FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda More than 200 rockets have been fired from Gaza into Israel since Saturday and the IDF (Israeli Defense Force) has made extensive use of social media sites like twitter to publicize and justify its attack on Gaza.
The Israeli Defense Force has used YouTube and twitter to announce its campaign in Gaza as well as to issue a warning to Hamas.
After taking out Hamas leader Ahmed Jabari with a precision guided bomb, the IDF tweeted a chilling warning to Hamas: “We recommend that no Hamas operatives, whether low level or senior leaders, show their faces above ground in the days ahead.”
The IDF assault on Gaza – the biggest in more than 3 years – has been accompanied by an equally aggressive social media offensive.
Even before Israel’s attack on Gaza, the IDF began liveblogging the rocket attacks from Gaza on southern Israel.
Israel’s use of social media to justify its actions is three dimensional and has three different audiences , Gabriella Blum, professor of international law and conflict management at Harvard Law School, told Wired magazine.
Primarily it’s a warning to Hamas militants in Gaza, but it also appeals to Israeli public opinion as a show of spirited resistance and appeals to international public opinion that the killing was a targeted attack on a terrorist with minimum civilian casualties.
But there is a more sinister side to Israel’s killing of Jabari. For several years he has been Israelis partner in Gaza. After the 2009 Israeli “Cast Lead” assault on Gaza, Israel made a deal with Hamas. As long as Jabari kept the rockets from raining down on Israel, Israel would keep the cash and aid trucks rolling in.
However, in the last few weeks, the rockets started flying again and Jerusalem blamed Jabari. As Defense Minister Ehud Barak put it, “in the Middle East there is no second chance for the weak”.
