00:00:10Tonight on expose, three years after October 7, the headlines
00:00:14remain, but so do the
00:00:17of contradictions. We follow the trail across the electronic intifada, haered, the tayo,
00:00:21TRTX and the T network, examining claims that helped
00:00:25shape the narrative October 7 and the war that followed. We
00:00:29revisit. digital reporting on allegations of sexual violence
00:00:33and warnings reportedly received before the attack on x
00:00:36we trace viral claims and the footage challenging some
00:00:39of the stories circulated in the aftermath. fake news takes
00:00:43us to zeteo and TRT exposing zionist claims
00:00:47surrounding the hostages, hospitals and alleged
00:00:51propaganda. infigures UN findings and Israeli entity
00:00:55reporting put numbers evidence and official record and
00:00:58invoices normal and then voices, Norman
00:01:02Finkelstein ask, who will enforce
00:01:04of Zionist Israeli departure from Gaza? Welcome to Season 2
00:01:08of Expose, the award winning show that leaves no stone on
00:01:11turn.
00:01:18of Three years after October 7, many
00:01:20of the zionist claims that dominated the airways are facing
00:01:24very different media spotlight,
00:01:26of with zeo and TRT revisiting disputed narrative.
00:01:30surrounding the hostages, hospitals and the justification for the
00:01:34war. here are the headlines. the tayo, the
00:01:37hostages could have been released, so why did the war
00:01:41continue? trt from beheaded
00:01:44of babies me to hospital claims examining october 7
00:01:48propaganda.
00:01:56october 7 was followed by torrent of claims that shaped public.
00:02:00union and helped frame the war that followed. three years
00:02:04on, reports from zionist Israely, regional and international media have
00:02:07challenged or contradicted number of those narratives. tonight we
00:02:11revisit to broadcast clips that put some
00:02:14of the most consequential claims onto the spotlight. joining us our
00:02:17broadcast media expert,
00:02:21fuad, over to you. thank you, so three years since the start
00:02:25of the Israeli genocide in Gaza, and lot
00:02:27of the claims presented as
00:02:29in unquestionable. facts have been extensively challenged by
00:02:33reporting and evidence from multiple media outlets over the years, so we begin
00:02:36with zeteo and its clip titled the truth about hamas and
00:02:40the hostages, so here mehdi Hassan is
00:02:44highlighting a hat report concerning warnings allegedly received
00:02:48before 7 october and then turns to another revelation, the claims that Hamas
00:02:52offered to release civilian hostages on the very evening of October
00:02:567. Let's watch, we got to talk about this bombshell.
00:03:00in the Israeli newspaper hat, now lot of people have been focusing on the
00:03:03headline, revealed Netanyahu received an explicit warning
00:03:07days before October the 7th, he
00:03:09of didn't brief Israel's security chiefs. It's a huge deal.
00:03:12Apparently the president
00:03:13of the UAE, Muhammad bin Zayat called the Prime Minister of Israel and told him to be ready
00:03:17for a quote major event from Hamas and Netanyahu
00:03:21did nothing, which has led to even people like former US
00:03:25secretary of state
00:03:26of Hillary of Clinton, suggesting maybe
00:03:28of Netanyahu let the October 7. attacks happen Netan Yahoo had been
00:03:32literally called by you know Sheikh Mohammed
00:03:35MBC from UAE and
00:03:38of warned that Hamas was planning
00:03:40something and either he didn't
00:03:44of
00:03:44a believe it or he it's horrible to say he wanted to see what they could
00:03:48plan so that then he could come down hard but for me the really devastating
00:03:52and revealing and important devastating and revealing an important part
00:03:56of the story is not the bit everyone is focused on about the NBC call.
