The proliferation of lies about Israel’s activities in Gaza is getting help from companies like Adobe. This as Hamas harms its own people while blaming Israel for invented numbers of civilian deaths.
Yahoo News reported that the Adobe Stock images website, a subscription pay service, is selling images of the conflict that have been doctored. These images have added graphics of explosions and some are clearly made using AI. One such image pretends to show a woman and child standing over a destroyed urban area supposedly in Gaza.
Hamas is even producing faked images of what it claims is its destruction of Israeli cities.

As easy as it is these days to produce such fakes, it is equally easy to prove they are fakes. For example, different types of shadow, curves where there should not be ones, and other goofs in the doctored images – like those frequently seen in the photoshopped images that celebrities share of themselves on social media – give away that these are fakes.
This comes as it was proved that Hamas is using actors to pretend to be “victims” of Israeli attacks. One actor can be seen in a video celebrating the launch of Hamas rockets at Israel on October 7 and in another video he cries at the sight of Israeli misses striking Gaza. The same actor also played a wounded man in a staged film that pretended to show wounded people in a Gaza hospital.
Israel provided proof that Hamas bombed the roads used by Gazan refugees to get to safe areas in the Gaza Strip. And it has also been blocking the safe passage into Egypt of those people who hold foreign passports.
And as if that were not enough, Hamas was caught trying to get its own terrorists out of Gaza by putting them in ambulances meant to take wounded civilians to medical facilities in Egypt.
Some 6,000 people who hold foreign citizenship are reportedly in Gaza and the American government reported that about 500 of its citizens are among them. President Joe Biden said that of these 74 were able to cross safely into Egypt on Friday and that 5 American citizens made the crossing on Thursday.
The New York Post cited a senior Biden administration official saying, “Hamas was not allowing anybody to leave [Gaza]. And then they said that they would allow foreign nationals to leave, subject to a number of wounded Palestinians being allowed to leave, as well, which of course is not objectionable.”
“But the list that was provided, once it was vetted, about a third of the wounded Palestinians on the list were members of Hamas,” the official added, accusing Hamas of duplicity.
And this as pro-Hamas protesters vandalized the White House Gates Saturday night with red paint they said symbolizes the blood of people in Gaza. And the supporters of terrorism who seem to have not shed a tear over the more than 1,400 innocent Israelis who were massacred on October 7, including babies and entire families.
