Deri rejects Trump’s claim: “No one has visited Fordow yet”

Shas party chairman Aryeh Deri said in an interview with the “Kikar Hashabbat” website that “damage was certainly caused to Iran’s nuclear facilities,” and rejected the claim by US President Donald Trump that “people on behalf of Israel visited the Fordow facility.” Deri was asked what damage was caused to the Iranian nuclear program and whether there was enriched uranium inside the facilities, and replied: “No one knows for certain, because no one has visited there yet.“​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

#ynet is reporting the following:

Haifa Mayor Yona Yahav said following the strike that “two strategic points in the city were hit by the Iranians,” adding that “the destruction is great, and so is the miracle,” and called on residents to continue adhering to the guidelines.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

#Israel #Iran

#Ynet’s homepage is regularly adorned with gleeful chauvinism, racism and Islamophobia. Yesterday they celebrated #Iran’s diminished capabilities as a result of the “exceptional” work of the Israeli Air Force. However, today’s news headlines shift back to the price payed by Israel’s home front.

Headline: 129 injured in heavy barrage: 89 in Gush Dan, 40 in Be’er Sheva

Magen David Adom updated that 129 people were injured as a result of this morning’s heavy barrage from Iran: 89 in Gush Dan, where there were direct hits in #Holon and Ramat Gan, and 40 in Be’er Sheva - where #Soroka Hospital was hit.

Of the 89 injured in Gush Dan, three were seriously injured, two moderately injured, 40 lightly injured from shrapnel and blast waves, 31 were injured on their way to protected areas, and 13 are defined as anxiety casualties. They were evacuated to Sheba Tel Hashomer, Schneider, Beilinson, Ichilov, Assaf Harofeh, Wolfson, Meir, Ma’ayanei Hayeshua, Assuta Ashdod, and Barzilai hospitals.

All those injured in Be’er Sheva are in light condition.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

אחד הדברים המעניינים לגבי #ynet הוא הצצה לאורח המחשבה של עורכים שמנסים, בין השאר, לקלוע למכנה משותף רחב יותר.

אז הנה כתבה שמעודד לראות שם (כלומר: את הכותרת שהעורך נתן לה):

הפרזנטור של טורנדו בפוסט מזעזע על אהרן ברק: "לשרוף את נשמתו, שלא יהיה לו קבר"

https://www.ynet.co.il/news/article/s1zo6xnfex

כלומר: בעל הדעות ההזויות (ששמו מוכר, ולא הייתה בעיה להזכירו בשמו, מבחינה עובדתית) מוזכר כאן בהקשר ליחסה של חברה מסחרית אליו. זו הבעיה.

#Ynet’s misleading report:

Ynet headline states an IDF force accidentally shot in the direction of the visiting mission.

The purpose of the mission’s visit, checking humanitarian conditions, is not mentioned.

The report is comprised almost entirely of the IDF’s spokesoffice version of the event. Including description of Jenin as a terrorist hub, which I’m guessing is supposed to justify the IDF shooting at foreign diplomats conducting a visit the IDF authorized. 🧐

That’s why Israel is described as a pariah state, I guess.

#Palestine / Israeli Politician Golan: Israel "Kills Babies as a Hobby" in Gaza

Appearing to accuse Israel of "killing babies as a hobby" ("הרג תינוקות כתחביב") and conducting warfare against civilians, Israeli opposition leader and Democrats party chairman Yair Golan has warned that Israel risks becoming "an outcast nation among nations" similar to apartheid-era South Africa if it doesn't change course.

In his statement, Golan emphasized that a "sane country does not conduct warfare against civilians" and criticized the current approach to the Gaza conflict.

The former IDF general differentiated between Israel's military personnel and political leadership, praising soldiers as "heroic" while characterizing government ministers as pursuing dangerous policies. Golan called for Israel to reaffirm its identity as a "Zionist, Jewish and democratic state" while advocating for an end to the fighting, the return of hostages, and the beginning of rehabilitation efforts.

Ironically, #Ynet is reporting that among the critics was also #Herzog, who'll forever be remembered for autographing a bomb to be dropped on Gaza and doing exactly what Golan warns against, claiming that Golan's words are a "serious and false defamation of IDF soldiers."

#GazaGenocide / That Herzog?

#Ynet is reporting that Israeli President Herzog’s and his wife will lead the 37th annual "March of the Living," which will take place between #Auschwitz and #Birkenau this Thursday.