00:04:00the down in the story, it's where Haret also confirms that Hamas was
00:04:04ready to release all the civilian hostages, not weeks or
00:04:07of months later, but on
00:04:09of October
00:04:09of the 7th itself, at 7 pm on October the 7th, the prime minister of
00:04:13Qatar called the head
00:04:17of of the Massad and of told him, I explicitly threatened Hamas that if all civilian hostages are not released immediately, I will
00:04:21personally order their expulsion from Qatar. I would like to inform
00:04:24you that Hamas is ready to release all civilians now
00:04:28and we are
00:04:29in prepared to... mediate, but the Israelis weren't interested. the peace also
00:04:33adds that
00:04:33there was a message sent from Hamas leader Yahya Sinwa, had no
00:04:37of problem releasing all civilians without anything in return. Those were his exact
00:04:41words, all civilians without anything in return,
00:04:44except the start of negotiations, but the Israelis weren't interested.
00:04:48Netanyahu doesn't want to talk about anything, he only wants war and the
00:04:51elimination of Hamas, was the message from Israeli security officials
00:04:55to Palestinian and Qatari intermediaries. Think about that, for the past
00:04:59three years. of this genocide, we have been told by
00:05:02of the people in power that all
00:05:04of the violence and killing and war was all about getting back
00:05:07the
00:05:11a hostages, remember out is to release the hostages, this
00:05:15war can end tomorrow, it can end if Hamas
00:05:18lays down its arms and returns our hostages and as I said in my opening
00:05:22statement, it could end today if Amas would release all the hostages, lay down
00:05:26their arms uh and and surrender up those responsible for the October 7th
00:05:30attacks. this could end today if they would let the women,
00:05:34the wounded, the elderly go, it could end, this
00:05:38could end, it was all a lie, a brazen, shameless
00:05:41demon
00:05:45so the clip ends with Hassan describing the contradiction that he's seen between years of
00:05:49political messaging that the war was necessary to secure the hostages
00:05:53and the account presented in the haarets reporting that Hamas
00:05:57had offered to release the civilians that same evening. this is the stricking point
00:06:01that if that account is accurate it's directly
00:06:04complicating this repeated claim that we've seen that continued war was
00:06:08simply about bringing the captives home which we all know.
00:06:12is not the case, but it also raises a fundamental question for
00:06:16about which parts the October 7 narrative were treated as
00:06:20a mutable facts and which was later revealed to be
00:06:24far more complicated than what has been seen. yeah,
00:06:27exactly. now we move to TRT with the clip titled
00:06:31Gaza, lies Israel fed the world since October 7, so here
00:06:35TRT is examining the several narrative circulated after October
00:06:387, including the alleged Hamas headquarters at hospitals, we heard that
00:06:42many... times uh and many other claims it describes as propaganda.
00:06:46let's watch: one lie after another,
00:06:49some even more outrageous than the last batch, and one after the other,
00:06:53they keep getting debunked. since October 7, Israel has
00:06:57employed a well-orchestrated PR campaign to change narratives at
00:07:01dislikes, spread false information and drum up sport for its decades
00:07:05long occupation of palestinian territories and its brutal onslot
00:07:08unblocated Gaza. remember the infamous calendar at the adarant.
00:07:12hospital, there is a list and the fake nurse at
00:07:16al-shifa, the world has to know, has to know what
00:07:20hamas is making here, taking over the entire
00:07:24hospital, entire
00:07:26hospital,
00:07:30Israel has a right to the repeated over and over
00:07:34again by Israel and its allies since televiv's war on the
00:07:37besieged enclave began, Israel calls its actions in Gaza
00:07:41and other places self-defense, but experts denounce the
00:07:45talking point, saying it's not validated by international
00:07:48law. The right to self-defense applies to a
00:07:52state when it is attacked by another, and its national security and
00:07:56existence are exposed to danger. At that time, this
00:08:00state informs the United Nations first, and then uses
00:08:04force to defend itself. This does not apply to the current
00:08:07situation here.
00:08:11Yeah, so this is... actually we visiting specific examples of claims that
00:08:14became very powerful images during the information war, while
00:08:18also challenging this repeated framing the zianist entities
00:08:22actions as self-defense, self-defense, and and once again those early
00:08:26claims become headlines, that was obviously we have seen several times, they
00:08:30can shape public perception even long after um their
00:08:34factual basis has been challenged. Fuad and Sima, thank you very
00:08:38much for joining us, thank
00:08:39you.
