EVERY single Palestinian "supposed prisoner" in Israel (not a hostage). According to the white press.

Why do we call Israeli prisoners hostages.........the Zionists have thousands of Palestinian PRISONERS (not hostages).

I watched many videos of the release of Palestinian prisoners. They were dressed in grey/huge clothes. WHY?

IF you look closer these prisoners were emaciated/starved! In this grey 'running attire' covered up their wounds.

I saw one prisoner released: why was he wearing black gloves on his hands? Was he tortured?

Shitrahell does not deserve to survive for as long as it survives there will be chaos, death and destruction in the region and beyond. For the past 76 years the Talmudic Nazi entity, with the enthusiastic, hypocritical help of its Western "friends", has been the source of 99% of the trouble.

This has been the most uplifting stack of yours that I've read to date.

I'm still too scared to hope though. I don't trust my government and obviously I don't trust Israel.

I'm amazed no-one does a like for like gallery of how each of the released from each side compare.

Also the lady involved in the red jacket in all 3 exchanges must have balls of steel.

Over the course of many decades, Zionist propaganda (hasbara) has been hugely successful in burnishing the image of the settler-colony. They are now conclusively losing the battle in the realm of global public opinion. Good!

There's also a hilarious story where the hasbra bot went rouge, challenged official Israeli Twitter accounts & called IDF white colonizers.. it's a hoot first good AI.. enjoy!! :~)

Hasbara Hitch: Pro-Israel Social Media Bot Goes Rogue, Calls IDF Soldiers 'White Colonizers in Apartheid Israel'. Omer BenjakobJan 29, 2025 6:15 pm IST

The AI-powered bot criticized the same social media accounts it was meant to promote, even going so far as to deny the murder of an Israeli family on October 7 and blame Israel for the U.S. plan to ban TikTok

An automated social media profile developed to harness the powers of artificial intelligence to promote Israel's cause online is also pushing out blatantly false information, including anti-Israel misinformation in an ironic yet concerning example of the risks of using the new generative technologies for political ends.

The hasbara bot did not go rouge (= red, in French) but went rogue.

Yesterday I about read a satirical piece about the rogue bot but I didn't realize there was such a large kernel of truth in it. https://www.normalisland.co.uk/p/awkward-scenes-as-israels-propaganda

The pictures couldn't speak louder: healthy, smiling Israeli "hostages" exchanged for Palestinian political prisoners who look like they've just been liberated from Auschwitz!

It was a multi pronged, very efficient, detailed, precisely choreographed, expertly acted and staged, filmed and executed propaganda masterpiece for the hostage handover in Khan Younis.

An absolute show of organisation, unity, power and propaganda.

Israel has thrown literally everything at Hamas and Islamic Jihad and they are still here, maybe stronger than ever.

Sinwar’s bombed out home. 

Hamas and Islamic Jihad standing side by side, freely

mixing, united, wearing trophy body armour and helmets, brandishing battle won guns, creating, staging and carrying out the deliberately mobbed hostage walk.

The noise, the crush, the drama, the dust, the chaos.

It was all aimed at all Arabs everywhere.

It was aimed at the west everywhere.

It was definitely aimed at Bibi and gang and all Zionists everywhere.

We are here,

we are not going anywhere, FU all.

All the young Palestinians watching and joining the crush, a mass recruiting event.  

All set against the backdrop of hellscape created by Israel in Gaza.

If I was an Israeli watching I would be very afraid of what I saw.

The resilience, determination and toughness on display is astonishing.

Given the chance Palestinians have surged back to reclaim the complete ruin of north Gaza. Their right of return has been exercised in full.

This is a fight to the death, unfortunately.

What is Israel’s next move?

When does the mass killing start again?

Thank you, Jane. Glad you enjoyed it.

Oh, there was some more fantastic scenes from today's handover of the Zionist prisoners. Looking at the response to this piece, I might just do a story on today's scenes as well.

Plus, I have plenty more unique stories lined up. Stay tuned!

They are demonstrating their intellectual superiority to their occupiers. No wonder Israelis seek to annihilate them, they can't handle the humiliation.

Really appreciate this analysis with the many examples and explainers i.e. symbolism of the altered Zionist brigades' insignia. I look forward to each time you publish, because I always learn something.

I feel so much admiration and respect for the Palestinian Resistance. The contrast between the two sets of hostages could not be more striking and says it all. I know the NYT called it all "theatre" and lied making the condition of the Gazan hostages and Israeli held Palestinian "prisoners" (hostages) sound equal (ie. the Israeli hostages held in Gaza looked "emaciated"! Really? And then a similar word for the Palestinian hostages. Nothing about the brutality they suffered. The Corporate NYT mantra of "Even Steven" is a black lie of the first order) and completely written from the Israeli perspective. But I so hope your reporting and this kind of excellent footage and contextualizing expands via other free lance journalists, Al Jazeera et.al. and goes all around the whole world! The Gazans/Palestinians are such a beautiful, strong and honorable people! Thank you so very much for this. It does my heart good.

Thank you Liana. I am glad you find some solace and hope in my writing during these dark times. Can't thank you enough for your thoughtful comments on my work.

I utterly despise The New York Times with every fibre of my being. It is an imperial mouthpiece that pushes every deranged story the empire wants to it to publish. However, the thing that really irks me is that so many of its readers are so oblivious to its agenda which isn't even a mystery. It's utterly baffling that people find it's deranged verbiage respectable and a voice of reason.

I have written about the NYT's disgusting historical record here:

https://open.substack.com/pub/palestinewillbefree/p/how-the-new-york-times-runs-american-propaganda

Satirised its despicable Gaza coverage here: https://palestinewillbefree.substack.com/p/the-creative-writers-of-the-new-york-times

And another satire about the kind of brainwashed supposed-jouralists who work at NYT here:

Hope you enjoy these pieces whenever you find time to read.

"israel" has lost the conflict in Palestine, despite their success in destroying buildings that cannot fight back. In essence, one could argue that the United States has also faced defeat in another conflict. How many conflicts does this make now, or put to it another way, has the US won any conflicts at all in the last 60 years or so?

Te media in the US and Europe are mainly avoiding these damning facts. Look at the front pages, the pictures accompanying articles and the articled themselves. They rarely SHOW this and they certainly dont SAY it.
