“The Prophet said, ‘War is deceit.’” (Bukhari 4.52.269) Deceit abounds regarding the “Palestinian” jihad. There are not just stories such as this one, but fake stories of IDF atrocities as well. Find out about the persistence and sophistication of the “Palestinian” atrocity factory in The Palestinian Delusion.
“Fact Check: Gripping story of Israeli soldier’s conversion to Islam goes viral, but it’s fake,” by Jyoti Dwivedi, India Today, June 10, 2021 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
After weeks of clashes with Israeli forces, Palestine has seen relative calm over the past few days. Sentiments, however, are still high over the clashes at Al-Aqsa mosque last month that left scores injured. The mosque in Jerusalem is of much significance in Islam.
Now, a picture of a woman in uniform is circulating on social media with the claim that she was part of the “attack” on worshippers at Al-Aqsa mosque. The claim further says that upon realising her mistake, she has converted to Islam.
“Breaking News: This Israeli soldier attacked worshippers inside Al-Aqsa mosque along with her comrades. Today, this brave has suddenly converted to Islam. This is the top news in Palestine. Alhamdulillah! Islam shall win!” says the caption in Hindi.

India Today Anti Fake News War Room (AFWA) reached out to the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) regarding the viral claim. Responding to our email, an IDF spokesperson said the girl in the picture is serving in the force as a field observer. She is a Jew and claims of her conversion are totally baseless.
WHO IS THE GIRL?
A reverse search of the viral picture led us to the IDF’s Instagram page. Here, the picture was shared on April 29, 2021, with the caption, “All the way from the Golan Heights in northern Israel, Sgt. Adi is a field observer who serves right near her hometown.”“My birthplace has become the operational area that I’m responsible for guarding. To identify anything that poses a threat to Israel makes me proud to be an IDF soldier,” the post quotes her.
The same picture and quote were posted on the IDF’s official Facebook page too. This confirms that the girl is indeed an Israeli soldier.
An IDF representative told AFWA that the girl in the viral picture is Sergeant Adi Azulai, a field observer with the force’s 595th battalion. Rubbishing claims of her conversion, the spokesperson added that she is still a Jew, and second, she wasn’t part of the clashes at Al-Aqsa….

Robert Spencer correctly identifies and exposes the “Palestinian atrocity factory” which invents imagined atrocities and covers up their own real ones. The Pallies intentionally place their own families in harm’s way. The Pallies lack any sense of military ‘PROFESSIONALISM’. They are a raging, undisciplined, amateur rabble.
Unlike the IDF which has highly professional officers and soldiers, Hamas and other Pally terrorists are mainly amateurs with a bit of training. They probably did not study international protocols of lawful warfare and couldn’t care less about them.
Every time the Pally terrorists talk, they expose their own stunning lack military ethics. The IDF is considered one of the most ethical, if not THE most ethical profesional military body in the world.

It is funny that the message is in Hindi. That means, either some dumb moslems from India were gloating over the fake news, or they were trying to spread the fake news as a part of a targeted campaign.
Infidel says
Yeah, they could have at least written that fake message in Urdu, which is written in the same Nastaliq script and which only one who knew both Arabic and Urdu could tell the difference

It’s only five lines long! How much information can it contain?
Infidel says
All it said was what the above article said
Those are the 5 lines

Yep–I just translated it via Google Translate.

The statement was kept short due to the very short attention span of the idiots it was targeting.
Also, when information is vague then it becomes far harder to pull the lies apart.
I believe there was a good chance this originated in a Hamas “think tank” and is being used as propaganda for a recruiting drive.
After getting their asses whopped by the IDF, they are now clutching at straws to try and bolster their own reputation.

I remember muslims claiming Neil Armstrong converted to islam..
Yawn..

And as “proof” Muslims offered that after his retirement he ‘went to a Muslim country’.
The truth was that he returned to his home town: Lebanon, Ohio.
RegT says
I remember someone claiming John Brennan, former director of the CIA, converted to islam. Oh, sh*t, he DID! It was the whole child-marriage/Microsoft thing, wasn’t it?

Viral story of Israeli soldier’s conversion to Islam turns out to be fake

……………..
So the entire thing is a lie. Gee–what a surprise…sarc/off
Good for India Today for exposing this bs.

Imran Khan is doing what he is getting paid to. Drumming up Islamophobia is a global agenda and some deep-pocket or deep-state is paying him to jump up and down in his sultry, smelly underwear and scream on top of his lungs…”moslems are under attack…jihad jihad …ala-u-akabaar” — the only skill he seems to have.
Andrew Blackadder says
The fact that some muslim website would create such an obvious lie of a story without taking into consideration that such things are so easy to check out, tells me just how amazingly stupid such people are to send stuff like this out into the World as if it were true.
Im just glad I was not born into this evil Fascit Religious Cult.

Yep. Of course, some do leave–not enough, though…
