Why share a meme that calls into question the validity of the information when the only actual issue is that they used a screenshot of the wrong section of the textbook.
Because I initially searched for info and didn't find anything, then made the meme... and after posting it, I found an article on Roya News. I didn't want to be dishonest, but I didn't want to remove it either because it's clear that these people don't care to read or fact-check the crap they post. So, I edited the post and added the body. Could result in a good discussion, no?
Ah, didn't realize the body was an edit.
Yep, sorry!
PS: It reminded me of this: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/israel-blames-translation-error-for-claiming-calendar-in-children-s-hospital-was-list-of-hamas-hostage-guards/ar-AA1jVEoO
No disclaimers here, they actually pretended that Hamas fighter names were on that piece of paper, turns out it was a calendar.