00:08:46from the electronic intifada to sign as Israel's own
00:08:50hards digital media has documented claims, warnings and
00:08:54questions surrounding October 7 that deserve to be heard beyond the
00:08:57headlines. Here are the headlines: the electronic intifada
00:09:01revisiting the October 7 rape
00:09:03narrative on you
00:09:07long before us. Families demand
00:09:10answers.
00:09:18Now we turn to mainstream digital media and the reports challenging
00:09:21some the most consequential claims surrounding October 7. Seima
00:09:25will take us through two reports: one examining false
00:09:29allegations of sexual violence and another raising questions about
00:09:33warnings received before the attack. Joining us again are digital media
00:09:36experts welcome both sema let's begin thank welcome both
00:09:40sima let's begin thank you for. so let's just get right into it, so the first
00:09:44report comes from the electronic intifada and it's written by Ali abu
00:09:48name and it's titled Israel's seven October Ray Pokes gets a
00:09:51300 page reboot, so it examines how this new
00:09:55report that's presented as evidentiary breakthrough and argues that it's
00:09:59largely repackaging earlier allegations that we saw in
00:10:03previous years, so he writes major media outlets are promoting
00:10:07new report as
00:10:08an evidentiary breakthrough on alleged mass rapes of Israelies by Hamas on 7
00:10:12October. 2023 and it is nothing the kind,
00:10:15weighing in at almost 300 pages, silence no
00:10:19more published by supposedly independent civil commission is largely
00:10:23repackaged compilation. of old claims, anonymous allegations, and
00:10:27speculation, which is what we saw from the start by the way, exactly, and what makes this
00:10:31significant is that the article is not simply disputing one
00:10:35claim, it examines the evidence based that has been presented to the
00:10:39public in the history of some of those sources, yeah, and the article is pointing
00:10:42specifically
00:10:43to this previous quoting an Israel government, quoting an
00:10:47Israeli government source reported by ynet, people disconnected from her because
00:10:51her investigation is not accurate, said adding that... had
00:10:55circulated a story about slicing the belly of a pregnant woman,
00:10:59if you guys remember that, and this was later proven un true
00:11:03as the babies in the oven, yeah, so so obviously here, the
00:11:06issue that has been raised is not what was claimed,
00:11:10but whether the sources and the methodology, according to the
00:11:14information that you're highlighting behind those claim, would stand
00:11:18scrutiny at all, yes, and they haven't been able to, and the article actually
00:11:21then identifies what it calls the central evidentiary.
00:11:25which is the key problem with Israel 7 october mass rapes narrative has
00:11:29never been merely the failure to name victims publicly and it
00:11:32also asks how many complaints were made and how many
00:11:36alleged cases rest on and how many alleged cases rest on witness
00:11:40interference here say or speculation fundamental
00:11:44questions for any investigation involving allegations of this magnitude
00:11:47yeah and now onto our second report from Israeli
00:11:50newspaper knew long before us october
00:11:547 demand answers over warnings by Bar Pelleg, so this
00:11:58report documents Israeli families demanding
00:12:01answers over the warnings reportedly received before October
00:12:057 that were they say ignored, many times over,
00:12:09so one the central questions raised is the question, how did he
00:12:13sleep, because he knew, he knew long before any of us did, how did he
00:12:17sleep instead of protecting Libby? That is the question, how does
00:12:21he think they deserve to keep leading this country? yeah, and that...
00:12:25moves the discussion actually from what happened during the attack to what
00:12:28Israeli authorities allegedly knew
00:12:32beforehand. yeah, and Inab zangauk whose son spent
00:12:35737 days in Hamas captivity, says another
00:12:39warning and another alert, and we all saw the result on October 7,
00:12:43calling the repeated response, I didn't know, I wasn't told, I wasn't
00:12:47woken up, so this reflects incre, so this
00:12:51reflects increasingly prominent demand inside the...
00:12:55zionist entity over the warnings and
00:12:57the decisions that preceded october 7, particularly the state uh state
00:13:00commission of inquiry and all those things. yes, and that is where we
00:13:04actually leave at this segment, examining not only the
00:13:08blatant claims made by the zionist regime after october
00:13:117, but also the questions raised by journalists
00:13:15about how those claims were constructed and what authorities new
00:13:19beforehand. seema for thank you both, thank you
00:13:22for.
