Abstract

As I left Jerusalem on 7 October 2023 from an ill-fated research trip to the city’s Armenian Quarter, mainstream outlets CNN, USA Today , and the Associated Press followed social media pundits in sharing a viral video of Israeli General Nimrod Aloni taken into Hamas custody. 1 In an accompanying clip, a man in fatigues and balaclava escorts a resigned, plainclothes official to, ostensibly, be paraded around in his underwear.
