Israel’s arch-liar is at it again
Eylon Levy: he’ll say whatever he thinks will get you to sympathise with his genocidal Israeli government and hate the almost defenceless Gazan people Israel is slaughtering.
Is he pathological? Is Eylon Levy unable to control his behaviour – stop himself from lying?
Of course, the answer is no. He’s perfectly capable of quoting genuine facts but his job is to mislead the rest of us. Or at least, it certainly seems that way.
Consider his latest wheeze: claiming that serving members of the Israeli armed forces who were taken prisoner on October 7 are helpless hostages of Hamas, in danger of rape or other sexual crimes likely to be perpetrated by their captors:
You keep lying and we keep exposing you 🤷🏻♂️

Billel Boudouma’s response is accurate; I checked it with the “Bing Copilot” on my web browser. Before anybody whines about it, it’s the best that Levy deserves.
Here’s the response:
Yes, the Israeli soldiers who were taken prisoner by Hamas on October 7, 2023, are considered prisoners of war 1. The Third Geneva Convention defines a prisoner of war as “any person belonging to one of the following categories, who has fallen into the power of the enemy: Members of the armed forces of a Party to the conflict as well as members of militias or volunteer corps forming part of such armed forces” 1. Since the Israeli soldiers were members of the Israeli Defense Forces, they fall under this definition and are therefore considered prisoners of war 1.
Feel free to check the sources yourself.
In the meantime, remember that Israeli spokespeople like Levy are habitual and constant liars – and, sadly, many of the UK’s mainstream media are colluding with them, whether consciously or not. Look at the report on the BBC’s recent behaviour.

And given the alarming and widespread examples of sexual abuse of prisoners by soldiers and security personnel in the Israeli regime, who the hell is Levy to so casually throw the “rapist” epithet about?
The rules would also extend then to ‘Civil Defence’ personnel. They may not name themselves as such but if part of a group who are armed and coordinated then they would legitimately fall under these rules as far as I can see. eg armed settlers. That could well expand the number of hostages becoming POW substantially.
Whilst this might appear to be semantics words are important when discussing whether a person, group or action is legitimate. Delegitimising actions is important here as it simply categorises them, in the way the Israeli Govt has, as animals.
This aside I can’t condone the targeting of civilians on Oct 7th. Previous atrocities do not excuse this just as the atrocities of Oct 7th do not legitimise the genocide of Palestinians..
