Hasbara: Israel's propaganda dark arts or Israel's International diplomacy.
For once, they have not questioned the veracity of the video — The Guardian
Tomer-Yerushalmi has now been arrested on suspicion of fraud and breach of trust, abuse of office, obstruction of justice, and disclosure of official information by a public servant, Israeli media reported.
In other words, she refused to be part of the cover-up. Remind you of the Post 9-11 US Wars? At least one of the architects is no longer with us.
Netanyahu's Government Pounces on the IDF Video Controversy, Israelis Should Remember What It's About: Crimes, Not the Leak -Haaretz
Even in the imaginary world of Israel's government, in which appearances and narratives carry more weight than reality does, the leaking of the Sde Teiman video is not "perhaps the most severe hasbara attack" in the history of the state, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it.
For the past two years the world has witnessed evidence of war crimes, including ones that Israel Defense Forces soldiers recorded and posted on TikTok, and more evidence of what is taking place behind the walls of the Israeli Guantanamo Bay will appear in the international media in the wake of the release of Palestinian detainees in accordance with the cease-fire deal.
The video's influence on the level of Israeli hasbara, or public diplomacy, is therefore negligible.
However, in Netanyahu’s world, any refusal to cover up rates him howling at the wind.
In a saner place, where hasbara and images are secondary to the reality of life, death and suffering, it's of course in poor taste for the person responsible for the greatest actual terror attack in Israel's history to talk about a "hasbara attack."
Stop looking behind the curtain!
Justice Minister Yariv Levin's predictable exploitation of the affair to attack the attorney general once again is further proof that this is the main thing on the government's mind.
What is the government's view?
We are the victims!
For fucks sake, this is always the get out of jail free card attempted by right-wing loons everywhere.
