I’m a bit disappointed with the hypocrisy of some commenters here.
So many very questionable articles, posts and statements that can’t be verified regarding IDF crimes get treated as the absolute truth.
Yet a statement regarding a fake story, verified by Hamas and Al Jazeera, gets reported and isn’t trustworthy, since it’s from an institution aligned with Israel?
Yeah I just stopped taking any comments on the fediverse on this topic seriously. People on here are often the extreme left or right it seems. And to have any nuisance gets you yelled at by both.
To me it demonstrated what I was already suspecting, that the far left is just as susceptible to misinformation as the far right. They usually have good intentions (apart from tankies), unlike people on the far right, but they are just as easily misled and painfully unaware of it.
i think at this point the term useful idiot can aptly describe the far left,good intented but some how causing more harm than good.
Don’t get me wrong,the far right is also the same,only i consider the far right crazy to begin with and there are also useful idiots there but just more pronounced in the far left.
I don’t know. These plenty of weaponized information going both ways. Articles like this do it best because of the gotcha manner, enraging people. This article seems to be pretty successful in that manner.
The one big hypocrisy is that there’s clearly one side that bans reporters from entering the area. Therefore obscuring the unbiased news gathering. This leads to mud flinging and biased reporting on both sides, inflaming the readership.
We’re being played, threads like this are a battlefield. Are you confident enough that you’re not the baddies?
A lot of Israel crimes are documented by videos, it doesn’t mean that there is no fake news to make Israel looks even words. Pro israel do the same thing they believe everything IDF says with no proof.
Nobody is saying JPost is lying about this. They’re saying that the conclusion they reach (that Hamas and Al-Jazeera lied and Al-Jazeera is a Qatari mouthpiece) is disingenuous as fuck.
It’s not in dispute. Al Jazeera is literally the state media of Qatar. Their reporting speaks for itself. They follow none of the usual rules of ethical journalism. The hallmarks of their reporting is anonymous and dateless reports taken and published as fact, no disclaimers when reports are unverified, citations to itself, failing to seek and report comment from involved parties, and constant inflammatory and loaded language.
Wait, what’s inaccurate about that? Hamas lies all the time and nobody with any brain cells left regards Al-Jazeera as anything but the media wing of the Qatari dictatorship.

Holy echo chamber, batman.

mostly extreme left but you are also right there are extreme right views.

Which makes tye problem worse. For many people, the default reaction to strong resistance is to double down in one’s own beliefs.
To say that I am disappointed would imply having had expectations, and I’ve long since stopped having those here.
Could someone first post the Al Jazeera article instead?
Al Jazeera removed a video from an article after the woman’s allegations were debunked.

And that’s the English edition. The Arab language version is far worse.
I can’t imagine.