Israel's Herzog participation in the Holocaust memorial is clearly deeply hypocritical given his actions and statements. His rhetoric attributing collective blame for #Hamas’s actions to all Palestinians—a statement cited by the International Court of Justice—stands in contrast to the solemnity of commemorating the systematic extermination of Jews during the #Holocaust.

[...] What statesmanship is there in the signing of a lethal munition which, in the eyes of the world, represents Israel’s greatest sin in this war – sowing devastation in Gaza and killing innocents. --- Netta Ahituv wrote Haaretz.

The widely publicized image of Herzog signing a bomb shell intended for use in Gaza, an act condemned as indicative of genocidal intent, underscores a disturbing disconnect between remembering past atrocities while contributing to the suffering of civilians in #Gaza, where over 50,000 people, predominantly women and children, have been murdered so far by the #IDF.

#Palestine / Happy #Passover !

See how #Israeli media is sharing photos of IDF soldiers in active duty in #Gaza, with faces obscured to hide their identities as they likely commit war crimes.

I’m pretty sure #ynet has published more stories about rescued animals than about the women and children Israel has been slaughtering since the start of the war, using bombs supplied by #Biden and #Trump.

[cont'd] according to a report on #Ynet 10% of the signatories are in active duty.

Among others, the letter was signed by retired IDF Chief of Staff Dan Halutz, retired Major General Nimrod Shefer, retired Brigadier General Asaf Agmon, retired Major General Gil Regev, retired Brigadier General Relik Shafir, and retired Brigadier General Amir Haskel.

#Palestine / Macron: We will recognize a Palestinian state

A news brief on #Ynet (AFP) says French President Emmanuel Macron announced that France will recognize a Palestinian state in June during a conference to be held with Saudi Arabia in New York. "We must move forward toward recognition, and therefore in the coming months we will do so," he said.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

[cont’d] Same incident reported in #Haaretz:

Headline

Palestinian woman shot dead in the West Bank after throwing stones at Israeli vehicles; IDF: She tried to stab soldiers

Text

A Palestinian woman threw stones at IDF forces and Israeli vehicles at the Giti Avishar junction in the West Bank and was shot dead. The IDF reported that she also tried to stab soldiers at the scene before she was shot, and that no additional people were injured.

1. Haaretz correctly identifies her as a "Palestinian woman" rather than a "female terrorist"

2. The report directly states she was "shot dead" rather than using the term "neutralized" (terminology #Ynet used intentionally and regularly to broadcast an imminent threat justifying the killing)

3. The report presents the stabbing attempt as an IDF claim ("IDF: She tried to stab soldiers") rather than a confirmed fact

4. Ynet's headline emphasized the knife being found in her possession, while Haaretz includes the stabbing attempt as an IDF statement in the context of the report

Hebrew https://www.haaretz.co.il/news/politics/war-2023/2025-04-08/ty-article-live/00000196-1216-d23b-aff6-5b16270f0000?liveBlogItemId=1897304627#1897304627 or https://archive.is/JOwGB

Terrorism according to Israeli media, #Ynet.

When not busy scavenging stories from social media about #antisemitism for their rolling coverage titled "wave of antisemitism" (mostly ultra-orthodox Jews complaining about not getting something they felt entitled to), Ynet is "reporting" (IDF briefings) about terrorist activities, including children and women throwing stones at unsuspecting, fragile soldiers who are left with no choice other than to “neutralize” them.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The text in Hebrew says:

Fighters neutralized a female terrorist who was throwing stones in the Shomron, a knife was found in her possession.

IDF forces neutralized a female terrorist who was throwing stones at the Giti Avishar junction in Shomron. During the search, a knife was found in her possession.

(Elisha Ben Kimon)

This is not the definition of terrorist or terrorism. Yet Ynet is regularly choosing to use the term “מחבל" (terrorist) to describe Palestinians. The labeling of stone-throwing as terrorism and the individual as a terrorist represents a particular narrative about resistance activities in the occupied territories.​​​​​​​​​​​ The report also emphasizes that a knife was found in her possession after the fact, which serves to further justify the characterization and response.

