A video of an Israeli soldier wearing a dinosaur costume firing rockets into the Gaza Strip sparked outrage on social media.
The first spread of the video came through a channel on Telegram, followed by more than 10,000 people, before it spread on a number of other platforms.
The video clip documented the mockery of the Israeli soldier who appeared disguised as a dinosaur, as he emerged from a tent and headed toward a group of missiles, launching one of them, then climbing onto a tank and beginning to dance to the tunes of the song “Boom” by the American singer Gucci Mane and the Brazilian Sven.
The Telegram channel that published the video was created on October 9, to share dozens of videos of Israeli army operations in Gaza – according to what the Middle East Eye website published.
Another video of a kitchen that was bombed in a house in Gaza sparked ridicule and laughter on the channel, and it said, “This apartment contains a spacious and fully equipped kitchen,” laughter and fiery reactions of emojis from the subscribers.
Another post shows a photo of a Palestinian man sitting in a dazed state in his bombed home, with the caption: “For sale in Gaza, an amazing penthouse with air coming in from 4 directions.” Viewers are also encouraged to share the posts widely in an attempt to “raise morale.” According to the description of those responsible for it.
Another comment said, “Gaza is settled, and its voice must be heard. Share and spread, together we will raise the morale of the people of Israel.”
The channel published more than 700 photos and video clips showing blatant violations against Palestinians and the destruction of civilian areas and buildings. It also shares new daily posts, while its moderators promise followers to share more “funny” or “worth the wait” material.
