  In the year 2023, sifting through the barrage of conflicting media reports from biased sources juxtaposed against one another in an all out information war makes arriving at the truth all but impossible. As if that political climate isn’t hard enough to deal with to begin, the dilemma it presents is exponentially amplified when placed into the crucible of one of the most polarized geopolitical issues in modern history between Israel and Palestine. As such, the intensity of the propaganda emanating from each side conveys the increased diligence needed to separate fact from fiction at a time where emotion reactions are driving people’s perceptions.

  Given that backdrop, the recent claim from the Israeli Defense Forces that it uncovered a decapitation of women and infants by Hamas during its assault on the Kfar Aza kibbutz just 5 miles east of Gaza has been met with as much skepticism as outrage. In the wake of calls to bring clarity to dismiss the doubts about the horrific claim, comments from IDF spokesman Major Nir Dinar succinctly summarized the echo chamber dynamic that has led to supporters of Israel’s cause accepting the report without any evidence. The IDF spokesperson boldly declared that the Israeli military won’t seek further evidence backing up its claim about the mass infanticide it asserts was perpetrated by the terrorist group Hamas because doing so would be “disrespectful for the dead.”

  It was Dinar himself that first confirmed the reports made to journalist Nicole Zedeck of Israeli news outlet i24News. Zedeck took to her account on X to elucidate her report by stating she had based it on statements made by IDF soldiers directly to her. The rationale she gave about her sources was echoed by Dinar, who like Zedeck did not acknowledge seeing and first hand evidence of the claim, instead deferring to the statements made by IDF soldiers who responded to the massacre at the kibbutz. When asked about whether or not he had seen any photographic or videographic evidence of the beheadings, Dinar said he had not and that his rationale on the veracity of the report was that “soldiers on the ground who are there told me this.”
