How Hamas uses Western ignorance of the Middle East to gain support
The real question is – how is
it possible that American social media permit such materials, which are
owned by designated foreign terrorist groups, to be wildly spread on
their platforms?

How is it possible that deceitful information from antidemocratic
entities, like the new Hamas manifest, is permitted to massively spread
on American social media?
This week, I got an awkward message from one of my Instagram followers in Canada.
“After seeing so many ‘colonizer’ and ‘settler’ statements and thinking this was regarding Palestinians
and settlers in the West Bank, and after seeing some of the footage
from those ‘reporters’ that came along on October 7 and were posting
videos bragging and laughing while terrorists were raping and murdering
people in their homes inside Israeli territory, I noticed instances of
calling Israeli kidnapped females ‘settlers.’
It’s now finally sinking in that what Hamas really means is that all of the land Israel exists
on right now is supposedly ‘occupied’ and all Israelis are ‘settlers.’
This is the craziest thing that makes it all even more horrifying. Am I
getting this right?”
This
follower is not Jewish, just someone interested in current world
events, and, yes, she’s getting it right. Not only that – what many
people still do not get right is not a coincidental misunderstanding.
Creating confusion about the situation is all part of the Hamas tactic
of constant deceit, backed by Iran.
These two
fundamentalist entities know very well that if Western people would know
the truth, no one would support them. So instead of calling for the
annihilation of Israel (which is something that both Hamas and Iran
constantly do in Arabic and Persian), they put a great deal of effort
into creating confusion about the facts, in English.
Using Western ignorance
Since
most English-speakers don’t know that “settlers” (those who live in the
disputed territories of Judea and Samaria) actually constitute less
than 5% of Israelis, and since “settlers” is a word with a negative
image, they refer to all Israelis as settlers.
Since most people in English-speaking countries don’t know that the
region of Palestine was never an independent country but an occupied
“no-man’s-land” populated by Jews, Arabs, Christians, Bedouin and others
through many centuries, they claim that it has always been theirs.
Since
most people aren’t familiar with Middle Eastern history, they say that
the Jews don’t belong in Israel, although Jews have been residing there
since biblical times. Since many don’t even bother to Google it, they
say that Palestine was a country, although Arabs only began to identify
themselves as Palestinians after 1967.
They
use words such as “colonizers” or “oppressors” because they know these
are trigger words, sensitive words, meant to create an impression that
has nothing to do with the reality in the Middle East. Throwing these
words at Israel is meant to hide the fact that Israel is the only
anti-colonial project in the Middle East, a democracy with equal rights
for all citizens, whether Jewish, Christian, or Muslim (20% of Israelis
are Muslim). It is also meant to hide the fact that both Iran and Hamas
run autocratic, cruel, religiously primitive, and oppressive regimes.
Everything
I’ve written here is basic knowledge for every Israeli and also for
most Jews around the world. Still, it’s important to state this clearly
for those who are not personally involved but kind of “join the crowds,”
cheering for one of the sides. It’s important because without
confusion, Hamas and Iran would get zero support for their side. It is
the confusion that allows them to sell a narrative based only on bits
and pieces of the story and padded with lies.
The
new manifest issued by Hamas this week is part of the same confusion
scheme. When Israelis saw it on social media like X (formerly Twitter),
they rolled their eyes. The denial of the mass murder of civilians on
October 7 seemed too delusional to bother to react to. But the manifest
isn’t directed at Israelis. It is directed at Arab and Muslim audiences,
and also at audiences like my Canadian follower, who is neither Jewish
nor an expert on the subject and is therefore easy to confuse.
Iran
and Hamas will probably keep exploiting democratic freedom in order to
spread their antidemocratic narratives, wrapped in a cloud of confusion.
The real question is – how is it possible that American social media
permit such materials, which are owned by designated foreign terrorist
groups, to be wildly spread on their platforms?

