Here are some of the areas acknowledged in this article where Israeli spokespeople routinely disseminate <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/disinformation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>disinformation</span></a>:</p><p>• about casualty numbers (hint: they also lie about their own casualty numbers, not yet really acknowledged by the Graun);<br>• about the <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/non" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>non</span></a>-combatant status of the overwhelming majority of Palestinians that <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Israel</span></a> kills;<br>• about the fact that their own intelligence units have known for years that the <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/GazaHealthAuthority" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GazaHealthAuthority</span></a> casualty figures are quite reliable, despite routinely being dismissed by Israeli spokespeople as inflated (ironically, this is finally being acknowledged/mentioned in western media even as those figures become less and less accurate than ever before, an increasingly glaring undercount of the true number of Palestinian deaths, due to reasons I've discussed a number of times);<br>• about Israeli military practices, which routinely violate <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/InternationalLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InternationalLaw</span></a> in all kinds of egregious ways;<br>• about Israel's actual objectives in pursuing violence, which have almost nothing to do with rescuing hostages and only tangentially relate to <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Hamas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hamas</span></a>.</p>
