Support for Israel among the American public dropped this year to only 54%, the lowest figure since 2000, according to a new survey by the Gallup Institute. The survey reflects the deepening rift between Israel and the more liberal and left part of the population, and it shows that for the first time in history, the majority of Democrat voters hold a negative opinion of the Zionist monster: 60%, by comparison, Democrats are more sympathetic to Gaza and the Palestinian Authority (45% hold a positive position on them), Egypt (61%) and Cuba (55%) than Israel.
Not only this but the Bibas family is threatening to sue the Israeli govt if it continues with the false official propaganda on hostage killings. You can read the letter of their lawyers here: https://thegrayzone.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/bibas-1.pdf
Max Blumenthal in the Grayzone writes:
“Dozens of Israeli captives have been killed in Gaza by the Israeli military while Netanyahu & Biden sabotaged deal after deal. Funerals for the deceased Bibas family members are scheduled to take place on Feb. 26. The family has reportedly banned Israeli government officials from attending the ceremony. A day before the funeral, the sister of Yarden Bibas, Ofri, published a Facebook post telling the Israeli Prime Minister to “shut up,” and accused him of “abuse for its own sake of a family that has gone through 16 months of hell. Meanwhile, as a new independent analysis supports claims that Israel killed the Bibas family members in an airstrike, Tel Aviv has deployed one of its most notorious spin doctors to keep the blame focused on Hamas” [i]
The head of the forensic institute in Israel Dr. Chen Kugel testified for the defense in the killing of Tom Hurndall, a British citizen who was intentionally shot in the head by an Israeli sniper because he was a supporter of the Palestinians. “Despite Kugel’s best efforts to lie and launder this murder, he was convicted, which is incredibly rare in Israel, showing just how overwhelming the evidence actually was and how brazen Kugel is with his pathological lying for the Israeli regime. It wouldn’t be Dr. Kugel’s first time twisting reality to reinforce official Israeli government propaganda. Less than a month after Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack, Kugel was already hard at work laundering the myth of beheaded babies which Israel used to manufacture consent for its genocidal rampage, with a writer for The Economist noting that “Dr. Chen Kugel… told me he had seen the burnt, headless bodies of babies.This turned out to be a gargantuan lie, as only one baby was killed on October 7: 11 month old Mila Cohen, who was accidentally shot through the door of a kibbutz safe room.” [ii]
“An analysis by Adar Weinreb, an independent Israeli researcher and former IDF soldier, demonstrates that an Israeli airstrike was the most likely cause of death for Shiri, Ariel and Kfir Bibas. While Israel claims the Bibas family was ‘brutally murdered by terrorists,’ a closer look at the available evidence suggests otherwise,” Weinreb wrote. “Given Israel’s history of misleading forensic reports, its established pattern of killing hostages in airstrikes, and the overwhelming lack of precedent for Islamist militants executing young children, I believe the most plausible explanation, by a significant margin, is that they were killed in an Israeli airstrike.” [iii]
“After being extracted to Gaza, at least three Israelis who managed to escape their Hamas captors were killed by Israeli forces who subsequently testified that they mistook them for Palestinians. Those soldiers even hunted down one of the escaped hostages on foot, executing him at point blank range.
In January of 2024, the mother of an Israeli soldier slain while being held in Gaza, Ron Sherman, revealed that he’d been killed by his own forces when the Israeli army gassed the Gaza tunnel he was in – a death which she said was “like Auschwitz.”
Noam Dann, the niece of captive Ofer Calderon, publicly complained, “They are carrying out a Hannibal procedure on us. My cabinet, my prime minister, my defense minister, are carrying out operations on my family, on citizens who were kidnapped from their homes – a Hannibal procedure.
Many released captives have described being more frightened of Israeli bombing than of their Hamas captors. That fear was perhaps best summarized by Menir Oz, a released Israeli who told the country’s cabinet that when “we were sitting in the tunnels, we were terribly afraid that not Hamas but Israel would kill us, and then they would say – Hamas killed you. Noa Argamani describes the moment when the building she was in with Itai Svirsky and Yossi Sharabi collapsed, trapping them under the rubble, both of them were killed because of that Israeli airstrike. “I couldn’t move, I couldn’t breathe. I screamed so that someone would hear me. I also heard Yossi screaming, but after a few seconds, I stopped hearing him.”[iv]
Down with the Zionist monster!
For Palestine, red and free from the river to the sea!