Nottingham killer Valdo Calocane could be eligible for release in THREE YEARS under terms of hospital order
A paranoid schizophrenic who randomly 'massacred' two students and a caretaker during a knife rampage in Nottingham before ramming into three people with a van was today sentenced to indefinite detention in a high-security hospital.
Valdo Calocane, 32, fatally stabbed 19-year-old students Barnaby Webber and Grace O'Malley-Kumar before killing his third victim, Ian Coates - a 65-year-old school caretaker four months from retirement - and stealing his white van.
The crazed killer - who said he was hearing voices urging him to kill and believed he was controlled by MI5 and sonic waves - then sped through Nottingham city centre and rammed the van into three pedestrians, all of whom survived.
Today a judge told Calocane, who pleaded guilty to three counts of manslaughter by diminished responsibility and three more of attempted murder, that he would be detained at Ashworth High Secure Hospital 'very probably for the rest of your life'.
But the victims' families raged against the decision to convict him of the lesser charge of manslaughter. Barnaby's parents said that 'true justice has not been served', while Ian's son James said the killer had 'got away with murder'.
The heartbroken relatives also accused Nottinghamshire Police of having 'blood on their hands' for failing to stop Calocane - who they were seeking to arrest for attacking a police officer at the time he carried out the triple killings.
Chilling CCTV emerged today showing how the day of horror unfolded, with Calocane filmed arriving in Nottingham by train before prowling the streets for hours.
Barnaby and Grace are seen walking home from a nightclub at 4am on June 13, moments before the killer leapt out of a darkened alley and brutally attacked them. A 999 caller who came across their bodies is heard describing the unimaginable scene to police, saying: 'Oh no...it was awful'.
Calocane is then filmed casually walking away and trying to break into a homeless hostel - only to be punched in the face by a resident. He is next seen ramming into three pedestrians in the white van. Bodycam footage shows his dramatic arrest by Taser-wielding police just minutes later.

Mr Justice Turner told Calocane today: 'You committed a series of atrocities in this city which ended the lives of three people in this city. Your sickening crimes both shocked the nation and wrecked the lives of your surviving victims and the families of them all.'
The graduate engineering student had been involved in at least seven alarming incidents that brought him to the attention of officials before the fatal attacks - and an arrest warrant had been issued against him for attacking a policeman.
In a statement read on the court steps following his sentencing, Barnaby's mother Emma said: 'We as a devastated family have been let down by multiple agency failings and ineffectiveness.
'The CPS (Crown Prosecution Service) did not consult us as has been reported - instead we have been rushed, hastened and railroaded.'
Emma said the first meeting with them was on November 24.
'We were presented with a fait accompli that the decision had been made to accept manslaughter charges,' she said.
'At no point during the previous five-and-a-half-months were we given any indication that this could conclude in anything other than murder.
'We trusted in our system, foolishly as it turns out. We do not dispute that the murderer is mentally unwell and has been for a number of years.
'However, the pre-mediated planning, the collection of lethal weapons, hiding in the shadows and brutality of the attacks are that of an individual who knew exactly what he was doing. He knew entirely that it was wrong but he did it anyway.'
Mr Justice Turner told the killer his actions had sentenced many relatives and friends of the victims to 'a life of grief and pain'.
He told the triple killer: 'There was never any doubt that it was you who had committed these appalling crimes.
'It soon became clear, however, that the central issue in this case would relate to whether at the time of committing these offences you were suffering from symptoms of severe mental disorder.'
The judge added that the psychiatric evidence did not detract from the 'horror' and impact of the offences, but he said, in his view, Calocane's abnormality of mind had significantly contributed to him perpetrating the string of attacks.
As he was sentenced, Calocane stood with his hands at his side and showed no emotion as he looked towards the sentencing judge.
After being told that he would be led away to the cells, Calocane briefly attempted to sit back down in his seat before one of five people thought to be psychiatric hospital staff motioned for him to stand up and leave.
Wearing glasses, a dark suit and a light blue shirt without a tie, Calocane was also accompanied by a female dock officer as he left the courtroom.
There was no audible reaction from anyone sitting in the public gallery or other parts of the court.
Before Calocane's sentencing this morning, one of Ian Coates' sons was applauded after standing up in courtroom one to make an impromptu address.
Speaking towards the families of Barnaby and Grace he said: 'No matter what the outcome is our family are here for you from now until whenever. I am so sorry that we had had to go through this and this is how we have met.
'If I don't manage to stay the whole day because I can't keep my mouth shut, I apologise. But we are in the same boat.'
Relatives of those killed and injured in the attacks, sitting in the public gallery, responded by applauding his remarks.
Earlier, his 38-year-old son, James, said he feels only hatred towards his father's killer.
He told the BBC: 'He is, to me, the most evil person on this planet. He went out and brutally massacred three people and then attempted to kill another three, but luckily he was caught.'
James' brother Lee added: 'The guy is a coward. He honed in on weak and vulnerable young students, weak and vulnerable old people.'
Yesterday Calocane's barrister referred to a litany of incidents where he came to the attention of the authorities in the three years leading up to his killing spree – yet he was continually released.
Peter Joyce KC urged the judge not to consider a whole-life order, saying paranoid schizophrenia is an 'unwanted visitor' which 'stalked down' a man of previously impeccable character and behaviour.
Calocane set upon Grace and Barnaby as they walked home from a nightclub. Witnesses described England hockey player Grace's 'heroic' attempts to protect her friend against the crazed killer.
Yesterday, her parents Sinead O'Malley and Dr Sanjoy Kumar said there needed to be a 'massive deterrent' against using knives, and called on the Government to 'urgently' address the issue.

