Jan Betlach wrote that three years ago, news circulated worldwide claiming that the Israeli attack on the Al-Ahli hospital in Gaza killed over 500 people. He argued that this number was published by the Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health just minutes after the explosion, and that the global media disseminated it without verification. Betlach stated that the hospital was hit by a failed Palestinian rocket, which he claimed was likely attributed to the Islamic Jihad by both the Israeli army and Western intelligence services. The rocket reportedly landed in the parking lot of the complex, leaving the hospital building almost untouched; according to him, American intelligence estimated the death toll at around one hundred. Betlach insisted that Israel could not be held responsible for the casualties. He added that Jordan had canceled a summit with Biden in the meantime and that mass anti-Israel demonstrations followed in Arab countries and Western capitals. In Tunisian al-Hamma, he claimed a historic synagogue was set on fire, and in Berlin, Molotov cocktails were thrown at another. He also wrote that the New York Times later admitted to being overly reliant on Hamas's claims, while most media never acknowledged their mistakes. He labeled the report as one of the first sources of hatred against Israel and Jews after October 7, claiming that the media still initially present Hamas's false statements as facts and publish corrections quietly or not at all. #Izrael #Gaza #dezinformace (translated)

Piotr Kusznieruk commented on another interview given by Barbara Mróz-Gorgoń to Onet. He wrote that when asked about the reason for the interview, she replied that she wanted to be able to continue living, and in his opinion, the whole situation resembled a "national tragedy." Kusznieruk ironically suggested that Mróz-Gorgoń could be entrusted with a government project, provided with a salary of 50,000 PLN per month and a company car. He also mentioned Radosław Mróz from TVN24 and his wife Justyna Śliwowska-Mróz from TVP, and wrote that taxpayers could bear the costs of such a solution. #Polska #drama #media (translated)

Paola Holguín stated that over the weekend a protest was called in front of the National Museum by people who, according to her, had used culture to reinterpret history, justify crimes, and re-victimize the victims. She asserted that some protesters arrived masked and resorted to unlawful actions, while others brought minors and used them as shields. Holguín said that the National Police fulfilled their role of ensuring a peaceful protest and preventing harm to citizens and heritage. She also indicated that she would seek for the museum to preserve, restore, protect, and disseminate a culture representative of the entire nation, and reiterated the need to review the museography, museology, and curatorship of that and other museums managed by the Government. Moreover, she reaffirmed her commitment to the rights of victims to truth, justice, reparations, and non-repetition. She added that preserving the memory of the country, including its tragedies and achievements, required efforts from society and authorities, and firmness in the face of acts that, in her opinion, dishonored the affected individuals. #Cultura #DerechosHumanos #ProtestaPacífica (translated)
