Andrey X who made Tweet is a journalist/activist who protects Palestinians against West Bank Pogroms and documents them from the ground. Frequently using his body as a human shield for them.

I've got a lot more faith in this Twitter account than in TheGuardian.

    What Twitter account? It's a screenshot, it has the credibility of this image without a source.

    The article corroborates, not discredits, what your screenshot says. You didn't provide a source and none of us should believe random screenshots without a source, so I provided one without having to go to Musk's fascist bar. We're on the same side here.

    An account belongs to a person and therefore has a reputation. This person holds a higher reputation than TheGuardian.

    I don't blame you for not knowing every activist but TheGuardian doesn't hold much authority with their poor reporting on Palestine.

    Mainstream news has done such a poor job reporting on Palestine they shouldn't be ascribed any authority anymore.

    That's unfortunately not how critical evaluation of information works.

    An account belongs to a person and therefore has a reputation. In some people's eyes this person holds a higher reputation than The Guardian.

    You see the issue? And again, there's no source to the tweet, it's just a screenshot.

    Here's an alternative source, as you have an aversion towards The Guardian despite it backing you up in this case:

    Like at least try to see who you're criticizing

    I'm not criticising. I'm trying to help, you dafty!

    In the information age, and especially on a highly propagandised and emotionally charged topic like Israel/Palestine. None of us should be taking the face value of a screenshot without a source. I provided a source that backed up what your screenshot says. I chose The Guardian because it was the only news source I found without having to go onto X, because I have no interest in using that website if I can avoid it. Maybe in future you could source your screenshots so this waste of time doesn't happen again.

    No good deed goes unpunished I guess.

    At least link to the tweet. It's still just a picture of text that anyone could have made.

    So now Elon's shitty platform is seen as a valid archival and verification mechanism. Got it.

    I mean, I would prefer the journalist use a bsky or even better, their own blog site to post their thoughts. Personally, I wouldn't be using twitter as the sole repository for this sort of stuff because Musk can easily suppress it.

    Bluesky is a Zionist hellscape way worse than Twitter. At least Twitter doesn't instantly ban everyone for posting pro-Palestine content.

    Censorship on Twitter has increased a lot lately yet it's still better than what Bluesky ever was.

    I don't treat either place as healthy places to hear about politics. They're both corporate owned and shouldn't be trusted not to be suppressing political dissidence.

    Regardless, i'd just like a link to the tweet to confirm that this isn't just a picture of text and some rando isn't putting words in the guy's mouth. This is just healthy skepticism.