They spoke out as Nottinghamshire Police admitted officers 'should have done more' to arrest Calocane, who was wanted for arrest at the time of the rampage.
Calocane's barrister told a court that the police, the NHS and the University of Nottingham, from where Calocane had graduated a year before the killings, were all aware of his behaviour.
Ms O'Malley, a consultant anesthetist, said carrying a knife was 'no different' to carrying a gun.
She told BBC Breakfast: 'I believe there has to be mandatory prison sentences for carrying a knife.
'It is not just an offensive weapon or something you could eat your food with. It is a lethal weapon.'
Dr Kumar, a GP, described knife crime in England as an 'epidemic', and said 'it feels like nothing is being done about it'.
There is no minimum sentence for people caught carrying a knife for the first time. Whether or not a prison sentence is imposed depends on culpability, harm or aggravating and mitigating factors.
For those aged over 18, a minimum sentence of six months' custody applies if someone has been caught with a knife before. The maximum penalty is either four years in prison, an unlimited fine, or both.
For 16 and 17-year-olds, the equivalent is a four-month detention order.
Calocane's barrister Peter Joyce KC said by the time of the killings last June Calocane had been 'wanted on warrant for nine months in this very city' for the assault of a police officer.

'The police knew how he was behaving because they took him to the mental hospital several times.
'The doctors knew how he was behaving because they had him in their care several times. The nurses saw it several times.'
He added that there had been an incident when the university also referred Calocane to mental health services.
Nottingham Crown Court heard from psychiatrists on Wednesday who discussed Calocane's mental state, with one telling the packed court room that Calocane heard voices telling him he needed to kill people or his family would be hurt.
His barrister also told the court the defendant once visited MI5's London headquarters, asking them to stop 'controlling him'.
Mr Joyce said: 'He [Calocane] tried to surrender to MI5 at their headquarters to try and stop them controlling him.
'That's not a concoction by him.
'There is a photograph taken by their systems at Thames House, saying "please arrest me" - effectively "stop controlling me".'
Mr Coates' family today described Calocane as 'the most evil person on the planet'
Mr Joyce said the incident happened on May 31, 2021, about two years before the 'desperate episode' in which three people were killed on the streets of Nottingham.
Dr Leo McSweeney, a consultant psychiatrist, said the defendant 'felt pressure' to kill people otherwise something 'atrocious' would happen to his family.
Describing their first meeting in November, he said: 'He explained he had experienced pressure, voice and persecutory beliefs.
'He gave some explanation for what happened, said this pressure had reached a certain point and if he did not act in a certain way, something atrocious would happen to his family.
'He appreciated his actions would mean he would likely end up in prison, recognising they were wrong.
'He certainly implied he felt impelled to cause vast amounts of harm.'
Mr Joyce told the court Calocane described hearing male and female voices which would give him direct instructions and threaten him and tell him to harm hospital staff.
He said: '[These voices] said people he loved would be harmed.
'He had been to his family home in another part of the country which involved a long journey, arrived there and waited outside all day, fearful.
'His family had come home but he had refused to go into the house with them because he had gone there to warn them.
'He said those who were controlling his head were controlling his eyes and could see where in the house his mother, father and brother were sitting so they could be targeted.
'He didn't go in at all but stayed all night in the car outside to protect them.'
Dr Nigel Blackwood, professor of forensic psychiatry at King's College London, told the court Calocane has shown a 'profound lack of awareness' of his serious mental health condition, which he will have 'until his dying day'.
Dr Blackwood said of the period leading up to the killings: 'He continued to believe that this was not, in his words, a natural illness, but that he was subject to interference by malign forces.
'He concealed symptoms from his (mental health) team, he evaded their care and he did not trust them.'
Asked if Calocane still hears voices, Dr Blackwood said: 'I understand that they have reduced in intensity and frequency... but they are still there.'

