‘Journalist’ blocks this site for pointing out Israeli media/survivors report friendly fire killings

Nicole Lampert claimed fact of IDF killing kibbutz and rave victims is ‘conspiracy theory’. It didn’t go well

Pro-Israel ‘journalist’ Nicole Lampert – a former Daily Mail showbusiness hack and a prominent figure in the ‘Labour antisemitism’ smear campaign – has blocked Skwawkbox for pointing to Israeli media and survivor reports of the killing of Israelis by Israeli forces during the 7 October kibbutz and rave raid.

Ms Lampert had claimed that talk of the mass ‘friendly fire’ killings by the IDF was just ‘Ms Lampert had claimed that talk of the mass ‘friendly fire’ killings by the IDF was just ‘one of the new conspiracy theories that’s going around’:

Skwawkbox pointed out that the fact of the killings was reported both by Israeli survivors and by Israeli media (ignored, of course, by the UK and US media):

Ms Lampert’s reaction was to block Skwawkbox within a few minutes – which meant that the quote from an article by Israeli new site Ynet about the ‘immense’ quantity of killings by the IDF and the IDF’s refusal to investigate them had to be posted separately:

Skwawkbox was not the only one to point out the large and growing body of evidence that the burned and mutilated bodies at the raid sites were the work of the IDF. Many others responded to Ms Lampert to point it out, of whom a small selection is shown below:

Lampert was an avid participant in the ‘Labour antisemitism’ smear campaign – and is still at it, tweeting claims of ‘Corbyn fans’ making antisemitic comments, with screenshots attached of accounts that appear to have nothing to do with Jeremy Corbyn:

As so often with pro-Israeli propaganda attempting to justify the apartheid regime’s mass slaughter of civilians, genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza, it falls apart with the slightest scrutiny – and its proponents resort to blocking to try to hide that fact.

  1. Nicole Lampert’s “You’re Blocked” gesture is a pale-copy of Sir Keir Rigger Starmer’s suspension of Jeremy Corbyn – except of course she didn’t need 22 members of the National Executive Committee to approve her desperate measure.

      1. CNN Runs Gaza Coverage Past Jerusalem Team Operating Under Shadow of IDF Censor

        The Jerusalem bureau has long reviewed all CNN stories relating to Israel and Palestine. Now, it’s helping shape the network’s coverage of the war.
        Whether reporting from the Middle East, the United States, or anywhere else across the globe, every CNN journalist covering Israel and Palestine must submit their work for review by the news organization’s bureau in Jerusalem prior to publication, under a long-standing CNN policy. While CNN says the policy is meant to ensure accuracy in reporting on a polarizing subject, it means that much of the network’s recent coverage of the war in Gaza — and its reverberations around the world — has been shaped by journalists who operate under the shadow of the country’s military censor.

    1. All well and good you posting these links, yet I don’t see you criticizing your hero Starmer (‘Zionist without qualification’) for his support of Israel’s blatant inhumane and genocidal actions against International Law.

      No doubt you’ll soon be back defending him against all criticism from posters here.

      Hypocrite.

      1. Notice he doesn’t mention Corbyn, or the left anymore?

        Wonder why? 🤔

        No need, really. Patently a piss-poor and half-arsed attempt at ingratiation with those who have had this right all along.

        But with a complete non-committal; just an ambiguous “Hey! Seen this?”.

        Pitiful, really. We know what you are, wee gobshite.

      2. Toffee – “Notice he doesn’t mention Corbyn, or the left anymore?”
        Does anyone? Neither of them have anything that is even remotely credible to offer the electorate

        “No need, really. Patently a piss-poor and half-arsed attempt at ingratiation with those who have had this right all along.”
        You need to get a grip on your narcissistic dilutions. What on earth has made you think I care one way or t’other what you think.

        But with a complete non-committal; just an ambiguous “Hey! Seen this?”.
        It is not my problem that you need to be told what to think.

        Pitiful, really. We know what you are, wee gobshite.
        Oh dear, 🥱

      3. I need to be told what to think?

        Erm…ok. Except I’m not listening to what keef’s trying to tell me. Why? .

        You see, keef allows the starvation of kids, both home and abroad.

