Hasbara Examples
Gatell is known for presenting stereotypical Hasbara1 takes whitewashing Israeli crimes towards Palestinians.
In an article on the May 2021 brutal attack against Gaza and the suppression of Palestinian protests in Jerusalem by Israel, Gatell claimed that Palestinians were guilty of initiating the conflict and that the Israelis were simply “defending themselves” after suffering at the hands of Palestinians.2 He defended the 2021 Zionist land & home seizures in the Palestinian Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood by falsely stating that it was due to “unpaid rent”.
