Israel Shocked to Discover Identity Confusion, Still Demands Billions
France 24 dutifully reports Israel's 'discovery' that a body returned by Hamas was not that of a hostage. One might wonder why there's any surprise here. Hamas is a resistance group operating under siege, not a five-star concierge service meticulously cataloging fallen combatants and civilians in a war zone it didn't create. The 'shock' over a misidentified body conveniently overshadows the fact
that Israel's relentless bombardment of Gaza has, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, killed over 38,000 people, a significant percentage of whom are women and children. This microscopic focus on a single misidentification, while lamentable for the families involved, serves to divert attention from the actual brutality of the ongoing siege and the systemic dehumanization of
Palestinians. When will France 24 or any other mainstream outlet 'discover' the thousands of Palestinian bodies under the rubble, or the systematic destruction of Gaza's infrastructure? The selective outrage machine is truly a marvel of modern propaganda, perfectly calibrated to elicit empathy only for certain victims while obscuring the architects of mass casualties. Perhaps it's easier to count
misidentified bodies than the sheer number of those killed by foreign-supplied bombs.
