Images of Palestinian children and Sleight of Mouth
My thanks to Peter Duke of
for his most enlightening post, Rewiring Beliefs: Spotting The Patterns That Shape Your Reality. I will cite a few of the introductory paragraphs but highly recommend reading the post first before you read this one. I am also indebted to Phil Crane of the Bitchute channel, Fakenukes, for his unwavering commitment to showing that the alleged Israeli-Palestinian war is faked on both sides (as he says, someone’s got to do it) … which doesn’t mean that Gaza (or parts of it) is not being destroyed or that Palestinians are not being expelled using the Abraham Accords.Warning: Phil is brutal in his analysis and I do not agree with him on certain things, notably Hitler being some kind of good guy, nevertheless he is a compelling analyst of fakery in many areas, not just on both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian war.
Robert Dilts is a renowned figure in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and has been instrumental in advancing techniques that leverage language to influence thought and behavior. He developed Sleight of Mouth as a verbal reframing pattern set to shift beliefs and alter perspectives. The technique emerged from Dilts’ extensive work modeling the language patterns of influential thinkers and communicators, including historical figures like Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Gandhi, Walt Disney, Albert Einstein, and Milton Erickson. By studying how these leaders used language to shape perceptions and drive change, Dilts distilled their strategies into practical, conversational tools that challenge limiting beliefs.
Recognizing these two simple patterns is a key to understanding how language frames our perception of reality.
By becoming aware of how if/then=because beliefs show up in our thinking, we can begin to challenge them. You don’t need to learn complex techniques right away. Start by spotting these patterns in your daily life—on social media, in conversations, or even in your own thoughts. Once you’ve identified them, you can gradually explore simple reframes that open up new possibilities, freeing yourself from the limits these beliefs impose.
One powerful technique for using language to shift perspectives and beliefs is Sleight-of-Mouth, a method that helps reframe conversations and challenge limiting ideas. The core of this technique is based on two simple patterns:
If/Then Statements — these assume one thing leads to another (“If X happens, then Y will happen”).
=Because Statements — these assume two things are the same (“X is true because Y is true”).
By carefully looking for these language patterns and examining and questioning these beliefs, we can question our own beliefs, shift someone’s perspective, and even help them adopt more flexible, empowering views.
Below are the following:
Exercise employing the Sleight of Mouth system of 14 different patterns of response to a belief that the images of injured Palestinian children are genuine.
Analyses of images to show their lack of authenticity
Analyses of Hamas hostage fakery
Hypothesis for what is really happening and why we are being shown fakery
Sleight of mouth exercise - the images of injured Palestinian children are genuine
1. Intent Reframe
How it works: This reframe looks at the positive intention behind the belief.
The seeming intention of the images is to show that Palestinian children are callously and cold-bloodedly being injured and killed by Israelis.
This can be reframed as:
“As emotive button-pushing images are always suspect when shown to us by the media, we need to consider that these images might be acting as a distraction from what is really happening.”
2. Consequence Reframe
How it works: This focuses on the consequences of holding the belief.
“If the images serve as a distraction then acting against what they represent is missing the opportunity to act against what is really happening.”
3. Hierarchy of Criteria Reframe
How it works: This reframe introduces a higher value that is more important than the belief.
If the higher value is truth, the reframe might be:
“Exercising restraint in relation to the taboos around death and little children in determining what is really happening is more important than allowing your emotions to seduce you into accepting what the media lays before you.”
4. Redefine Terms
How it works: Change the meaning of key terms in the belief.
“Images that provoke our emotions, especially outrage, shown by the media should always be treated with skepticism; we need to bear in mind that there is a recognised psychological strategy known as Atrocity propaganda.”
5. Counterexample
How it works: Find an example that contradicts the belief.
“There are numerous examples of events that portray staged injury, including September 11 and the 2017 alleged Manchester Bombing and there are events stated by the mainstream media to be instances of atrocity propaganda, for example, the Tiananmen Square massacre (from comment by Jane Cena). In the case of Tiananmen Square the journalist says, ‘But there's no question many people were killed by the army that night around Tiananmen Square, and on the way to it,’ but we don’t know if this is just a case of more propaganda or the truth. The journalist provides no case for this claim.”
