In the newest instance of Zionism’s lodge to the “large lie” methodology pioneered by way of Hitler, the far-right govt of indicted warfare prison High Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israel Protection Forces (IDF) have claimed that Palestinian opponents brutally killed two small Israeli youngsters, whose our bodies have been lately returned to Israel, “with their naked arms”.

[AP Photo/Abir Sultan]Their goal is to painting the Palestinians basically and Hamas particularly as monsters whose savagery totally justifies Israel’s warfare of extermination, whilst additionally overlaying for the Israeli govt’s personal prison forget of the hostages.From the beginning, Netanyahu and his far-right coalition allies confirmed nil pastime within the hostages, instead of to use them for propaganda functions, with the Bibas circle of relatives, and father Yarden, changing into the focal point of an enormous marketing campaign to vilify Hamas and safe their liberate, that includes orange balloons to characterize the redheaded boys.The 4-year-old Ariel and 9-month-old Kfir have been taken hostage with their mom Shiri on October 7 by way of the Mujahideen Brigades, a lesser-known Palestinian faction. The Brigades’ commander stated, “Upon her seize, we positioned Shiri’s youngsters together with her out of compassion, equipped them with a protected and at ease refuge, and handled them humanely as our Islamic religion instructions”.Backing up the Palestinian commander’s commentary is video photos of the Bibas abduction, first broadcast two days after the abduction by way of US broadcaster NBC—with audio got rid of. Apparently to turn the kidnappers’ chief telling his males to handle the mum and kids and ensure they weren’t harmed and telling the circle of relatives to “loosen up” and “Don’t fear, we’re other folks with humanity”.The youngsters’s lifeless our bodies have been passed over to the Israeli government on February 20. Shiri’s frame used to be additionally returned, after an preliminary combine up—amid the turmoil of the mass destruction of Gaza—that noticed the go back of an unidentified Palestinian lady as an alternative. This caused the IDF to claim, “It is a violation of extreme severity by way of the Hamas 15 May Organization, which is obligated beneath the settlement to go back 4 deceased hostages.” Netanyahu bellowed that Hamas would pay a “complete worth” for the “merciless and malicious violation” of the deal. He used this as an excuse to lengthen the discharge of greater than 600 Palestinian hostages detained at no cost or trial in Israel.The youngsters’s father, Yarden, who had additionally been captured and held one at a time, used to be launched alive on February 1. He had previous issued an emotional plea from captivity in Gaza for Netanyahu to safe the discharge of the our bodies of his circle of relatives, announcing, “Bibi [Netanyahu’s nickname], you destroyed my circle of relatives. You killed my spouse and my youngsters, the whole lot in my lifestyles… I’m begging you, please deliver my spouse and my youngsters house.”
This tragedy may simply were have shyed away from. However the Netanyahu govt rejected gives from Hamas in October 2023 to liberate all civilian (however no longer army) hostages: the primary to prevent an Israeli attack on Gaza and the second one to safe an finish to the bombing. Israel persevered its bombardment of Gaza.Shiri and the kids have been anticipated to be integrated in a deal agreed 22 November 2023 that might liberate 150 Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails in change for fifty Israeli ladies and kids hostages. Alternatively, they have been killed throughout Israeli airstrikes within the days after the settlement. When Hamas introduced to liberate the kids’s father Yarden in conjunction with the 3 our bodies. Israel refused, insisting this used to be “propaganda” and that the dwelling feminine hostages be launched earlier than the lifeless.This stand makes transparent that Israel knew the 3 have been lifeless. However as overdue as closing month, the Israeli army stated it used to be “gravely involved” about them. It used to be no longer till February 21 that IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari conceded in a tv interview that the Israeli army had intelligence that the 2 Bibas youngsters have been already lifeless “no later than November 2023”. However, the federal government persevered its marketing campaign of lies and disinformation, to the level of liberating a video claimed to be of the circle of relatives in Khan Younis, and calling for his or her liberate.For totally 14 months, the Netanyahu govt maintained the fiction that the mum and two youngsters have been nonetheless alive. When their our bodies have been returned, IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari pushed aside Hamas’s commentary that that they had been killed in Israeli airstrikes as “lies”. He openly lied that they “have been brutally murdered by way of terrorists in captivity in November 2023”.Hagari stated they have been killed “in chilly blood” with “naked arms.” He added, “Afterwards, they [the terrorists] dedicated horrific acts to hide up those atrocities”, involving mutilating their corpses to simulate dying throughout an Israeli bombardment. He known as at the international to sentence the “barbaric act of terror” dedicated in opposition to the youngest Israeli hostages. Hagari claimed this used to be in accordance with each forensic proof and intelligence however equipped no longer a unmarried scrap of proof to beef up this. Israeli officers later stated that the kids’s mom Shiri have been in a similar way “brutally” murdered by way of her captors in November 2023.The following day, Dr Chen Kugel, head of the Israeli Institute for Forensic Medication, issued a brief video that presupposed to again Hagari’s declare. However as an alternative of presenting supporting proof, he simply claimed, “There is not any proof of damage because of bombing”, with out announcing what they did die of.Netanyahu adopted with a speech to infantrymen at an officer commencement rite. He declared, “They [Hamas] murdered Shiri and her youngsters in chilly blood… they choked the babies with their naked arms, and if they simply may, they might homicide us all with the similar cruelty.”Netanyahu’s claims have been extensively regurgitated and amplified uncritically by way of the home and global media to whip up a bad environment, with the Israeli govt the use of this barefaced mislead whip up every other anti-Palestinian “atrocity” marketing campaign.
