2020 Photo of a Woman in a Protest Against Racism Shared in Relation to the Gaza War

Misbar investigated the viral photo and found it to be misleading. 

The image actually depicts a Muslim woman participating in a protest against racism towards Jews in the New York neighborhood of Brooklyn. 

New York Muslims gathered to express solidarity with members of the Jewish community, three days after the anti-Semitic attack, where five Jews were stabbed during the Hanukkah celebration by a knife-wielding man who barged into the celebration in  New York City and attacked victims randomly on December 28, 2019. The attack comes amid a surge of attacks on Jews in the New York City area in 2019.

The rally entitled “Safety in Solidarity” brought together religious leaders from the Jewish, Christian, Muslim and Sikh communities after a series of anti-Semitic attacks in the U.S.

U.N. Adds Israel to Annual ‘List of Shame’ for Violations Against Children 

Israel has been added to the United Nations “list of shame,” which is attached to an annual report submitted by Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’s office that documents rights violations against children in armed conflict. The report covers the killing, maiming, sexual abuse, abduction or recruitment of children, denial of aid access and targeting of schools and hospitals.

The report accused Israel of using large-scale bombings during its siege of Gaza, which have resulted in high civilian casualties, and noted the government's failure to punish settler attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank.

The Palestinian Authority Ministry of Education and Higher Education said this week that more than 15,000 children have been killed since Israel declared war on Gaza on October 7.

Guterres’s office called Israel’s Ambassador to the U.N. Gilad Erdan on Friday to formally inform him of the decision to include Israel in it. Notably, for the first time,  Israel has been included on this list, joining the ranks of Russia, the Islamic State, al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, Afghanistan, Iraq, Myanmar, Somalia, Yemen, Syria and Hamas.

In a series of posts from his X account, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized the U.N. for the decision saying "The UN put itself today on history's black list when it adopted the absurd claims of Hamas."

He added that the decision is delusional and that the Israeli army is the most moral military in the world. Despite killing over 36,700 civilian Palestinians in brutal attacks on the Gaza Strip since Oct 7.
