I’m trying really hard not to jump to conclusions.

But like???

freagle , to worldnews in At least 103 dead in bomb blasts near Iran general Qasem Soleimani's tomb

Hmmm. Who do we know that has a history of targeting funerals, weddings, and other social gatherings like this in this region?

Al Jazeera and AP are still reporting around 100 killed but i24NEWS is now saying “at least 211 dead and 171 more wounded

Moussavi was killed near Damascus 12/25

al-Rouri was killed in Beirut 01/02

Soleimani’s memorial was attacked 01/03

Gee I sure wonder who could be responsible…

bedrooms , to news in Young Britons exposed to online radicalisation following Hamas attack

Took me a while to see what the article means by "radicalization" because these days radicalism can mean anything between far right antisemitism and the smallest critique on Israel.

Can't even trust the wording of BBC anymore when it comes to this.

Best quote from the article …

We in the media were unprepared for anyone who lied as effectively and shamelessly as Donald Trump. Jonathan Greenberg, former Forbes researcher

trackcharlie , to news in Young Britons exposed to online radicalisation following Hamas attack

This is what happens in any major conflict when people aren’t provided the means to critically think about the things they find online.

This is a problem of education not just biased reporting and misinformation.

Guaranteed there’s not a single person ‘radicalized’ that has even a remote understanding of the history of the area and the conflicts therein

Israel’s lies …

Mark Regev, a senior adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, told the BBC’s World This Weekend that “Israel does not deliberately target journalists”.

“We’re the only country in the Middle East that actually does have a free press. We’re the only country in the entire region where the press can write bad things and criticise the leaders of government,” he said.

“To say Israel deliberately targets the press is ridiculous, we’re the only country that actually enshrines the free press.”

autotldr Bot , to world in Al Jazeera bureau chief's son Hamza al-Dahdouh among journalists killed in Gaza

This is the best summary I could come up with:


His wife Amna, his grandchild Adam, his 15-year-old son Mahmoud and seven-year-old daughter Sham all died in an Israeli strike.

According to Hisham Zaqout, an Al Jazeera correspondent, Hamza and a group of journalists were en route to the Moraj area northeast of Rafah - which was designated a “humanitarian zone” by the Israeli army - but which had reportedly experienced recent bombings.

It also showed his father Wael al-Dahdouh in tears, holding his hand and standing next to his body in a morgue in Khan Younis.

Wael al-Dahdouh was himself wounded and his cameraman Samer Abu Daqqa was killed in a separate strike while filming last month.

“Al Jazeera Media Network strongly condemns the Israeli occupation forces’ targeting of Palestinian journalists’ car,” the company said in a statement, accusing Israel of “violating the principles of freedom of the press”.

Mark Regev, a senior adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, told the BBC’s World This Weekend that “Israel does not deliberately target journalists”.

And this was a drone strike, meaning it was targeted and controlled on what was being hit.

So the bullshit from the IDF at the end of the article is just that, bullshit.

filister , to world in Al Jazeera bureau chief's son Hamza al-Dahdouh among journalists killed in Gaza

Hamza al-Dahdouh had one million followers on Instagram.

For everyone who thinks that this might be just an accident. I don’t think so. They are deliberately targeting journalists who are critical to them.

there is one truth: NOBODY that can take decisions cares about civilians (in general) killed. Except if it justify a “democratic intervention” of course

steventhedev , to world in Al Jazeera bureau chief's son Hamza al-Dahdouh among journalists killed in Gaza

Sounds like Mustafa Thuria was the driver, Hamza Wael Dahdouh was in the passenger seat, and Hazem Rajab, Amer Abu Amr, and Ahmed al-Bursh were in the back seat (all three of those survived).

AFP says they were filming a house that was damaged by combat, so my guess is they were using a drone to gather footage that is close enough to the drones used by Hamas that the IDF considered it a threat to troops operating nearby.

autotldr Bot , to worldnews in Boeing 737 Max 9: United Airlines finds loose bolts during inspections

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Bolts in need of “additional tightening” have been found during inspections of Boeing 737 Max 9s, United Airlines has said.

Inspections began after a section of the fuselage fell from an Alaska Airlines 737 Max 9 on Friday.

United Airlines said “installation issues” relating to door plugs would be “remedied” before the aircraft type would return to service.

In its statement, United said: “Since we began preliminary inspections on Saturday, we have found instances that appear to relate to installation issues in the door plug - for example, bolts that needed additional tightening.”

The door plug is a piece of fuselage with a window that can be used as an emergency exit in certain configurations.

It was this part of the Alaska Airlines plane which dramatically fell off mid-flight over the US state of Oregon, eventually landing in a teacher’s back garden.
