Israeli News Disinformation: Ukraine & Star Wars Footage

    • “An Israeli TV news channel has run 'live footage' of Russia's invasion of Ukraine featuring a crash-landed TIE fighter from Star Wars.

    An investigation at Channel 13 has been launched and the editor has been suspended after the video was aired during a montage of destruction in Ukraine.

    The clip was originally an advert produced by Disney and Lucasfilm in 2014 to promote a new Star Wars channel on Sky Deutschland.
    It shows the stormtroopers surveying the crashed starfighter on a German autobahn while cars zoom past.

    The original caption said: 'Warning: Unsecured crash on the A3. Please turn right and not overtake!'

    It is believed the video started circulating on the messaging app Telegram after the Russian invasion, duping people into believing it showed footage from the war.
    Ukraine has warned about disinformation being shared online, saying Russia is preparing an online campaign to suggest senior military and political figures have surrendered.



    Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov said that the campaign will include fake docuмents and doctored footage to shift the narrative around Russia's thus far unsuccessful attempts to topple Ukraine's top brass.
    'To ''confirm'' this fake information, seemingly signed ''docuмents'', as well as fake, edited videos will be distributed,' Reznikov said in an online statement, before posting a similar message on Twitter.

    Reznikov assured that the Ukrainian leadership remains in Kyiv despite the Russian onslaught, declaring: 'No surrender! Only victory!'

    YouTube and Facebook have banned Russian state-owned media outlets RT and Sputnik's channels across Europe, after Facebook and Twitter announced over the weekend that it had blocked a set of pro-Russian fake accounts and hacked profiles sharing anti-Ukrainian messages on social media.


    The EU has also introduced a ban on RT and Sputnik's channels, and levied targeted sanctions against key individuals thought to be involved in Russia's propaganda machine, including editor-in-chief of RT and Rossiya Segodnya Margarita Simonyan.



    Some images are even from computer games, he added, warning about the dangers of believing photos shared on social media.

    The Kremlin has in the past used video game footage to claim the US was supporting ISIS in the Middle East, shortly before Russian troops entered the Syrian cινιℓ ωαr in 2017.

    Miss Khomenko asked bewildered questions to the two presenters, who assured her with recent-history lessons on how nαzιs attacked Russian speakers and police during riots in Ukraine - a reference to the 2014 Maidan Revolution.”

    If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?
