Literally everyone assumed at first that they had done it. You know, because of the massive bombing campaign. The Israelis probably took so long to respond because they couldn't believe it wasn't them and had to triple check everything.

even if it's not true the fact that it's believable really says something about my enemies

Regular people believed it because serious papers reported it with uncritical headlines. Professional journ*lists get no such excuse. It is literally their job to be skeptical, hedge first reports from war zones with more qualifiers than beads at Mardi Gras, and continue updating as new info emerges. The failure of news organizations to act soberly around a tinderbox subject, instead of chasing clicks, was a real and serious one here.

He hasn't even hinted that his earlier retweets might have been false.

They weren't though? The first one claims a hospital was bombed, and "estimates" several hundred killed. The second says a bunch of nonsense, then qualifies with "palestine claims". Both are strictly, literally true. They aren't even necessarily misleading to a person with a speck of critical thinking (:marseyclueless: "palestine claimed it, it must be true").

btw this is all that separates journ*lism from misinfo - qualifying your statements - and its absolutely, 100% essential and makes all the difference in the world.

Still, no clarification for his nearly 500,000 followers about who is believed responsible

because they won't find out from innumerable other sources? for fricks sake

Does this mean that the only thing separating misinfo and fact is "in Minecraft" ?
