In a perhaps futile attempt to combat Hamas’s lies, Israel’s Foreign Ministry and the Consulate General of Israel in New York launched a “hasbarah” campaign in New York�s Times Square on Monday
Hamas’s recently published psychological terrorism video of emaciated hostage Evyatar David is being displayed on a large screen, along with captions stating, “Ignored by the media too busy echoing Hamas propaganda” and �Hamas is starving the Israeli hostages.�
Hamas also recently published a video of hostage Rom Braslavki, who also appears emaciated and frail. His images are not part of the campaign, likely because his family did not grant permission for the initiative.
�This is what real hunger looks like,” said Ofir Akunis, the Israeli consul general in New York. �Evyatar David is being starved by a Nazi terrorist organization that dares, with the backing of parts of the media, to spread the blood libel that Israel is starving the people of Gaza.�
�We will continue to expose, everywhere and at all times, the lies of these vile terrorists and their collaborators,” Akunis asserted.
