Hamas shows that it is good at pretending. But its shows the audience is wanting to hear the rest of the story,

”This wasn’t just a release of hostages; it was a grotesque theater performance — Hamas’ carefully crafted attempt to project an image of power while simultaneously masquerading as benevolent.

The four young Israeli women — Karina Ariev, Daniella Gilboa, Naama Levy, and Liri Albag — soldiers kidnapped from the Nahal Oz army base in southern Israel on October 7, 2023 — were the reluctant stars of this PR charade.

The BBC, for example, falsely claimed during a live report showing Hamas’ sickening PR stunt that the Israeli hostages were wearing the same IDF uniforms they had been kidnapped in. This, of course, was a blatant misrepresentation.  As even Hamas’ own wealth of body camera footage from October 7 makes chillingly clear, the four were abducted from their beds and paraded through Gaza’s streets in bloodied pajamas and underwear — not military fatigues.”

The Hamas stunt is a Pallywood number making the Israeli girls the victims.
