Posted by: John Phoenix by Ali Abunimah, reposted from The Electronic Intifada, April 4, 2025 An Israeli man who claimed to have heroically rescued hundreds of people from Hamas fighters on October 7, 2023 has been exposed as an outright liar who made up stories “from beginning to end.” The debunking of Rami Davidian’s fabrications by a high-profile mainstream Israeli journalist is highly significant.
