Three Big Lies About the Israel-Hamas War
Bernard-Henri Lévy has once again demonstrated why he remains one of our most clear-eyed observers of international affairs. In his latest Wall Street Journal piece, “Three Big Lies About the Israel-Hamas War,” Lévy methodically dismantles the most pernicious falsehoods that have taken root in public discourse about the conflict—lies that even well-intentioned people have begun to accept as truth. His analysis cuts through the fog of disinformation that has clouded rational discussion of this war since October 7th.
In his piece, Lévy confronts uncomfortable realities that many prefer to ignore. His point about Israel’s humanitarian efforts—including the evacuation of hundreds of Palestinian children for medical treatment—reveals the absurdity of genocide accusations against a military that sends SMS warnings before strikes and facilitates civilian evacuations.
As someone who has spent considerable time documenting how antisemitic narratives spread and take hold, I appreciate Lévy’s methodical approach to separating fact from propaganda. His observation that “words have meaning” U.S. and Israel Expose Iran’s Tenacious Malign Influence resonates deeply with those of us fighting the battle for truth in an era when language itself has become weaponized against Israel and the Jewish people.