6. Metaphor or Analogy
How it works: Use a metaphor or analogy to shift the meaning of the belief.
“Allowing yourself to prioritise your emotions and sense of injustice over detached analysis where power is concerned is like heading north when your intention is to go south.”
7. Change Frame Size
How it works: Expand or reduce the scope of the belief.
“Images are used to affect our emotions and we should always be suspicious of them when shown by the media.”
8. Apply to Self
How it works: Apply the belief back to the person making the claim.
“We know that massive deception by those in power is a fact of life and it serves us well to apply that lens to everything we are shown and told.”
9. Change Outcome
How it works: Shift the focus to a different outcome than the one being assumed.
“Recognising what is really happening in Palestine means that we are in a more powerful position to respond to it.”
10. Another Outcome
How it works: Offer a different possible outcome from the same scenario.
“Instead of accepting images of Palestinian children at face value we can determine what is really happening and act in response to that.”
11. Chunk Up
How it works: Go broader to a more abstract level.
“Images presented to us by the media are artefacts to examine closely along with the narrative that goes with them, not for merely responding to emotionally.”
12. Chunk Down
How it works: Focus on the details, making the belief more specific.
“Do any images clearly show injury and is there any discrepancy between what we are told and what we see in the images?”
13. Positive Intention
How it works: Identify the positive intention behind not accepting the images at face value.
“Not accepting images at face value is a useful lens to apply generally and allows the opportunity to discover what the reality is not just in this instance but the many instances where deceptive images apply.”
14. Model of the World
How it works: Question the assumption that everyone’s worldview is the same.
“Not everyone will respond to the images in the same way, for example, some people will be more affected by the preceding alleged Hamas hostage crisis. When persuading others of what action needs to be taken, a much more powerful position is when you understand the truth yourself. If everyone has been bamboozled by deceptive divide-and-conquer techniques it is difficult to achieve anything.”
Examples of faked injury of Palestinian children
I once saw footage of a man on YouTube who looked as if he was in a South Asian country who’d just lost his legs and arms moments before - the video was later removed. I’d imagine he would have died soon after. It was the most horrific sight I’ve ever seen. We are not shown people injured by bombs (unless significantly after the injury occurs) because the images are too distressing. We simply don’t know what real recent bombing victims look like because they never show real ones, they only show fakery.
In the video below what we do not see is any clear evidence of children only just-made amputees by bombs:
The little girl eating looks as if she might have her forearm tucked under her upper arm and bandaged because her shoulder looks slightly higher than it should be or she may be a genuine amputee, however, if so, not a recent one. She seems to have recovered quite awhile ago and the bandage does not look convincing. She may well have been made an amputee by a bomb or similar but it doesn’t look as if it was recent. It seems odd that if shrapnel hit her hand and her mother saw it hanging by a thread as reported that her whole forearm needed to be amputated.
The little boy lying on the bed wrapped in bandages shows no sign of amputation or anything wrong obviously with him.
The little boy with a seemingly amputated right arm from the elbow is wearing a bandage that is very bulbous at the elbow tending to suggest that he simply has bent his arm and had it bandaged. In fact, at his shoulder it looks as though he has a hand holding it, more noticeable later in the video.
The next child is wrapped in bandages and displays what might be injuries that look old. There seems to be some scarring on the child’s right lower leg but the film is slightly blurred and we have to wonder why that would be.
For the next child, a baby held in his father’s arms, we are told he needs to go abroad for treatment else he will lose his foot but we are not shown his foot.
Admitting DeepFakes and AI
In the AP article, Fake babies, real horror: Deepfakes from the Gaza war increase fears about AI’s power to mislead, Deepfakes and AI are admitted to, however, nowhere is analysis of this fakery presented. The link labelled Israel-Hamas war that seems to suggest we will be taken to a page where it will be pointed out takes us to a page where, in fact, we can work out ourselves that the first image presented at least (below) is a fake, however, no allusion is made to this fakery.
Let’s take a close look at a section of this image:
Phil Crane - silicone and animatronic dolls and other fakery videos
Video showing very realistic silicone doll babies known as Reborn Dolls being made in China explaining how they are used by people to help with loneliness and anxiety. Of course, they can also be used for other purposes. Animatronic dolls are also used.
