Brazen Israel: Lie… Kill… Lie

What has been happening in the Middle East for more than two years is not just a war, but a global test revealing the stark contradiction between the world’s moral discourse and what it actually allows to happen on the ground. Massacres, widespread destruction, and the displacement of hundreds of thousands all unfold in front of the world’s cameras, yet Israel pays no political or legal price commensurate with the scale of its violations.

Lie after lie

Even though the digital age has turned every scene into verifiable documentation, Israel has developed a different way of dealing with this reality: instead of trying to hide the facts, it focuses on influencing how they are interpreted. This makes Gaza and Lebanon today models of a new strategy in war management, based on mixing narratives, undermining credibility, and dismantling any possibility of forming a unified global opinion.

The ongoing attacks on the United Nations and its agencies are not a minor detail in this picture. When UNRWA is politically targeted and its reputation smeared, the last institutions capable of providing a reliable narrative from the field retreat. Once every source becomes “suspect,” alternative narratives can be passed off that turn truth into opinion, equating victim and perpetrator.

This is what Israel does continuously. It inundates everyone with counterclaims, keeping audiences constantly exhausted. An image of a hungry child can immediately be met with claims that the image is “old,” “from another country,” or “fabricated.” When hunger becomes an undeniable fact, medical narratives are presented. When mass graves appear, responsibility is attributed to another party. The goal is not to convince, but to confuse. The scene is completed by blaming the victim: repeated references to the use of “human shields” justify bombing schools, hospitals, and shelters. Once any civilian facility is labeled a “military site,” the line between civilian and combatant disappears in official discourse, allowing military operations to continue unimpeded.

Lie again and again

Meanwhile, Israel consistently presents itself as a party threatened with extinction. This discourse, invoking existential fear, is directed not only internally but also toward the West, linking the wars in Gaza and Lebanon to Western security imaginaries that justify “harsh measures” in the fight against “terrorism.”

Yet the most important aspect is what happens after each major massacre. Initially, global public opinion erupts in outrage, then the public relations machinery starts working: ready narratives, alternative interpretations, and mutual accusations. After the wave of anger subsides, military operations resume as before. This pattern has been repeated dozens of times, from bombing schools to aid queues.

A deep moral crisis

The most dangerous aspect of all this is that these events cannot be separated from the political and military cover provided by Western countries to Israel. Unconditional support, whether in the Security Council or through arms deals, is what makes this strategy sustainable. In other words, the problem is no longer just an “Israeli narrative,” but an international system that allows this narrative to be produced and protects its outcomes.

In this sense, Gaza and Lebanon are not only battlefields but mirrors reflecting a global moral crisis. Even though every crime can now be documented within minutes, that is no longer enough to stop them. The real challenge today is not uncovering the truth, but changing the political structures that allow the truth to be ignored. What we are seeing today is a clear announcement: knowledge alone does not stop wars. But exposing the mechanisms Israel uses to manipulate narratives may be a first step toward reshaping a global debate that has remained silent far too long.
