Israel - Palestine discussion thread

I do not know what this means.

No ****.

To make it clear - in my humble opinion - you do not look for facts or answers to the questions you pose, you only seek to propagate those questions in the hope that people will arrive at a conclusion suggested by the initial 'news' report you offer.

Many explosions in Tehran right now.

Yeah, Twitter is now awash with reports and videos of what looks like Iran being hit by Israel.

Well that was more limited than I expected. Hopefully the Mullahs will be like this...again

The Sun is capable of spin, but are you accusing them of spinning direct quotes from an interview?

Be better.

As if that's not how spin works? It's not lying, it's just being misleading with the truth.

You know this. You do it all the time.

These are real people who have been through the most traumatic experiences known to man and because one had the misfortune of being interviewed by The Sun we largely dismiss what she says....

No.

We dismiss what The Sun says she said because The Sun regularly mischaracterises and misrepresents things in situations like these. We go looking for other sources that are more reliable in their reporting with regards to being complete and objective. Because without other sources it's unclear what in The Sun story is true, what is true but with skewed context, what is deliberately misleading and what is lies. They have poisoned their own well, and it cannot be trusted alone any more than a random poster on Twitter or Reddit can. It is at best an indication that there is a story that might be worth looking into elsewhere.

You seem to think that repudiating a source is the same as repudiating the story. It is not. The war in Gaza continues to go on, but there are sources that I would not trust to report on it accurately. Calling out those sources is not denying that the war is happening. It's being sensible about where you get your information from.

Welp.
