Israel’s army spokesmen lie
JVL Introduction
Israel’s army spokespeople have become a laughingstock, seen to make it up as they go along.
The myth of Al Shifa hospital as a Hamas “command and control” centre has really fallen to bits – see the Washington Post’s very cautious analysis here.
Below Chaim Levinson exposes another propaganda myth – how Israel took out tunnels in Gaza in 2021.
Levinson point out that the target of that story, and others like it was the Israeli public. They demand to be told that they are invincible and the IDF has rushed to glorify itself.
“In Israel, lies are an industry, a commodity much in demand. Anyone who wants to tell the truth is considered part of the depression industry. Leftists, Haaretz, Al Jazeera, sourpusses.”

Israelis need the army spokesman's lies to keep believing we're winning
The whole point of the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit is to put lipstick on nonsense. Don’t believe it? Remember the euphoria after we hit Hamas’ tunnels in Gaza in May 2021
