Hamas reacted with fury to one of the most in-depth international studies on the unprecedented incursion into southern Israel, demanding that HRW withdraw the report and “apologize.”
So I guess the Palestinian Authority must be even more upset. After all, they worked so very hard to deny that Hamas caused any harm to Israelis, let alone raped and killed so many on October 7th.
The Palestinian Authority’s lies have launched a worldwide phenomenon of denial of the October 7 atrocities committed by Hamas. The PA started this false narrative immediately after October 7, even though Hamas had proudly filmed its actions for the whole world to witness. Since then, the PA’s messaging has become progressively more extreme in its denial of the accusations, appropriation of victimhood, and libel of Israel as having made up the whole story. It has thus set the tone and talking points for Israel haters around the world. For example:
Israel lied about Hamas killing children.
Palestinian reporter on Israeli affairs Ahed Farwaneh: “Israel achieved international support, and mainly American [support], through lies, because a number of the American channels reported the lies of Hamas slaughtering Israeli children and raping women.”
PLO Executive Committee member and PLF Secretary-General Wasel Abu Yusuf says beheading of babies, rape, and burning of women are “imaginary stories and tall tales” made. up by Israelis.
Mahmoud Abbas’ advisor: “They [the Israelis] have spread lies, falsehoods, and fabrications regarding what happened on Oct. 7, and therefore the world turned against the Palestinians.”
Palestinian Authority then appropriates Israeli victimhood and says Israel committed the massacre, killing their [own] civilians and burning their bodies.
Head of Radio and TV Department at Cairo University’s Faculty of Mass Communications Ashraf Jalal claimed that the Israeli hostages, many of whose families were either partially or entirely wiped out, received “generous treatment” and left captivity “happy and laughing.”
