Hamas Propaganda Filmmakers So Comically Ineffective, Must Be Israeli Agents

The animated work has caused zero intimidation among the target population, but has become a comic entertainment sensation.

Khan Yunis, February 9 – The release this week of another Hamas video production intended to intimidate Israelis, but that instead showcased the amateurish skills and thinking of those behind it, has led analysts to the conclusion that the creative team behind the videos must be taking orders from the Mossad.

The animated work, which shows Hamas missiles striking targets in Israel and Israelis cowering in terror, as lyrics in awkward Hebrew play, has caused zero intimidation among the target population, but has become a comic entertainment sensation. Mothers of small children, ostensibly expected by the video producers to cringe in fear at the prospect of rockets raining down from Gaza, have been seized by fits of giggles upon watching the clip. Israeli political leaders, who under other circumstances might voice concern over their constituents’ agitation, have similarly chuckled and shaken their heads at the naivety of whoever put the video together. Because such developments should have been an obvious outcome, given previous pathetic attempts by Hamas, experts believe the only reasonable explanation for the continued production and release of such material involves operations by the Israeli secret intelligence agency to demoralize the enemy by showing that attempts to conduct psychological warfare on the Israeli population have the opposite effect.

Two other productions of a similar nature have garnered laughs in recent years. The first was released during Operation Protective Edge, Israel’s military operation to suppress rocket fire from the Gaza Strip in the summer of 2014. So ineffective was the video that Israelis took to singing the accompanying song for their own amusement, reveling in the technically correct, but stylistically awkward Hebrew rampant in it.

A second production in 2015 involved a dance-mix-worthy song with a rhythm and tune so catchy that Israelis made it a short-lived hit.

“My colleagues and I are ninety-eight percent sure these productions are the fruits of an infiltration of Hamas by Israeli operatives,” said Hugh Gottabee-Kidden, an analyst at the journal National Security. “No competent organization would keep churning out these laughable videos after seeing how ineffective, even counterproductive, the earlier ones were. The five percent probability that this is an intentional series of acts on the part of Hamas is that looking at the Palestinian modus operandi for the last however many decades, ineffective and counterproductive seem to be prerequisites for almost anything they do. So it’s still possible it’s not an Israeli operation.”
