If you hear extraordinary claims, such as the comment above that claims Ben-Gvir called for the daily killing of 30-40 Palestinians, you should ask not only for solid evidence but also context.
I am not at all surprised that it was a comment about the targeted assassination of terrorists, or people who participated in the October 7th terrorist attack, or something like that.
These tactics are obvious. Take a quote out of context, omit the part that points at the real context ("targeted assassination") and tack on "Palestinians" instead, so that it sounds like a clear call to murder civilians.
Do you not think we should aim for higher standards in discussion on here?
It reminds me of headlines claiming Trump threatened a blood bath [for the auto industry] if he isn't elected.
How gullible do people who quote out of context think we are?
- westpfelia 2mo agoSorry what part of the quote was out of context? Sure sounds like he said they arent even people.
- ceejayoz 2mo agoI provided some important context in my post. The man once had a shrine in his house dedicated to a mass murderer of Palestinian civilians at prayer, including a twelve year old.
- user43928 2mo agoFair enough, I should have replied to the user who originally posted the manipulated quote out of context.
