Watan-Social media users circulated a video clip claiming to be from the occupied Palestinian territories, ‘Israel’, where protesters are seen raising Palestinian flags in solidarity with Gaza. However, upon investigation, it was found to be from a different location.<\/p>\n
The occupied Palestinian territories, ‘Israel’, witnessed angry protests against the policies of the occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in his brutal war against Gaza. However, these protests did not extend to solidarity with Palestine, and there was no evidence of solidarity with the humanitarian tragedy in the besieged Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n
According to the circulated footage, which was later confirmed to be from a different location, dozens of protesters were seen raising Palestinian flags while chanting “Freedom for Palestine” and holding solidarity banners with Gaza.<\/p>\n
The circulated video was titled: “Urgent from the streets of Israel now,” within a video that garnered thousands of shares and comments from various social media pages.<\/p>\n
This occurred concurrently with ongoing real protests<\/a> organized by the opposition in Israel and families of hostages held in the Gaza Strip, but these protests were against Netanyahu’s policies without being directed towards sympathy with Palestine, Gaza, or the humanitarian tragedy in the sector.<\/p>\n\n
