There's literally no-one on this planet who will genuinely confuse the sentence "palestinian terrorists are fighting for their freedom" with anything other than a machine translation error.

If only that were true. I can't speak for the world, but I know there are large swaths of the American population and even many people I know personally and probably have as Facebook/Instagram connections that absolutely would take it at face value.

  Can you please explain to me what the "face value" is when the sentence itself is incoherent? Is the "face value" that they are "terrorists", or is the "face value" that they are "freedom fighters"?

Clearly you are not from America... People here believe that the covid vaccine inserted a microchip that was activated by 5G to control their minds. There are absolutely people here who believe saying "Praise God" in Arabic is a terrorist slang term. I see people demand others get off of planes because they are praying to Allah. Anti-Muslim sentiment in America is very high. I guarantee you there are plenty of folks here who would say, "Well, Instagram wouldn't lie about the translation, sooo....".

Anti-Muslim sentiment in America is very high. The examples you provided are entirely different from the topic here. I wasn't talking about "anti muslim sentiment" or anything like that. My point was about coherence. Someone who thinks palestinians are "terrorists" will not simultaneously think that they are some kind of freedom fighters. You either think they are freedom fighters, or you think they are terrorists. You don't think both of these things at the same time.