        Keef doesn’t prosecute pederasts. I’m fact, his reticence to so much as comment on the mandelslime report shows without equivocation that keef approves of his senior adviser staying in the home(s) of convicted pederasts – while they serve jail time for it.

        Keef tells you…and you (try to) tell us what to think. Except people know what he is.

        …And we know what you both are.

      4. Toffee – 🥱

        But with a complete non-committal; just an ambiguous “Hey! Seen this?”
        Keef tells you…and you (try to) tell us what to think.

        Really, are you getting confused again?
        Who said “Hey! Seen this?”. Not me, I posted the links without comment and yet here you are complaining again about stuff you’ve made up.
        Make your mind up

      5. By the mere act of posting the link, you are.

        Or else what was the point of you doing so?

        Gobshite. We all know your game.

  2. Goebbels would be proud of the Israeli regime, “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”

  3. Genius is knowing when to stop
    The Fuhrer must know he is now at risk of being implicated in the Genocide of the Palestinians
    We can all now look forward to Nuremberg II

  4. We know for a fact (as reported by skwawkbox) that some two hundred Hamas fighters were burnt beyond recognition and were only identified by their DNA and, as such, Israeli authorities reduced the initial figure of Israeli people killed on October 7th from 1,400 to 1,200 some five/six weeks later. Needdless to say though, it’s HIGHLY unlikely that we’ll ever learn how many Israelis were burnt beyond recognition on October 7th. Not from Israeli authorities anyway!

    The families and/or relations of those who were burnt beyond recognition must, I assume, know that their family member(s) or relation(s) was burnt beyond recognition and had to be identified by their DNA, and it’s quite possible that they know other people who had a family member who was burnt beyond recocognition and had to be identified by their DNA*, but unless they all got together in some way (and informed Haaretz of the total number, who would be the most likely media outlet to publish the figure), there’s no way we’ll ever find out.

    *I was doing some research several weeks ago (trying to find a picture of the stage at the music festival, or some video in which it happened to be shown), and I came across a picture of several people (taken from behind) sitting in a car who were literally charred, and it seems unlikely that they were all members of the same family……….

    I don’t know if I can find it now, but I also came across a Guardian article (which must have been published on October 8th) several weeks ago in relation to the music festival which finished by saying that family members/relations had been asked to bring along something (like a hairbrush or a toothbrush) from which a DNA sample could be taken………. Just found it (from October 9th, in fact):

    Many family members of those attending the party headed to a missing persons centre at a police station near Ben Gurion airport on Sunday. Relatives were told to bring items, such as toothbrushes, that could contain DNA.

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/09/how-the-hamas-attack-on-the-supernova-festival-in-israel-unfolded

    Initially the media – which obviously came from Israeli authorities – were saying that at least 260 people were killed at the music festival, and then a couple of days later a specific figure of 280. But then, about six/seven weeks later, it suddenly went up by eighty-something to 360-something, without explanation, and the obvious reason is that they were burnt and charred beyond recognition and, as such, had to be identified by their DNA, and THAT obviously took some time to do. And another point is that the additional eighty-something number of people killed at the music festival were never added to the overall figure! I wonder why not!!

    1. Just came across this youtube video (9mins) with Chris Hedges, which is very interesting and well worth checking out:

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8npacQyTGh4

      PS I was actually looking for a video I watched about three weeks ago in which there’s footage of Helicopter gunships firing at numerous cars at the music festival as they were driving away. I’m 99.9% certain it was a Grayzone video with Maz Blumenthal, but I just can’t find it now. It was a relatively long video, and it wasn’t specifically about the helicopter gunships firing at vehicles – and the occupants – at the festival but, that said, just about anyone who hasn’t been blinded by the propaganda and has seen the picture of the hundred or so cars at the music festival will know that it wasn’t Hamas who caused such extensive damage to them, and one can only imagine that the occupants of every single vehicle (and there’s an unknown number of vehicles out of shot of the picture) were burnt beyond recognition and, as such, had to be identified by their DNA. And I think we can safely assume that just about every vehicle had between 2 and 4 occupants when they were hit. In other words, it’s quite possible that 200 or more of the people at the festival were killed by the IDF.

      The only thing that isn’t clear to me is at what point did the IDF and the helicopter gunships arrive at/in the festival site area – ie how long after the Hamas fighters got there.
