Israeli broadcaster Channel 13 has announced that it will no longer air an investigation into the fabrications of Rami Davidian, a settler who was lionized as a hero after claiming to have rescued over 750 Israelis at the Nova music festival on October 7, following a major public pressure campaign.

One of the most explosive fabrications featured prominently in Sheryl’s Sandberg’s propaganda film, “Screams Before Silence,” which shows Davidian seemingly on the verge of tears in a field in southern Israel as he declares: “these trees… I saw girls tied up to every tree here with their hands behind them.”

“Over 30 girls were murdered and raped here. I had to close their legs and cover their bodies, so no one else would see what I saw. No one can see those kinds of things,” Davidian states, as a concerned-looking Sandberg leans in for a tearful hug.

Davidian’s fabrications were immediately embraced by legacy media outlets, with The New York Times’ Bret Stephens declaring in a glowing review of Sandberg’s propaganda film that “the refusal by so many people to acknowledge what happened, often accompanied by sneering derision, makes it necessary” to print his claims.

    Literally no one saw it, he can’t get the image out of his head because it wasn’t there to begin with, except in his lying imagination.
