But like nah. There was some evidence Saudi Arabia backed 9/11. No evidence Israel backed 9/11 that I'm aware of.
I know this shitpost and Israel are genociding and doing fucked shit right now. But call them out on the shit they did. Don't make up shit they didn't do.
More than just some evidence Saudi citizens backed them. However the claim that the government was tied to it was denied. However a portion of the report, or the missing 28 pages as it came to be known, was on this subject. Biden has since declassified, and released, these documents. They show that the ties to the government were real. They have phone, and other communications such as e-mail, between people involved and members of the government. This includes tying a hijacker to a Saudi diplomat. It is called the ENCORE report.
I didnt know Biden released those documents, interesting!
If that's true why haven't we invaded Saudi Arabia? Or put sanctions on them or something.
because they are one of the major players helping to secure the petro dollar, they allow us to have an enormous military base there that we use as a platform for operations all over the middle east, we have intelligence sharing agreements with them, they will work with Israel, they have major business connections to a lot of the firms and corporations that own our legislators, to name a few reasons.
Then why would they sponsor a terrorist attack against the US?
Because not everyone in the government actually likes this relationship with the US, nor did most of the government support the attack, or Al-Qaeda. Saudi Arabia, even its government, isn't a single person, nor is it some sort of hive mind. It is thousands of people, that fight for their own personal interests, and break down into factions of different ideas over different things.
It was supposed to make fun of how fact checking works on Twitter
My friend, I will give you the benefit of doubt and believe you when you say that this post's purpose was to make fun of how shitty Twitter's community notes are, and that is indeed an important topic to shed light on, so people won't treat community notes as reliable.
However,
You can rest assured that a significant portion of the people who saw this post believed it as straight fact.
It is impossible to overstate how gullible people on the internet are, and how readily they will straight up believe conspiratorial BS, especially surrounding controversial topics like Israel.
That's how Poe's law works, and it is attitudes like yours that don't take this shit seriously that end up inadvertently contributing to an environment full of libelous antisemitic conspiracies on the internet.
I beseech you to carefully consider this stuff if you ever plan to post such a thing again.
Oh so you hate literally the one good goddamn Twitter feature, the community notes??
I do not hate it. But if this photo is not edited, then they need to improve it a little bit.
If this photo is not edited? So you were saying it was edited? What the fuck dude, find a real example of Twitter fact checking being fucked. Don't make shit up. What are you 7 years? Or a paid troll?
The key word being "IF" implying they are unsure and are not the direct source of the picture.
Bro, chill
Bullshit.
There are the dancing Israelis which hasn't really been debunked. The rest of the conspiracies aren't directly Israel related.
Open and shut case!
Give me a fucking break you moron
Source?
Open and shut indeed