Its allies in Washington subsidized Netanyahu’s lies to the hilt, with US President Donald Trump announcing February 21 that he could be “superb” if Netanyahu determined to renew army hostilities in Gaza. Netanyahu “want to move in, and he’s in order that offended, and he will have to be. If he’s no longer offended, then there’d be one thing unsuitable with him, frankly. He’s very offended; he’s an overly offended guy at what took place, particularly what took place the day gone by with those youngsters. It’s so barbaric. You wouldn’t suppose that might occur within the trendy age, however it took place.”The global Zionist press excoriated the Palestinians’ cruelty and known as for the alleged perpetrators of the brutal murders to be eradicated. In London, Jewish leaders condemned as “shameful” London Mayor Sadik Khan’s failure to remove darkness from London landmarks in honour of the Bibas circle of relatives, as in Rio de Janeiro, New York, Berlin and Paris, following Israel’s name to remove darkness from landmarks world wide in orange, of their reminiscence.This filthy marketing campaign elicited a livid reaction from the Bibas circle of relatives, in spite of their obvious acceptance of the narrative of homicide.Ofri Bibas, the kids’s aunt, stated “There is not any forgiveness for forsaking them on October 7, and no forgiveness for forsaking them in captivity”. In an accusation directed at Netanyahu, she added, “We didn’t obtain an apology from you on this painful second”. Revealing information about the circle of relatives’s reason behind dying used to be “abuse for its personal sake of a circle of relatives that has long past via 16 months of hell and nonetheless has the worst forward. So if I may say something to everybody on behalf of the Bibas circle of relatives, simply close up”.The circle of relatives despatched a cease-and-desist letter, difficult Netanyahu and different govt ministers and our bodies chorus from publishing details about the deceased earlier than they won the legit forensic document. Their attorneys wired that liberating main points at the deaths will have to handiest be executed by way of the circle of relatives, calling at the media to “prevent including main points to the truth that Shiri and the youngsters have been murdered by way of their captors” and asked that no representatives of the federal government attend the funeral hung on February 26 and attended by way of hundreds of mourners. They warned in opposition to the use of the kids as an excuse to restart the warfare amid uncertainty over transferring to the following section of the deal, because of get started quickly.The company and state media has glossed over all of this, simply as they have got by no means retracted the lies and deceit that has surrounded Israel’s warfare propaganda, together with Israeli claims that they and their US allies had no intelligence in regards to the October 7 assault; using the Hannibal Directive by way of the IDF that killed round 360 of the 1,140 Israeli sufferers of the October 7 assault to stop the seize of hostages; the horrific and fabricated tales of the “mass” and “systematic” rape and sexual abuse of Israeli ladies; the lurid and mendacious claims in regards to the slaughter, beheading, and cooking in an oven of young children; and Netanyahu’s refusal to barter a hostage deal in excellent religion, turning down a hostage/ceasefire deal closing summer time that used to be similar to the only agreed in January.As a substitute, the mainstream media continues to copy the lies lengthy after they have got been uncovered as entire fabrications.Join the WSWS e mail e-newsletter