The court was also told Calocane believed he was controlled by radio and sonic control, subjects he studied during his degree course at Nottingham University.
Asked by Mr Joyce if Calocane is 'so ill... he will never be well enough to be released', Dr Blackwood said: 'I think it overwhelmingly likely that he will spend very many years of his life in secure psychiatric care.'
Dr Ross Mirvis, a consultant psychiatrist at Ashworth high security hospital on Merseyside, where the defendant is a patient, agreed with Dr Blackwood and Dr McSweeney that Calocane would not have killed on June 13 if he was not suffering from paranoid schizophrenia.
Dr Blackwood said Calocane was in the 'grip of a severe psychotic episode', saying: 'As a result, he has lost sight of others' humanity and their right to life - he is entirely driven by the psychotic process at the time.
'The assaults would not have occurred in the absence of his psychosis.'
Despite his paranoid schizophrenia, which caused an 'abnormality of mental function', Dr Blackwood said Calocane knew at the time that what he was doing was 'morally and legally wrong', which led him to rule out a potential defence of insanity.
Prosecutor Karim Khalil KC said Calocane 'knew what he was about to do' as he prepared to attack Mr Webber and Ms O'Malley-Kumar from behind as they walked to their student accommodation after a night out.
Mr Khalil said: 'He hid, as we know, in the shadows.
'What he did was wait in the shadows until the two students walked past and he followed them from behind. He attacked them from behind when they were at their most vulnerable.
'He plainly knew what he was about to do.'
Before stabbing Mr Coates, Mr Khalil said, Calocane lured him 'from his vehicle'.
'It is plain he conducted himself in a purposeful way,' the Crown's barrister added.
'It is clear that his dangerousness is heightened by virtue of his ability to diminish or conceal that which he is actually doing.'
At his sentencing hearing, defence barrister Peter Joyce KC said his client had once visited MI5's London headquarters and asked them to stop 'controlling him'
Families' anger at handling of killer's case
Here are the statements of the families of the three victims killed by Valdo Calocane, as read outside court:
Barnaby Webber
In a statement read outside court after sentencing, Barnaby Webber's mother Emma Webber said: 'True justice has not been served today.
'We as a devastated family have been let down by multiple agency failings and ineffectiveness. The CPS did not consult with us, as has been reported. Instead, we have been rushed, hastened and railroaded.
'The first meeting we had with them, at our behest, was Friday November 24, a few short days before the pre-trial plea hearing on the 28th. For the record, they had suggested that we actually meet them on that very morning, which we clearly thought wasn't enough time.
'We were presented with a fait accompli. That decision had been made to accept manslaughter charges, we were horrified.
'At no point during the previous five and a half months were we given any indication that this could conclude in anything other than murder.
'We trusted in our system - foolishly, as it turns out.
'We do not dispute that the murderer is mentally unwell and has been for a number of years.
'However, the premeditated planning, the collection of lethal weapons, hiding in the shadows, and the brutality of the attacks are of an individual who knew exactly what he was doing. He knew entirely that it was wrong but he did it anyway.
'This has been a trial by doctors. Why was there no mental health assessment during his time in custody? Why was it the first time he had any assessment in mid-July for the defence report only? Why did he not begin to receive treatment till mid-September? And why did he remain in prison until November 1?
'Importantly, why did Dr Blackwood, instructed by the CPS in August, wait until November 14 to interview and assess him? So many questions.
'To Nottingham Police, we additionally have grave concerns regarding aspects of this investigation.
'Why were we repeatedly told through the summer that the offender was a sofa surfer and had no real abode? Not true. He did. One that was registered in his name in Nottingham, and one that he had been in for six months prior to his eviction on only June 11 last year. Why?
'It took repeated questioning from us to finally receive an answer late last Friday afternoon to the question of his outstanding warrant, issued September 2022, for a vicious attack on a police officer. Such a violent assault that he was tasered.
'To the assistant chief constable Rob Griffin, who finally released this information publicly yesterday, I say this: you have blood on your hands.
'If you had just done your jobs properly, there's a very good chance my beautiful boy would be alive today.
