    What a shit article. All she did was support the Palestinian cause and now they’re putting shit in her mouth (no pun intended).

    I don’t like how the narrative is being forced in this conflict. They are clearing the way for something very sinister. We’re about to witness a western sanctioned genocide. There’s no way Israel is letting this opportunity go.

    Something is going to happen soon in the West Bank too, I call it.

      Look man, you can support Palestine, but telling the soldiers to turn their phones horizontally for better execution videos of civilians is a bit much.

              Well, that’s your choice to side with her on that. A lot of people are interpreting it as 1) a terrible time to try to be funny and 2) can easily be interpreted as support for Hamas, until she got a ton of backlash and it started to cost her money and then she ‘totes didn’t mean it that way, just a prank, for realz!’

                It really is a choice to claim someone said something which they did not actually say at all.

                Saying “they said x and I think they meant y” is entirely different from claiming “they said y” while knowing they in fact said x.

                This is not controversial. Interpretations are fine, actively crafting disinformation is not.

                  That was her mistake - the comment was too vague, so the media jumped on it, skewed the narrative, took that skewed narrative and grossly exaggerated it further, and denounced her as pro-Hamas. It’s obvious to see with even a little bit of reading and it’s both frightening and disgusting.

                    Uhh, no. It was not her mistake that biased media outlets with an agenda say she said something while not actually reporting the exact thing she said.

                    It’s bad journalism, but I don’t think anyone expects reputable journalists to take this matter seriously.

                    No, that one comment was not vague, the only active “fighters” to be called “freedom fighters” were Hamas.

                    There is no ambiguity, no vagueness.

            Hmm. That’s actually not that bad.

            It’s nice to see original sources for things. Everyone likes to twist and distort reality to support their agenda.

              Who are the Palestinian freedom fighters she’s referring to?

              Edit: She clarifies she means the civilians. It’s an awful choice of wording, but I can give her the benefit of the doubt.

      you mean another Western sanctioned genocide?

      China with Uyghurs has been going on for a while with no response from the west.

      Saudi Arabia, UAE etc wih Yemen, the weapons were sold for ot by the west.

        There’s a difference between just looking the other way and actively endorsing it.

        The West is 100% backing Israel and they’re not letting this chance go. Palestininans are going to be killed and deported, including Israeli Arabs. I call it. Something will happen in the West Bank soon or even in Israel itself and then Israel will come up with its own “final solution”. We’ll definitely see mass expulsions. The propaganda machine is already clearing the road ahead.

        And when we see what we were actually endorsing we’ll try to take back our support but it’ll be too late. Their blood will be in our hands.

          let’s agree to disagree. I unfortunately have this nice example from history where they looked he other way, until they couldn’t.

          maybe you have heard of it it’s like one of those rare sequels that’s a bigger box office hot than the first installments WW something

      These comments are full of people spreading objectively false narrative. It’s concerning. Are people in Lemmy intentionally spreading misinformation or do they think what they’re saying is true? Either way, it’s concerning.
