When it comes to the war in Israel and Gaza, the battle isn’t only on the ground—it’s also in the headlines, on our screens, and in our social media feeds. Hamas knows it can’t win a war militarily against Israel, so it has built its strategy around something else: propaganda.
From the start, Hamas has worked to control the story the world sees. They stage scenes, limit what journalists can report, and carefully craft the images that make it out of Gaza. The goal is clear—to present themselves as victims in order to gain sympathy, outrage, and political pressure against Israel. And sadly, much of the global media plays along, whether knowingly or not.
The truth is far darker than the narrative being pushed. Reports and firsthand accounts show that Hamas steals humanitarian aid meant for civilians—food, fuel, and medical supplies—then resells it to the very people it’s supposed to help. Instead of protecting their citizens, Hamas uses them as human shields, embedding weapons and fighters in schools, hospitals, and residential neighborhoods. Every tragic image of civilian suffering is then used to fuel the propaganda machine, while the real cause—the deliberate tactics of Hamas—is often left unspoken.
This is not to say that the suffering of the people in Gaza isn’t real—it is. But much of that suffering is by design. Hamas needs the world to see the pain so they can shift the blame and rally international pressure against Israel. In this war, every photo, every headline, every clip that leaves out Hamas’s role in creating the crisis becomes part of their battle plan.
Propaganda is not an accident—it’s the strategy. And until more people recognize it for what it is, the truth will always be buried under the lies.