Phil Addresses The Trolls, Talks About Little Sanad's Hand That Isn't Amputated
Gazawood Actors Remove A Rubber Doll From The Collapsed Building Movie Set
Starvation Doll With Automatronic Jaw And Eyes - warning: can be distressing to look at - the obvious question is, however, if the child were real why would she be starving and no one else around her?
What is really going on and why are we being shown fakery?
I think we can be certain that Gaza (or parts of it) is being destroyed and Gazans are being expelled using the Abraham Accords and we cannot say with any certainty that Gazans are not being injured or killed … but what we can say with certainty is that the images we are shown are faked.
While it may seem senseless to show faked, highly incriminating images of Palestinian children being injured and killed we can see reasons for this:
The psychological impact of real images of injured and killed children would be different.
Distraction from the simple facts of the destruction of Gaza and expulsion of Gazans using the Abraham Accords tends to bamboozle us and make us feel powerless and even guilty. How is it that we are just standing by while children are being horribly injured and murdered?
Offering incentives to Palestinians to participate in the fraud and making them complicit helps grease the wheels of the destruction of Gaza and expulsion of Gazans from their homeland.
Fakery always works better. Propagandising people with lies and half-truths emasculates them.
Phil Crane’s videos showing Hamas fakery
In the first video below, Phil provides commentary while for the rest he provides a few words in the Description which I have quoted next to the video link but no commentary in the videos themselves.
Phil Exposes Emily Damari, Fake Israeli Hostage (extends to Trump, real estate, and the question of how they can redevelop over alleged mass graves).
Note: In his video, Phil does not account for photos showing Emily without bandaging, however, the images of the unbandaged hand are not convincing and there are other problems:We are not told that her fingers were blown off by two bullets (which of itself would be pretty strange) so we must assume one bullet caused the two fingers to be blown off, however:
there is no record of one (or two) bullet/s blowing off two fingers of a person's hand in history while thousands upon thousands of bullet injuries have occurred and it's hard to imagine how that could happen
no comment is made on this unique phenomenon which would surely be expected
the stubs of her fingers are not convincing because the third finger stub is set back from the line made by her other fingers.
the photo in this article (see below) raises questions: the article is dated 2 Mar while Emily was supposedly released on 19 Jan and judging by the seeming healing to have occurred, it would seem that this photo is recent.
No explanation is given for why she's on a table now looking as if she's going into an operation
We wonder at nurses wearing watches in what seems to be an operating situation (risk of harbouring bacteria) and the very non-hospital bedding
We wonder at the item of furniture next to the bed that her arm is resting on that is also covered in the non-hospital bedding.
Hamas Fighter Uploads Last Words Onto Instagram - “I wonder if he got a lot of "likes"? BWAHAHAHAHAHA!”
Hamas Builds Stage To Release Israeli Hostage - “In what timeline of reality does this even make sense? In the FAKE timeline, that's where. This entire war has been a STAGE.”
Fakest Rocket Attack In World History Over Israel - “If you think these fireworks are real rockets then you are retarded. Simple as.”
Jews stage a 12-year old Hamas victim - “The leg bent backwards reminds me of the tranny who pretended to shoot up the convent school in Nashville, LOL.”
From Gazan Instagram, Gaza You Don’t See, which presents a different picture from that shown in the media
Gaza You Don’t See Instagram (thanks to Pete Ross’s comment).
Please note: this is one person’s IG and he could be a paid propagandist for all I know, I’m just showing that Gaza can be seen differently from the media presentation of it.
Video showing new supermarket about to open in Tel el-Hawa, Gaza City, 16 March 2025
Video showing superficial damage to penthouse - image below with comment.
It's the latest example of atrocity propaganda at work.
Another example is the Tiananmen Square massacre, which even the mainstream admits was fake:
"There were hundreds of troops in the square, many sitting cross-legged on the pavement in long curving ranks, some cleaning up debris. There were some tanks and armored personnel carriers. But we saw no bodies, injured people, ambulances or medical personnel — in short, nothing to even suggest, let alone prove, that a "massacre" had recently occurred in that place."

The whole thing seems like some kinda vast Truman Show
