The truth behind a photo of a “Kill them All” sign

A photograph captured at a rally in Tel Aviv on April 19, 2016, organised to support an Israeli soldier charged with manslaughter for shooting a wounded Palestinian assailant, has recently gained considerable attention on social media. The image features an Israeli protester holding a sign that reads “Kill Them All.” However, this photo has been utilized in misinformation campaigns that falsely suggest it represents a call for genocide against Palestinians. It is important to note that the full context of the sign clarifies that the controversial slogan was explicitly directed at terrorists, as indicated on the other side of the sign, and not at the Palestinian population at large.
