Be aware of misinformation seen regarding Palestine

It’s not basing on the photos but on the relatives

I don't attend these things as I'm genuinely scared of being attacked on my way there or back.

This was posted on a previous thread yesterday as well. I'm reluctant to go in to details as it feels so disrespectful to the poor man, but there is zero proof IDF shot him based on just those photos.

May he rest in peace

No, 900 were affected by the malicious walk-off. It might be that 600 of them found other ways of getting there, but it was still 900 affected. It's disgraceful.

Just seen it (I searched for it) 300 people. Still far from the nearly 300k they claim attended the demo

@Alcemeg I deliberately didn't respond on the other thread as the derailing is getting ridiculous.

I misunderstood your earlier comment about 'coming onto MN' as being new. Paired with you saying you weren't in the UK. Hardly a wild accusation.

Possibly, we should both assume the other is coming from a well-meaning place.

There are some pretty wild accusations levelled at me on this thread, which I'm not dragging onto others. I'd appreciate if you didn't either.

Did you also see the part where several hundred people were unable to attend due to a malicious walk-off by the bus drivers hired to take them to the march? Utterly pathetic move on the bus drivers part

I’m gonna leave this one inn2 threads as applies to both threads

Evidence Points to Israeli Shells in Strikes on Gaza’s Largest Hospital
Israel said Palestinian militants had misfired projectiles, but an analysis of photos and videos of Friday’s strikes shows that some of the munitions were likely fired by Israeli forces.

Let’s be honest. All threads are hijacked. @Ohlalalalala and I have opened threads and the first comment was to say how wrong we are and boring to open a new thread

How interesting, it just goes to show how we can misinterpret threads. I thought this one was about being careful to avoid spreading misinformation, rather than sharing specific examples of what we believe to be misinformation.

I must admit that "that only benefits Israel" seems a little unfair when what we are discussing is a terrorist group that has completed fucked over Gaza for years, is ensuring maximum civilians casualties there, and has global ambitions.

They often don't match, and up to a point meandering is only natural, but best of luck with a genuine misinformation thread if you wanted to start one

I guarantee it would be hijacked within the first few posts, and while some of us have linked false claims from both "sides" (god how I hate that word ...) you'll certainly be accused of only favouring the wrong one

There's a lot of misinformation/propaganda spreading around and this thread is to raise awareness of the ones circulating

It really doesn't seem like the thread title and opening post are what the thread is about. Theres so many threads about this conflict, an actual misinformation thread would be worthwhile.

@Iwantcakeeveryday you’re not interested in how I came to such a conclusion, because if you were, you’d have seen that I have already posted it.

I know enough information about it to formulate my own opinion, but not on a scale to share with others on this thread - I don’t want to be the one to spread misinformation. Hence I posted an opinion and not a fact. At the moment, the sources I have learnt said information from have been from links posted on social media that I’m aware won’t be without bias. I haven’t had the time to fact check these in depth yet so have formulated an opinion on it.

This is a thread about misinformation. I’m not about to start posting the sources that led to my formulation of this opinion when I don’t have 100% certainty on it myself.

But by all means, go off pretending opinions = facts if you think that will strengthen your argument.
