A kind of escalation is undermining the pacification efforts: Israel is shelling Baalbek for the second time within hours and "Hezbollah" is firing rockets at military positions.
It is disappointing that citizens in Israel consume the lies and Palestinian propaganda on some of these channels, it is known that Al-Gazira, for example, in the Arabic language is watched with high viewing percentages, even though here in Israel they speak and understand the Hebrew language and can watch the Israeli channels.
In these channels, the information is usually against Israel even in the smallest nuances, for example, our IDF is mentioned in the text of the presenters and the reporters use: Al Dachsh al Ikhtil (Occupation Army) on October 7, for example, which in our country is mentioned as the worst massacre in the country's history of women, children and teenagers who came to dance with them as a military achievement, the terrorists that the IDF destroys are often ignored in order not to harm consciousness in the war with the IDF and on the other hand they often routinely show close-up photographs mainly of injured children and babies who were accidentally injured during the war and those media whose credibility is also low have a great influence on public opinion in the world
What exactly will we do with this information?
What to our local and what you send here that can be read and seen on all the news channels and web sites?
