last week was fake gas chambers, now fake ovens

Israel's trivialization and perversion of the memory of the dead is depraved

it's a crime against the past, present and future, i can't deal with this

It's weird how many of the accusations about Oct 7 seem to be stolen directly from atrocities committed by the Israeli side. This one of putting a baby in an oven is extremely close to accounts from Zionist militants about the Deir Yassin massacre, there were also claims circulating a few days ago about an unborn child cut from a pregnant woman that were directly lifted from an account of the Sabra and Shatila massacre.

I can't quite understand why they would do that rather than fabricate things out of whole cloth if there were a plan to manufacture atrocity propaganda, it wouldn't be any harder and would look less absurd than stealing that trauma.

Maybe it's just that those acts specifically have entered the idf zeitgeist, or maybe it's a deliberate SEO thing. Make it harder to find real atrocities committed by Israelis by flooding the Internet with fake but similar ones committed by Palestinians.

I'm thinking it's down to the fact that most reactionaries are just not creative people in general.

I agree, I sort of thought they were too busy finagling all the contradictions they have. They are creating more with every breath and are unable to resolve any, it seems they don't know how and may not think it's possible. Instead they create more contradictions as it's what they know and believe others will be busy finagling as they do.

Hint: other's don't, that seems to be one of the key factors behind reactionaries and their tendency to sow the seeds of their destruction.

i wonder if it could be a deliberate tactic to obfuscate search engine results?
