How a protest mutates on social networks and unsettles users.

“Living corpses?” asked a visitor to Mimikama and sent us the following video:


Status text for the video that was shared on Facebook at the time (*addendum because video was deleted on Facebook):

The living corpses in Syria, after the poison gas attack.clip_image001clip_image001[1]clip_image001[2] This is how we are being fooled.clip_image002

What is this footage all about? Staging, reality, fake news?

Here is the fact check:

Our colleague David Puente from Italy debunked this on his blog back in 2017.

Pandora TV on April 12 and 13, 2017 .

The following text was found there:

The film was made in the most beautiful way and splendidly illustrates the situation in real life. It is diffused by a Israeli web television, even though it is “affidable associaton”, which means that the Mossad has been prosecuted. Riguarda una “messa in scena” organized by Hamas, nella striscia di Gaza. I morti sono morti come lo siamo noi. Qualcuno ha ripreso the immagini mentre si stava preparando il “set” cinematografico. In this case i truffatori sono quelli che qui da noi sono considerati i cattivi. The fat is the same, the same thing, the fans are in the mainstream media. Bevendosi the immagini girate dai “buoni”, cioè the fiancheggiatori dei terroristi, come i famigerati e famous Caschi Bianchi in Siria. What's the difference between the cats and the good ones? This is Caschi Bianchi's status in Hollywood. E fanno meno errori. Ottima professionalità. These are our giornalisti y giornali credono (or fangono di credere) solo all loro riprese cinematografiche.

The video we are about to show you is a beautiful illustration of the situation we are all living in right now. It was distributed by an Israeli web TV channel, so it was “absolutely reliable”, probably close to the Mossad. It is a “production” organized by Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The dead didn't die any more than we did. Someone took the pictures while preparing the film set. In this case, the scammers are the ones who are considered the bad guys here. The fact is that all of our mainstream media outlets do the same, identical things. Absorbing the images taken by the “good guys”, i.e. from the terrorists’ sideshows, such as the infamous and famous White Helmets in Syria. Do you know the difference between the bad guys and the good guys? One is that the White Helmets were trained in Hollywood. And they make fewer mistakes. Excellent professionalism. But our journalists and newspapers only believe (or pretend to believe) in their filming.

David Puente found the following (Editor's translation):

Let's start with the fact that the video shows the logo of the Egyptian newspaper Elbadil and not that of any supposedly Israeli web TV channel.

Let's also tell [Puente] that the video of Elbadil was broadcast by an Israeli web TV channel (it would be interesting to know if perhaps that was from Israelvideowatch.com ).

What was filmed is by no means a “staging” organized by Hamas (as claimed in some videos from 2014 and 2017 ). Just remember that the people in the video were sold victims of the Russian bombing

The video is from 2013 and is about a protest rally organized by students associated with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.

This information can be found in the video posted by Elbadil:
Video: Representative presentation of bodies inside Al-Azhar University [Cairo]. Mustafa Darwish (Photography) 3:36:55 Monday, October 28, 2013, Egypt
(Translation by our editorial team using Google Translate)

Suddenly, a Muslim Brotherhood-related student protest at Egypt's Al-Azhar University becomes first Hamas Palestinians and then allegedly fake Syrian deaths from Russian bombings or Assad.

You always have to look closely at WHO is presenting WHAT to you as truth or as a deliberate fake. In modern (civil) war, discrediting the respective opponent has become an important propaganda tool.

Therefore: check your sources. Don't believe everything. First think – then nod!
