Israel Bombed Gaza. Netanyahu Says: No, They Bombed Themselves

Everyone saw the airstrikes. But that’s not the point. The lie isn’t for you, it’s for someone else.

Netanyahu is lying. Badly.

In an interview with Fox News, the Israeli Prime Minister claimed Gaza wasn’t destroyed by Israeli bombs, but by Hamas themselves. According to him, Hamas planted explosives inside every building and detonated them as Israeli forces entered the city.

That’s the story.

He says Israeli troops were just victims of hidden traps. That buildings collapsed because Hamas blew up their own people. That Israel only “triggered” the explosives while moving in.

It sounds like a joke. But he said it with a straight face.

And the world watched it happen in real time—thousands of videos, satellite images, and live broadcasts. No one imagined the airstrikes. No one imagined the craters, the bodies, the flattened schools and hospitals. They were bombed. On camera.

You don’t bomb a city and then say: “They did it to themselves.”
