FACT CHECK: No, Pakistan Is Not Holding an Israeli Pilot and Haaretz Did Not Ask for His Return

[Chakar The Great]

A fake image of Haaretz’s frontpage with the headline “Pakistan should return our pilot” is the latest in a series of doctored Israeli newspaper headlines pushing a fake news story alleging that an Israeli pilot was arrested in Pakistan.


In late February, Pakistan shot down an Indian fighter jet and released the pilot days later in March. However, conspiracy theories, fueled by mainstream media and politicians, falsely claimed an Israeli pilot was captured as well.

It's crazy that this needs to be said but since too many people asked me: This @haaretzcom clipping doing the rounds on Pakistani social media is F-A-K-E.

As I've said before, there was no Israeli pilot. The entire ridiculous story came from an unhinged Pakistani diplomat.

Following those events an image was widely shared on Facebook and Twitter purporting to show a news report from the Jerusalem Post that an Israeli pilot had been arrested in Pakistan.

The doctored article was originally headlined “Family bids farewell to pilot who died in IAF crash,” which was published on March 12, 2013 and contains the same photograph of the man and his family.

The image being used in the fake Haaretz story is from an article titled “Israeli Pilots and Blind Obedience? That’s Nonsense” that ran in July 2014.

and Haaretz the biggest israeli newspaper had to run a special report to deny this claim!! lol lol lol abt a social media claim in a country who doesnt even recognizes them!

Power of Pakistan is pretty high and big! now specially we have these pilots with us.

Abb dekh lo Daal main zaroor kuch kala ha!\

 

[Kabira]

Of course not, if we actually had Israeli pilot he would be paraded naked on donkey. It will also expose how incompetent Indian airforce is that they need foreigners to fly their planes. Kind of like how Pakistanis used to fly arab air crafts against Israel.

Try telling this to our local PDF sanghis

 

[loanranger]

Try reporting the Retired General who says he believes we do actually have a isreali pilot aswell as air vice marshal shahid latif.

Shahid Latif never said that

 

[War Thunder]

Well, let me be the conspiracy theorist here.

That clearly doctored newspaper image was spread around by the Israelis to convert a legitimate speculation which was gaining momentum with new revelations from several well known and informed people to give the anti theorists (lakeer ke faqeer) a reason to make jokes over it and then kill it off with a final blow by writing an article about it.

As if Israel has ever accepted the dark ops its forces participate in, and as if Haaretz will actually accept involvement of their forces with the indians.

As for the clever attempt at negating and laughing at the idea of indian and zionists nexus. People need to look up the twice attempted and planned attacks on Kahuta by launching from india. And people need to remember the mention of three collaborates behind the terrorism in Pakistan.


Stop being so easy to manipulate people. Thinking freely and deeply and without the images the media plants in your brain is called "freedom of intellect".

Haqeeqat TV is simply fabricates a dozen conspiracies per day and uploads on YouTube

 

[Baba Google]

Yes, indeed. Your minister supposed to nuke Israel based on a piece of fake news.

who Israel? what israel? Which Israel? Is it on the map? Where? Why can't I see any Israel on the map? Ohh yeah, because there is none, only Palestine. And those who see something called Israel somewhere on the map, soon they won't see any as well.

 

[Dazzler]

Truth is often stranger than fiction. That f Jeffery guy is on Israeli payroll, a big propagandist. Asshole continues to justify Israelis acts and calls Hamas and Hizb as the root cause of terrorism in the region. He'll be the last person to tell the truth.

 

[alee92nawaz]

Which minister?