00:13:29October 7 was followed by a barrage of shocking zionus claims
00:13:33that quickly became headlines, political talking points and
00:13:37viral social media posts, but as more footage testimony and
00:13:41evidence emerged, some of those claims come under growing scrutiny. Here are the
00:13:45headlines: October 7, the claims that built the
00:13:49narrative, shocking claims, viral headlines and the evidence that
00:13:53challenged them.
00:14:01In this episode we are examining how narratives surrounding October
00:14:047 were constructed, amplified and repeated and how social
00:14:08media has become crucial space for challenging claims presented
00:14:12as unquestionable facts when in reality
00:14:16facts when in reality they were mere lies the
00:14:20exper and analyst let's begin with what
00:14:23people are at actually saying on x sure far,
00:14:27so this first post that we have challenges the way accusations of
00:14:30antisemitism have been used in debates over gaza,
00:14:34and the post reads, representative at un
00:14:37ecosok and accredited at un office at
00:14:41Geneva, Muhammad Safa wrote, almost 80 years ago you
00:14:45were an anti-semite if you supported a genocide, today you
00:14:49are an antisemite if you oppose a genocide, so the people
00:14:53did this to Gaza want to lecture us about
00:14:56Human rights, international law, civilization, democrat
00:14:58as muhammed posted, as muhammad
00:15:01posted,
00:15:18so the post points to a broader media problem, how language can
00:15:22evidence and toward accusation, evidence and toward accusations and
00:15:26allegations intended to discredit criticism, basically, yeah, and that is
00:15:30precisely why examining uh the original crimes rather than
00:15:34simply repeating them a different note and
00:15:37actually matters at one point, yeah, and the next post actually makes
00:15:41a much more direct allegation about October 7
00:15:44arguing, the attack was used to justify what followed, so the post comes
00:15:48from holding to truth, after the truth, it reads October 7
00:15:52was false flag to justify the ethnic cleansing in Gaza, three years
00:15:56later, it's more clear now than ever, um, let's take
00:16:00a look, someone tells you there isn't a
00:16:04get the difference in the port alone from 20, get the difference in the port alone. from
00:16:072023 to 2026, that's not enough for you, here's
00:16:11Google's updated satellite imaging of Gaza, look at this, it
00:16:14has been completely destroyed guys, hardly any buildings are left, mean you're talking about
00:16:18schools, restaurants, homes, all of it's been destroyed,
00:16:22crazy about this is apple refuses to update their maps like google did to
00:16:25show the destruction, i wonder who's making the newest iphone, oh
00:16:29shocker, this is justifiable from what happened on october
00:16:337th right, no wrong cuz netan yahoo actually knew that this was going to take
00:16:37place, case implemented a
00:16:38stand down order to then justify what's been going on in Gaza. was there
00:16:42a stand down order? was there a
00:16:45stand-down order? six hours? i don't believe
00:16:49it. israel's deside of sides New Jersey. when i took a helicopter
00:16:52ride from Jerusalem to the Gaza border, it's 45
00:16:56minutes. six hours. did somebody in the government say stand
00:17:00down? that is legitimate non-conspiracy
00:17:03question. the whole country is the IDF.
00:17:07the whole country is be careful the way I say this, they're going to try ethnically cleanse
00:17:11Gaza, I mean that that's and I don't use that
00:17:15term lightly, okay, they're talking about basically
00:17:19removing 2.5 million people from there, okay, and let tell you,
00:17:22my pattern recognition over the last five years has
00:17:26become pretty sharp, covid,
00:17:30mawires, epsteen, when I see
00:17:33story and it doesn't click. we're
00:17:37our guts are usually right,
00:17:41as the evidence presented here suggest October 7 narrative wasn't simply about what
00:17:45happened that day, but about how those events were subsequently used to justify what fold
00:17:49and gaza, that's what they mean by false flag, not actual false flag, but
00:17:52okay, exactly, and this is where social media again and again
00:17:56has played pivital role um, bringing forward
00:18:00information and also a testimony that directly
00:18:04challenged the narrative that was initially presented to the public a different.
