Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Damage is done anyway. Classic tactics

Yep, it'll keep popping up, like the beheaded babies story. Not sure why they feel the need to lie like that, the stuff that Hamas had been confirmed to have done was bad enough.

You know why they feel the need to lie like that: to justify their genocide of the Palestinian people. This is what Zionists always wanted, now they just have a pretense.

Just like the hospital strike the was falsely blamed at Israel with an inflated death count. No amount of redactions has stopped people from still claiming that as the truth.

And it should be noted that their retraction statement doesn't even mention or detail what the article is in question or what it was about. So still trying to hide their failures even to the end.

Thank goodness Twitter still has Community Notes by users (for now, since Elon wants it removed because it keeps correcting his lies).

Even if one of the 15000 killed Palestinians was a doll, doesn't change the fact that Israel response is completely disproportionate as it's targeting civilians instead of the terrorists
