This is Palestinian Islam > You can't believe a word they say!

Lying  is a way of life with radicalized Muslims. The Bible calls Satan the Father of Lies. In Islam, they call him Allah. 


The Girl With Six Identities

New in PJ Media:

Since Oct. 7, the public has been inundated with allegations of Israeli atrocities and human rights abuses. Israel, we’re told, is committing a “genocide” in Gaza, and, in fact, has been through all the years in which the Gazan population has grown steadily. The strange story of one young woman, or really, one photograph, is an object lesson in why such claims of Israeli evils should be taken with a large grain of salt.

On X, a poster who identifies herself as Hagit on Sunday posted a highly illuminating thread about a girl with “6 different identities,” and “all of them suffered from the IDF!” This is, said Hagit, “proof of how the Arab media blatantly lies regarding the ‘crimes of the occupation.” Is it really? Let’s see.

Back on June 2, 2016, the Arabic-language Palestine News Network published an article about a child prisoner, Salwa Taqaqta, who had been arrested “under the pretext that she was carrying a knife,” and to whom the Israelis were refusing to grant early release, despite the fact that she was only fourteen years old. Accompanying the article was a photo (below) of a girl, presumably Salwa Taqaqta, surrounded by soldiers. She is wearing a hijab, kneeling on the ground, blindfolded and with her hands cuffed behind her.

Adding to the impression that this was not simply a stock image is the fact that on June 28, 2016, another Arabic source, Wattan.net, published an article about a “minor prisoner, Salwa Taqaqta (13 years old), from the town of Beit Fajjar, Bethlehem District,” whom the Israelis had sentenced to four and a half months in prison. Accompanying that article was the same photo of a hijabed girl kneeling handcuffed and blindfolded.

Then on Feb. 5, 2017, the Palestine Chronicle reported that an Israeli court had “sentenced a teenage Palestinian girl from Silwan in occupied East Jerusalem to six years in prison after she was charged with knife possession and planning a stab attack.” She was identified as Manar Majdi Shweiki, and the article included a photo with the caption, “Manar Shweiki after her arrest.” It was, however, exactly the same photo that Palestine News Network and Wattan.net had used of Salwa Taqaqta.

The same photo showed up again on Sept. 23, 2018, when another Arabic source, Sebafm.net, reported that “the Israeli occupation forces arrested the child Tasnim Basem Maatouq (15 years old) from the town of Al-Eizariya, east of occupied Jerusalem, to force her brother to surrender himself to them. Then on Dec. 8, 2019, Felesteen News reported that Israeli forces “arrested the child Afnan Abu Sneina (14 years old), on her way to her school, at the ‘Abu Al-Rish’ checkpoint, claiming that she possessed a knife.” Once again, the same photo is supplied. The official Palestinian Authority news agency, WAFA, put out the same story with the same picture.

There is more. Read the rest here.
