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.
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.

Holy echo chamber, batman.

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.
