I have a sincere question, Ihab. You've spoken out—admirably—against Hamas' brutality. You’ve also acknowledged, on multiple occasions, how Hamas pressures journalists in Gaza to push certain narratives and suppress others. So here's my question: As observers of the conflict and consumers of media in general, how are we supposed to distinguish between what's real and what's manipulated, fabricated, or exaggerated? I have no doubt that innocent babies have died in this war. That’s the tragic, horrific reality of it. But in the stills you shared, the baby supposedly pulled from the rubble—and the rescue worker holding them—don’t have a single scratch on them. That’s… odd. And the journalist who posted this footage, per the watermark, is Anas al-Sharif—a known Hamas member. That’s not speculation; it’s been confirmed through open-source evidence and by the IDF. Would love to understand your point of view on this.
