Four lies that world leaders tell you about Israel - and the truth

 

a)     Emmanuel Macron: “Hamas has never operated in the West Bank.”

The Truth:

Hamas has operated in the West Bank since the 1980s and carried out hundreds of terrorist attacks from there, killing hundreds of civilians. Just this week, a Hamas terrorist killed Netanel Shukrun, a 30-year-old father.

b)     Zohran Mammdani: “I can’t support Israel’s existence because it’s a Jewish state that privileges one religion.”

The Truth:

Around 83 countries in the world officially have a state religion or give special privileges to a religion. The only one that Mamdani explicitly said shouldn’t exist is the one Jewish state, which also gives equal rights to all its non-Jewish citizens.

c)     Recep Tayyip Erdogan: “Israel's Hands are Stained with the Blood of 75,000 innocents in Gaza.”

The Truth:

Around 35, 000 of those killed in Gaza are combatants and not innocent civilians — a ratio of 1.2:1. A level never achieved in any other war. In comparison, the U.S. ratio in the war against ISIS was around 3:1. Even in total numbers, it is not the deadliest conflict in recent years, with Saudi Arabia's war in Yemen killing over 400,000 people.

d)     António Guterres “There has been no general commitment by UNRWA to provide any kind of support to Hamas.”

The Truth:

Even the UN has admitted that some UNRWA workers also worked as Hamas operatives and even took part in the October 7th massacre. Around 10% of UNRWA workers are estimated to have had ties with terror organizations. Hamas also used UNRWA facilities for electricity, shelter, and military bases.
