Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Photo of baby injured in Iraq in 2017 used to claim Israel is committing atrocities now

Nov 19, 2019 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

No real atrocities, so atrocities have to be invented. The “Palestinians” have been doing this for decades, with eager help from the establishment media that passes on their fictions as fact. Read about the “Palestinian” victimhood propaganda industry in The Palestinian Delusion: The Catastrophic History of the Middle East Peace Process.

“FAKE ALERT: Fake news spread under #StopIsraeliTerror hashtag on Twitter,” Times of India, November 15, 2019:

Hashtag #StopIsraeliTerror was trending on top on Twitter in India yesterday. Tweeting under this hashtag, a Twitter user by the name of ‘Mo.Riyaz’ shared an image of an injured baby to imply that the infant was injured by the Israel Army, recently.

Highlights

  1. Fake news and fake pictures are being shared under hashtags #StopIsraeliTerror and #IsraeliCrimes on Twitter.
  2. Israel’s recent action against Palestine sponsored terrorism is being criticized by some fake news peddlers.

CLAIM 1

Hashtag #StopIsraeliTerror was trending on top on Twitter in India yesterday.Tweeting under this hashtag, a Twitter user by the name of ‘Mo.Riyaz’ shared an image of an injured baby to imply that the infant was injured by the Israel Army, recently.

TRUTH AND VERIFICATION
The claim is false. The baby in this picture was not injured by the Israeli Army. The image is of an injured infant from Mosul, Iraq and is over two years old.

Using reverse-image search on Google, we found a tweet dated April 24, 2017, from the verified handle of MSF (Médecins Sans Frontières) India which posted the same image saying that this baby, severely injured, was rescued from Mosul and that she was the only surviving member of her family.

The image was also used in a report titled ‘After the battle: The unfolding of a disaster’ published by msf.org on July 11, 2018.

The report talks about military offensive led by an alliance of the Iraqi security forces and an international coalition to retake Mosul, Iraq’s second biggest city. In this article, the image is shared and credited to some Javier Rius Trigueros.

VERDICT
Times Fact Check has found that image of an injured baby from Mosul is being falsely shared as one injured by Israeli Army recently…

    There is no lie too big to tell for satan and his demon children.

    The poor baby suffered this because moslims wish to take over the world for their fake ‘god.’ Now, she is being used as a tool of satan to encourage hate and anger against those who would be treating her wounds, not adding to them.

      Shame on somehistory … Muslims are humans who, very sadly, have the wrong information. Many Muslims abandon Islam every day. DO NOT DEMONIZE ANYONE. Your ideology was condemned and punished at Nuremberg.

      • somehistory says

        Nov 19, 2019 at 9:34 am

        Lot of shame on mortimer because he constantly defends moslims and their demonic behavior. Just as h clinton said would be possible with Americans, he tries that on this site, even to the use of the word “shame.”

        Jesus said that those who lie, commit murder, etc. are **children** of the devil, when He said, “You are from your father the devil and you wish to do the desires of your father. He is the father of the lie and does not stand fast in the truth. that one was a murderer when he began.”

        Jesus called them “snakes, vipers, and the ***offspring*** of serpents.”

        If one acts like satan, lies like satan, copies satan, listens to satan, worships satan, then that one is a child of satan.

        And your claims that anyone who points out the demonic source of what moslims do and believe are like those who were “condemned at Nuremberg, is not only false (as in a big fat lie), but really tiresome and getting really, really old.

        If that were to be true, then Jesus would be condemned at Nuremberg. Knowing the way the world works sometimes, this might be the case. But not because He was wrong.

        And niether am I.

        And shame on those who continue to assert that theirs is the one true religion: on this site.
        Christianity is but one of thousands of religions.
        This site’s purpose is Jihad watch.

          Got that right. I have been hammered for being a Pagan on this site despite my people being pretty high on Jihadi’s shit list.
          We are here to try and stop nut jobs from taking over the world, not fight among ourselves!

        • PRCS says

          Nov 19, 2019 at 6:41 pm

          As an atheist, I haven’t personally been hammered for that here, but a few posters have encouraged me to ‘have a place in my heart’ for Jesus.

          Posters may believe as they wish, of course, but the ongoing proselytizing does not benefit this site’s purpose.

          Bottom line for those folks:
          One need not affiliate with ANY religion to understand the threat Islam poses to ALL ‘unbelievers’–the world over.

          Enjoy your day.

        pretty close to the truth there.

        Mortimer, lying to slander Jews is far worse than just “having the wrong information”. Why should Somehistory be ashamed for condemning this?

      • gravenimage says

        Nov 19, 2019 at 10:42 pm

        Also, the implication that Somehistory is a Nazi for noting that this is a lie and that this baby is being used to gin up anger against Jews is *just bizarre*. How is telling the truth Fascism that should be punished? Mortimer you owe her an apology.

    I’m shocked … shocked … well, not so shocked. TAQIYYA is normative Islam, rather than an aberration.

    Sharia law says about lying to DIRTY KAFIRS:

    “When it is possible to achieve an AIM (e.g. sympathy for Pally terrorists) by lying but not by telling the truth, it is PERMISSIBLE TO LIE if attaining the goal is permissible, and LYING IS OBLIGATORY if the goal is obligatory.”
    – (Reliance of the Traveler, Para r8.2) Examples include lying to protect Islam or a Muslim.

    – “Taqiyya permeates almost all the activities and dealings of Muslims with non-Muslim societies…” – a former sheikh Sam Solomon

    Children..

    “The Kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these”
    Matthew 19 v 15

    Imagine if Hindu,Buddhist,pagan,Christian,Jewish,muslim children are all playing together{as it really should be}

    What would muhammed see?
    muslims and non-muslim infidels mixing

    What would Jesus Christ see?
    Children

    Perhaps Buttigieg can use that picture in one of his campaign flyers.

    Yup – sums it up nicely.

    Photo of baby injured in Iraq in 2017 used to claim Israel is committing atrocities now
    ……………

    How many times have Muslims done something like this? This baby was injured by other Muslims, not Jews.

    Muslims have even used pictures of Jewish victims during the Holocaust and pretended they were pictures of Muslims.

    This is more “Pallywood”.

    So sad so many people fall for Islamic deception. Stupid infidels don’t even know they’re infidels.

    The term “Palestine” is an old Roman lie, but Arabs as “PaIestinians” – that’s the biggest deception in mankind history! Who are these people really, where did they come from, when and under what circumstances – in this article:
