        They aren’t, it’s the ratchet effect, if it were jewish family that was executed, making it about the tweet would be the last thing on their mind, it’s intentional

      Andrey X who made Tweet is a journalist/activist who protects Palestinians against West Bank Pogroms and documents them from the ground. Frequently using his body as a human shield for them.

      I’ve got a lot more faith in this Twitter account than in TheGuardian.

        What Twitter account? It’s a screenshot, it has the credibility of this image without a source.

        The article corroborates, not discredits, what your screenshot says. You didn’t provide a source and none of us should believe random screenshots without a source, so I provided one without having to go to Musk’s fascist bar. We’re on the same side here.

          An account belongs to a person and therefore has a reputation. This person holds a higher reputation than TheGuardian.

          I don’t blame you for not knowing every activist but TheGuardian doesn’t hold much authority with their poor reporting on Palestine.

          Mainstream news has done such a poor job reporting on Palestine they shouldn’t be ascribed any authority anymore.

            That’s unfortunately not how critical evaluation of information works.

            An account belongs to a person and therefore has a reputation. In some people’s eyes this person holds a higher reputation than The Guardian.

            You see the issue? And again, there’s no source to the tweet, it’s just a screenshot.

            Here’s an alternative source, as you have an aversion towards The Guardian despite it backing you up in this case:

                I’m not criticising. I’m trying to help, you dafty!

                In the information age, and especially on a highly propagandised and emotionally charged topic like Israel/Palestine. None of us should be taking the face value of a screenshot without a source. I provided a source that backed up what your screenshot says. I chose The Guardian because it was the only news source I found without having to go onto X, because I have no interest in using that website if I can avoid it. Maybe in future you could source your screenshots so this waste of time doesn’t happen again.

                No good deed goes unpunished I guess.

    The children of darkness hate the sons and daughters blessed by the Sun, however under the light only the Truth can prevail.

        It used to be a lot harder to see the truth, when corporate and government media were all most people had access to.

        They really don’t like it when they lose control of the narrative on social media.

          I’ve been reading Finkelstein’s book about Gaza, and it’s really struck me pretty hard how the major difference between the situation 20 years ago and now is how the media landscape has changed. It’s pretty clear to me that all the bluster about children on social media and ID verification is just an attempt to return to those days.

        Not sure I see the civilizations picture democratically voting altogether against our interests is supposed to be a healthy relationship between citizen and government?
