It was not the case though. Q made it look like Smotrich's comments were after killing of 13 years old, while in reality they were after first incident and have nothing to do with killing of 13-years old kid.
So I initially read what Smotrich said about recent events in town. Then I looked at the date of Al Jazeera article and realized that Q is referring to Smotrich's comments that happen last winter. So I had to redo my entire post, although the point of propaganda still stands. The narrative about the events is drastically different in those articles.

No, that’s how you read it, not how it was written. Why blame Q?
How does your point of propaganda still stand at all? It’s a lie. The first article was written 8 days before the second, so of course they’re going to be completely different as the stuff mentioned in the second hadn’t happened yet. And the two articles from those media outlets written on the same day about it are very similar in both content and tone. They report the same events.
“Propaganda” isn’t whatever mistake you make. You can’t misread someone’s post and accidentally choose an article from months later and call it “propaganda” or accuse them of manipulating you because you got it wrong, just as you can’t choose an article from a week after the situation had evolved and attribute the differences between the articles to “propaganda.”
As you just said: “I appreciate bringing facts into discussion, but it would help if you got facts straight.”
Instead of falsely accusing posters of purposefully manipulating you and spreading propaganda, stick with getting the facts straight and what you can actually show evidence for. Because those kinds of allegations without evidence are no better than the propaganda you pretended to see.
