Israel’s New Tactic to Distort Gaza Events: Denying Systematic Genocide
The English section of webangah News agency, citing Al Mayadeen, reports that alongside Tel Aviv’s war machinery and the genocide underway in Gaza, the Israeli propaganda apparatus has intensified efforts to justify and distort the horrific realities caused by these humanitarian disasters. In this context, the israeli publication 972+ examined the propaganda tactics used to manipulate truths about Gaza.
According to this report, despite an endless flood of images and videos showing civilian massacres, starving children, and completely destroyed neighborhoods in Gaza, Zionism either dismisses all such evidence as fake or attempts to create the impression that Gazans deserve their suffering. The source adds: “Denial of atrocities is a global phenomenon, but Israelis have turned it into an art form.”
Alex Jones, an American far-right media personality known for promoting denial narratives and a longtime ally of Donald Trump, claimed in 2012 that the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting-which left 20 students and six adults dead-was staged. Despite overwhelming proof otherwise,Jones insisted all footage involving grieving parents and victims was fabricated as part of a democratic plot aimed at undermining Americans’ right to bear arms.
This discourse had already permeated Israeli society before October 7 through internet channels and official forums under the term “Pallywood.” according to this term’s usage there is a claim that images displaying Palestinian suffering are entirely fabricated parts of an elaborate film industry-a vast conspiracy involving Palestinians themselves along with human rights organizations and international media fabricating crimes.
In earlier phases denying such atrocities involved complex claims often centered around staged acts. Many still recall Mohammad al-Durrah’s case-the 12-year-old boy martyred in Gaza in September 2000 whose death became symbolic during the Second Intifada. The Israeli regime and its supporters invested significant resources undermining filmed evidence through hours upon hours of analysis, reports, and documentaries.
Prime Minister Netanyahu echoed similar logic by referring to an alleged “illusionary humanitarian crisis” supposedly caused by staged or manipulated footage released by Hamas. Gideon Sa’ar-Israel’s Foreign Minister-labeled images showing emaciated Palestinian children as “virtual reality,” citing healthy adults appearing beside them as supposed proof against claims of famine. The Israeli military further alleges Hamas uses Yemeni children’s photos or AI-fabricated images designed to simulate starvation conditions in Gaza.
Israeli Culture Minister Amichai Eliyahu similarly denies any famine exists within Gaza. Making absurd statements he says: “When you are shown pictures of hungry children look closely-you will always find one chubby child nearby who eats well. this is a planned campaign!”
aware his outright denials no longer hold sway domestically or internationally regarding these crimes’ total negation, Eliyahu has shifted toward justifying Israel’s inhumane policies toward Gazans: “No nation feeds its enemies; have we gone mad? When hostages return there will be no more hunger; when Hamas terrorists are eliminated there will be no more hunger.”
After decades denying what they called “the Nakba” or even banning use of this term altogether Arab-Israeli legislators now proudly declare Tel Aviv is executing what they call “the second Nakba” in Gaza today.Currently israeli soldiers themselves record human rights violations inside Gaza with their own cameras then upload such footage on social media platforms.
Zionists now have moved beyond simple denial tactics toward intentional distortion strategies whereby they acknowledge famine is occurring yet shift blame onto Hamas or frame starvation as an unfortunate outcome rather than direct obligation stemming from military actions by Israel’s forces.
This new distortion approach seemingly benefits from some passive international stances that recognize hunger crises but refuse acknowledging involvement by Israeli soldiers or warplanes causing blockade-driven famine conditions amid ongoing conflict inside Gaza.
