The viral image of 5-year-old Osama al-Raqab, portrayed as a starving Gaza child victimized by Israeli policies, is false. Osama suffers from cystic fibrosis, a serious genetic disease affecting his respiratory and digestive systems, which caused his emaciated appearance, not malnutrition or starvation. On June 12, 2025, Israel coordinated his medical evacuation from Gaza via Ramon Airport to Italy, where he received specialized treatment alongside his mother and brother.
Claims that the IDF shot civilians at an aid center in Gaza have been thoroughly investigated and disproven. Multiple sources, including eyewitness accounts and independent investigations, show that the gunfire came from armed Palestinian militants who were clashing amid chaotic conditions. The Israeli Defense Forces did not fire on the aid center or the civilians there. Video evidence released by Israeli authorities and verified by third parties confirms that the IDF maintained distance and did not engage in shooting at the humanitarian site.
Allegations that Israeli settlers burned the 4th-century Church of St. George in Taybeh (which is not an active church but an archeological site, stone ruins, that can't even be burned) were fabricated. The fire occurred in nearby dry grass and was quickly extinguished with help from local Jewish residents, leaving the church unharmed.
The claim that eighty percent of Gaza’s babies would starve in forty-eight hours was a gross misinterpretation of a UN report and was later corrected by UN officials.
The activists aboard the Handala flotilla were not kidnapped but peacefully intercepted and legally deported after attempting to breach Israel’s naval blockade.
What's up with all the lies? Surely, they wouldn't lie so much if there was really a genocide and Israel was as evil as they want u to think, would they?
