Don’t Be Fooled: Remember Nayirah’s “Baby Incubator” Testimony

The recent attack by Hamas on Israel has exponentially increased the amount of gory and bloody videos on X.

Both pro-Israel and pro-Palestine supporters have uploaded videos and posts claiming that each side is viciously attacking “babies”  and children specifically.

For example here’s a post by warmonger Megan McCain:

You’re either on the side of Israel or on the side of the people who beheaded 40 babies. https://t.co/BzIQdpyH0E

Notice the rhetoric, “You’re either on the side of Israel or on the side of the people who beheaded 40 babies.”

She is forcing you to take her position and if you don’t accept it she is claiming you support killing babies.

Here’s an example from a Pro-Palestinian advocate:

Notice something?

They are both using babies to invoke a sense of emotion for you to be emotionally charged to either support Israel of Palestine.

It’s not just these two either, big voices such as Charlie Kirk and Fox News are now reporting over 40 babies have been decapitated by Hamas but have offered no evidence besides testimony.

They found the bodies of 40 Jewish babies, some with their heads cut off.

Now, I’m not denying the fact babies have been murdered due to terroristic acts but the big question is why are major political pundits constantly pushing dead babies in Americans citizens faces without any evidence to back it?

Do they want Americans to be onboard with boots on the ground in Israel or Iran?

Let’s look back in history because the same technique was used before.

Back in 1990, a 15 year old Kuwaiti girl by the name of Nayirah gave her testimony  and claimed that Iraqi soldiers were removing hundreds of babies from incubators and left them to die.

Her testimony was ultimately credited of helping push the U.S. into the Gulf War.

However, it was later revealed Nayirah’s testimony was false and was created by the big public relations firm Hill & Knowlton.

It was later discovered Nayirah was the daughter of the Kuwaiti Ambassador to the U.S.

Ever wondered how a single lie could deceive Americans and drag the country into war?

Per Citizens Truth:

In October 1990, a fifteen-year-old Kuwaiti girl gave a harrowing testimony before the Congressional Human Rights Caucus, recounting inhumane atrocities committed by Iraqi soldiers in her country. It was credited for helping draw the U.S. into the Gulf War later that year. Her claims were ultimately refuted by evidence to the contrary, exposing deceptive motives and sources behind the ploy.

Known as “Nayirah”, the girl told the caucus that Iraqi soldiers had removed scores of babies from incubators and left them to die. Her story was originally corroborated by Amnesty International and other evacuees of Kuwait at the time.

“Public relations” or “fake news”?

According to the New York Times in 1992, the girl’s testimony was actually orchestrated by the big public relations firm Hill & Knowlton on behalf of a client, the Kuwaiti-sponsored Citizens for a Free Kuwait. The client’s aim was to secure military support from the U.S. through raising awareness about the dangers posed to Kuwait by Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein.

The girl who gave the testimony was also revealed to be not just an ordinary civilian but the daughter of the Kuwaiti Ambassador to the U.S.

What led to the contested testimony? In 1990, after the firm was approached by a Kuwaiti expatriate in New York and agreed to collaborate with Citizens for a Free Kuwait, a $1 million study was conducted to determine the best way to win support for strong action.

The firm had the Wirthington Group conduct focus groups to determine the best strategy that would influence public opinion. The study found that an emphasis on atrocities, such as the incubator story, would be the most effective.

Hill & Knowlton is estimated to have been given as much as $12 million by the Kuwaitis for their public relations campaign.

They will use babies to justify war. Remember Nayirah’s false testimony about Sadam Hussein’s soldiers taking babies out of incubators in Kuwait? pic.twitter.com/TIr06FWsek
