Psychological Warfare: Part 2

So here’s the case of Ofir Tzarfati, age 27, who helped his girlfriend escape the rave on Oct 7, 2023.  He was taken captive that day and brought to Gaza.  On November 27, the IDF confirmed that he was dead, and on December 1, 2023, the IDF returned Ofir’s body to Israel.

And then around the second week of August, the spokeperson for the Al Qassam Brigades released a video of Ofir being shot by his captor.  The Brigades are one of the military groups working alongside Hamas in Gaza.  Ofir’s mother bravely announced that she refuses to view the video or any photos of his execution.  She made the right choice.  Obviously, the visuals are intended only to inflict psychological harm to Israelis.

Based on this knowledge of how genocidal terrorists work, I predicted this would occur: So on October 14, 2023 I released this video in an attempt to encourage people to avoid hostage propaganda pictures from Gazans:

 

 

Here is a beautiful photo celebrating Ofir Tzarfati’s life:

In August 2024, Gazans released a video showing the execution of Ofir Tzarfati, a hostage in Gaza. But the IDF had already confirmed that he had died by November 27, 2023. The IDF even recovered his body back to Israel on Dec 1. So why did Gaza do this? Psychological warfare. And the best antidote: Ignore it and do not view their videos or photos of hostages.

Pray and Support our work.
