   There is no way to "explain" Israel's conduct in the Gaza Strip.   
   Destruction, killing, starvation and siege in such monstrous   
   dimensions can no longer be explained or justified, even by an   
   effective propaganda machine like Israeli public diplomacy (hasbara).   
   The evil can no longer be hidden by any propaganda. Even the winning   
   Israeli combo of victimhood, Yiddishkeit, chosen people and Holocaust   
   can no longer blur the picture. The horrifying October 7 events have   
   not been forgotten by anyone, but they cannot justify the spectacles   
   in Gaza. The propagandist who could explain killing 162 infants in one   
   day – a figure reported by social media this week – is yet to be born,   
   not to mention killing some 10,000 children in two months.   
      
   Israel is already setting up its updated "Yad Vashem." Hundreds of   
   Jewish functionaries from the United States are being flown by air   
   shuttle to the burnt kibbutzim in the south. Natan Sharansky has also   
   been to Kfar Azza this week, to see and show those antisemites what   
   they did to us.   
      
   Israel said 150,000 Gazans must flee south. Then the south was hit by   
   bombs   
      
   Have Israelis seen the footage from Gaza?   
      
   Bombing historical sites in Gaza: 'Israel is destroying everything   
   beautiful'   
      
   No official guest will be able to land in Israel from now on without   
   being forced to pass through Kibbutz Be'eri. And afterward if he dares   
   turn his gaze to the Gaza Strip, he will be labeled antisemitic. Wait   
   for Birthright buses with a soldier watching over each one, Czech   
   rifle drawn. They too are already on their way to Nir Oz.   
      
   It is very doubtful this will do any good. Hasbara is now an immoral   
   machine. Anyone who makes do with being shocked at what has been done   
   to us while disregarding what we've been doing since has no integrity   
   or conscience. One cannot ignore Gaza and only be shocked by Kfar   
   Azza. Of course it's compulsory to tell and show the world what Hamas   
   did to us. But the story only begins there. It doesn't end there. Not   
   telling its sequel is a despicable act.   
      
   Alongside the awful Israeli suffering, which must not be   
   underestimated, the much greater suffering is now in the Gaza Strip.   
   It's enormous in scope and causes despair. It has no explanation, nor   
   does it need one. Suffice it for the reports coming out of Gaza and   
   being broadcast all over the world except in one tiny state, whose   
   eyes are shut and whose heart is sealed.   
      
   Israeli hasbara is a deception. It tells a story that isn't the whole   
   truth. By hiding more than half the truth, hasbara should have been   
   seen as a shameful activity. But it isn't. In Israel a preposterous   
   figure like Noa Tishbi has become the heroine of the moment. The   
   fatuous attack on Benny Gantz, who attended a party in her honor in   
   the home of bereaved father Eyal Waldman and was photographed smiling,   
   a glass in one hand and Tishbi in the other, missed the point.   
      
   The point is that deceivers are turned into heroes here. Browsing   
   through Tishbi's X account will make you puke. Natalie Dadon, but with   
   Hollywood stardust, new age, hugs, tears and Colgate smiles, kitsch   
   and death straight from the area near the Gazan border. The Jewish   
   nation is the indigenous people in Israel, we're from here, says the   
   woman who migrated away from here. The moment she landed in Ben Gurion   
   Airport she had to run for shelter, filming herself of course to make   
   the heart of every "friend of Israel" tremble and bring them to tears.   
   And the jewelry, oh the jewelry on Tishbi: two Stars of David, not   
   one, just to make sure; a Chai necklace and a   
   from-the-river-to-the-sea map, all in gold. A quarter of a million   
   followers. Hanukkah is a Zionist holiday. Tel Aviv is a city under   
   attack. "You have to imagine what the Middle East will look like after   
   Hamas is defeated," she tells Piers Morgan of TalkTV.   
      
   Want to know what the Middle East will look like? Gaza destroyed to   
   the ground, two million homeless people and opposite them, also   
   scarred and beaten, an apartheid state, which Tishbi hasn't even heard   
   of.
