    “Especially during this period, we call on the media to show responsibility in their reporting and base their news only on official sources.”

    Separately, the Israeli censor unit, affiliated with the army’s intelligence department, sent a letter to the press on Oct. 26, imposing restrictions on news related to Gaza.

    They said all news and visuals concerning the course of the war in the Gaza Strip and activities of the Israeli army should be sent to their censor unit before publication.

    ‘At that point, it was clear to me that our role is to be a human shield between our forces that arrived and them (Hamas),’ says Hadas Dagan

    “I will never forget the children’s screams” Dagan said, with tears falling down her face, as she described the moment of the twins’ death.

        Terrorists using human shields is always the worst. ISIS did the same thing in Iraq.

        Israel is indeed equivalent to ISIS. What a poignant observation.

            You do realize that this statement was made with respect to the IDF using Dagan as a human shield against Hamas, right?

        States causing genocide is always the worst. Hitler did the same thing in Germany.

      AA is just translating a Hebrew interview given on Channel 12 in Israel. Channel 12 (Keshet 12) is the most viewed TV channel in Israel.

        Is there a link to that? This was published 10 hours ago and I can’t find any corroboration. AA seems to be the only one reporting and they’re a somewhat questionable source. It also seems a bit odd that a Turkish news org would be the only one reporting or commenting on an interview from the most watched channel in Israel.

        Edit: I think in this specific case, this source is highly questionable. They are “controlled by the right-wing ruling party and [have] a very strong pro-government state bias,” and Erdogan has formally taken a pro-Hamas position.

          This site is a bad joke. I see some media in my country widely recognized for having been unmasked for repeatedly spreading hoaxes, marked as “high credibility”.

          What are you laughing about?

          MBFC is even part of rule 3 of this community. If you don’t like it maybe you should leave the community?

              Nice ad hominem you got there

              If you don’t like what MBFC says about your favorite propaganda outlet, maybe tell the Mods that you are sad about it?

                Lol, you use an ad hominem against the other user, accuse me of doing it to you for criticizing you for it, and now you use another one against me plus straw man. If you don’t understand fallacies don’t accuse others of using them, it’s embarrassing.

                  You are using words that don’t mean what you think they mean. Maybe read up about them before trying to impress other people with them?

            You’d think that the minimum standard for a site that’s evaluating media bias and factuality would be that you know what the evaluator looks like.
