I sincerely wish news articles would stop linking to X posts, and instead just mirror the content, or something.
Yes, I don't understand why people keep using this platforn.
It's probably an overhead or creative licensing thing. But it sucks. And if you're a day late to the article, it's a gamble that the video hasn't already been removed.
The same reason people keep using FB: it's a dumpster fire if toxic waste and they like it that way
And Twitter posts as sources is always very sketchy...
It's Al-Jazeera. Their logo is their in the video, and the Arabic is a newscaster talking.
The source is already gone so doesn't really matter now
Hamas is using AI for their propaganda very often, so its not actually safe to say its real just because of a watermark and a voice...
can you substantiate this claim?
You must be thinking of Israel
Article said it’s a must see video, I went to the website and it linked to X.
Shame… I guess I won’t see it