'There is so much more to say and clearly serious questions regarding this case and events leading up to this monster being out in society.
'But for today, our darling son, his dear friend Grace, and a wonderfully kind grandfather Ian, have been stolen from us forever and let down by the very system that should have been protecting them.'
Grace O'Malley-Kumar
Grace's father, Dr Sanjoy Kumar, said the families would regroup to consider their next steps in the hunt for answers to questions about police, CPS and NHS failings.
He said: 'We will never come to terms with the loss of our beloved daughter Grace and how she lost her life.
'Her heroic actions means she was the gift to us. And she was the gift of the country. We'd like to thank our wonderful family from London and Ireland, and all of our friends for their continued love and support.
'Whilst we have never questioned this man's diagnosis, the lack of toxicology, contemporaneous mental health assessment, as well as missed opportunities to divert his lethal path, will forever play on our minds and this requires further review.
'We will look for answers regarding missed opportunities to intervene and prevent this horrendous crime.
'Thank you.'
When asked by a reporter what happens next, he said: 'I think we all regroup. We've been through absolute hell for the last few days. And exactly as Emma said, we regroup and we find a path going forward.'
Ian Coates
Mr Coates' son James Coates said Calocane had 'got away with murder'.
He said: 'My heart from the very beginning has gone out to the families of Grace and Barnaby. It will continue to go out to them, as we all now share an anniversary every June that will never be celebrated. They are the definition of strength and unity.
'My heart also goes out to Wayne Birkett, Marcin Gawronski and Sharon Miller, victims that have also been affected by this heinous crime.
'The letter of the law was once considered the most important rule to live and abide by, put upon us to make the country a fairer and safer place.
'Now they're just a cautionary tale where the calculated cold brutal killing spree can be reduced down to something that falls within the same sentence and restrictions and guidelines as that of death by dangerous driving.
'If this man was not stopped when he was, this could have been one of the most catastrophic of attacks this country had ever seen.
'This man is a killer. Murder was the only thing he cared about. And he fulfilled this in horrific fashion on Tuesday June 13 last year. My family has suffered a great loss.
'The children who my father had a positive impression on have suffered a great loss. The city of Nottingham has suffered a great loss.
'The failures from the police, the CPS, the health service have resulted in the murder of my father and these two innocent students.
'The NHS mental health trusts have to be held accountable for their failures along with the police.
'All we can do is hope that in due course some sort of justice will be served.
'This man has made a mockery of the system and he has got away with murder.'
Commenting after the case, Janine McKinney, of the Crown Prosecution Service, said: 'Valdo Calocane's actions that morning sent shockwaves through our entire community.
'He left three bereaved families devastated by grief and others with life-changing physical and emotional injuries.
'These were savage, ferocious attacks against entirely innocent people who had no way of defending themselves.
'His pleas to manslaughter were only accepted after very careful analysis of the evidence.
'We reached this conclusion because the expert medical evidence was overwhelming; namely that his actions were substantially impaired by psychosis resulting from paranoid schizophrenia.'
Nottingham's day of tragedy: How psychotic killer Valdo Calocane caught train to city, before aimlessly walking streets then stabbing three to death - and going on rampage in stolen van
The horror began with 'awful blood-curdling screams' just after 4am on June 13 as students Grace O'Malley-Kumar and Barnaby Webber were ambushed by an attacker dressed in black.
The savage attack was the beginning of an hour and a half of terror in Nottingham as psychotic killer Valdo Calocane claimed another victim, school caretaker Ian Coates, 65, before trying to kill three more with his stolen van.
Calocane - who heard voices and believed he was being controlled by 'malign forces' - also admitted three counts of attempted murder for hitting pedestrians Wayne Birkett, Marcin Gawronski and Sharon Miller with Mr Coates' van.
As questions continue to be asked about why Calocane was ever allowed out on the streets, here is how the tragic day unfolded.
Nottingham Railway Station
A few hours before the attacks, Valdo Calocane arrives in Nottingham after travelling from London.
He then gets a tram to Wilkinson Street before walking around for hours. By this time it has become dark.

