Israel’s anti-flotilla propaganda fails – hilariously

An Israeli propaganda video attempting to smear the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) activists who were abducted in international waters last week has fallen on its face – hard and very fast – thanks to the habitual shoddiness of the ethnostate’s ‘hasbara’.

US so-called ‘influencer’ Lizzy Savetsky, one of several invited to meet and receive instructions from wanted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu last week to publish paid pro-Israel propaganda, published a video in which she claims to be on board one of the GSF boats and that she did not find any aid on board, but did find ‘needles and condoms’ – but didn’t show them on camera as you’d expect.

And she points to supposed supplies brought by the GSF volunteers – revealing that the propagandists were so lazy they didn’t even bother to source any European products for the scam but used Israeli groceries instead:

Israel propaganda fail

The colonial propaganda’s shoddiness was quickly picked up by commentators who pointed out the ‘Israeli’ orange juice and milk in boxes on the counter:

If the propagandists were too lazy to buy foreign groceries, they were certainly too lazy to go to Ashdod port, where the almost fifty boats stolen by Israel are being held:

Nor did they seem to think anyone would notice the ‘mezzuzot’ – Jewish religious boxes containing scripture verses put on door posts – indicating the boat was an Israeli vessel:

Despite what appears to have been an attempt by Israeli bots to boost the ‘likes’ on the video, it was very nearly ‘ratioed’, a sign of a disastrous post, as hundreds of respondents posted replies mocking the incompetence and laziness of the Israeli propaganda machine. These were a few of the picks:

So far, despite the shame, Savetsky has not locked or deleted her account. Perhaps the contracts with Israel for paid propaganda don’t allow it.

But while watching Israeli shills crash and burn has its funny side, Israeli crimes are deadly serious. The occupation has murdered almost 700,000 Palestinian civilians in two years of genocide, more than half of them under five years old – and has already attacked the new flotilla that set sail last week in international waters and abducted its crews, to silence and inaction from the UK and other western governments.
