In this video, published exclusively in German on our channel, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald investigates the prevalence of fabricated stories and misinformation in scrutinizing and debunking propaganda during times of war. Greenwald highlights a specific incident on October 7th during the Israel-Gaza conflict, where claims of sexual violence by Hamas were propagated, leading to internal scrutiny at The New York Times. 

We are publishing this video today with the aim of giving an accurate account of what happened in Israel on October 7, 2023. This video is not intended to trivialize the atrocities committed by Hamas and other militias on October 7. On the contrary, it is meant to distinguish the war propaganda from the actual events. All the facts mentioned in this video can be verified using the sources Greenwald cites.

This video was produced by System Update and published on YouTube on the 3rd of March, 2024.
