      I… didn’t say that. I don’t doubt they did it, but you didn’t post a source and are making claims based on what, exactly? The BBC noted a cut in the video and that the scene could have been rearranged. Idk why you’re so up in arms.

        The BBC compared the original video to the one they correspondent took and noticed that the guns had been shuffled and a new gun had been added to the pile.

        If I didn’t link the full video, that’s my bad. I’m not sure how to link BBC broadcasts.

          Sure but to say they outright accused Israel of planting them is wrong. Good information is already hard enough to find. They are still pussyfooting around it and took a fairly neutral and evidence based view. That is all I’m saying

            A new gun was placed in the pile before it was shown to journalists.

            How, exactly, do you define “planting” if that’s not it?

              Why can’t that be an additional gun they found? Maybe it was rearranged for camera? The BBC segment did not make any hard claims just that the evidence was suspect. You can draw your own conclusions but you can’t say the BBC outright made this claim. Don’t trust the IDF blindly, but I have to approach reporting on the conflict this way to stay sane. Too many people spewing nonsense, misinformation, and propaganda (not u specifically).

                The IDF, claiming that they’re giving journalists unadulterated access to a supposed Hamas base:

                  Exactly. We only know they aren’t being fully forthcoming. We don’t know the reasons and can only infer. The BBC stopped short of drawing conclusions and merely fact checked the statements they were given. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

              Clearly they didn’t till the soil first. Can it really be planting?
