With the question of whether Israel is committing genocide in Gaza now before the International Court of Justice, the Biden administration has struck a tone of glib dismissal.
Top Israeli political and military leaders have themselves helped to bolster the case against their government. The words of Israeli officials are being offered as evidence of intent: from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urging Israelis to “remember” the Old Testament account of the carnage of Amalek (“Spare no one, but kill alike men and women, infants and sucklings,” reads one passage); to Defense Minister Yoav Gallant vowing that “Gaza won’t return to what it was before — we will eliminate everything”; to the minister of energy and infrastructure pledging, “They will not receive a drop of water or a single battery until they leave this world.” By speaking openly about destroying Gaza and dispersing its residents, Israeli leaders have publicized what has, in other cases of genocide, been hidden or denied.
That whoever thinks there is a genocide in Israel is eating shovels full of Hamas propaganda.
So you actually claim that the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, spreads Hamas propaganda?
Genocide Charge Against Israel Must Serve as a Wake-up Call
The entirety of news all around the world claimed that the hospital strike was Israel, yet Hamas admitted internally that it was one of their shitshow rockets that broke apart in air and hit the hospital.
Your answer is irrelevant. The question was:
So you actually claim that the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, spreads Hamas propaganda?
I say it’s pretty obvious that the genocide case is based on Hammas propaganda, the newspaper os reporting on it… So they kinda do it but not intentionally.
Do you have any link to support your claim? Like how the Hamas propaganda machine has infiltrated Israeli media, or any media/organization etc.
I ask because so far I am aware of the Israeli lobby. Here is an Al Jazeera Investigation prooving how the Israeli lobby is influencing Britain, for instance.
The Lobby P1: Young Friends of Israel
The Lobby P2: The Training Session
The Lobby P3: An Anti-Semitic Trope
The Lobby P4: The Takedown
On the other hand I am not aware of any documentation claiming that Hamas has a strong propaganda machine. So strong that they even have Haaretz under their thumb, according to what you say.

Regarding the source you provide wiki says:
and according to Fathi (2010). p202 “Memri.org – A Tool of Enlightenment or Incitement?”
So having an Israeli lobbying machine talking about Hamas social media strategy, won’t work for me.
[and all this while you keep upvoting yourself?]
Cool, it has links to the primary source there as well, but I thought it would be less useful to link that as I assume you don’t read Arabic.
Damn right.
What you say does not make any sense
in the context of this conversation. I’m out.[gentle reminder of a gentle text on the topic of upvoting oneself]
edit: the strikethrough
I’m sorry you seem to be confused by the notion of citations in the form of links to primary sources.
Haters gonna hate. (I’m upvoting this post, too.)