00:18:07perspective: yeah, exactly. The next post that we have
00:18:11shares a video featuring former Unidos spokesman Chris Gunnis and
00:18:15it's discussing a contested account surrounding 7 October. Double
00:18:19Down news posted it and captioned it with former UN chief absolutely
00:18:23demolishes October 7 lies. So here's the video of Chris. Let's take a look at that
00:18:27video. You see, what happened in
00:18:30October is that the Israel's got their talking points out
00:18:33brilliantly, and as someone who's done public communications, I can recognize.
00:18:37so the narrative went out, it was a surprise attack, there was no real context, there were
00:18:41Hamas butchers, they killed 1400 people or 1,200, there was no
00:18:45context, Israel implement its right of self-defense, israel has implement its right of
00:18:48self-defense, Israel has a right to defend itself, Israel must have that, does have
00:18:52that right to defend herself, all of those talking points are
00:18:56wrong, there was a context, the context of 1948, the disposession the
00:19:00palestinians, the context of 1967, the context the
00:19:04occupation, 2007, the context the bloccade and then all the
00:19:07conflicts that happened since then, the idea that Israel has the
00:19:11right of self-defense, according to the 2004 legal
00:19:15opinion the ICJ, occupied people cannot be
00:19:18attacked, the occupying power has an obligation to protect
00:19:22them, and yet here was Israel destroying, blowing them up, doing all these
00:19:26terrible things to them, the idea that it was a butchery by
00:19:29Hamas, people don't report much on the Hannibal
00:19:33directive, and this is a directive that comes, it's an IDF directive that
00:19:37they put to their soldiers,
00:19:41so gunis is questioning several claims and it's between lot the early
00:19:45reports between lot the early reports and the more accurate
00:19:49information that came out later, and that distinction is central
00:19:53to this episode specifically, claims made in the immediate
00:19:56aftermath should not become permanently
00:20:00immune from examinations, and yet somehow people still fall for it every
00:20:04time, though it's been happening for decades. we have our final post that... focuses
00:20:08specifically on allegations involving children and the widely
00:20:11circulated claims about the beheaded
00:20:15Israeli babies, so international observer posted
00:20:19footage revealed that Hamas didn't harm children on 7 October, then
00:20:22why western mainstream media spread lies about beheading
00:20:26of Israeli baby? so here is some footage, actual footage from
00:20:30October
00:20:307th.
00:20:37وقوللك وزع
00:20:38صح
00:20:44انظروا الرحمه في قلوبنا ماهم الاطفال لم
00:20:47نقتله هاهم الاطفال لم نقتله.
00:20:58so the key issue is whether the dramatic claims that the israelis made in the
00:21:02aftermath were supported by verified evidence and clearly they weren't as
00:21:06shown in this video the hamas fighters. yeah, and that is exactly
00:21:10what Exfose is doing, separating claims, evidence and
00:21:13repetition. see on f, thank you. thank
00:21:16you.
00:21:24When the headlines fail, the numbers remain, un
00:21:27investigations, Israeli entity reporting and official records
00:21:31have exposed contradictions in the story told about October 7,
00:21:35from the Hannibal directive and civilian death to disputed
00:21:38evidence and warnings before the attack. Here are the headlines.
00:21:42The Hannibal directive enters the October 7 record,
00:21:465,000 photos, 50 hours of footage, what? the
00:21:50UN found behind the
00:21:51claim.
00:21:59Numbers can tell a story, but sometimes they can also expose the story
00:22:02that was told. Tonight we turn to the figures, findings and
00:22:06official records behind some the most contested narratives
00:22:10of October 7. Joining us our senior researcher Hiba
00:22:14Murad an analyst. Take us through the record please. Thank
00:22:17you Farah. Let's begin with what. the UN independent international
00:22:21commission of inquiry found that the
00:22:25Israeli entity forces applied the so-called honeyball directive
00:22:29in several locations on October 7
00:22:312023 and that its application resulted in the killing
00:22:35of hundreds of Israeli entity colonial settlers. now
00:22:39the commission also documented cases involving Israeli entity
00:22:43tank and helicopters uh fire where
00:22:46settlers were and militants were present so the familiar. picture of
00:22:50October 7 as story in which every civilian as a
00:22:54story in which every civilian death was attributed
00:22:57exclusively, if you repeat with me about UN's own findings
00:23:01exactly, and then comes a bigger number, 500. the
00:23:05UN sexual violence mission reviewed more than
00:23:08500 photographs and approximately 50 hours
00:23:12of footage, alongside 34 confidential interviews,
00:23:16but it also found the verentcic evidence had not been...
