I think this is their main propaganda tactic. In order to justify their ongoing genocide of Gaza they need to reframe the situation so that “their side” is the victim. The more barbaric the atrocity they fabricate, the more uncomfortable it is to question the veracity of.

I saw a Zionist the other day on Twitter talking about how a Hamas fighter filmed themselves raping and torturing Shani Louk, then circulated the footage of themselves committing the rape on the internet. She claimed to someone else that she personally saw the video, that Shani Louk’s mom also had to see the footage of her daughter being raped, and then offered to send the video if they doubted that Hamas commit rape so much.

I did a Google search to see if I could find any reports talking about this but I couldn’t find anything. However, there was an article saying that she’s now believed to have died on Oct 7 due to a fragment of her skull being identified. Supposedly the injury was severe enough meaning that her death was almost certain, and that Hamas lied about her being taken to a hospital. The mom was quoted as saying “At least she didn’t suffer” in this article.

I asked this random Zionist person if they could provide a link to a reliable source confirming this footage exists because obviously, I don’t want to watch footage of a rape. They didn’t respond.

The hostages are also being politicised in a similar way. I think it’s clear by now that the Israeli government doesn’t care about the hostages, and that it isn’t what this bombing campaign is about. The Zionists are propagandizing by flyposting “KIDNAPPED” posters with the hostage’s photos on them in North American and European countries. The posters obviously won’t do anything to secure the release of the hostages, it is only about manufacturing consent for the bombing. Yet if you remove these posters you will get attacked.
