Fediverse vs Disinformation
Pointing out, debunking, and spreading awareness about state- and company-sponsored astroturfing on Lemmy and elsewhere. This includes social media manipulation, propaganda, and disinformation campaigns, among others.
Propaganda and disinformation are a big problem on the internet, and the Fediverse is no exception.
What's the difference between misinformation and disinformation? The inadvertent spread of false information is misinformation. Disinformation is the intentional spread of falsehoods.
By equipping yourself with knowledge of current disinformation campaigns by state actors, corporations and their cheerleaders, you will be better able to identify, report and (hopefully) remove content matching known disinformation campaigns.

nowhere in the Article does it say what Sanders said. It is 100% a response to what he might have said.
The controlled opposition tactic right now is extreme criticism and attacking the only people on your side for not being on your side enough.
“Israel has a right to defend itself” is an Israeli slogan and a truism.
if anyone criticizes Israel’s genocide, the propaganda response is always, always “Israel has a right to defend itself” and “you’re pro-hamas, therefore pro-terrorism”… so the only way to avoid that is to address it.
Everything has a right to defend itself, but Israel is not defending itself by waging genocide on palestine for decades…
this whole editorial is about the “israel has a right to defend itself” slogan and nothing about what Sanders actually said.
also, in you like Norm Finklestein, he makes a cameo in this Rap News about Israel v Palestine (note the date)

In the same breath he wants to stop giving israel arms he said they had a right to commit the genocide that has been happening for decades.
This is the left critique: He is both sidesing genocide, when he should have always been on the side of the palestinians, even on october 8. This is what leftists want out of Sanders and why he is criticized. Its a very moderate opinion, and nowhere near as biting as the lives of Palestinians demands, and way too late.
Its vermont. Vermont voters are rich old white israeli symathizing democrats. He represents them in the senate. Its not hard at all to understand why he says the things he does. He literally is just doing his job at representing his constituancy. It just sucks he cares more about them than palestinians but at least hes honest about his work. Its why he has his immigration stances since forever. American lives > non americans because his job is to represent tax-paying americans.
he did not say that. Why are you lying?
Ah, sorry, he said Israel had the right to defend itself from Palestinians after Oct 7. My apologies for putting words into his mouth.
fuck off
Did I lie again? What did he say differently?
