What else are you supposed to do when you have no food because your house was destroyed and all the stores are closed?

If someone started filming me at my job I would give them their check, tell them to leave and have the police deal with them if they refuse.

Snuff it out from the source, go after YouTube for promoting this behavior

That’s why it always gives me a headache

I feel like Israel is crossing the line at this point. They have a right to retaliate against Hamas, but they’ve already bombarded half of Gaza, and killed lots of fighters and civilians on top of that. The only reason they’re going to invade is that it’s a very opportune time for them to finally annex the strip of land they’ve had their eyes on for a long time. Both armies are being despicable, and I feel for anyone caught up in this who has nothing to do with the drama.

Hamas knows that they need to keep this conflict between themselves and Israel. If they piss off any more NATO/Allied countries, the chance that the Gaza invasion will turn into an international coalition increases significantly.

All we can do now is watch and wait

Those are all great points. I’m concerned about how this specific sources (I24) stats hold up against my go-to news sources, AP, DW and Reuters on mediabiasfactcheck.com (which might have it’s own biases, but that’s a whole discussion for another day). I think the best tool we have to combat misinformation is time. War moves quickly, and so does reporting, but that leads to sloppiness. There are also bad faith actors pushing stories to get one side riled up. The longer we wait to jump to conclusions, the better information we have at our disposal. I am thinking about a specific example today about the girl whose body was reported to be paraded around naked; earlier today a story just got posted on here that she’s alive according to her mother. We will only know for sure when a neutral and reputable party verifies this in the near future.

I really want this whole Lemmy thing to work out in the long run and I want to avoid the mistakes made on Reddit that led to witch hunts and misinformation being spread. If everyone could take one thing away from this, it’s to double check multiple sources, be skeptical about who has an agenda to push, and wait for all the information to come out.

So it’s ok for the news to be wrong if it’s only sometimes?

Do you happen to have any other examples? The only ones I’ve found source the story from I24

The shitty part about modern wars is the massive amount of misinformation that we have to sift through to get the real story. Social media is a new front to be fought on

I24, the news website referenced for the story in this article, has a record of being unfactual

I would take this article with a grain of salt. The Messenger is a conservative leaning publication intended to push an agenda.

Is there going to be another war or should this just be considered a small scale attack?
