With the question of whether Israel is committing genocide in Gaza now before the International Court of Justice, the Biden administration has struck a tone of glib dismissal.

Top Israeli political and military leaders have themselves helped to bolster the case against their government. The words of Israeli officials are being offered as evidence of intent: from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urging Israelis to “remember” the Old Testament account of the carnage of Amalek (“Spare no one, but kill alike men and women, infants and sucklings,” reads one passage); to Defense Minister Yoav Gallant vowing that “Gaza won’t return to what it was before — we will eliminate everything”; to the minister of energy and infrastructure pledging, “They will not receive a drop of water or a single battery until they leave this world.” By speaking openly about destroying Gaza and dispersing its residents, Israeli leaders have publicized what has, in other cases of genocide, been hidden or denied.

So you actually claim that the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, spreads Hamas propaganda?

Genocide Charge Against Israel Must Serve as a Wake-up Call

South Africa cites extensive harm to civilians in the Gaza Strip, including starvation of residents and the dire humanitarian situation. Also, "genocide" is not defined only as the acts a certain state carries out, but also as an intent to bring about the destruction of a substantial part of a certain group.

Israel's Deliberate Starvation of Gaza's Civilian Population Is a War Crime
There's No Way to 'Explain' the Degree of Death and Destruction in Gaza
Israel Killed Thousands of Children in Gaza. How Can So Many Israelis Remain Indifferent?

The fact that Israel is led by the most extremist government in its history, whose members talk about "wiping out Gaza," openly discuss the idea of transfer and call to occupy the Gaza Strip and to build settlements on it; and the fact that the public dialogue within Israel normalizes the killing of 50,000 or 100,000 Gaza residents, the starvation of a population and the withholding of humanitarian aid as an instrument of pressure on Hamas are liable to help the court in The Hague to attribute to Israel genocidal intent.

The entirety of news all around the world claimed that the hospital strike was Israel, yet Hamas admitted internally that it was one of their shitshow rockets that broke apart in air and hit the hospital.

Your answer is irrelevant. The question was:

So you actually claim that the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, spreads Hamas propaganda?

I say it's pretty obvious that the genocide case is based on Hammas propaganda, the newspaper os reporting on it... So they kinda do it but not intentionally.

Do you have any link to support your claim? Like how the Hamas propaganda machine has infiltrated Israeli media, or any media/organization etc.

I ask because so far I am aware of the Israeli lobby. Here is an Al Jazeera Investigation prooving how the Israeli lobby is influencing Britain, for instance.
The Lobby P1: Young Friends of Israel
The Lobby P2: The Training Session
The Lobby P3: An Anti-Semitic Trope
The Lobby P4: The Takedown

On the other hand I am not aware of any documentation claiming that Hamas has a strong propaganda machine. So strong that they even have Haaretz under their thumb, according to what you say.
