Israel is executing an online influence campaign using hundreds of fake social media accounts to advance “Israeli interests” among progressive western audiences, including US lawmakers, Haaretz reported on 19 March, citing an investigation by Israeli media watchdog group Fake Reporter.

      Why wouldn’t I like AP? Seems you have some preconceived notions.

      I think I see what’s going on- you don’t know there’s a difference between “evidence” and “reasonable grounds to believe”.

      But yes, I had seen this article. The thing is, if someone has been caught lying about something several times, they start to lose credibility right?

      At Kibbutz Be’eri, Patten said, her team “was able to determine that at least two allegations of sexual violence widely repeated in the media, were unfounded due to either new superseding information or inconsistency in the facts gathered.”

      These included a highly publicized allegation that a pregnant woman’s womb was reportedly ripped open before being killed with her fetus stabbed inside her, Patten said.

      Another was “the interpretation initially made of the body of a girl found separated from the rest of her family, naked from the waist down,” she said. “It was determined by the mission team that the crime scene had been altered by a bomb squad and the bodies moved, explaining the separation of the body of the girl from the rest of her family.”

      Especially the bomb squad moving the girl and then making allegations of rape. Did the bomb squad rape her? Did they undress her from the waist down after she was killed? There are reasonable grounds to believe that, but there is no evidence.

      You should really look into ZAKA and it’s debunked allegations.

      Remember when Hamas beheaded 40 babies? Even Biden said so. The death toll on Oct. 7 included 36 children, so there aren’t even reasonable grounds to believe that, let alone evidence. Plus an Israeli tank killed 2 children in Kibbutz Be’eri on Oct 7, so the numbers just don’t add up. This is actually evidence of lying.

        Without performing the proper medical tests in a timely manner evidence outside of people visually seeing it and victims saying it is all you can acquire.

        I asked about AP because I just assumed everyone distrusts different sources. AP I have found to be usually pretty good so I chose them to link. If you didn’t care for them I figured we could find another source you may find more trustworthy. I’ll look more into your links later, but yes there were many lies about Oct 7th when it first occurred.
