In a new article published last week, urban warfare expert John Spencer and legal expert Arsen Ostrovsky debunk seven common lies told about Israel's ongoing defensive war against Hamas in Gaza:
Lie #1: Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
Lie #2: Israel intentionally targets civilians in Gaza.
Lie #3: The civilian-to-combatant ratio proves Israel's war crimes.
Lie #4: Israel is starving Gaza’s population.
Lie #5: Israel indiscriminately attacks hospitals and schools.
Lie #6: Israel is illegally occupying Gaza.
Lie #7: Israel violates Hamas prisoners’ rights under the Geneva Conventions.
"Israel today is not only fighting a terrorist regime that has weaponized civilians — it is fighting a second war: a war against lies. From false claims of genocide, to manipulated casualty statistics, to the cynical misuse of humanitarian law, nearly every accusation leveled against Israel and the IDF distorts reality, ignores law, and inverts morality," they conclude.
Sir or Madam - we cannot continue to let these lies go unchecked.
