False claims about the latest Israel-Hamas war are flooding social media, making it difficult for onlookers to sort fact from fiction. Here are the facts: The Israeli military didn't say in a Facebook post that it bombed a hospital in Gaza, the account was a fake.

While plenty of real imagery and accounts of the ensuing carnage have emerged, they have been intermingled with users pushing false claims and misrepresenting videos from other events.

Among the fabrications, users have shared false claims that a top Israeli commander had been kidnapped, circulated a false video imitating a BBC News report, and pushed old and unrelated clips of Russian President Vladimir Putin with inaccurate English captions.

Here is a closer look at the misinformation spreading online — and the facts.

    I don’t care what imaginary god you worship, if your imaginary god sanctions the killing of children, you worship a malevolent imaginary god and are yourself malevolent.

    Meanwhile, the Satanic Temple and the Church of flying spaghetti monster’s death counts? 0

    That clearly proves beyond all doubt that both Satan and the flying spaghetti monster are both better, more benevolent, and more well endowed sexually imaginary gods than Allah or Yahweh.
