Enthoven accused of relaying Israeli propaganda targeting journalists murdered in Gaza

Revealed by the independent Israeli media +972 and confirmed by the investigation cell of franceinfothe existence of a secret Israeli military intelligence unit, called “legitimization cell”, aims to investigate Palestinian journalists in Gaza in order to present them as close to Hamas and discredit their work.

According to franceinfothis disinformation strategy has already been used to wrongly accuse several reporters, including Anas Al-Sharif, journalist of Al-Jazeera killed shortly after a campaign of the Israeli army presenting him as a member of Hamas.

In France, Raphaël Enthoven took over and disseminated these accusations, saying that “all Arab journalists in Gaza” would be linked to Hamas. This thesis is denied by Reporters Without Borders and the Committee for the Protection of Journalists (CPJ), which recalls that 185 journalists have been killed in Gaza since October 7, 2023, against only 18 and a half years of war in Ukraine.

For Laurent Richard, Executive Director of Forbidden Stories, this Israeli unit aims to legitimize operations against journalists: “At first, it consists in launching rumors by sites close to government … and a few weeks or months later, the journalist finds himself targeted by a drone. He will be injured or killed. Forbidden Stories is an international network of journalists whose mission is to continue surveys of reporters reduced to silence, in order to protect the right to information of general interest.

This investigation shows that Raphaël Enthoven is only a vulgar propagandist in the service of a genocidal government. By endorseing the assassination of journalists, he completely dishoners himself. Whoever presents himself as an “enlightened philosopher” has lost all credibility: he unscrupulously relays the narrative of a truly fascist regime. Worse, on October 11, 2023, he declared that “there is a difference to make between people who are civilians, who are murdered in the street by Islamist commandos and the collateral victims of bombing consecutive to this attack”. Raphaël Enthoven therefore makes the difference between the Israeli and Palestinian civilian victims, establishing an indecent hierarchy between the dead, as if there were “good” and “bad” victims.