4AM - Ilkeston Road
The psychotic killer waits in a darkened alley before leaping out and attacking 19-year-old students Barnaby Webber and Grace O'Malley-Kumar as they were returning home from a night out at Pryzm in the city centre.
A local resident said: 'The boy and the girl were walking on their own, there was nobody else in the picture except the attacker, who came up from behind.
'He attacked the boy first – the girl had an opportunity to run away. But she didn't, she tried to get the man off her friend. She tried to save the boy.'

In audio of an emergency call to police shortly after, a man is heard saying down the phone 'oh no' before describing the horrific scene.
'There's been a stabbing on Ilkeston Road, there's someone lying on the street - I think they're dead. Oh, that was awful,' he says.
'Whereabouts on Ilkeston Road please?' the 999 controller asks, to which the man - who has not been identified - replies, 'Near the crossroads.'
Killer walks away
Having killed the students, Calocane walks calmly through the Radford area and into Mapperley Park.
After killing the students, he 'calmly' walked across the city to ambush and kill school caretaker Ian Coates, 65
After 4am - Mapperley Road
The killer tries to gain entry into a hostel for homeless people but is pushed away by a resident.
Chilling CCTV footage shows him trying to climb into an open ground-floor window, before Trevor Proverbs, 59, punches him in the face.
The 59-year-old said he was watching the TV because he couldn't sleep when he spotted the man. He told MailOnline: 'There was a guy all in black looking through the window.

Calocane on Radford Boulevard at 4.13am
'I thought he was a burglar at first so I shouted at him to ''f*** off''. But he actually jumped up on the ledge and opened the top window as though he was going to try and come in.
'I got off my chair and just punched him in the face with a right-hook, which forced him down off the ledge. He looked up and walked around a bit but left. The security knocked on my door to check to see if I knew the man. I've never seen him before in my life.'
Magdala Road
Calocane then walks towards Magdala Road where he kills his third victim, 65-year-old school caretaker Ian Coates, before stealing his van.
Mr Coates was preparing to travel to work at the time.
Delivery driver Miklos Toldi, 37, and his wife Petra had been heading to work in their car. They live just 100 yards away and stopped their car at the same time as another motorist.

Mr Toldi, a Hungarian national, said he saw the body lying in the street with stab wounds, adding: 'There was blood trailing down the road.
'The blood looked as if it was fresh. He was lying on his side, his mouth was open and there was no movement.'
5.30am - Milton Street and Upper Parliament Street
The killer then heads for the city centre in his victim's van.
Footage issued by Nottinghamshire Police also showed Calocane deliberately steering towards pedestrian Wayne Birkett, who was hit from behind and suffered two skull fractures and a broken pelvis.
He later drove the van towards Marcin Gawronski and Sharon Miller. They also survived.

Minutes later, police tracked him to a road in Radford, with video showing officers racing to surround the white van before wrenching the door open and aiming a taser at Calocane's abdomen.
Two officers were then seen dragging and grabbing his clothes to get him out of the seat, before placing him in handcuffs.
