X has become a hotbed of Zionist disinformation. Ian Miles Cheong (who works for Ezra Levant's Rebel Media) used footage of Israeli police falsely alleging it was Hamas going house to house slaughtering families. Old videos of Palestinian children in cages have been shared falsely claiming to be kidnapped Israeli children. Avi Yemeni (also of Rebel Media) is boosting a video of a man with a child claiming it is a kidnapped Israeli girl without any evidence, using this to justify wiping out Gaza. These videos are reaching millions of people and influencing the conversation in the west. In the run up to the first war in Iraq, we were given fake stories about Iraqis killing Kuwaiti babies in incubators. In the run up to the second war in Iraq, we were given fake stories about weapons of mass destruction. To justify bombing Syria, we were given fake stories of Bashar al-Assad gassing his own people. People are accepting narratives of mass civilian rape and slaughter without any reliable evidence. Anyone who challenges it is accused of defending terrorism - the same crybully tactic that was used against anyone who opposed the disastrous war in Iraq. We look back and wonder how people fell for such obvious war propaganda, but now the same thing is unfolding again before our eyes. I don't care what names these war-mongers call me, I will call out these fake narratives being used to justify more bloodshed. We can't keep getting fooled by these people.
