I could agree that it is not big deal though and I would have never comment on it, if you didn't try to call me out for my initial post. Which, by the way, talked about propaganda from both sides and narratives being very different, without implying that Israel's version is correct.

You’ve gone into details other people have provided repeatedly, so I’m not sure why it’s suddenly different now? Q’s post wasn’t presented as such, you read it as such, which is understandable, but making the leap that Q was being purposefully manipulative is absurd. To what gain? What would that manipulation have achieved?
Your original post touched on propaganda that drives hate, how was the week-later Times of Israel article doing that, if you were also referring to that one? Which is “Israel’s” version, given the fact that the original Times article is equally critical and Al Jazeera has no stake?
The reason I commented on it was because there are a lot of claims of propaganda, misinformation, “manipulation,” etc. in this thread, and while rushing to point the finger at Q, you made claims without any evidence and instead of just admitting you got it wrong you doubled down and purposefully mislead. I think it’d be better if people slowed down a bit, didn’t rush to call everything “propaganda” or “manipulation” when it’s just as likely they misunderstood or made a mistake, and actually listened, yeah? Agree?
