    I can’t imagine where this might be happening. Certainly not on some billionaire’s platform. /s

    But this was only one of Hinkle’s untruths: in the same 28 October posting he said that half of the Israelis killed during the Hamas assault were soldiers, many of whom died “during tank shelling”.

    I never able found the claim on this, iirc the soldier is on the low side. Though there’s claim by a survivor that a lot of civilian died during the crossfire, by the hand of reckless IDF. They also shelled the home in Be’eri, though there’s no way to say how many of civilians caught in the shelling. This tell some part of story that IDF did not care about civilian safety when fighting against Hamas, but it did not say that Hamas only kill soldier.

      Some accountability for people creating and spreading propaganda would solve many of these problems.

                But it does mean it will never be “solved”.

                  Sure, but very reduced, because theres now consequences to being a lying piece of shit.

                  Thats one of the main points behing punishing crime.

                  Or maybe we should stop punishing crime because it wont stop it anyway?
