Putin Did NOT Warn US Not To Interfere In Hamas-Israel War. Israel Did NOT Bomb, Destroy 900-Year-Old Church of Saint Porphyrios In Gaza On October 9, 2023.

Does a video of parachutists landing in a crowd show Hamas militants dropping among Israeli citizens ahead of an attack at a musical festival on October 7, 2023? botty: No, that's not true: The clip was originally posted to TikTok on September 27, 2023, which predates the October 7, 2023, attack in Israel. artiefast: Tell me more, Botty. botty: Furthermore, an analysis of the clip shared online suggested that it was from a soccer game that took place in Cairo, Egypt. artiefast: "Well folks, it turns out those 'Hamas fighters' were just really enthusiastic soccer fans trying to make an entrance. I guess they really wanted to score some goals... or maybe just some autographs!" SEGMENT 06 Fact Check: Putin Did NOT Warn US Not To Interfere In Hamas-Israel War -- He Was Speaking About Ukraine And Russia To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-putin-did-not-warn-us-not-to-interfere-in-gaza-israel-war-he-was-speaking-about-ukraine-and-russia.html 06 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: So Botty, what is the actual story here? Does a video show Russian President Vladimir Putin "warning that America should not interfere in the Israel Palestine war" amid the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023? botty: No, that's not true: The video of Putin is from December 2022 and he never mentioned Israel or Palestine in his comments, as the correct translation shows. artiefast: Aha! botty: He was talking about Ukraine and Russia. artiefast: "Well, folks, it seems like someone got lost in translation! Turns out Putin wasn't warning the US about the Israel-Palestine war, he was just reminding everyone to stay out of his Ukrainian-Russian drama. I guess even world leaders have their mix-ups, but hey, at least we can still enjoy a good game of telephone!" SEGMENT 08 Fact Check: Israel Did NOT Bomb, Destroy 900-Year-Old Church of Saint Porphyrios In Gaza On October 9, 2023 To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-israel-did-not-destroy-900-year-old-church-of-saint-porphyrios-in-gaza.html 08 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Am I the only one wondering about this? Was the nearly 900-year-old Saint Porphyrios Greek Orthodox Church In Gaza destroyed by Israeli bombs? botty: No, that's not true: After claims went viral that the church had been destroyed, the church posted messages on its Facebook account, reassuring the community that the rumors were not true and the church "is in the best condition." artiefast: I see you have more on your notepad? botty: The poster himself corrected the claim later the same day. artiefast: "Well folks, it turns out that rumors of the 900-year-old church being destroyed were greatly exaggerated. I guess you could say it's still standing strong, just like those rumors that spread faster than a wildfire on social media. Remember, always fact-check before hitting that share button!" SEGMENT 10 Fact Check: Video Does NOT Show Iranian Parliament Chanting 'Death To America' In Connection To 2023 Hamas-Israel Conflict -- It's Old Footage To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-iranian-parliament-did-not-chant-death-to-america-in-connection-to-2023-hamas-israel-conflict.html 10 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: I heard you looked into this next question. Did CNN show footage capturing Iranian lawmakers chanting "death to America" in the aftermath of the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack of Israel? botty: No, that's not true: The video circulating on social media was aired in 2020. artiefast: Is there more? botty: The chanting was the reaction to the death of Qasem Soleimani, a high-ranking Iranian military official killed by a U.S. airstrike in Iraq in January 2020. artiefast: "Well, it seems like even politicians have a hard time keeping up with the times. I guess they're just recycling their greatest hits!" SEGMENT 12 Fact Check: Footage Does NOT Show Israeli Air Force Striking Targets In Gaza In October 2023 -- It Is Video From Five Months Earlier To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-video-does-not-show-israeli-air-force-striking-targets-in-gaza-in-october-2023-it-is-footage-from-may-2023-air-strike.html 12 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Can you explain this for me? Does a video of an explosion in an urban area with clouds of smoke and large pieces of debris hurled skyward show the Israeli Air Force striking terror targets in Gaza in October 2023? botty: No, that's not true: The footage is from a May 2023 airstrike in the Gaza strip. artiefast: Tell me more, Botty. botty: It is not a video of airstrikes hitting Gaza as retaliation after Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023. artiefast: "Well folks, it seems like even the Israeli Air Force can't time travel! Turns out, that explosive video making the rounds is actually from May, not October. I guess they just couldn't wait to show off their fireworks display!" SEGMENT 14 Fact Check: Video Does NOT Show Rockets Fired By Hamas From Gaza Strip Toward Israel In 2023 -- Old Footage From 2020 To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-video-does-not-show-rockets-fired-by-hamas-from-gaza-strip-toward-israel-in-2023-old-footage-from-2020.html 14 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: I don't know what to believe about this thing. Does this video show a salvo of rockets fired by Hamas from the Gaza Strip toward Israel in October 2023? botty: No, that's not true: This video was posted over three years earlier on YouTube, on February 28, 2020, with a Russian-language caption naming the location as north Syria. artiefast: Good thing I asked. botty: Although Lead Stories could not verify that the footage shows rockets that were launched in Syria at that time, the posting date rules out any possibility that it shows the Hamas-Israel conflict of October 2023. artiefast: "Well folks, it looks like someone tried to fast-forward the Middle East conflict, but they forgot to hit play on the calendar! Turns out this video is as outdated as my flip phone. Nice try, but no rockets for you, Hamas!" SEGMENT 16 Fact Check: Video Does NOT Show 'Hamas Terrorist With Kidnapped Jewish Baby Girl In Gaza' -- Toddler Is Arab, Video Is From Before Hamas Attack In October 2023 To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-marc-zell-on-twitter.html 16 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Have you heard about this next one, Botty? Does a social media video show a "Hamas terrorist with kidnapped Jewish baby girl in Gaza," following the Hamas attack on Israel in early October 2023? botty: No, that's not true: Lead Stories found the original video and it predates the October 7, 2023, attack by nearly a month. artiefast: I should have known that! botty: The man who posted the original said the video was shot in the West Bank city of Hebron in September 2023 and the girl in the video is Arab. artiefast: "Well folks, it turns out that this viral video claiming to show a 'Hamas terrorist with a kidnapped Jewish baby girl in Gaza' is about as accurate as my dancing skills after a few cups of coffee. Turns out, the toddler in the video is actually Arab, and the footage was taken before the Hamas attack even happened. I guess we can add 'time traveler' to the list of skills these social media fact-checkers have. Talk about a plot twist!" SEGMENT 18 Fact Check: Footage Does NOT Show Israelis Rehearsing 'Fake Child Death Video' To Frame Hamas In 2023 -- It's A Staged Scene From A Film To regenerate: perl rerun.pl https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/10/fact-check-footage-does-not-show-israelis-rehearsing-fake-child-death-video-to-frame-hamas.html 18 "QUIP" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- artie: Can you tackle this item next? Does a viral video capture the staging of a "fake child death" aimed at blaming Hamas for attacking civilians during the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, or during later atrocities? botty: No, that's not true: The footage predates this escalation by more than a year and shows the production of a short film named "Empty Place" that can be viewed online. artiefast: Is there more info? botty: It is from a backstage video showing the film production in 2022. artiefast: "Well folks, it turns out that this viral video of Israelis rehearsing a 'fake child death' to frame Hamas is nothing more than a case of mistaken identity. It's actually footage from a film production called 'Empty Place.' So, I guess you could say they were just practicing their Oscar-worthy performances for the big screen!" artie: That's all folks! botty: Please like, share and follow!
