Fediverse vs Disinformation
Pointing out, debunking, and spreading awareness about state- and company-sponsored astroturfing on Lemmy and elsewhere. This includes social media manipulation, propaganda, and disinformation campaigns, among others.
Propaganda and disinformation are a big problem on the internet, and the Fediverse is no exception.
What's the difference between misinformation and disinformation? The inadvertent spread of false information is misinformation. Disinformation is the intentional spread of falsehoods.
By equipping yourself with knowledge of current disinformation campaigns by state actors, corporations and their cheerleaders, you will be better able to identify, report and (hopefully) remove content matching known disinformation campaigns.

Regardless of what reuters does or doesn't say, what kind of explanation/justification is targetting "hamas camera"?
The supposed justification is that there was a camera used by Hamas to monitor IDF operations for military purposes. So "Hamas camera" would be used in the same capacity as "US spy satellite".
Leaving the veracity if that claim aside, attacking a hospital to destroy a camera being used to observe your forces operating dangerously close to a hospital is not great.
Also they "double tapped". So after the initial strike they attacked the same spot again to kill the people trying to rescue wounded.
It is a war crime tactic also popular with Russia in their attack on Ukraine.
These kind of attacks are always geared at maximizing civilian casualties by killing rescuers. This does not make sense for destroying supposed equipment.
well next step will probably be "that hospital was full of hamas babies"
Buddy, feels like that step happened a while back
I mean yea kind of but I somehow feel like they haven't yet said "hamas babies". I don't know, I am grasping at straws here trying to imagine how much lower they can go.
