#the consequences - and the body count - of the lies peddled by western media about all of our so-called 'enemy states'

[heritageposts]

getting incredibly tired of westerners responding to firsthand accounts shared by palestinians in gaza with the reflexive demand to see a "source"

because by source, they always mean a western news report

never mind, of course, that international journalists are banned from entering gaza; the word of the western journalist, writing in passive voice about a genocide 6000 miles away, is still deemed more 'reliable' than the firsthand accounts shared by the victims living through that same genocide

a palestinian shares a video of an IOF solider brutalizing civilians in gaza? not good enough; they still need a ''source.'' the video in question was posted by a palestinian journalist? okay cool, but does someone have a more reliable source? can we get a word in from the esteemed fact-checkers over at the new york crimes, or the iraq-has-wmds-post? we just don't want to spread misinformation...

#palestine #israel #gaza #also any handwringing about the misinfo caused by tiktok or any other social media is totally worthless without considering #the consequences - and the body count - of the lies peddled by western media about all of our so-called 'enemy states'
