"the disinformation is so bad on both sides" 37 reporters in gaza have been literally murdered, 2 have had their families murdered, others have been arrested and the rest are operating under a power and telecommunications blackout. everyone else consists of citizen journalists and everyday gazans sharing horrifying accounts from friends and family who are in a state of panic and terror after being relentlessly bombed and under siege for over a month
meanwhile the esteemed western journalists in their big fact-checking corporations are embedded with the idf that shares a minimum of 3 easily-disproved "this tweet has been deleted" propaganda lies daily while simultaneously firing and silencing journalists who show any tendency to humanize palestinians
this is not mere disinformation on both sides and presenting it as such bc some ppl on twitter and tiktok share edits using footage from previous wars in gaza or syria or yemen (because there is such a wealth of images of middle-eastern children being killed) without confronting the primary reason for the lack of verifiable information, which is israel's assault on the truth, is deeply disingenuous elitist racist bullshit
