov. 13, Daniel Hagari, the IDF’s spokesperson, appeared in a video. There were no nurses this time, but Hagari looked like he was standing in a nursery. Murals painted by children adorned the walls, and he pointed to a baby’s bottle and a bag of diapers.
Hagari claimed that he was standing in the basement of al-Rantisi Hospital in Gaza. He also claimed that this is where Hamas was keeping hostages. Among his evidence for this claim, a jerry-rigged toilet, and a pair of curtains covering not a window, but a wall.
Why have curtains in a basement right?
But he saves his most damning evidence for last, pointing to a piece of paper stuck to the wall. On the paper is Arabic writing. With mounting indignation, Hagari offered his translation: “This is a guardian list, where every terrorist writes his name, and every terrorist has his own shift, guarding the people that were here.”
The only thing is: It wasn’t a list of names; it was a list of days of the week.
Why Lie?
These disinfo whoppers aren’t anomalies, but rather a series of increasingly desperate attempts to try and justify the growing number of civilians killed in Gaza in response to the horrific Hamas attack on Oct. 7. Even Israel, which has enjoyed broad support from most Western allies, and particularly the U.S., is aware that President Joe Biden is under more and more pressure to push Israel for an end to the killing.
Yet this desperation is evident in a seemingly unstemmable tide of preposterous claims. Even the tactics appear to be shifting.
Israel’s usual strategy has been to try and claim Palestinians are exaggerating or making up their casualties—the so-called ‘Pallywood’ tactic. On Oct. 14, for example, the MFA-run Israel account claimed that Palestinians were trying to pass off a doll as a dead Palestinian child.
This was false. The boy, 4-year-old Omar Bilal al-Banna, was killed by an Israeli airstrike. He was real, not a fake nurse with a stethoscope.
As the war has progressed, the so-called ‘crisis actors’ trope has become harder to defend with the undeniable evidence of mass civilian atrocities.
This partly explains why Israel seems to be ramping up its disinformation.
But it also might explain why the disinformation is getting more sinister. On Nov. 12 the IDF claimed to have found an annotated and pristine copy of Mein Kampf in a child’s bedroom in Gaza. This came shortly after the Israel account also posted a cartoon showing how Israel brings up its babies with love while Gazans are brought up on hate.
All this on the back of Netanyahu’s now-infamous deleted tweet, where he stated that the current war was one between “the children of light and the children of darkness.”
A worrying aspect of though is how it seeks to dehumanize Palestinian children. After all, if you can’t deny killing them, maybe try and portray them as children worth killing.
In Israel’s increasingly desperate disinformation, we can see the foundations of a disturbing campaign attempting to try and justify or legitimize an impossible-to-justify statistic—that of the over 11,000 civilians killed in Gaza since Oct. 7, according to the Ministry of Health, over 4,500 are children.
UK POLITICIANS – SEXUAL MISCONDUCT
What do 60 top British politicians have in common?
At the most recent count, “almost 60 members of parliament were facing claims of sexual misconduct”
“Many of those complaints were made by much younger people, few of whom would be saying it was consensual.
“Yet our nation’s seat of government remains a black box on this front, and we don’t know what happened to most of those investigations.
“Plenty of the alleged victims remain currently in limbo, and without faith that anything will ever be done.”
Or like Carl Beech sent to prison for ” lying”
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/may/30/mps-this-morning-parliament-daytime-tv
In the U.K. there are 650 members of parliament (MPs)
Therefore, 9% of British MPs are facing claims of sexual misconduct.
Almost one in ten.
(Unknown is how many *more* MPs — that is, over and above the 9% cited — have committed sexual ‘misconduct’ but aren’t included in these statistics and aren’t being investigated because the victim is a minor too young to report what happened;
or as in the Greville Janner cases threatened to stay silent
or has been threatened/is too terrified/traumatised; is in witness protection/has assumed a new identity;
or is hospitalised, dead, or otherwise not in a position to lodge a complaint.)
Then there are the members of the UK’s upper house, the House of Lords.
Lord Peter Mandelson, a disgusting longtime close friend and business associate of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, has been the subject of allegations made to the late psychiatrist Dr Joan Coleman, on ” boy-nobbing” and blackmail for israel

If any Twitter user has been directly impacted by Mandelson’s misconduct and/or negligence re Epstein/Ghislaine/TerraMar/Lambeth Council/NSPCC/Kevin Spacey/Old Vic/Greville Janner/Dr Coleman, now is the time to contact the House of Lords!
Yes well… the ‘jewes’ are before all spiritually informed by the comically bad dis-info contained in their ‘tanakh’ (torah to you newer lesser ‘jewes’)..which of course commands them to slaughter children… (it actually exhorts them to slaughter anything that lives)..
Perhaps the churchian so called christians should take not… when next they open..
“The Good Book”…
all jewass licking medias talking about “horrific
Hamas 7th okt attack” ignore that IDF inflicted
most casualties among their israeli hostages with
heavy IDF weaponry while the Hamas had only
light AK arms + had no time for violating women .
You all will find this very interesting, Scott Ritter on Hamas and the Abraham Accords:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MnwX49UDiM
Interesting, Ritter says (pro-Zionist) Trump’s Abraham Accords which cut out any chance of Palestinian State was the motivation for the Hamas attack.
So Trump and Kushner are responsible for this bloodletting – those twin bastards tried to screw the Palestinians.
https://www.vox.com/2021/5/13/22434142/israel-gaza-hamas-war-trump-biden-abraham-accords
“Trump brokered normalization-of-relations deals between Israel and four Arab nations: the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco. Those pacts, known as the Abraham Accords, served two main purposes.
The first was straightforward: They allowed Israel to engage openly and officially with countries that refused to recognize its existence for years. That historic development received bipartisan support in the US, and many today want Biden to build upon the foundation Trump left him.
The second was more nuanced. Many of those and other Arab nations, like Saudi Arabia, are key backers of Palestinians in their decades-long dispute with Israel. But by getting them to interact with Israel, the idea was that they might let their support for the Palestinians slip and side a little closer with the Israelis.
If that happened, the theory went, Palestinian leaders would have no choice but to negotiate a peace deal with Israel. Jared Kushner, the main architect of the accords during the Trump years, has remained confident this might happen.”
When your cult controls the world, you can do & get away with anything.
The next tweet video the world needs to see is that fake nurse being strangled with that prop stethoscope, the camera guy getting the camera forced up his poop-chute, and the director beaten into a coma with claw hammers and tire irons. And then a good panoramic shot of Israhell being bombed into a smouldering crater and 4K footage of Satanyahu and every other demon in his coalition incinerated.
‘comically’ bad – unless you’re in their murderous path. Not so funny, then
Too bad the “PR War” doesn’t result in anything concrete.
What a waste of time, and what a worthless bunch of subjugated cowards the world has become.
