Readers are very happy and many relieved the dog survived the Gaza hell. One though was not afraid to ask a more pressing question:

"How many children were shot in the head in order to find her?" [18 downvotes, 2 upvotes]

#Ynet regularly allows these kind of genocidal comments

[cont’d] Same incident reported in #Haaretz:

Headline

Palestinian woman shot dead in the West Bank after throwing stones at Israeli vehicles; IDF: She tried to stab soldiers

Text

A Palestinian woman threw stones at IDF forces and Israeli vehicles at the Giti Avishar junction in the West Bank and was shot dead. The IDF reported that she also tried to stab soldiers at the scene before she was shot, and that no additional people were injured.

1. Haaretz correctly identifies her as a "Palestinian woman" rather than a "female terrorist"

2. The report directly states she was "shot dead" rather than using the term "neutralized" (terminology #Ynet used intentionally and regularly to broadcast an imminent threat justifying the killing)

3. The report presents the stabbing attempt as an IDF claim ("IDF: She tried to stab soldiers") rather than a confirmed fact

4. Ynet's headline emphasized the knife being found in her possession, while Haaretz includes the stabbing attempt as an IDF statement in the context of the report

Waiting for #Ynet’s report on this. Nothing so far. I guess they’re either busy scraping “antisemitism” stories off social media, or waiting for #IDF spokesperson’s/Ministry of Foreign Affairs talking points …

[cont'd] Quoting Ariel Muzicant (European Jewish Congress President): "The motivation of extreme right politicians to come to this conference is not the love for Israel or to protect the Jews, but mainly to get a kosher rabbi stamp,"

European Jewish Congress President Ariel Muzicant has strongly condemned Israeli "Diaspora Affairs" Minister Amichai Chikli for inviting far-right European politicians to an anti-#antisemitism conference, calling it "a stab in the back" to Jewish communities.

According to (right-wing) #JerusalemPost report, prominent Jewish leaders including UK Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis have withdrawn from the March 26-27 event over the inclusion of figures like Jordan #Bardella from #France's National Rally and representatives from parties with histories of antisemitism.

"The motivation of extreme right politicians to come to this conference is not the love for Israel or to protect the Jews, but mainly to get a kosher rabbi stamp," Muzicant wrote, warning that far-right movements often oppose values essential for Jewish survival in Europe.

According to (center-right) #Ynet, Muzicant stated that the four largest Jewish organizations in the world – #AJC, #EJC, #WJC, and #CER (the World, European, American Jewish organizations, and the Conference of European Rabbis) – will also boycott the conference.

[cont’d] Ynet’s report (Itamar Eichner editorializing news agencies reports, with the help of Moran Azoulay):

Unlike the #Haaretz article, which provided more detailed descriptions of the allegations and evidence while still including Israeli responses, the #Ynet article primarily functions as a platform for official Israeli denials while minimizing the substantive content of the UN report itself.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Very typical editorialized “reporting” in ynet includes:

Delegitimization through quotation marks: the article places quotation marks around terms like "experts" ("מומחים") when referring to the #UN investigators, suggesting their expertise is questionable.

Focus on Israeli responses: approximately half the article is dedicated to Israeli officials' responses, including extensive quotes from #Netanyahu and #Gantz, while providing minimal details about the actual findings.

Emphasis on committee bias: the article repeatedly emphasizes the alleged anti-Israel bias of the Human Rights Council without engaging with the substance of the evidence presented.

Contextual redirection: the article redirects attention to #Hamas's October 7 attacks and alleged sexual violence, implying a false equivalence and shifting focus away from examining the specific allegations against Israeli forces.

Ad hominem approach: rather than addressing the methodology or evidence presented in the report, the article focuses on criticizing committee chair Navi Pillay as "anti-Israeli" ("אנטי-ישראלית").

Also missing:

Specific evidence: Ynet omits almost all references to the evidence presented in the UN report, particularly the approximately twenty videos and photographs documenting alleged abuses. There is no mention of specific video evidence, such as the Telegram channel footage from Ofer prison.

Detailed testimonies: the article excludes the specific testimonies from victims that were central to the UN report, including accounts of physical sexual assault, threats of rape, and the specific question reportedly asked by a soldier: "How do you want us to be raped? One by one or all together?"

Another interesting passage, which highlights the challenges Israeli journalists face in verifying and reporting on events in Gaza due to limited access and reluctance from Gazans to speak with Israeli media.

[…] "You have no way to verify it. He [refering to journalist Wael Hamdan Ibrahim Al-Dahdouh, which killed most his family members of including his son, who was also a journalist] doesn’t want to talk to you either, and almost no one else wants to talk to you. The only ones we’ve managed to bring on from Gaza are a #UNRWA spokesperson—every time we bring him on, people don’t like it, but I don’t mind that they don’t like it—his perspective is just limited; and some poor resident from Rafah, Sami Obeid, whom we initially called a journalist because he once wrote something, but he’s not a journalist, he’s a resident. He’s a resident of Rafah, and he tells you what happened because he’s willing to answer an Israeli phone call and join on Zoom. So our ability to objectively provide something, to explicitly say, 'Today something terrible happened'... it’s also very difficult."

Some outlets, such as #Ynet, have occasionally featured Sami Obeid as evidence of opposition to Hamas without fully disclosing his background or clarifying that his views are personal and not representative.

@israel @palestine

#Ynet's daily inflammatory discourse when reporting on Palestinians involved in... well, anything.

In this article, Ynet's editors chose to use the term "terrorism" in the headline (in quotes, supposedly quoting a grieving family member), in a report which describes the vandalism of military graves by two East Jerusalem teenagers (13). But the facts presented do not support the terrorism label at all. While authorities arrested the suspects, they were later released to house arrest, with some police sources indicating the incident was treated as juvenile misconduct rather than terrorism.

Why let such an easy clickbait go to waste?

While genocidal speech seems to be tolerable to #ynet’s moderators, Naomi Klein is way too dangerous. I believe that this translation to Hebrew is automatically removed by their system.

It’s a translation of this quote:

[…] It’s a simple fable of good and evil, in which Israel is unblemished in its innocence, deserving unquestioning support, while its enemies are all monsters, deserving of violence unbounded by laws or borders, whether in Gaza, Jenin, Beirut, Damascus or Tehran. It’s a story in which Israel’s very identity as a nation is forever fused with the terror it suffered on 7 October, an event that, in Netanyahu’s telling, will be seamlessly merged both with the Nazi Holocaust and a battle for the soul of western civilization.

Quoting Nicole Holofcener: "Antisemitism is a very real thing, but what Israel is doing in Gaza is shocking"

Holofcener is an American director and screenwriter known for Walking and Talking (1996), Lovely & Amazing (2001), Please Give (2010), and Enough Said (2013). and contributed to television series like Sex and the City and One Mississippi.

#Ynet reader's reaction, which was flagged but not removed:

"We need to go and burn these American Jews, they are the grandchildren of the Judenrats"
