Since Hamas released the remaining Israeli hostages in Gaza, the following rumour has spread online:
Sharron NEVER misses an opportunity to take her stupid for a very public walk. All the female hostages were released by January 2025, with the exception of the 9 who died in Israeli shelling. pic.twitter.com/3CkFtBocqq

Disinformation regarding Israeli hostages
As can be seen above, Olympian Sharron Davies is one of those spreading the lie:
Genuine question ❓
Should an individual lose their MBE for lying?
Sharron Davies MBE has been caught out telling a very dangerous lie, in the middle of a peace process…
and she still doesn’t remove her post.

Davies is also an anti-trans rights activist or ‘terf’. For whatever reason, there is a strong cross over between people who oppose trans rights and people who oppose the Palestinian freedom movement:
Liberal feminist and beloved children’s author J.K. Rowling after Israel has already killed 70000 Palestinians, most of them women and children:

I stand with Israel. The people coming out for Palestine today are the lowest of the low. https://t.co/ZkAiJcCcJl

Another person spearheading the current disinformation campaign is Laura Loomer:
These are the final bosses of our free world. This cult bends reality 24/7, and it wasn’t just these two. Hundreds of influencers pushed the same blatant lie in sync.
FACT: All female hostages were freed months ago.
In light of that, these claims are nothing short of psychotic. pic.twitter.com/xbxwVt1NpE

There’s a reason why @elonmusk decided to make likes private.
There’s a new script going around the block that “all the female hostages have been killed”
Under every single one of these posts, the top comments are FRYING them for straight up lying
So who’s liking the posts? pic.twitter.com/XSPxdiLqm9

Loomer is a key confidant of Donald Trump, and has exerted influence over who he hires and fires:
Trump on Loomer: Laura has been a supporter of mine, just like a lot of people are supporters, and she’s been a supporter of mine. She speaks very positively of the campaign. Laura has to say what she wants. She’s a she’s a free spirit. pic.twitter.com/ZEH9wKMKWS

GB News panelist Adam Brooks also got involved:
Adam Brooks is that much of a lying, shit stirring tosser that even Julia Hartley-Brewer is calling him out. pic.twitter.com/Wuft2ui26A

Never ending
This latest campaign is a key example of how toxic the online space has become. Every day is a battle against waves of misinformation, with every event turned into a wedge issue by hateful weirdoes with a Twitter addiction.
While it’s exhausting, we all need to keep pushing back against those who wage war and those who provide cover for the war mongers.
