    Not sure what that has to do with FoxNews but that's pretty funny.

    Seems legit...

    Except when you can read Arabic and actually read the first reference of her having nothing to do with her being killed.

    Twitter propaganda is another thread.

    And you definitely should stay out of it when you trust some random twitter account with zero intellectual curiosity. You know you could have translated the Arabic in the image being referenced.

    It simply says roughly "is there anything as beautiful as Palestinian children". So nothing to do with her dying in 2017. It was just a picture someone posted of her. They used the same image to report her death.

    Shocking.

    I'm sorry that NYT is more credible than a random pro Israeli twitter account. I know it hurts you and your narrative. My condolences. But to make you feel better:

    NYT bad. Turley good

    The saddest part about this is how many people saw this and never checked for accuracy and now it's in their bucket for fodder to use to promote "NYT bad". Thanks for contributing to the problems in our society.

    2000 retweets. The web of users who saw this and believed it at face value shows how virulent fake news is and how it fundamentally ****s with basic discourse.

    look dude, I originally included a question mark in part to signify I wasn't verifying or even vouching for the story. And if you take the time to read the twitter thread, there is apparently more going on there than even your quick Arabic translation reveals.



    still sounds to me like the NYT is using clip art. but again, but N.B., I STILL CANNOT VOUCH FOR THIS CLAIM NOR DO I WANT TO TRUTH-CHECK THIS CLAIM TO THE NTH DEGREE

    Graffiti is ugly and can have a price. It isn't dangerous or dramatic. Get a grip, Nancy.

    LOL somebody is getting defensive.

    Did you actually try the I posted a ? defense of you spamming again with disinformation?

    I mean who do you think you are fooling with this crap?

    Everybody is on to you yet you think somebody will be swayed by the ? defense and then you have the audacity to double down after that.

    It's amazing that you actually care what people think about you after being exposed over and over again.

    Can't wait until you break out the i'm a moderate democrat schtick again, you still got that stock photo of a voting slip?

    You actually bolded I the I cannot vouch for this claim statement, LOL.
