That’s even worse lol. They’re actively bombing and starving everyone in Gaza. ‘If you identify with Gaza, I will happily help you get killed by us’ is the message. If anything the editorializing tamed down the rhetoric.
If you mean OP’s title is sensational, it’s not. But if you mean OOP’s translation is, then perhaps. “Anti war protestor” elicits a clearer image and more emotions than “someone who identifies with Gaza” because it takes more effort to understand the implication
because it takes more effort to understand the implication
I like how out of all the comments CTDummy replied to, they ignored this one, and then argued with all the others how understanding implications has to be misinformation ackshaully
Saying you'll send people who disagree with your actions to the place you're actively bombing nonstop and have vowed to turn into dust seems pretty fashy to me we're well beyond the point of giving isntreal the benefit of the doubt
except it's not. "identify as gazan" means effectively being an anti war protester in this context. They simply expressed the underlying meaning of his implication instead of translating his words literally. It would be like if a mob boss said in a different language "nice place, be a shame if something happened to it." and I translated that into another language as "I am threatening you."
Yeah I agree the "paraphrasing" that some media outlets do is pretty stupid if they don't mention that it isn't an actual direct quote. I think it is good that they try to boil down a politician's statement to what their intention is, like making it clear that this guy is essentially threatening to kill people who aren't warmongers, but they should have that be alongside the original quote as an explainer, not pretend he directly said that. I feel like I see this a lot these days especially on Twitter. I would rather just see the actual video clips of them speaking with an explanation.
And yeah, people on Hexbear are getting a bit antsy I think.
Ty yeah igi. It's weird though since I saw this post very soon after it went up, and it had four upvotes almost straight out of the blocks. I assumed that since people browsing local may see it before those browsing all from other instances, that either something suss was going on or HB users weren't reading the post properly.

Interesting question, but it could just be from people on .ml or whatever browsing by new
