At an October 8 panel at Reichman University’s counter-terrorism summit, the founder of Gaza Children Village, a US-based charity, said it plans after-school Xbox and Nintendo games to teach Gaza pupils about the Holocaust. No date was given. Israel Today’s October 11 headline is JNS’s from October 8, copied word for word. Its subject is the games; the children are what the games are used on; the people who would hand them out are gone. The article’s own facts fill the gap: a US-based charity, Gaza Children Village, which says it runs 21 academies for about 22,000 children, told a panel on October 8 that it plans the games after school. The same article says it was not immediately clear when. The page adds what the headline does not. Israel Today swapped JNS’s photo of NGO Monitor’s Gerald Steinberg at the podium for pupils on their first day at an UNRWA school in Nuseirat, then quotes Steinberg saying UNRWA should be taken away entirely. Its only on-record voices are Hasan and Steinberg, both from the stage that pitched the plan. The tell is in the voice count: when everyone quoted shares one stage, the story is that stage’s account. The privacy concerns the Associated Press reported are absent. Beside it, the same panel answer moves in opposite directions. The Jewish Chronicle names the doer, ‘Charity plans’, then writes in its body that the games ‘will be used’. Matzav turns a plan with no timetable into schools that ‘Introduce’ an overhaul against ‘Terror Incitement’. Caitlin Johnstone’s newsletter makes it surveillance by an unnamed ‘They’re’. Hasan’s own words stayed in the future tense: ‘we’re going to teach about Holocaust’.
