"You will say that what Hitler did to you was a joke - come on, we are waiting for you," Palestinian political activist Ahed Tamimi said.

Her Instagram post, translated in the link:

“Come on settlers, we will slaughter you. We are waiting for you in all the cities of the West Bank. What Hitler did to you was a picnic. We will drink your blood and eat your skulls”

She has since been arrested:

    When it turns out in a few weeks that she was never associated with that Instagram post, but the Israeli military used it as grounds to round up and execute her family, you’ll all be very quiet on this.

    Israel has no credibility anymore. If you believe a single word from their regime you’re willingly buying into their genocidal narrative.

      JPost is heavily biased, but they linked primary sources that upon review do indeed check out.

      Where did you read she was executed? That would be an extreme escalation.

        They linked a secondary source, which was a twitter post with a screenshot of the supposed Instagram post

        That Instagram post, in turn, was not from her actual account, but from a fake account in her name.

        Come on man, put just the smallest amount of effort into verifying your sources.

          Where did you see that it isn’t her account? I saw screencaps of her coauthor tagging this account. I saw that the account has been active on Instagram for several years (wayback machine captured it first in 2019). I have yet to see a single answer as to her real account - even the previous one she supposedly stopped using last year.

          I did verify my sources. I think you saw something that said what you wanted to think.

            Yeah actually looking further, I think the account I thought was her actual one may not be - I thought ahedtamimii was the main account due to the naming & number of followers, but on a more thorough look I think it is not.

            I retract my argument
