In case there is a remote possibility it is not, let me give you a hint: the sources distributing false information are quick to blame Israel on the basis of false rumors and innuendo. Some of these sources don't even bother to base it on anything and just presume Israel is guilty by default.

There is no shortage of these sources and you don't have to go far to find them. so you can use the above descriptions to easily identify them one by one. To get you started, a couple of them make prominent cameo appearances in your OP.