@ayoub btw most Israeli news outlets, which lack direct access or reporters near the events being covered, typically take foreign media reports and layer them with editorial content and IDF/Foreign Ministry talking points. In sites like #Ynet, #IDF denials are often inserted in the middle of reports, while any claims refuting these denials are placed in quotation marks. Phrases like "according to Palestinian sources" are commonly used to cast doubt on reports, effectively framing victim accounts as untrustworthy.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ same practice I guess but less “subtle”.

Waiting for #Ynet’s report on this. Nothing so far. I guess they’re either busy scraping “antisemitism” stories off social media, or waiting for #IDF spokesperson’s/Ministry of Foreign Affairs talking points …

[cont'd] Quoting Ariel Muzicant (European Jewish Congress President): "The motivation of extreme right politicians to come to this conference is not the love for Israel or to protect the Jews, but mainly to get a kosher rabbi stamp,"

European Jewish Congress President Ariel Muzicant has strongly condemned Israeli "Diaspora Affairs" Minister Amichai Chikli for inviting far-right European politicians to an anti-#antisemitism conference, calling it "a stab in the back" to Jewish communities.

According to (right-wing) #JerusalemPost report, prominent Jewish leaders including UK Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis have withdrawn from the March 26-27 event over the inclusion of figures like Jordan #Bardella from #France's National Rally and representatives from parties with histories of antisemitism.

"The motivation of extreme right politicians to come to this conference is not the love for Israel or to protect the Jews, but mainly to get a kosher rabbi stamp," Muzicant wrote, warning that far-right movements often oppose values essential for Jewish survival in Europe.

https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-846447

According to (center-right) #Ynet, Muzicant stated that the four largest Jewish organizations in the world – #AJC, #EJC, #WJC, and #CER (the World, European, American Jewish organizations, and the Conference of European Rabbis) – will also boycott the conference.

[cont’d] Ynet’s report (Itamar Eichner editorializing news agencies reports, with the help of Moran Azoulay):

Unlike the #Haaretz article, which provided more detailed descriptions of the allegations and evidence while still including Israeli responses, the #Ynet article primarily functions as a platform for official Israeli denials while minimizing the substantive content of the UN report itself.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Very typical editorialized “reporting” in ynet includes:

Delegitimization through quotation marks: the article places quotation marks around terms like "experts" ("מומחים") when referring to the #UN investigators, suggesting their expertise is questionable.

Focus on Israeli responses: approximately half the article is dedicated to Israeli officials' responses, including extensive quotes from #Netanyahu and #Gantz, while providing minimal details about the actual findings.

Emphasis on committee bias: the article repeatedly emphasizes the alleged anti-Israel bias of the Human Rights Council without engaging with the substance of the evidence presented.

Contextual redirection: the article redirects attention to #Hamas's October 7 attacks and alleged sexual violence, implying a false equivalence and shifting focus away from examining the specific allegations against Israeli forces.

Ad hominem approach: rather than addressing the methodology or evidence presented in the report, the article focuses on criticizing committee chair Navi Pillay as "anti-Israeli" ("אנטי-ישראלית").

Also missing:

Specific evidence: Ynet omits almost all references to the evidence presented in the UN report, particularly the approximately twenty videos and photographs documenting alleged abuses. There is no mention of specific video evidence, such as the Telegram channel footage from Ofer prison.

Detailed testimonies: the article excludes the specific testimonies from victims that were central to the UN report, including accounts of physical sexual assault, threats of rape, and the specific question reportedly asked by a soldier: "How do you want us to be raped? One by one or all together?"

Ran Poslushni, a reserve sergeant major and resident of Kibbutz Nahal Oz, was killed by #IDF forces on October 7th. He was mistakenly identified as a combatant and was shot at his home. The IDF admitted to this tragic error to the kibbutz residents during a presentation of the investigation into the events.

#Palestine / Israeli news site #Ynet outraged Sky News mentions that four Palestinian “prisoners” released by Israel are in critical condition

https://news.sky.com/story/gaza-hostage-release-israel-hamas-prisoners-palestinian-latest-sky-news-live-12978800?postid=9109298#liveblog-body

In another item, labeling released Palestinians as “terrorists”, without being specific about charges, Ynet reported that the Prison Service changed the clothing of the detainees being released, dressing them in tracksuits with a Star of David and the Prison Service logo, alongside the text: "We will not forget and we will not forgive."

In some of the previous phases, the detainees were made to wear bracelets with the Prison Service’s text—and in addition, they were shown a film about the destruction in the Gaza Strip.
