Video: Israeli agitator walks into student camp, calls for help, claims ‘truly afraid’
MIT campus sees another ridiculous smear attempt
A US-based Israeli military officer has embarrassed himself on camera in the latest of a series of feeble – and filmed – attempts to smear protesters.
The man walked into the middle of a student encampment at MIT in the US and started calling for help – before later telling far-right station Fox News that he was ‘truly afraid’:

Whatever his emotional state, he is presumably not very bright if he didn’t realise how he would look when the video inevitably came out. Still, at least he didn’t claim to have been ‘stabbed in the eye’ by a flag before going, uninjured, onto news programmes to bewail the ‘violence’ of peace protesters trying to stop a genocide.
Meanwhile, the student protest movement continues to grow – and to score numerous successes.

Video: Falter falls apart – CAA ‘cross the road’ boss bails under scrutiny and challenge
Gideon Falter doesn’t appear to have had a good day.
As Skwawkbox reported earlier, ‘Campaign against Antisemitism’ (CAA) chief executive Falter’s claim that he had been prevented by police from crossing a road after just happening to ‘come across’ a pro-Palestine march looks to have fallen apart after a huge volume of eyewitness, photographic and video evidence emerged challenging the veracity of the claim. Falter appears to have fallen apart too in at least one interview.
Under relatively mild challenge from Sky News’s Kay Burley – and confronted by some facts from Palestine Solidarity Campaign’s Ben Jamal – Falter flapped and then said he didn’t want to discuss the issue with Jamal any further. Burley, to her credit, cut him off when he tried to complete his propaganda without being scrutinised or challenged:
Sky News subsequently deleted its earlier video of Falter’s claims – whether in reaction to his performance in the Burley interview is not known.
Falter’s CAA group has been shown to have taken large amounts of funding from a ‘quasi-governmental’ Israeli organisation and featured prominently in the campaign to take down then-Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.
Falter himself has been shown to have made false claims of antisemitic speech on at least one occasion – leading to the prosecution, conviction and unanimous acquittal on appeal of a Foreign Office official. His claim about Saturday’s events fuelled calls for the banning of pro-Palestinian marches and the removal of Met Police Commissioner Mark Rowley – who just happens to have previously refused the demands of right-wing, pro-Israel campaigners and politicians for the marches to be banned.

Video: Israeli soldiers say they shot at kibbutz houses, burned bodies
Propaganda video praising women tankers gives away ‘panic’ of IDF soldiers shooting regardless of civilians
An Israeli propaganda video praising the role of women tankers in fighting Hamas during the 7 October kibbutz raid has confirmed already-existing reports in Israeli media – and admissions by senior government advisers – that many of the deaths among Israeli civilians were caused by Israeli Defence Force (IDF) bullets.
In the excerpt below, women soldiers say that:
- Soldiers at the scene were ‘panicked’ and wanted them to shoot at areas regardless whether there were civilians
- they shot at civilian houses where they could not have known whether there were civilians inside
- that burned bodies – most of whom were later claimed by Israel to be civilians – were killed the IDF and that the tank crews shot the burned bodies again to make sure no one lived
The woman tank commander says, perversely, in one moment that she refused an order to shoot where there might be civilians but two seconds later says that she immediately fired on a kibbutz house:
Israeli survivors of the raid told Israeli media soon afterwards that many if not most of the civilian deaths were caused by IDF fire. The videos were suppressed and never reported by the international ‘mainstream’ media, but are still in circulation.
BREAKING: ISRAELI DEFENSE CORRESPONDENT SAYS HAMAS TOOK CARE OF THE HOSTAGES
Alon Ben David said;
“They were not subjected to torture or ill-treatment. The food was scarce; there wasn't much food.”

Israeli media reports have said hostages were well treated. UK media have mostly ignored
Former Israeli ambassador to the UK Mark Regev, now a senior Netanyahu adviser, inadvertently admitted that the IDF weapons had been responsible for the hundreds of charred charred Israeli bodies – and that two hundred that Israel had thought were Israelis killed by the IDF were in fact Palestinian. A senior IDF pilot told an interviewer that the ‘Hannibal’ directive to kill Israelis as well as Palestinians to prevent hostage situations – supposedly a policy abandoned years ago – was something he and his colleagues trained in regularly for the last twenty years and that the events at the kibbutzim were a ‘mass Hannibal’.
Israeli soldiers and pilots also told Israeli media that they had destroyed homes with everyone inside, both Israeli and Palestinian. Now a propaganda video, intended to boast about Israeli military courage and to present Israel as progressive, has again confirmed that the IDF fired at people in the kibbutz without differentiating between Israelis and Palestinians and even put bullets into the burned to make sure they were dead – making a sick mockery of the Israeli regime’s claims of savagery used to justify its mass killing of civilians in Gaza.
