In the aftermath of Israel’s
latest war crime of bombing the Baptist hospital in Gaza killing over 800
patients, Israeli messaging operatives, alongside mainstream media outlets are
trying to deploy the
four Ds of disinformation, dismiss the critic, distract
from the main issue, distort the facts and dismay the audience.

Not too long ago Israel killed
Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh and first accused Palestinians of
doing it, then finally holding an investigation, then gave in to international
pressure and stated they did it. But as usual, nothing really came out of that
other than the usual condemnations.
If the international community
wants to retain any moral high ground it must act now, demand the satellite
images and make Israel pay for this atrocious war crime.
This is no longer a
Palestinian-Israeli conflict. President Sisi and the Palestinian Authority all
have come out and warned of Israeli plans for displacing Palestinians at the
expense of neighboring countries.
His Majesty, who is usually a
voice for peace and dialogue, has called the hospital attack a war crime. In
his speech in Israel today, President Biden stated that ‘
it seems the other side is responsible’, based on what he saw,
meaning not Israel. (Recall that President Biden also stated he saw evidence of
beheaded babies, which was later retracted by White House team and even the
Israeli military).
Two contrasting statements. A
simple solution if we push aside those four D’s. Release the satellite photos.
Release evidence. Then the world can see. Until then we only have the Israeli
messages to evacuate the hospital, and the initial statement from their
‘Digital Spokesperson’ that Israel targeted the hospital because it harbored
Hamas.