00:23:20systematically collected with potentially valuable evidence
00:23:23lost through untrained handling and the prioritization of
00:23:27identification and burial, which actually matters enormously when these
00:23:31sensational claims are, repeated and transformed into
00:23:34supposedly definitive facts, because evidence has to survive
00:23:37scrutiny, not just simply survive the headline. yes,
00:23:41sema, and and the UN findings here are also more nuanced
00:23:45than the competing propaganda narrative suggests, the
00:23:49UN mission determining that at least two widely reported
00:23:52allegations of rape in baby were
00:23:55unfounded, bay were unfounded, so even
00:23:59the UN, it's record, it's verified
00:24:02findings, verified findings,
00:24:06claims is crucial, yes, and finally, now there is
00:24:10a question of warnings and responsibility, israely entity
00:24:14reporting has increasingly focused on what senior
00:24:17officials knew before October 7. what was documented in government
00:24:21meeting protocols, now those records have
00:24:24been part, have become part of an internal Israely entity
00:24:28debate over Netanyahu's account
00:24:30of events. okay,
00:24:31you know this, at three years on since the start the genocide, and this leaves us with the
00:24:35striking pattern, which is the more the record is examined through UN
00:24:39investigations and other investigations, Israel's
00:24:42reporting and official documentation, you
00:24:46know, the harder it becomes to sustain this simple,
00:24:50contested version of october 7 that they want to
00:24:52maintain
00:24:54that they want to maintain, well the figures have spoken
00:24:58complicated than the headlines first
00:25:00suggested, thank you very
00:25:02much,
00:25:10in our voices segment we turn to scholar norman finkel scene
00:25:14speaking on the te network youtube channel in the tea with
00:25:18miriam fransois a entitled they gave the keys
00:25:22of Gaza to Trump. Finka scene examines the
00:25:25political implications the demand for Zionist Israel to leave
00:25:29Gaza and ask the crucial question of who if anyone will enforce
00:25:33it. Let's watch the clip together. President
00:25:37Trump owns Gaza. They gave it to
00:25:40him. It was the most, I would say shocking
00:25:44breach of international law as
00:25:47defined over. 80 years since
00:25:511947, now here's the kicker, as
00:25:55defined by the UN, the law and the UN
00:25:58bodies, be it the general assembly, the security count.
00:26:03the international court of justice, they have the court of
00:26:06justice, they have all weighed in over
00:26:10fine, the parameters, the terms
00:26:14for apprehending the Israel palestine conflict, UN
00:26:18resolution 2803, believe it or not, it
00:26:21abolished all of it, it was all whited
00:26:25out.
00:26:33Ladies and gentlemen, with that we conclude our expose for tonight right here on pris tv,
00:26:36until next week, question the headline, trace the source and never surrender your
00:26:40judgment.
00:27:04One morning, the balance of power in west Asia was
00:27:08shattered. October 7th was not simply another day
00:27:11of war. It was the moment decades of assumptions,
00:27:15alliances and security doctrines began to
00:27:19collapse,
00:27:26and as the battlefield expanded from Gaza to the heart the
00:27:29region, one question became impossible to...
00:27:32ignore, what was Iran prepared to risk and how
00:27:36far would it go for Palestine? This is the story of
00:27:40Iran October 7 and the confrontation that
00:27:43changed West Asia
00:27:45forever.
00:30:06Tops here on Press TV, an exclusive interview with Press TV. Iran's security chief
00:30:10warns that American assets, including key, data and AI centers will be
00:30:14struck if us wages another world. A senior
00:30:17answer the officials praise recent victories the Yemen Armed forces, warning Saudi
00:30:21Arabia against committing more crimes against Yemen.
